Things that are in my tallit but they get progressively worse:
Cat hair
Human hair
Saliva (for weaving in ends)
#jumblr#jew by choice#jewish conversion#tallit#personal thoughts tag#shalom crafts#unsanitary tw#the thing is that this will get washed thoroughly before i tie the tzitzit on#look if you can weave in ends without wetting the yarn to get through the needle more power to you#however you have to accept that there's a non-zero chance a hand woven/crocheted/whatever project has saliva in it#which makes it even more critical to wash projects#though tbf projects with very bulky yarns don't have that problem#the blanket i crocheted for a friend was very easy to weave the ends in for actually! but it sucked!#i feel like a peasant when i wet yarn with my mouth. i wonder how many people have done that in history#there's something kind of mystical about it. it's gross to some obviously#but if you can get over that part... you put in SO MUCH of your literal body into a project. it's a kind of death#death exchanged for life. something something maybe the curtains were just blue#i am finally weaving in some of these damn ends though. after probably close to half a year#it just somehow doesn't feel like i'm making REAL progress on this tallit if i focus on weaving in ends. it's dumb
