Something kind of funny I never anticipated about crocheting with longer hair was pulling out a piece of my own hair out of my project that I somehow crocheted into it
#art#fiber art#crochet#most likely that strand fell out mid-stitch and i just... crocheted it in#love in every stitch? no. HAIR in every stitch#also i'm watching a video about knitting (war-time knitting specifically) and it's sparking memories#i forgot the sheer effort that was getting women to knit for soldiers (understandably because i wasn't alive during those wars but still)#molly was my favourite american girl book and i think that's where i first learned about that as a kid????#but those books weren't mine they were just family books and i LOVED reading fiction back then#and i really liked the historical aspect to those books in the sense that they were about girls in specific historical periods#and they incorporated actual history in it - to the full extent i'm not sure because i haven't read them in close to ten years (idk)#and it's interesting to see just how many people - not even just women! - knit for soldiers#i'm learning now from this video the sheer number of other people who started in knitting#anyway this is why i'm begging men to also do fiber arts (watching a reel of a guy crochet a blanket and HELL YEAH BROTHER)
