the worst part of any creative project is when someone else sees what you're doing and goes "hey, i know a better way to do that, using this tool that will make it easier for you!" and they're so excited to help, and they take a bunch of time to show you the tool and how to use it to make things easier, and you sit there and nod and smile and try it out for yourself. and wait for them to go away and get distracted so that you can go back to doing it the original way because the tool did not make things easier and maybe is even more difficult due to not having a feature of whatever original tool you were using that helped with your personal process. and you don't wanna hurt their feelings about not using whatever method they spent all that time out of their day showing you
#many many many many many many many many such cases#i now have some weird new program downloaded on my computer that seems completely unneccesary for anything i do#i have a System for doing things. and that involves filling in individual squares in an excel sheet#there's a post that used to go around about someone's grandma drafting knitting patterns in excel#idk about knitting but it works pretty well for beadwork and so far seems alright for filet crochet#the pixel art program ironically does not give me enough control over individual pixels. AND its hard to read anything#and using the typing bit of paint.net doesn't let me edit the text multiple times. click away and click back over and over#i have to delete the text and start over#and also find a nice font and etc etc annoying shit#also neither of them lets me see the grid marks. which is important for counting stitches/beads/etc#easier to use alphabet systems people have come up with SPECIFICALLY for cross stitch/filet crochet/beadwork#and tweak the spacing manually by adding columns to my excel sheet#(its actually a libre office calc sheet. but whatever)
