hello! 🫡 If Jere were to get angry at Bojan, and not like "wash your clothes" angry but really upset with him, what do you think would be the reason?

(I'm in my angsty bojere feels tonight, looking for reasons to suffer some more)

Anon, I saw your second ask and don't worry! If I don't want to answer something I won't 💕 Angsty thoughts welcome, sometimes you just need an outlet 🫂

Jere can handle when Bojan gets snappy, they sometimes both do, but it's usually because they're tired and frustrated and nothing major really comes of it. Luckily they're not usually in a mood at the same time.

So it's not anything Bojan does to Jere, it's not when he's a slob around the house or when he forgets something important or doesn't treat him right for just a second - those are easy.

What really gets Jere going is when Bojan doesn't treat himself right. He's getting better at taking care of himself, but sometimes he slips - slips into the darkness a little too far.

So that one time when he's sleep deprived, anxious, coming down with something but afraid to stop, missing Jere like crazy, upset about sales and numbers and a stubborn song and the future and has a clash with bandmates and goes to party with other friends and drinks too much and takes something someone offers him, because what the hell, it's just this once, and ends up in a hospital for a stomach lavage plus in a tabloid, that's when Jere gets mad.

He knows he shouldn't, Bojan is remourseful and upset enough as it is, but Jere can't help it. He's far away, he can't help, he's so fucking pissed off, and he knows he shouldn't take it out on Bojan, that really doesn't help at all. But that's when they have their biggest fight. Jere says some harsh words that really cut deep, and Bojan is vulnerable and really doesn't need this right now, so he lashes out as well. It almost tears them apart.

Which is stupid, they both realise, when Bojan is better and Jere has cooled off, Jere is just worried and frustrated because he's not able to help, and it kills him to see Bojan like that, and Bojan knows this.

So they make up and talk and apologise and set up some new system for what to do when someone gets in a downward spiral, how to lean on each other at the right moment.

Because they're Jere and Bojan, and they're making it, no matter what, SO THERE.

Um, anyway. What was the question?

So this blocking thing! It's good for more than just nuisances. I haven't knit a lot of garments yet with fiber that responds to blocking, and what I have has been like...socks where it seems unnecessary because the whole thing will be in tension while worn. But also I just don't have large pinnable surfaces, as one typically needs when the point is to soak a piece of fabric and then stretch it out to pose in the shape you want it to be until next soaking. What do I have? The ability to stack waterproof objects on a small patch of flat counter space. And thank goodness because that definitely saved this hat.

Anyway! I am happy to have used my extremely inconsistent first skeins of support-spindled yarn (see the post with them all laid out here) for a project I'll probably actually use once it's chilly again. It is comfortable, even if I'm a bit disappointed in the colorwork legibility. This is how the chart looks:

But I didn't quite manage matching gauge yarns, I'm low on practice/experience keeping tension for stranded colorwork, and probably just aiming for too loose a fabric anyway (should've found a path to increasing stitches and using smaller needles on that section) so it's very blobby.

I do have some of that green and "matching" oyster skein left, as well as a little of the finest oyster yarn I used for the ribbing. So if I use them together again, I'll probably hold the two oyster threads as one. Speaking of, I had way too much of the underplied lace yarn and wasn't happy with my first run at an even more open lace panel, so ended up frogging that back and making these sections with the lace yarn held double. Worth it! Much happier with this result. And I can see why underplied yarn has been said to do lace well; was cool how open it already was before blocking.

Image descriptions below:

[ID: Four photos of a slouchy, off-white beanie with some green colorwork being knit, blocked, and worn. The hat is constructed with a solid top of thicker yarn, strip of lace, a strip of green colorwork (meant to be jumping frogs), a matching strip of lace, and finally a long section of ribbing, broken into four strips by inverting the knits and purls.

In the first photo, with a blurred background, the beanie is still in process with a green string holding the live stitches while it's tried on, partway through the first section of ribbed brim; it fits like a misshapen mushroom, the top lace panel collapsing over the relatively tight colorwork, all under the lumpy increases of the densely knit crown.

The second photo also has a blurred background but shows the hat being blocked, gently stretched over a tower of stacked containers, widest at the top around the curved base of an upside down plastic coffee canister from crown to colorwork, the gradual taper of a hair bleach tub easing the lower lace panel into the ribbing before the very end hangs free around a peanut butter jar pedestal.

