Yarn for Christmas?

An open PSA to anyone with crafting friends (and isn't really sure what they like):

DON'T BUY THEM YARN

Part of the hobby is the purchasing yarn, which some might argue buying yarn and using yarn are two different hobbies. "But OP," you might argue, "I just know they'll love the Red Heart Super Saver I got on sale at Joann's! One skein should be plenty, and they can make me a sweater!"

This is one of those rare cases where a gift card to their favorite yarn store is more personal. First off, nothing against Red Heart, but if they're a yarn snob, it's going to collect dust. If they're a project-oriented purchaser, it's going to collect dust. If they like to buy yarn, then it's just mean.

Also, NEVER imply that your crafting friend should make something for you. If they love you, they will. If they don't, then you're not close enough to be making expensive demands.

#gift cards #cash #support your local yarn store #knitting #christmas #gift ideas #fiber arts #crafting #fiber crafts #crochet #if you insist upon yarn #then go for something obnoxiously expensive that they could never justify purchasing themselves #like mohair #wool #alpaca #quiviut #and buy like 600 yards of it

sometimes spite is a powerful motivator and today its motivating me to crochet

long story short I saw a cool bag on pinterest while I was looking for crochet patterns but there was no fucking pattern but one of my friends found a pattern for a similar but not quite bag so I watched an hour long video, transcribed it into text, and am now gonna make a wholeass backpack just because Sunflower Vibe

Wish me luck I guess

Also this is the bag

#anis crochet journey #ani rambles #out of queue #do i have enough green yarn for this? no idea #if i need more I'll go buy more it'll be a nice excuse to get myself a cute planner for garden planning anyways #'ani dont you carry a purse around everywhere what would you carry in this extra bag' idk yet but its CUTE I will FIND A REASON #also if anyone asks yes I'm willing to share the transcription if someone wants it #like literally if someone reblogs or replies to this post 'plz transcription' i will post a link to the google doc in an INSTANT #i spent like 2 hours on that transcription I want it to be APPRECIATED (by more than just me)

Top tier feeling is being so far down the arts and crafts rabbit hole that normal buying stuff doesn't even occur to you. "Wow I wish I had a crop top" okay. I have a pair of scissors, the ability to hem and a dream. That's basically equivalent "Oh no I need headphone covers" Bet. Came up with my own pattern for them "The tops of my OTHER headphones are peeling off :/" I have scrap fabric. Amazon can't touch me "I wish my jars were aesthetic and spooky" The stupid plastic halloween decorations at target aren't even going to compare to what I'm about to make with some black and gold paint, clay, and a pasta jar. And I'll have more fun doing it too

Another bonus to learning a fiber art is being able to speak to others in a Lovecraftian language that nobody else understands...

...and also being able to read things like THIS:

#art #crochet #fiber art #described images #image description in alt #used a crochet pattern for this because it's just INSANE #see i can recognize some of these stitch markings but i haven't done them all yet #i actually kind of prefer the diagram pattern because it actually shows you the shape and the way stitches compliment the piece #with a 'normal' pattern (e.g. 1 dc in fifth ch from hook ch 2 4 dc) i understand it sure but. it isn't the same.#i was reading somebodys recommendations for tapestry yarn and understood all the abbreviations and what they mean #plus i feel like diagrams can be a great way to teach you not only how stitches look but how they contribute to the larger piece #one of my crochet proficiency goals is to be able to look at a piece and know instantly what made it #*cue me at the store analyzing a crochet piece so i can replicate it for 5× the cost*#if you're selling a crocheted piece for like $20 then it's my imperative to replicate it and not buy it 🫡#i think that has the same moral implication as like... 'proplifting'#did crochet as the example because thats what i do as a fiber art. if theres a similar thing for knit/weave/ect then DROP IT BELOW I BEG YO #i want to learn all the lovecraftian languages of the fiber artists <3 #i feel like describing the image in exactly what stitch marking indicates what would have been too much so hopefully the explanation as to..#...what the diagram DOES and how it visually indicates a pattern was helpful <3

*pinches bridge of nose and sighs*

Apparently my teen’s best friend bought them both concert tickets, and as my teen does not have a job I am suddenly on the hook to repay this kid $180.

Would anybody care to buy a shawl?

Cat not included, though there is indubitably some stray cat hair somewhere in the piece.

Pretty sure the yarn is a wool/silk combo. I’ll check on that and edit the post when I’m sure.

If you can’t buy, I appreciate reblogs for eyeballs!

~~~

Edit to confirm: it is 50% merino wool, 50% silk, Jaggerspun Zephyr yarn in Plum

doing crafty things (knitting, crochet, sewing, etc) is so awesome actually because the other day i was at a craft fair with my friend and this one stall was selling a sweatshirt with granny squares and i casually pointed it out to my friend and the woman running the shop was so excited that i (a young person) even knew what that was and i don’t know where i was going with this but i think it’s really cool when i get to connect with people i don’t know and will never see again over little things like granny squares or sweaters or just the act of creating things to create

#unfortunately i didn’t buy the sweatshirt because it was way out of my ten dollar price range but like it was cool #knitting #crochet #fiber art #po posts

people often wonder why I don't sell my knit beanies (except to one very lucky friend) and here's why:

I use 2 balls of 100% merino wool (€13).

it takes me about 12 hours to knit a beanie. even if I were to ask the minimum wage of €13,68 an hour, that would tally up to €164,16.

this alone would be a total of €177,16 ($196) - delivery costs and profit margin not included.

would you pay $200 for a hand knit beanie? 💸

#knitting #i would love to sell them #but i'd have to lower the price so much #people don't realise how much time actually goes into knitting/crocheting #my mom said she didn't either until she saw how much time it takes me to make something - and i'm a fast crocheter (+ interm. knitter)#and how truly special it is to be gifted something handmade because it's so much cheaper and less time consuming to buy something #it's called slow fashion for a reason
