as I figured, the tire isn't flat flat. even the Gecko agent looked at it and was like "you can definitely get that to a gas station to fill it, i've seen worse" so i'll do that til i can take it in to get it replaced.

yes it's the Oxford #14 fine needle, i like it a lot! feels nice in my hand which is important since i have rheumatoid. if i had one "complaint" it's that my nails are long so it feels a tad awkward at times depending on where i hold it but that's on me of course haha

there's some holidays and crowding because i kept forgetting to do the "brick" laying method and my spacing was off sometimes so i'd overcompensate.

anyway i love it but i def need to practice before doing another big project. i flew a lil too close to the sun. had fun and learned a lot tho!

also i put the pattern on backwards and realized it too late so that's why some of it is the "wrong"/stitch side so i had to make it look like it was on purpose lmao.

also doing certain precise things like the outline and filling in of the plus and the equal signs is annoying.

i have some ideas for combining this with crochet that i'm excited to try. gonna experiment a bit.

and these shits sound like candy to me but i think i just want candy lmao

i have yet to use these clunky ass things. the first one is a 16mm, the second is 20mm, and the third is 11.5mm. i don't think i've ever used above a 10mm

i saw a scarf that had a cat pattern on it i wanna try. i saw a cool one that was just the sandworm from Beetlejuice that i wanna have so bad but realistically where would i put that, what would i do with it 😭
