why don't you do arts and crafts for 5 hours and then you'll calm down

Okay that's an absolutely unreasonably low price.

One of my coworkers keeps commenting on how I'm always working on some craft or other and they've literally never seen me without something next to me, and it's like... what can I tell you; each crochet or knit stitch or bit of fiber drafted out puts an extra centimeter of distance between me and the flesh eating snail that's been chasing me my whole life, and if I stop it WILL catch up within the fortnight, and it promised the first thing it will eat is my hands, so if nothing else I want a stock of socks and bags and my gloves mended and stuff. I mean you know how curses are.

gauge swatch this, gauge swatch that

you want so badly for everything to be neat and predictable. who said crafting was an orderly process? that the act of creation was anything but chaotic? how little do you trust in yourself, your skills, your ability to improvise? if you would not gleefully destroy the work of your hands, for any reason at all, do you even understand what it means to be a maker? if the idea of something turning out imperfect scares you so much, and you are unable to turn back mid-journey and start over, yes, do a gauge swatch. do 10. do 20. do as many as you need to calm your terror at the thought that life is inherently unpredictable.

if you understand why the god of creation must be one of death and destruction also, you will be able to free yourself.

embrace the chaos.

frog that sweater.

Hello and welcome to National Knitting and Crochet Month 2024!!

It's been a quiet few years around here, what with there being a plague and all, but we're back and ready for action! I'm @tassified, you can call me Tassi, and I'll be your tumblr mascot for the month!

You may be wondering what this is all about, so let me explain: NaKniCroMo is a small, all ages grassroots project that's been around since 2017, styled after the more famous NaNoWriMo. Instead of writing a novel, we craft until we can't craft no more!

Pick yourself a challenge for the month - got some WIPs that need tackling? Got a special project you wanna do? Want to learn a new craft? All sorts are welcome around here!

There'll be a prompt challenge for you to do with as you see fit, and a lot of fun centered on yarncraft! Stick around for more information throughout the month!

More fun and community is waiting for you:

Friend of mine sent me this and I think this will really fit in my blog.

Idk why I thought I had enough mint choc chip yarn for another pair. So I thought it would be cool to change colors in the middle of the heel. And then use up the rest of the mint anyhow. Then they were too short, so the dark blue. And by then I was in too deep NOT to finish with the neon green. Uglier than my wildest dreams 💚

Quick reminder on why it is never a good idea to piss off a fiber artist:

Go ahead. Insult a crocheter. Say their craft is somehow inferior. Remember a crocheter can use their hooks go Ancient Egyptian on you and rip your brains out through your nostrils, except we won't bother to mummify you first.

Knitters will not stab you with their needles because some of them are rather fragile, but they will knit you a fetching sweater...a CURSED sweater...THAT cursed sweater...and purposely make it about 5 sizes too small and strangle you with it. It will hurt, but you'll look amazing.

Embroiderers and any sort of seamsters use a sharp object to stab something thousands of times to make it pretty. Do you want to be made pretty? Do you? We WOULD REALLY LIKE TO MAKE YOU PRETTY...

Weavers can make your death shroud from scratch. We're talking sheep to fabric. All they'll need to do is make sure you are in the proper state to be buried. Know that it takes only a moment to make that happen.

Spinners make what is varying thicknesses of rope. Do you know what can be done with rope? Do you really want an answer to that question?

Here is the True Golden Rule: Thou shalt not demean those who work the fiber and expect mercy, for we shall have none. Your destruction will be made of ten thousand knots and each a curse upon your name and your house.

And, we heed the call to protect one of our own with the ferocity of angry bees.

Just be nice to your local fiber artist.

Chances are you'll get something warm out of it.
