drives me crazy when I see tiktoks or youtube shorts or whatever of people who churn out knitted sweaters by the handful bc it’s so obvious that they’re doing every adjustment they can to the pattern to make it a faster knit (loose knit, thick needles, chunky yarn, and ALWAYS cropped) but then I go and do the exact same thing when I knit socks so how different are we really. hypocrite? me? always <3

#the one difference ig is that my techniques keep the socks functional for me #I make them shorter than you’re supposed to bc I like them shorter etc #what I need from a sock is for it to be at least a centimetre longer than my boots to prevent chafing #and to be nice and thick #which is what I make #do I need more of the thin but slower worked socks? absolutely. and I’ll get to that. one day #but cropped knitted sweaters? they make me SEETHE every time I see one #I KNOW they’re doing it to skip the boring part of working up the appropriate length once you’re done with the shoulders #it’s annoying as hell to do! I know!#but cropped sweaters are soooooo useless to me #I know they’re trendy but I’m grumpy #how’s that thing keeping you warm huh. you’ve got air inflow from every angle (from the belly and through ALL OF THE REST OF YOUR LOOSE KNIT #)#there are HOLES in your SWEATER
