I'm in the middle of a knitting project right fucking now, and I'm already looking at other projects to do. I'm not even close to finishing the current project and I'm looking at like three others. It's a real problem

#so the thing is i really like to knit as gifts (the project im on right now is a christmas gift for my sibling)#so i like to think of knitting projects i could do as gifts for upcoming holidays and such #but also i like cool things #so im looking at this bat cape for myself #i dont even have an occasion to wear a cape. and even crazier-#im trying to figure out how to make my own patterns. so i can knit a tapestry/blanket thing. of a fictional map from a ttrpg #im playing a ttrpg rn and i have become obsessed #and im painting the map onto a clipboard (it takes place at a summer camp and summer camp map on a clipboard makes sense)#but apparently thats not enough for me. because i want it as a full tapestry or blanket #but because it was created in my girlfriend's head (shes the gm) it doesnt exist as a pattern online #so i have to figure out how to make it come to life #thats way beyond my skillset. ive been knitting since 2019 and i only figured out the purl stitch in the last like year #i recently learned double knitting which has been fun. and thats as complex as my knitting knowledge gets #i knitted a nice shawl once. that and the double knitting is where it ends for me #so of course im trying to figure out colorwork for a map #idek where to start with that one. if you know then please lmk #it has like three colors and thats one more color than im used to #i lied maybe four. maybe five. okay so theres green for land. blue for the lake. black for buildings and roads #then like beige or gray for a bit of cliffs. and there's also a shipwreck that i would have to figure out #if that helps you help me then please let me know cuz i really want to do this project #im super passionate about this game and the campaign and i love knitting. i would love to do something with it related to knitting #there are two really good artists in the party that share their amazing art #one of them made a much better map than my painted one that i havent finished. so i think it would be so funny to swing in with a #knitted tapestry or something. and because its a colorwork blanket it will be years down the road. but there are such nice drawings #and then me coming in with a knitted map. thatd be so fun #anyway i went on a ramble in here. i should go work on the current knitting project i have
