(anyway Do Not Ask Me Abt Attempting 2 Swatch Ribbing In The Round. Lol.) - Blog Posts

mediablogging very strange feeling! sort of like wanting to eat my vegetables except that idk if you can reasonably describe robert jordan as vegetables tempted to go back to my 'belatedly as an adult reading the books' project honestly—i was having fun with that! (i would say 'idk why i stopped' except lbr i was doing it performatively to amuse soph) (and then after the Great Contretemps it wasn't fun anymore) (but it's been ages at this point and i think it might be fun to pick it up again just for myself.) (might have to start over from the beginning tho.) am definitely in general experiencing a desire to like. consume more non-fanfic narratives lately which is probably like. spring happening to me the sap begins to run and the sun to stick around and the young or at any rate not-dead-yet experience a desire to use their brains a littl (i mean also i had a brief fling in a dream the other day and it was nice so like. bodies and hearts also possibly. however then i woke up) (and remembered that due to NEETitude and Gender Alien Nation i remain categorically unflingable. so like. reading and knitting it is) (gotta get back to that also but i was feeling so tantrumy about my stupid gauge swatch i took a break) (oh yeah i sort of know how to knit now. i mean for definitions of 'know how to knit' that include 'have completed one (1) item' 'and then decided due 2 my perennial insanity and overweening ambition that item 2 should be: sox. what could go wrong.') (anyway do not ask me abt attempting 2 swatch ribbing in the round. lol.) (i mean ok technically it's gone absolutely fine except i didn't leave long enough floats to *stretch* the ribbing bc i didn't realize that was a thing. however it's not actually clear whether it's a thing in this particular pattern or what.) (in conclusion the whole exercise has been mildly pointless and i'm just going to end up making my best guess‚ i think) (which. i could have done to begin with. but at least i got to practice the cast-on this way so. it all leavens the bread or w/e) (i am telling myself thru gritted teeth)
