Yโ€™all, I am 8 rows from the end of a cowl Iโ€™ve been working on for 2 months and Iโ€™m out of my main color ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ my gauge must is too loose and now I need to frog a significant amount of it to fix it. Iโ€™m genuinely so upset and disappointed. I want to shove it in a corner but then Iโ€™ll never finish. ๐Ÿงถ

Rapture update: Iโ€™m still here, and apparently that means Iโ€™m still โ€œexpected to go to workโ€ ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜ญ

Hopefully traffic is lighter

Yโ€™all Iโ€™m so excited for this!!! I have been waiting so long! ๐Ÿ˜

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

I feel the exact same way. Iโ€™m ready to get off this ridiculous ride, but there seems to be no end in sight.

Absolutely! Itโ€™s so hard to actually โ€œownโ€ anything anymore. And even if you can โ€œbuyโ€ digital goods, most services now have some wording nested in the EULA stating that they can revoke your access at any point. Itโ€™s so crazy

100%! Itโ€™s honestly so gross, and itโ€™s heartbreaking to watch things you once loved slowly get worse and worse.

Gotta love the capitalistic enshitification of every product thatโ€™s ever existed in the name of eternal profit growth. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Multicolored hand knit striped socks being worn looking down on them from above

Forgot to post, but I finished my first socks about a month ago!! Iโ€™m literally in love with them and so excited that they are done! Iโ€™ve moved on to a mosaic knitting project and am already missing the mindlessness of the socks. ๐Ÿงถ๐Ÿงฆ

Yโ€™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 ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Thanks for the additional recs! The pattern calls for DK so Iโ€™ll look at these since pound of love only comes in worsted.

Thanks for the recs! Iโ€™ll have to go feel some new skeins and look at the others as well!

Ooh Iโ€™ll take a look at those!

Well you make it sound easy enough! Though my counting is always questionable ๐Ÿ˜‚. Thanks for the video! Iโ€™ll give it a watch.

Thatโ€™s the second recommendation Iโ€™ve gotten for pound of love! That may be the route I go!

Probably a soft acrylic, cotton, or a mix of the two? Something that will hold up and look nice

Awesome! Iโ€™m totally fine with acrylic as long as itโ€™s soft! Now to find somewhere nearby that has some that I can feel. All my LYSs carry really nice wools but not many acrylics.

Oh I might have to give this a try! Those skeins are humongous! Iโ€™m low key super nervous to try mosaic because Iโ€™ve never done it before and so now Iโ€™m wondering if I need to do some small project first so I donโ€™t mess up the blanket. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜ ๏ธ

The Craft Mosaic Afghan pattern by Abi McIntyre There used to be a quaint wee shop called โ€˜The Green Witchโ€™ in the town of Aberdour, Scotland.

For those wondering I think Iโ€™m going to do this pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Iโ€™m so excited. This will be my first mosaic crochet pattern as well so Iโ€™ve got some test granny squares to do.

Hey, yโ€™all! Looking for good recommendations for yarns to to use for afghans! Iโ€™ve used Red Heart Super Saver in the past but donโ€™t love how scratchy it feels. Any recommendations are welcome! ๐Ÿงถ

Yโ€™all I just learned that Utah Yarn Crawl starts next week and I couldnโ€™t be more excited. ๐Ÿ˜

Yes! My hands are large as well so thatโ€™s been the hardest issue is my ring and pinky fingers just dangling around with nowhere to go ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Update on the 9โ€ 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 ๐Ÿ˜. 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. ๐Ÿงถ

Finished my test swatch for the @sweetpaprikadesigns.com skill builder box that I just got! Iโ€™m pretty sure my gauge is going to be off so now Iโ€™m debating if I have enough yarn to do another swatch. ๐Ÿงถ
