Drives me batty that “Marvus’s route would have been better if it wasn’t so disgusting” comes around every so often. The disgust is. THE WHOLE POINT!

Mika Tee is all knit, ends woven in, and blocked!

Pattern: Mika Tee, size 3 // Yarn: Malabrigo Mola in Pocion // Needles: 2.25mm // GerTw c /o and JSS b/o // Difficulty: 2.5/5; need to know german short rows, picking up stitches, dropping stitches, and basic knit/purl stitching. Intermediate knitter would be comfortable making this.

The colorway has grown on me! I still may over-dye it black in the future. The finished piece came out a bit looser than intended, but I think it still fits well. Since this is a silk yarn, there isn't much stretch to it, so that may be for the best.

Modifications made to pattern:

Not many this time! I did more rapid increases for waist shaping, and that's about it. I realized about 20 rows into the body that the waist wasn't decreasing enough, so started doing a decrease every other row to decrease more rapidly. The way my body is shaped means that I have about a single size difference between my shoulders/bust and my waist, so this is par for the course for garment shaping for me. I also knit the sleeves a bit shorter.

i was at work last night and i gave these two really nice and chatty older men (probably mid 70s) their drinks and for some reason the words that came out of my mouth were “you lads have a good night, now” and i have no idea whose ghost possessed me because i do not talk like that but i said it so confidently i just had to go with it

being physically disabled at a young age is such a weird thing. i’ve got a level of perspective that most people don’t but my god is it hell to navigate the world as a young disabled person. for years i’ve been told that i’m too young to have a physical disability only for doctors to now think i have an autoimmune disease that is causing insane levels of pain across my body. i wasn’t lying about it and surprise it had nothing to do with my weight.

i use a cane to get around because i currently can’t afford anything that would be better suited and i get such weird looks. a doctor asked me if i really needed it and who told me i needed it— i don’t walk around with a cane for shits and giggles, i told myself i needed it because walking without support was becoming unbearable. in likelihood i probably am going to need a wheelchair at some point but ill cross that bridge when i get to it.

before i became estranged from my family i was constantly being met with their own internalised ableism. they’re both physically disabled but i was constantly told that i was over exaggerating or i was making it up because i was between the ages of 14-22 (im 22 currently) and god forbid i complain about my pain and my disability when they have it so much worse. it’s bullshit i am allowed to complain.

my uni was weird initially about me claiming i had a disability, mostly because i didn’t have a definitive diagnosis other than generalised chronic pain. but i continued to push and win for me, i got a ground floor flat so i no longer have to walk up three flights of stairs (because for some reason this building doesn’t have a lift???)

i guess i wanted to sort of write this all out because life is complex as a young physically disabled person (and i have mental disabilities on top of that lol) i’m proud of myself for getting where i am all things considered but i wish i had answers to what is really going on with my body, i wish people took me seriously and i wish i wasn’t relying on pain medication to get through my day.

sorry for the long post and i’m sure like no one is going to read through it all 😭 but i suppose i just wanted to write it out

Nothing will ever give me more whiplash than going to enter something in our memory journal and seeing that someone already wrote about what I was going to put in there. I can remember The Thing but not that someone already wrote about The Thing for me, eh

sup gang. it is one month later and I have moved across the country very successfully ✌️

got a great job with a great schedule and benefits, giving me an opportunity to go back to college next year. Got my dream apartment (will be moving in sometime over the next week or so). Money isn’t as tight as I thought it would be. Things are pretty good.

Potpourri Fade Socks

Socks 1 of 2 for my girlfriend for our anniversary in August 🥰 I used the leftover yarn from my venatian shawl to make these! I faded the yarn myself…. Don’t even ask how long it took to weave in all those ends 😭 the end result is so lovely, though, and I’m really happy with the end result.

Pattern: free-handed. Did an anatomical toe, shadow-wrap heel, and 2x2 ribbing. Knit toe-up // Yarn: this was a fade set by WIP yarns // Used Turkish cast-on for the toes and JSSBO for the cuff.
