This yarn shop offers you an "alibi" you can add on checkout, to hide that you bought yarn...

So the other night during D&D, I had the sudden thoughts that:

1) Binary files are 1s and 0s

2) Knitting has knit stitches and purl stitches

You could represent binary data in knitting, as a pattern of knits and purls…

You can knit Doom.

However, after crunching some more numbers:

The compressed Doom installer binary is 2.93 MB. Assuming you are using sock weight yarn, with 7 stitches per inch, results in knitted doom being…

3322 square feet

Factoring it out…302 people, each knitting a relatively reasonable 11 square feet, could knit Doom.

i have such a low threshold for bullshit now that i'm seconds from telling this woman on the crochet subreddit to leave her husband, even though i know it won't end well for me.

she made him a wool hat and stressed repeatedly to him that it couldn't be machine washed. he washed it anyway, destroying her work. she's trying to play it off like a funny anecdote, how it was sweet how sorry and sad he was in the aftermath, but then let it slip this kind of thing has happened multiple times/continues to happen in their relationship, because he refuses to accept her knowledge as a textile artist and constantly ruins the nice things she makes or buys for either of them. i think he should be killed.

About to try to make one of the hardest things I’ll attempt.

Ok just realized I haven't shared my latest obsession on here yet, so here we go. It all started with Hallowig

Loved the concept, did not love my yarn choice (cotton) or the length. And so I found Flick.

Which uses bulky, not worsted, but I cannot for the life of me understand how ppl are using chunky so I just made Hallowig again but starting with a flick

This is where the madness set in, and I decided to make approximately 73 of these wigs. I once again tried with chunky but no no no NO

Cannot emphasize enough how enormous this thing was, I took a pic and immediately frogged it. This was bulky on size 7 needles btw. Anyway I was still desperate to make more so I dug into my very limited stash of worsted yarn and found black. Thus Betty Page was born.

I love her ❤️

She's wonderful!

I'm currently working on the next one in brown

Wherein I will attempt to do a side part! Before I make a blonde one. Then maybe a blue one? And of course a better pink one, and purple, and highlights and and and
