Ok this is petty AF but people kept recommending the new game "Dressmaker" 🙄 to me because I sew for real. Idk why but it annoys the heck out of me and I won't be playing the game 😒. Something is so cathaetuc about enduring the real life struggles of cutting out the wrong pattern pieces, your machine getting busted out of nowhere, and not having that in game is preventing me from enjoying this fake world where everything works out perfectly because how the fuck else do you ever build character and git gud at sewing irl????? Does anyone else feel this way or do I just have a superiority complex???? ​

I started crocheting a few months ago and somehow just KNEW what to buy. But knitting? I have ZERO clue!

I’m obsessed with wearables, but crochet wearables are pretty bulky unless I use super fine yarn. Then I saw knitted stuff! And boy they are flowy, drapey, light, and doesn’t eat up my entire yarn stash in one project. I’m SOLD.

Sooo… what needles should I buy to start? I’m extremely excited and extremely nervous that I will start panic buying. Help a confused crocheter out? 🫣 I literally know nothing. 🥲✨

Ok so its all small petty things that have added up for me. I used to love watching her content and was happy for her when she got a new house and when her hot af partner's vlogs started taking off etc. But recently her attitude has been pissing me off. Ive had to start completely avoid her lives because her tone and responses to the chat are rude asf 🥀. In one of her lives a month or two ago she was making a beautify pastel chenille lovey 🐝 and was talking about safety eyes. Someone in the video prior let her know safety eyes cant be used for plushies for babies because they can be pulled out. She then proceeded to say “arent all plushies for babies?” 👀 Which yes is a small gripe but that alienates a HUGE part of her community along with the fibre art community 😿🧶.

Her PO box openings are hard to watch she obviously Doesnt appreciate the things she receives and has complained about getting too much stuff in the past. Coming from the woman who hoards yarn like theres no tomorrow. I saw in a live someone asked if she got an ami plushie what would she want and she responded if i wanted a plushie id make it myself with an eye roll 🙄. And sure she doesnt need it, and obviously wouldnt appreciate it, but isnt there a nicer way to address the question? Plus she has mentioned a million times how much she HATES making amigurumi 🥀😭.

I also am shocked she shat on plushies when her friend crochet-bro-daddy is KNOWN for his plushies. And sells them to adults 😬😬😬! Along with this shes gotten lazy; i know before yall come for me that she gets migraines and has epilepsy. Im not talking about those days im talking about (and she has mentioned this in videos) how shes just being lazy. Sure she doesnt have to post or anything but it feels like now that she has a house, a shit ton of yarn (and counting because ppl send her free yarn), and her hot zaddy making vlogs she doesnt post anymore.

Her new drop system is boring and uninspiring, and maybe shes feeling uninspired and i get that we all get those bad days and weeks but its been consistent all year. She stopped doing three vids a week to two vids and a live now its two live and one vid. During work days, when other people are working.

Her channel has just gone downhill significantly. Its like now that shes making merch money she doesn’t have to work anymore. Which by the way she changed her manufacturer for the sweatshirts and they’re better quality she says but what about the 250 people who’s sweatshirts have cracked and worn off within two washes?

She just doesn’t seem like a genuine person, like the fames gotten to her head or something. Which society should never idolize people as perfect but man shes far from it.

I cannot believe the amount of people who treat teaching someone with a different dominant hand as some incredibly difficult task. Literally I cannot fathom how people even notice. I’m someone who often forgets which way is right and which is left. Honestly I think it makes me a better crafter because I learned to mirror knit without realizing it very early on. I’m right handed but was better at knitting left handed for years.

Literally why do you even need to use the words right and left when explaining something. It’s completely unnecessary. People will figure out which hand is more comfortable to use and just use it? It’s not hard? Honestly whenever anyone says right or left it just makes it harder because then I can’t focus on the actual task because I need to take a moment to remember where right and left are.

Yes I realize this probably sounds insane to many of you

So here's the deal. I learned BASIC knitting from my late Nanna yrs before she passed. I recently had begun to pick it back up cuz east cast winters are HARD some days. I make scarves, That's it, I have NO interest in beanies, gloves, socks or anything that requires more of me to count/increase-decrease or any of that sht. I like my basic shape that allows me to try new stitches without having to think too much. WHY in the GODDAMN world do people think that they need to "advise" me to "expand my repertoire/knowledge" and try to force teach me these unnecessary skills? I DONT WANNA LEARN. I already have a full time creative job in a new field. I AINT got the brain power after work to learn new sht. Along with this they INSIST that it's good for you and so try to push their agenda...Even if I join a meetup for crafters, let me knit my rectangles in peace goddammit. anyone else with this issue?
