PROGRESS!!!!!!

#out of queue #ani rambles #so the problem i had earlier was ‘i made 2 chains when i wasnt supposed to and everything was whack’#but i fixed it so now its Less Whack.#this is gonna be the hood i have like 12 more rows to stitch which might be a full ball of my yarn #also im understanding how motherfuckers listen to podcasts #i listened to like 4 video essays dissecting hozier lyrics and comparing them to dantes inferno #like my other hobbies (drawing and writing) require imagination and concentration and Specific Vibes #crochet requires a different kind of concentration #but so far its good for listening to new music and videoessays so maybe i’ll try a podcast tomorrow. or friday #tomorrow meaning later today because ITS FIVE AM #AAAAAAAAA

it's really a shame I have to sell 40+ of my life hours every week for poverty wages instead of spending all my time and energy on dozens of creative and technical pursuits with unlimited resources

#nerd alert #lets see if i can list all the hobbies i wish i could be doing instead of working #drawing. both traditional and digital. painting mostly acrylic but id like to get good at watercolors. drawing/writing comics #writing in general. fiction nonfiction poetry lyrics whatever. composing music. music production. singing. practicing piano and guitar #performing someday maybe!#sculpting too. i always forget bc i never do it bc i am never in a place to justify buying clay. i should just get some #i think im fairly good at it tbh. anyway.#knitting. sewing. mending and modding clothes in general. embroidery. id like to learn to crochet at some point #photography and scrapbooking sound appealing. photo editing.#web design. game design. 3d modeling. these are all things i dont really know how to do much of but id like to #animation. voice acting. regular acting. honestly a lot of stuff in the filmmaking process sounds fascinating id like to try some of it #tarot reading. is that a hobby? im gonna say yes. jewelry making.#lots of these ive only dabbled in and some i havent even done that but would like to. but i have no time and or money to get into them.#i would hardly call myself a master at any of these. jack of all trades as it were. and thats fine im fine w that #but given the time and resources i think i could make so many different diverse perfectly average to good things #that people could enjoy in passing or say 'oh how neat :)' about

do you get incredibly excited over cataloguing candles or are you normal

#HAVING THE TIME OF MY MF LIFE RN #decided to put together some index cards into a little flip thing #and list down all of my candles #sorted into seasons / vibes #currently i have 24 candles #but some are running very low... rip #like my really good peach ones. sigh #BUT OHHHHHH CATALOGUING CANDLES #LOVE ME SOME CANDLES #absolutely unprompted #today has been unusually good!#a nice end to a shit week #got my boba. got some errands done. finished my crochet sleeves. organizing my candles rn. hell. fucking. yes.#and then im gonna draw!!! yippee yahoo!!!#might even be able to respond to messages!!#the energy is genuinely ~high~ and ~positive~ for once #i even found some good cardstock and stuff #so i can print out a couple things ive been dying to #namely a commission of My Specialest Boy that i need on my wall #i need more commissions of him... i need a full wall of him to gaze at...#i need to make that 'do it for him' board thats been hanging in my brain for the past eight years #BUT THATS LATER. NOW IS CANDLE TIME #i gotta rank them from favorite to least as well...

Terrible rushed picture on the way to work this morning but look at this bag i crocheted for my not-really-boss-but-she-is-in-charge-of-many-things-but-not-me-specifically-as-far-as-i-can-tell. She was super excited by all my bags i kept bringing and always complimented them and said she wished we had time for me to teach her to crochet, and i am just so unused to the relentlessly nice compliments that i ended up crocheting her a bag. You cant really see it but it has a white base as well. And its the closest i could get to rainbow colors (she is, as far as i can tell, the type of Ally TM who puts rainbows on everything), so it seemed a safe color scheme. Anyway when i gave it to her today she was speechless for a few seconds and then started punching the air

So, seems like a successful gift

#shes great #i feel like if id known her when i was a teenager i would have decided she was my mom lol #as it is im just generally delighted by her #crochet #grocery bag #rest of my day was unbelievably bad and tomorrow will probably be worse but this was a high point #also got to paint a little plate ! i did strawberries on it #dont know how itll turn out until its fired and it might be a while till i get it back sadly #but it was really nice #im trying to focus on the nice parts of my day bc if i dont manage to unclench my jaw soon i think i might break a tooth #couldnt sleep last night either bc i could not get any of my muscles to relax. to an insane degree #anyway. strawberry plate. and it has little hearts on it and i painted the rim to kind of look like rays of sun in the sky #i havent really done any non textile or musical art in years but the stuff ive tossed together for kids in arts and crafts #has been surprisingly good and fun and made me want to pick up painting or drawing again #havent yet bc horribly busy but my last day is tomorrow. so

do you guys ever get excited about the skills you've learned so far and all the skills you'll learn over the rest of your life

#lile thinking about it im 24 and ive already got a good grip on writing #i know some drawing fundementals and how to code in html and how to hold a basic conversation in spanish/glean meaning from text in spanish #and i have at least 60-80 more years to learn things!!!#i could become an artist and fluent in multiple languages #i could go further with my crochet and sewing and pick up weaving #i could fully learn ballet or the bass guitar or the keyboard #its just like. so exciting to me to be able to do things and create

