Hey, probably a question you have heard a thousant times. But what is the best way to get into any of the fiber arts? Books? Youtube? Actual people teaching you? (and if so how in the hell do you find them)
I started crochet and knitting but I pretty much can't get out of the basics, I can't managed to finish something that I have started cuz I always get frustrated that it's starting to look bad...
Hi! That's actually a really good question. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately, depending on how u look at it) the only way to get any better at fibre crafts, is to keep doing them. Practice really does make perfect. There is no book or video tutorial or in-person teacher that holds the one ultimate secret that will make you Good At Crafts. All of these can be valuable resources if you struggle to understand how to do a specific thing; you can be taught stitches, and how to read charts, and such things. But the only way to really learn is to practice.
This is because there are more skills involved in crafting than just knowing how to do certain stitches. Confidence, patience, frustration tolerance: you can't learn that from tutorials. These are essential skills that you need to build. And the best way to build them, I'm afraid, is to actually finish the damn thing. Even if it has mistakes. Even if it "looks bad". You need to learn how to tolerate imperfections, if you ever want to get anything done.
Now that doesn't mean you should bully yourself. If you get easily bored and frustrated, leave the scarves and sweaters for now, and start small. Potholders, dishcloths, scrubbies or coasters are all projects that finish up quickly and yield usable objects, even when they are not perfect. If you never allow yourself the dopamine rush of Fuck Yeah I Made That, how do you expect yourself to build up the resilience to stick through the parts where it is slow and difficult and makes your fingers hurt?
Here are Ravelry searches for free dishcloth and potholder patterns.
Of course that doesn't mean you should only do those projects. You can do whatever you want. The most important thing is to teach yourself that you can have success, and the only way to do this is to successfully make things.
Also, it should always be fun. If it's not at least a little bit fun, maybe the technique isn't for you. This is also an important skill to develop: To learn when to stick through a bout of frustration, and when to abandon something.
There is a very steep learning curve. But you can and you will get there. I believe in you, and I also believe that what "looks bad" to you is perfectly fine.
#do you think i am perfect? no!#i dont make flat sweaters because my tension is shit#i cant do colourwork for the same reason#but yk what? who cares!#its okay to make mistakes and be imperfect its fine#learn to be patient with yourself#and also frogging something is fine too you need to enjoy the process of making#not just having the finished object#idk thats probably not what you want to hear anon but its the only advice i can give#this post was brought to you by that hat i am currently crocheting which i started over 4 times and ripped back a significant portion of#4 times more#its fine. its literally fine. i'll get there when i get there.#but thats the kind of frustration tolerance you need to build and for this you need to start out small#anonymaus#message#crafts