The third and fourth photos show the finished hat from the side and front, being worn by a pale-skinned brunette woman with a braid and orange t-shirt in front of painted wood paneling on an overcast day. The hat is slouched but not bulbous, blocking having stretched the colorwork horizontally and the lace vertically; a twice-rolled brim covers the lower lace panel but leaves the still not very legible frog colorwork visible. End ID]

[ID: Chart of green on white colorwork made in the Google Sheets spreadsheet software; a section in the middle is selected, though there are repeated motifs on either side. Every cell with an X in it is colored green and makes slightly horizontally stretched pixel art of a frog hopping from the right to the left; the rightmost frog is crouched under a flower or star made of four dots, to its left is a frog pushing off the ground and to its left a frog leaping horizontally through the air. The repeat is 39 stitches wide, 10 rows tall. End ID]

it just baffles me that I'm like the only one I see online with actual problems and I'll tell you what it is with this cookbook.

The people making CONTENT on the books (Julien...that themed cookbook guy) they're having fun bc

1) its a cute book ...as a BOOK

2)people are beholden to stardew valley bc they love the game. I love the game. And the recipes aren't bad per say. They seem fine. I'm going to the store in a bit to maybe buy some stuff for the veggie plates like autumn bounty.

But this isn't my first time at the stupid cook book rodeo. And I've had ACTUAL cookbooks before. I gave a bunch of them away when I moved down here bc I didn't need "how to cook japanese food" when Just One Cookbook exists online lmao

I used to have that thick tome but was also somehow super small of the betty crocker cookbook. And I use blue apron on and off whenever I have the extra cash. So I'm PRETTY FAMILIAR with cookbooks or reading recipe cards and its just....

The book has NO pictures of the food being ACTUALLY cooked. Its either before pages or after pages of like "Here's the rhubarb pie!" like that's cool. You wanna show me HOW I should be cutting the rhubarb? or what the crust looks like?? Or....ANYTHING AT ALL.

They use up valuable space in the book with spot illustrations and yeah there are a LOT of recipes but a lot of these recipes don't need a giant Junimo with a chef hat when the paragraph next to it has like 12 steps per paragraph and NO photo about the cooking process

and thats the main problem and Julien and that other youtuber BOTH said the same thing. There's TOO MUCH TEXT. And thats not inherently bad in a cookbook. But nothing is Bulleted or Numbered. And without photos its really easy to lose your spot.

Compared to both the smap cook book and sanji cookbook the steps are SHORT and precise and not overwhelming.

I even have the max fundrive cookbook and that has very few pictures but bc of the page limit and size of the book and the INTENT of the book (Its intended to be like..your mom or your bud is telling you how to cook something they know from memory). The steps are STILL bulleted(kinda) out even when parts are kind of long. But again bc THAT book is so small you're looking at maybe...three or four steps for NOT complex recipes. The McElroys have spaghetti as their recipe. Thats the kind of recipes you're looking at. Its very beginner friendly so it doesn't NEED a ton of photos.

Where the Stardew Valley cookbook has a lot of fish dishes, desserts (DESSERTS ESPECIALLY~!!!! NEED BULLETED STEPS!!!!), and vegetarian versions of non vegetarian foods (The Survival Burger...which has beans. Yuck)

So my main take away for a cookbook. Is if I, as an average cook, who lives alone, and has very little patience or attention span (thank you adhd).....if I look at your book and go....

I'll just go buy something.

ITS NOT A GOOD COOKBOOK.

Again i think the recipes are FINE as a whole. They're just.....terrible to read or even use practically. And I think that is mostly at fault of the design of the book itself.

Also the number one complaint for the PHOTOS is that the photo of the fucking pizza ISN'T.

COOKED.

The Pineapple Curry is a photo of an empty pineapple, curry powder, and some peppers.

NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT.

The Salmon Dinner is just salmon filets lmao

There's also a few pages in between that are just pictures of ingredients like you'd see on an Applebee's wall. Like??????

Can you just tell me that the big financial spending I just did was ok? It's a health program that I know will be good for me overall, but dropping a lot of money is scary.

My sweet summer child... it's going to be just fine. "Health is wealth," as they say, and you could do far worse things with your money than invest in your health.

No forgiveness is needed. We hereby forbid you from feeling bad.

We know it can be scary to spend a big chunk of money all at once. So we have a little bit of advice for absolving yourself of this guilt:
