I haven’t, but that’s so interesting to know! I feel like working with the author, or collaborating with others who understand both versions, would be so helpful. Translation (especially for fiction) seems like such a big undertaking!

Yes!! This I will spend… way too much time doing lol

Hahaha supposedly! I re-learned how to knit this year and a lot of “how to begin” content suggested pre-reading, highlighting, and taking notes.

+ I can’t visualize well!

I know if I follow the pattern, I’ll have the right amount of stitches, but if I try to think about joining in the round or picking up for sleeves while I’m casting on the back, I get confused and overwhelmed 😅 It’s a very trust-the-process situation.

It hasn’t happened yet but that doesn’t mean it won’t! I was a little hyperbolic—I do skim through the sections I’m working on.

People talk about highlighting patterns/looking up new skills before starting, and THAT is way too much info for me to hold at once. I learn by doing it when I get to it 😅

lol I did this with knitting and just bought a sewing machine 😂 I’m telling myself it’ll pay itself off but it’s too soon to tell

Ugh I’m not usually tempted by special editions but these are so good!!

It’s SO cozy and heartwarming and fun! I hope you love it if you pick it up!

I really enjoyed Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea!

This is beautiful!

Ooh this is such a cool resource! There’s not one super close to me but I may need to take a day trip to bloomington soon!

I make (and keep and reuse) a decent amount of our holiday decor! There’s still some consumption of supplies, but the crafting process is really grounding and makes me appreciate what I have.

I took my seedling scarf on a trip recently! I really like the pattern, it switches every few rows. It’s a good project to have going in between more complex patterns, too!

Truly the best combo!! Or podcasts :)

It was Becky Chambers for me! I still have a few of hers to read but her writing is so warm and immersive!