gojo would kill your work husband. but if he were the work husband, that's a different story
REAL!! heās such a hypocrite because if someone mentioned you had a work husband, his entire world would stop and he wold devise the absolute worst plans to make sure that your co-worker, everyone at your job, and everyone in the next building over knew that he was happily committed to youĀ
but if he is the work husband, heās very........ dutiful in his role. thereās a loose office/lawyer au in my head where satoru is your secretary, and for all intents and purposes, your personal assistant, and heās good at his job, but mostly because he considers his job to be pleasing you. he has coffee for you when you arrive, he moves your schedule around without you asking, he has answers to questions before you can even ask them, he has fresh flowers on your desk weekly, pokes into your meetings to pretend to hand you a file thatās really just maybe a single document in a manilla folder with candy on top of itāheās made himself your business, your partner; heās made himself irreplaceable, and he loves to remind everybody of that fact.Ā
heās also extremely loyal. sure, he could day a weekās worth of work done in about a day, but that doesnāt mean heāll just use his talents for anybody. heās your secretary, so heās at your beck and call, and everyone knows it. they know heās the best, but also that heās off limitsānot because you wonāt share him, but because satoru wonāt let himself be shared.Ā
he also extends his duties beyond work, of course. when he hands you a print out of your schedule for the day and youāre confused by the three-hour block of time you have in the middle of the day, satoru just helps you shrug your coat of your shoulders and smiles, āthatās for the lunch date you have with me, of course!ā hanging up your coat in your closet for you, āiām paying, see you soon, sweets.ā and because youāre great at your job, and satoru helps you be great, nobody really questions when the two of you have time for a 13-course tasting menu at 1pm on a tuesday afternoon. and if they did, all satoru would say that you two had a lovely dateĀ
#anonymous#he's like donna from suits but worse because he's like if harvey were donna LOL#i have soooooo much to say about him#he doesn't really Have to work he's a nepotism baby supreme#but he met you maybe in undergrad? and he's been obsessed w you since#he knows youre a workaholic so he's dutifully sat by your side all these years through college through grad/professional school#and when you told him you got to hire your own assistant he was the very first applicant#because getting paid to spend his days with you and take care of you? he was already doing that for free might as well make it official#everyone in the office knows satoru loves you except you honestly#he probably has his own masters/JD but elects to be your assistant anyway bc that's so much more fun#what he Really wants to be a househusband but first he's gotta ask you out and propose and all that good stuff (cue him rolling his eyes#and going on about formalities and boring systems and blah blah blah)#also in the office au in my head: nanami (also senior partner) higuruma ofc <3 beloved (managing partner) and TOJI!#WALK WITH ME!#its honestly probably satoru's influence that gets toji into law... as someone who so feverently broke it in the past#idk maybe there's a megumi situation that makes gojo be like yk if ur this good at skirting/breaking the law youd probably be half decent#at enforcing it... or at least helping other people get around it too#and so lawyer toji is born#does he screw around w the rich people who r stupid w their money? absolutely#but you nanami and higuruma just let it be bc he brings in those settlements better than anybody else....#hmmm... i kinda wanna make megumi somebody's associate but also..... yuuta.....#i think i just like sticking yuuta in a tie if im being real#but anyway... satoru is your Work Husband and everyone knows he wants to be your real husband#but they just let it slide bc rumour has it even tho hes just a secretary hes got equity in the firm?? and besides that his heart eyes give#away his hopeless devotion from a mile away#the day you actually start seeing somebody outside of work... oh theyre in for Trouble#satoru x reader#him dragging you out of ur office late at night and u protesting so he just. puts u over his shoulder#and ur telling him to let u down but he's insisting u go home and then nanami pops out of his office#and ur like wait nanami this isnt what it looks like but he's so dead in the eyes when he just sighs

Lee know becoming Guy Who Eats Boring Chicken Breast for The Protein ā¢ļø is my villain origin story
#joking obvs#but like... i miss foodie lee know i miss when he cooked#and i miss when he spoke about food enthusiastically#like i feel like the only time he mentions food now is to say he 'cheated' and is *insert mean thing about himself*#or to be like Im on a diet and its so -_-#like i always rhought it was cute how seungmin would pester the cuties dorm to eat with him like a family#but now im like oh he really was living with the 3 dudes who do the most worrying dieting behaviours like ...... :(#but also in a broader sense its frustrating bc how many young ppl are reading those messages and internalising negative messages too#or thinking oh if hes a fat pig then what am i? so its that thing where like#yeah i do have sympathy to a degree but i also think people with such a big platform should be more careful with what they say#š¬š®āšØ#negativity#bums me out i miss guy who went on that cooking shiw with the chef lady and was so cute and interested#and guy who took over when skz looked dangerous bc He Was The Food Man#yk... it was very lovely

If Chuuya doesn't meet Adam in Europe what even is the point of sending him there
#'to save Dazai-' no one cares abt that roach#I need Adam to come pick them up from the prison#I need Chuuya to jump into Adam's arms and Dazai to laugh and follow behind him#I need Adam to look at them fondly bcz these boys were once 16. he fought by their side when they were 16. look at them all grown up now#I also need shirase to make a cameo and not remember dazai at all#like he knows who he is yk he just can't remember the name#and dazai to be PISSED as hell#bcz how DARE shirase doesnāt remember his name when dazai spent months wishing torment and suffering upon him#I NEED SIGMA TO MEET ADAM#'you... look pretty normal' 'we androids are designed to perform in ways that would be considered normal by humans' 'what'#icb i went on a rant in the tags again#it's missing Adam hours tonight

