Everything I knit in October

Time flies, and honestly, I am shocked that it is November already. Was October a busy month of knitting? It actually was. I was mainly focussed on knitting socks, because, well, Socktober. I now need to make my sock donations for Socktober. My work from this month. What does November bring? Well, I have a series of fruit mice that no one asked for, but have become a habit to knit. I am in the…

honestly yeah, fiber arts is magic. you cast spell of warm gloves, spell of nice hat, spell of stuffed animal.

material component: yarn

wand: single hooked wand or double pointed wands, depending on caster's preference

mechanical component: specific motions repeated in a particular pattern

time component: a while

look seriously the first step in a knitting recipe is "cast on", and then it's a bunch of letters and numbers incomprehensible to anyone not versed in the arcane art. that's a spellbook. yes it's a book of knitting patterns but also. it's a spell book.

Quilter's Dilemma

A phenomenon I made up where you have a talent that takes so much time to produce something, that you can't sell it anymore. There's a market for handmade quilts, obviously, they're beautiful and warm and wonderful, but no one would be willing to pay the amount of money that is required to properly compensate the artist.

I don't quilt, but the raw materials to make a couple of pairs of mittens is $70 for some nice wool. But the hours required to make them is roughly two seasons of Criminal Minds, and some Doctor Who episodes with my family. Those are 45 minute episodes. Minimum wage in my state is around $11.

No one is willing to pay several hundred dollars for a couple of pairs of mittens, no matter how warm and detailed they are. Especially if I'm not a master knitter, which I'm not, and they're bound to have mistakes in them.

So we loop back around to giving them as gifts, and instead ask nothing in return.

If someone gives you something they handmade this Christmas, cherish it.

So we all know about Solas taking Lavellan straight to thigh ride town when he first kisses her back (yeah, yeah his time knife, we've all seen it)

But did we also know that Lavellan fully has him by the collar, leg lifted, and is pulling him down herself? She probably would have gotten even further if he hadn't pulled back so quickly...

It's even funnier when you can see his hands that they didn't animate, so he looks fully taken by surprise and like he doesn't know what to do with himself.

Everything I knit in August

Honestly, August was a rush and a half. The weekends filled with One Act Play competitions and knitting at “Knit August Nights” and the days were filled with work and paperwork and all sorts of things. It was an insanely busy time. Incomplete knits of August 2023 However, I did manage to work on a few things. August was spent with a lot of my fingers in the pie of Ribblr – seeing if this is a…

All* of the sweaters i made in 2024!!!

Chunky crochet sweater following the (free!) youtube tutorial by crochemily. this one is super warm and cozy and i'm definately going to make more sweaters in this style for my friends!

Rory Gilmore sweater following the (also free!) youtube tutorial by ikoxun. fun fact: after completing this sweater and blocking it, i had to take all the panels apart and shorten them because the yarn i used stretched out SO much with blocking that all the sudden it was 10 inches too long

Tarot card sweater by starcrossedknits! I'm sooo glad I chose the yarn that i did for this because it is so dreamy soft and I'm in love with the final result (minus the ends I have yet to weave in)

on a slightly more serious note, 2024 was kind of a sucky year for me and my family, and i don't think i could have made it through nearly as okay as i did without this silly, lovely little hobby i randomly decided to pick up in march. i've never met a hobby that made me as uncomplicatedly happy as knitting and crochet do :')

Bro, I remember when I was doing Timothy's route and I'd occasionally (and purposely bc I love them both) do parts of Timmy's route and I got to the part where he "hunts" a ball of red yarn-- as someone who casually knits as a hobby, I'd probably be legit devastated if he tore all my progress to shreds ngl.

Like, I also imagine you'd have to start hiding your knitting bag and working on it elsewhere (the attic, maybe, and make sure Dorian doesn't open up until you come back down after finishing enough) just in case Timmy's the one afoot and he goes on the prowl for Master's pretty yarn
