They/them, aquarius, 26. I like crochet, movies, music, and being outside. WV.
Looking for horror/thriller films to knit to. Storm of the Century exemplifies the vibe I’m going for, and I made a short list of others that might work, which I’ll add below. Does anyone have recs? Ample on-screen knitwear is not required, but the higher the knitting porn factor the better.

Pretty sure this will be the last time I clean the shower in this apartment

Having to move with 1.5 month notice is sucking in a lot of ways. But the fact that my landlord chose October to pull this shit just added insult to injury.

Kind of a bummer update, this landed my ass back in physical therapy. I’m back to running at shorter intervals. Idk if my body is really built for this (fibro and hypermobility), but nothing does it for me like running. It’s frustrating. I’m starting to reach a point where it might not be worth it.
I ran 1.5 miles without stopping yesterday!!! It took 17 minutes. My previous record was like half a mile.

Gonna post positive updates because I’m sick of bitching about the situation I’m in lmao. First and foremost, I am engaged. My fiance is wonderful (iykyk), and I am excited and at peace with this.

Man things could be wayyyyyy worse, but they have officially gotten stressful enough for me to start scrolling again. Anyway, hi

Been running into this issue lately where I check out a metal band and LOVE the instrumentals, but the vocals completely ruin the music for me

I'm going to haul this one out again, about why it's not a great idea to idolize creative people, or indeed anyone, and certainly not me, because today really is the day to be reminded about that, isn't it:

Yesterday, I wove in and blocked a hat. I also started a blanket. While knitting the blanket, I was pleasantly surprised by how fast it was working up, and I came to a realization: for the blanket, I casted on 147 stitches, and the hat had 144. A lot of things made sense after that

A lot of people are complaining about their roads not being cleared (the storm isn’t even over ffs), and I am really curious who some of these people voted for

I am stuck in this snow lmao, my car isn’t going anywhere. At least I’m outside my house and haven’t moved from my parking spot

🧶 PSA to the knitting community: Someone designed a hat that says Delay, Deny, Depose. Also, the pattern is free.

This slouchy beanie features the words Delay - Deny - Depose around the lower edge. Above this border, skulls bloom from leafy stalks.

This morning, my contacts are not in their case. They are also not in my eyeballs. They are not in the trash can, from what I can see; it’s been less than two weeks since I opened them, so they shouldn’t be, anyway. I vividly remember taking them out and rinsing them last night.

This is cutting it close because I kept forgetting, but I wanted to share my top ten albums from 2024:

2. Cruza - Cruzafied
3. Doechii - Alligator Bites Never Heal
4. Clairo - Charm
5. Rite of Decay - Instrumentalities of Flesh
6. Khruangbin - A LA SALA

My current project: toddler mittens with dragons. The wings will be embroidered after the knitting is finished. 🧶

Finished and blocked! I’m so happy with how this turned out 🧶

Honestly this might be one of my favorite things I’ve ever made. It was my first stranded knitting project. The technique is less intimidating now, and I’m excited to try more