i love the MTTRIO because they are all judgy hypocritical little shits living off of spite and appy juice
#utmv#mttrio#bad sanses#killer sans#horror sans#dust sans#also like#killer is the only one of them that actually would#kill for the hell of it#which i find funny and much more interesting then them all being trigger happy#horror is kinda just a guy man#his hands aināt clean and he def has his episodes but. heās unlikely to kill someone unless they piss him off tbh#and you know heās super judgmental of the other two for any violence theyāve committed#dust doesnāt enjoy violence#he does it out of a self perscribed obligation#he āhas toā#so if he has no reason to kill heās not gonna do it#in fact his creators depict him as someone who will rescue someone whoās going to be harmed without merit#remorseful murderer( and yk he judges killer too)#but he likes horror#but horror probably hates him#and killer couldnāt care less he hates them all and simultaneously loves them bcs they are fun#quotations around fun#killer also knows their opinions hold like little value#at least they are unpredictable and entertaining#they all suck#and i love them#and letās talk about all the ways they could learn to accept eachother ok#bcs thatās what i need in life#i hate them all

What a plot twist you were. [x]
#Like. The narrator introduces jc to us as the antagonist#Then we got to know him. Not who people think he's. But who he really is#And we saw jc giving wwx a piggyback. Giving him soup. Rescuing him. Putting himself between wwx and any danger (madam yu/wen soldiers)#And even the staged fight. It's yk. Staged#jc wanted to protect wwx at any cost. But wwx wasn't willing to compromise. But jc did#The fight was wwx's idea. Because jc is an enabler (just like jfm and jyl)#jc is ready to bend for his loved ones sake#The point is. Every action jc takes. Is in the name of his loves ones' safety. And surprise. wwx is one of the people jc really cares about#Even after wwx' return. Aside a broken cup. jc isn't doing much to stop wwx or anything. We know that jl was able to free wwx from Zidian#only because jc - Zidian's primary master- wanted it!#And jc fling himself into danger countless times to save wwx even though wwx can't sit still with him for a hot minute#What I wanted to say it's that the jc is presented to us - the mean ungrateful man- is very different from the real jc -#the indulgent uncle who rolls his eyes at his nephew antics. the brother who buries the hatchet for his sister's happiness.#the uncle who kinda wants to help wn to get up from the floor because he was an ass to jc but he helped jl and that's what matters to jc#the sect leader who let two women speak freely their mind in a patriarchy society#People better than me have already said this. shit I can't remember my point lmao#Like. jc is presented as an antagonist but what this man wanted was an apology and an explanation#This post is a mix of a rant I wrote last year (ha) after seeing a bad take. About what I don't remember lmaoo. And me wanting#to make gifs of wzc in this scene. Why does he look so good. It should be illegal. Seriously#jiang cheng#*mgifs

What if Oliverās lies are true but like his mom knows how to act sober well enough so Felix thinks Oliver is a liar and makes him leave after the party. Oliver decides that it isnāt worth it, he tried so hard for Felix, but in the end, it still and will never be enough. So Oliver goes back to Oxford and starts befriending people who are more like him, and they actually listen to what he says and invite him everywhere (Heās the best dressed there now because of his time with Felix). Maybe he figures out that if Felix didnāt have such a savior complex his past wouldnāt be hurting him still. So Oliver kinda like blocks him in everything? Also tried to change any classes they would have together. He didnāt need to see his mother after he moved out so in his mind Felix was the one who brought him back to such an unsafe place.
(He looks so good in this gif (((o(*ļ¾ā½ļ¾*)o)))ā”)
Anyways, I just want Oliver to be happy and know that life doesnāt end because a boy doesnāt like you. Either way, heās been through worse so a broken heart shouldnāt feel as bad, right? :(
Oh and like Felix could be having a crisis because he misses Oliver and figured out that if he just let him explain he would have realized that Oliver was saying the truth (lmao)
#cattonquick#also i love crazy characters but i also like making them kinda normal once in a while haha#Oliver is over it#he just wants to be loved#even if he doesnāt really know what that feels like#he got attached to Felix from the beginning because as the golden boy it would mean that he'd be a great friend right?#WRONG#he has a savior complex ( ; ;)#which makes him not mind his own business#anyways they have a happy ending somehow#or farleigh actually kinda likes this Oliver cuz he's like yk not trying to fit in with people who couldn't care less about him#anyways yeah#BAII#oh I forgot one#saltburn#haha

I can't imagine being anywhere near as insane as Trump supporters because my dad told me that he, earlier, drove past a guy putting a "Harris Walz 2024" sign outside his house and decided to yell out at him "TRUMP 2024 YOU COCKSUCKER" and flip him off. And he laughed when he told me because he thinks that yelling at a man (emphasized man because he thinks men should be "better" than women, and "better" would be voting for Trump in this case) who is voting for a "whore who slept her way to the top" (his exact words) is funny. And expected me to laugh with him. And got angry when I didn't and just stared at him in disbelief. Even though he already knows that I don't like Donald Trump. These people fully expect others to find their weird ass derogatory words and behavior FUNNY. Donald Trump is leading a cult of old people who he brainwashed into being delusional with him.
#vote blue#harris walz 2024#kamala harris#tim walz#i know some fucker is gonna be here saying like āit's true i was the treeā#i didn't see this with my own two eyes but i've lived 21 years with my dad and i HAVE seen him do shit like this#but it was mostly just honking at random people on the sidewalk or yelling āWHERE Y'GOINGā in their direction out the window#like it's still embarrassing and weird but not derogatory#and since being retired and having nothing to do all day except watch trump and more trump and more trump he has gotten worse#not a day has gone by in the last four months where he hasn't insulted joe biden or kamala harris#and every single time he has expected my brother and i to laugh at his insult even though he knows that we don't like trump#it's so depressing watching your own parent become a worse person#he was already one of the insufferable republicans before trump and now he's a trump republican which is even worse#and yk what's even worse it's that my mom has no spine against men so if her boyfriend asks for her to vote trump she'll be like āokayā#she's not a republican she just doesn't care because she thinks voting doesn't matter#my aunt who i have always loved so much now calls up my dad to talk about trump with him and i never heard her swear until this year#my other aunt makes talking about trump her entire personality when she has a gambling addiction she should be treating instead#my dad's side is a bunch of trump supporters and my mom's side just doesn't give a fuck#and i can't vote because i'll get kicked out of here faster than the speed of light the second my dad sees#the paper in the mail saying that my voter history has been updated#even if it's not public who i voted for because he knows that whoever i vote for will never be trump#sorry#tag vent#this sucks#please vote

Seungmin saying they changed song by so it would be easier for people to watch and listen and then me seeing people going "Yes! It's good it's on tiktok and shorts now" and I'm like. Oh. You're all so fucking stupid <3
#half the videos were 10 minutes long#and i say this as an ADHD HAVER MYSELF#if you cant watch something that inst filled with bright colours yelling and childish humour#or a fucking tiktok length#like. well I have nothing to say to you actually highly doubtful you'd even read this far tbh š#like we'll never get anything more earnest and serious from skz again if things keep going this way#like the fact these no attention span people keep being catered too is so........... No#same with the songs- I complained about the songs all being fucking 2 minutes 20 seconds#like we all know its b/c of ig reels tiktok and yt shorts we all know this but Fuck who cares lets just go along i guess#i don't think people should watch stuff they are not interested in. i really don't.#but the amount of comments i read on those videos that were just so Nothing#no thought at all#idk like maybe try to listen to what hes saying and formulate anything outside of 'Omg best vocal best visual how many international fans?!#yk what i mean?#you bothered to watch it how about using your brain a little#also makes his whole Im Trying To Get A Moment in all the codes lowkey like.... yeah you pretty much do have to do that huh#like. they cant have down days or quiet days. Just be on all the time and be acting and funny all the time b/c thats all anyone wants-#so cool#there's no room for earnestness. no room for being a little thoughtful and serious. nuh uh#hopefully he does go back to explaining his thoughts after the tour but tbh I dont have a lot of hope for that :)
