Be prepared for a lot of random thoughts
Y’all, I am 8 rows from the end of a cowl I’ve been working on for 2 months and I’m out of my main color 😭😭 my gauge must is too loose and now I need to frog a significant amount of it to fix it. I’m genuinely so upset and disappointed. I want to shove it in a corner but then I’ll never finish. 🧶

This is the vibe tonight 😍

It’s finally time to build this 😍😍💀😍😍

Rapture update: I’m still here, and apparently that means I’m still “expected to go to work” 🙄🙄😭

Hopefully traffic is lighter

Y’all I’m so excited for this!!! I have been waiting so long! 😍

Y’all, all I want is to knit some fall/spooky season socks. I just need to find the right yarn! Weirdly I feel like there’s not a ton of dyers with fall colors yet. I may need to broaden my horizons and find new yarn dyers

Gotta love the capitalistic enshitification of every product that’s ever existed in the name of eternal profit growth. 🙃

Forgot to post, but I finished my first socks about a month ago!! I’m literally in love with them and so excited that they are done! I’ve moved on to a mosaic knitting project and am already missing the mindlessness of the socks. 🧶🧦

Y’all I am so burned out, and I have no idea how I am supposed to recover and improve my mental health with all of *gestures around broadly* this going on 😭

Hey, y’all! Looking for good recommendations for yarns to to use for afghans! I’ve used Red Heart Super Saver in the past but don’t love how scratchy it feels. Any recommendations are welcome! 🧶

Y’all I just learned that Utah Yarn Crawl starts next week and I couldn’t be more excited. 😍

Update on the 9” circulars, I am slowly getting more used to them. Still fussing with how I hold my hands trying to stop the cramping. The workflow however is 😍. I love that I can just go round and round without having to readjust my needles every 30ish stitches like I do on magic loop. 🧶

Finished my test swatch for the @sweetpaprikadesigns.com skill builder box that I just got! I’m pretty sure my gauge is going to be off so now I’m debating if I have enough yarn to do another swatch. 🧶

Y’all, Irene out of drag is 🥵

Trying to knit a sock ATM on 9” circulars and I have very mixed feelings. I love that I don’t have to interrupt my flow to switch needles, but damn do my hands hurt ☠️ 🧶

It’s finally getting warm enough to read and knit on the deck and it’s currently giving me life ngl.

Y’all, there was no world in my head where Suzie Toot wasn’t in the finale. I genuinely can’t process it. But at the same time I’m so happy that Lexi is going to the finale! So many mixed emotions

Starting this one today and I’m very excited! 💙📚

I’m at a conference this weekend and there’s no one else I know here. Which makes it way less fun. I need someone to hang out with and go get drinks!

Sunday morning read! 💙📚

How can it already be Sunday night? I haven’t live, laugh, loved enough to have to go back to work in the morning 😭

Sock knitting question for those more experienced than me:

Is it a bad idea to change needles when I switch to the second sock? I’ve been doing magic loop so far on this sock but the constant moving the loop/resetting is driving me nuts. I’m considering trying some 9” circulars on the next sock. 🧶

I’ve slept on it and I still feel the same:

Why the hell was Crystal sent home over Lana?! I’m so annoyed! Also what was that lip sync? Ugh

Y’all today is rough, the last month has been rough, I just feel like I’m slowly descending further and further into my depression and anxiety. I feel like I’m rapidly losing any power I had to even control my own life. I want to thrive but atm I’m not even sure how to survive.

Also say hello to my new knitting bud Cleo! She’s only been here for a couple of weeks but I’m already pretty fucking attached.
