#knitting and crochet pattern

[hubbabubbie]

I never posted my market bag pattern? Huh. The crochet bottom makes it extra sturdy, and you can tuck things into the handle like chapstick or rolled up cash 👍🏻

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.

The National Park Service has released crochet/knit patterns! The triops is my favorite.

Here's their Ravelry:

But wait there's more if Ravelry isn't your thing:

Listen I am not going to name anyone specifically, but pattern makers need to talk to one (1) fat person before they can post their patterns online.

I am so sick of finding a cute pattern, getting all the supplies, checking my gage, and starting to knit, only to find that my sleeves are a foot longer than a normal human because the pattern maker just multiplied all their numbers by 10 when they sized it up. I can't believe I have to say this but, just because my ass is fat does not mean my arms go down to my knees???

SWIRLY WONKY VEST

My first knitting project and I think it even came out looking wearable!!!

The knitting pattern I was following loosely

It's kinda funny when someone sees me unravel a fiber project either partially or completely, and gets distressed on my behalf and I have to go "No no no, it's part of the process! You gotta trust the process."

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:

Knitting.

This is a public service announcement.

Well, this is sort of a public service announcement. It's an announcement serving the great and the good of the #knitting public, to be precise. If this public includes your fine self, then boy, have we got news for you. 

Knitting is trending. Knitting is up there, in fact. So we are putting the usual on the backburner for today: no Pedro Pascal, no farmcore, no Riverdale, no Dimension 20, no David Tennant, no The Sims 4, and no dark f*cking academia. This one is all about you: you good folk with your yarn in one hand and needles in the other. For today is your day, your moment in the sun.

However you chose to celebrate is very much at your discretion, but we would hope you do so by doing what you do best, and, say, knit the pink trending icon or something. If you are a knitter not yet in Tumblr's vast community of cuddly autumnal creators, or if you simply appreciate this wonderful craft, welcome. Make yourself at home.

i love the language of knitting and crochet i love being able to examine an item and see every step it took to make it i love items that tell you their pattern without any words

Knitting a freehand bag and started wondering how often people even use patterns, anyway. So--how often do you use a pattern when you make things ? This include knitting/crochet/sewing/weaving/nalbinding/bobbin lace/tatting/etc but also things like woodworking, cooking, and baking. If you want to just pick the thing you do most often that's fine.

I personally do not use patterns as I find them far more confusing than just figuring out the construction of an item and simply making it. I do very occasionally browse ravelry for inspiration but have downloaded maybe 2. In the 5 or so years since I joined. And have followed exactly 1, which I modified every single aspect of. In my defense, dyslexia.
