In My Own Corner

I just started this tank too! So cool to see another one in the wild.

Reblogging for the morning crew, and adding that international shipping is fine!

When I’m done with the 10 other projects I’m currently working on, I definitely want to make some of these.

What are you currently making?

My first sweater!

A scarf!

A Celtic Knot Dragon Shawl!

A 300 square blanket

A cover for my cargo trike made out of tablecloth fabric and pain.

That beaded capelet I posted a couple weeks ago. Because there’s nothing like lace with 5000+ beads!

Socks! And two shawls. And a cowl. And a stole.

A baby blanket, socks, a shawl, fingerless mitts and there’s a cardigan without arms somewhere around here as well.

Socks and my giant lace shawl. Mostly socks

Matching sweaters for my son + 3 nephews!

Many things on the needles, but the active project is a scarf and hat set for a friend made from yarn spun from his dog’s brushed fur. Truly a unique project.

So far over 20…

Is there a deadline?

The implications of this make me sad. 

what is that supposed to mean?? That when you’re over 20 your imagination is supposed to run dry?? Oh sweet summer child, you don’t want to challenge the power of imagination of a twentysomething… thritysomething… fortysomething. It gets mor colorful than your wildest dreams.

I have the feeling that someone might have told the OP that she was too old to still be writing fic.  Pfffft.  Let me tell you something. Once you start writing and reading fanfiction, YOU NEVER STOP.  

You will pry fic from my cold, dead, mid-20s aged hands.

Once you go fic, you never go back. I’ll be 26 next week. B)

33 and reading. How could you stop, when you realize that fanfic is superior to so many published novels our there AND FREE?

ok, shit, i guess i have to do it. I am over 40… I still don’t believe it myself. And I have never written/read as much fic as I have in the past year.

Reading and writing.

39, and I don’t plan to stop reading or writing fanfic anytime soon.

Over 40, I have teen & YA children, and just discovered fanfic 10 months ago. My life was pretty much ALL work, paid and unpaid, before fanfic. I’d stopped writing and drawing close to a decade ago due to prioritizing my children over myself every time. They’re mostly-autonomous now and it’s time to do things I like to do.

36, and only JUST rediscovered fanfiction about a year and a half ago, after a 15+ year hiatus from writing it. This time I think I’m here for good.

I’m 56 and I love reading all the wonderful fanfiction. But also remember Mark Gatiss is 48 and he is writing fanfiction right now, not to mention Steve Moffat who is 53.

I am on the reading side only, but I didn’t start until I was over 30. Better late than never!

40 and I’ve been reading and/or writing fanfic since I was 15. However, my first major fandom was the X-Files. I was 18 when it first aired. And that’s when I really started reading and writing fanfic in earnest.

Reposting for all the fine commentary about how adult women are supposed to put aside “childish things” while men are encouraged to continue to be fans/collect things/have hobbies, and how it’s 100% bullshit.

I didn’t start reading/writing fanfic until after age 20. I agree that there should be no age limit on enjoying a hobby. I also taught myself to knit and spend hours doing that and am not a grandmother (I only just became a mother 3 months ago). Age is just a number after all.

I’m just starting to teach my son baby sign language. The possibility of communication with a preverbal child is hugely attractive to me. The one thing I will note is that some of these are different in the U.S. where American Sign Language is the norm. (Toilet and Good for example).

WHoah whoah woah WHAT you don’t even know what this means to me omg

i wish this post had as much traction as that inaccurate post of definitions written by a non latinx that i keep seeing on my dash

But what if I’m not latina but do have Spanish heritage? My family immigrated from Spain via Puerto Rico to New Jersey. I don’t actually speak Spanish but my grandparents do and it’s important for my medical history to reflect my hispanic ethnic categorization (because it means my height/weight ratio is appropriate regardless of BMI which is a standard based on adult white men). I’m not saying the word isn’t problematic, but I also can’t be categorized at latinx because I’m not.