Heres me admitting i dont like knitting and crochet! I like the IDEA of them, and I like having finished products and a sense of satisfaction, but Im bad! Everything is frustrating angry bad! Embroidery is more finicky but I love it infinitely more??????? But my stupid ass brain is like... No u are obligated to knit or crochet because it creates something useful that can be donated and ur needlepoint crafts just make pretty things and that's selfish and bad because you use up your free time not helping others

#franposting #yes i tried to crochet that hat tonight with no success #its BAD HARD and im using super fuzzy yarn and i can't see my stitches #and i HATE THIS SHIT #i think im gonna just knit it flat and seam it #since i find knitting somewhat easier but i Hate knitting in the round #i will try crochet again with a lighter weight yarn maybe ill be able to see my stitches easier #but also i think I just have too much tension and it makes everything infinitely more difficult #which is NOT a problem i have with embroidery and cross stich #like yeah sure im bad at drawing so generallyi sketch and trace my patterns with water soluble pencil #and im still learnier fancier stitches #BUT IT'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN YARN CRAFT #alas. guilt brain be killing me. i have the need go make smthn useful #and i dont think my needlepoint is good enough to sell and then donate the money to a soup kitchen or mutual aid group #which is the only way to alleviate needlepoint guilt #i love pretty things!

I crave structure and the ability to focus and do the things again!!!!

#mess and stress before and then getting 2 sicknesses back to back destroyed me #now im an unregulated ball of hyperactivity and decision paralysis and big feelings and missing people #and i want to draw and sing (but my voice is still rekt) and crochet and sew and paint and climb and clean and write all at once #i am TRYING to use my tools to get back on track it is HARD #i DID get to drink tea and eat healthy ish and make my own food and enjoy reading today. like all day! and watched a movie with friends #so today was very good #minus the still testing positive to the 'VID (i feel fine besides unregulated/The ADHD/the horrors and the tail end of a cough)#so still not going anywhere really....#tldr good fics. i did enjoy today even if it was mostly physically stationary the fics were good enrichment #my brain went to like 15 different versions of hyrule and the world and a few other worlds #and had lots of fun following adventures so that was good

ive been kinda thinking of trying out a new hobby... maybe i should give embroidery another go

#my parents visit left my brain in a state of cringe fail. i need some kind of Thing #maybe i could crochet some more that went pretty well #or draw again. havent done that in a while #i keep thinking 'oh ill do x' but then stressful things happen and i am exhausted #it was also nice when i was on my workout kick but im not sure how to integrate that back into my life #LE SIGH #it would also be nice to do a people thing of some kind or like. just meet friends more often lmao #i am not very good at people but its ok #i did a thing that usually makes me feel better but it didnt and now im just like. sad.#so i am. Trying. To make life more bearable fucking hell #actually maybe ill crochet something. idk what. but it will be a Project #tomorrow i need to go out anyway.. hmmm...#and ill get myself flowers and also make plans to cook something and get some nice music on #re: people thing #i have a coworker i am getting along with somewhat well. i could ask if she wants to go somewhere maybe #she is a little annoying but like. arent we all. she has good intentions ig #and once i deal with my garbage i could invite the two friends i wanted to invite back in june over #AND another friend we havent talked in ages but i messaged her last month and we met up. it was nice.#AND my other friends that i also didnf talk to much for a bit but we met up this monday. they wanted to have a 'girls night' kinda thing #with cooking and face masks. the fun kind.#sigh. itll be okay. this gets published anyway in case yall have fun hobby suggestions <3

so. almost done with the heel turn of the second sock (meaning just another hour at most of knitting left) and just realized that i knit the second sock with one stitch more per needle than i did the first. last pair of socks was 14 stitches per needle, this pair was supposed to be 13. the gauge is 7 stitches per inch (3 stitches per cm) so this is an extra half inch larger in circumference.

:/

#was wondering why the heel turn numbers seemed a little off #but i was only working on this at work and its a lot more acceptable to be knitting than to be on my phone #so i never ended up checking my notes bc i kept forgetting to during breaks #also was not confident that i had actually taken any notes to begin with #or where i had put them if indeed they existed at all #im just gonna keep knitting it. id rather risk the last hour of knitting ending up with a still wearable pair of socks #because 8 more hours of work is just as annoying as 9 more hours of work #im also wondering if i can do some sewing to bunch up the top a little or maybe a crocheted cable #if that ends up drawing the sock in. will probably experiment #im not actually worried it wont fit me (i knit socks for myself with a lot of negative ease)#but im extremely sensitive to pressure on my feet and the lack of it from socks is very uncomfortable #so if one sock is looser than the other i will start to lose it #(like in the Fork Theory ? uneven socks is a hundred forks. my tolerance for anything else unpleasant becomes zero #so ! it might not be perceptible (these both have ribbing and that may distract from the size significantly #we will see.#always something these days.#i will admit most of those somethings are caused by my brains inability to hold a stable memory #everything is all blended together and i cannot remember when anything happened or the context of it #i wonder somewhat if its gabapentin symptoms. i was doing fine for a while but ive been taking more than the usual dose #to try and combat symptoms but like good god i feel like my brain has been stuffed full of wool #not even in a fun way #eesh. anyway i will continue to knit this sock i suppose #knitting #sock knitting #woes
