Sophie Was Right

There are only 2 types of stitches. All others are variations on these types

You count as you knit. 136. You count your stitches again to be sure. 136. One more time to be extra sure. 142. You count again -

You do the heel turn perfectly. The gusset is a mess though

You are knitting in the round with many small, pointy needles. You stab yourself

You are knitting in the round with the normal amount of needles. You stab yourself

There are only 2 types of stitches

None of the actors shown knitting are knitting correctly

None of the products shown are actually knitted

Actually does modern Hollywood know what knitting is?

You see a cute pattern. It is crochet

You have a great idea and check Ravelry to find a pattern. There is none. You must make the pattern

There are only 2 types of stitches

"Can you make me x?"

"My (relative) used to knit!"

"What are you, an old lady?"

The tiny baby blanket used a mile of yarn

You are knitting. Your active yarn is wet. You have a cat. The cat is cute and innocent of all crimes

There are only 2 types of stitches

You have a yarn bag. You get a second yarn bag. You get a third yarn bag. All of your bags now have yarn in them

You have yarn at your superstore. That yarn feels Bad

You have a room full of yarn. You start a new project. You do not have The Yarn needed

And naturally you start an easier project to relax with.

And then everything goes wrong with said easier project. Frogged three times completely, backtracking twice, and even a broken needle.

And you know what that is?

Bad luck leaving before it can touch the other project.

That project with those small mistakes in them that make you feel bad everytime you see them? Proof that even in this machine and AI driven world, you can still make something wonderful by hand.

Those stitches you dropped? Great practice for remaining calm and problem solving, even when you need a break to do so!

That project you have been staring at, but find too difficult to start? It's always nice to have a goal, and even better to take a chance and trust yourself!

Let it be known that if I would have imagined any of the ACTUAL conversations I really do have at work, I would have been institutionalized.

I literally spend 9 hours in class on Thursday alone!

The only break we get is 20 minutes for dinner???? How am I supposed to cook and consume dinner in 20 minutes??? I’m in a medical field! There’s so many lectures to us on the dangers of eating fast food and yet??? What other solution are we being presented with by the same school??? 

20 minutes for dinner! I’m just flummoxed.

Every. Thursday.

At least my one professor won’t care if my rabbit attends my online class with me, even if the one before him would report me for so much as sneezing without her permission.

That’s not counting my Monday juggling classes and life in generally, internship on Tuesday for at least 8 hours (ha! like it is every 8 hours only!), Wednesday meetings and classes, the hardest exam of the program on Friday, or having to find time for student council crap. 

Oh and the oral exam on Thursday that I have to study for.

Since I am incredibly lazy and never seem to commit to posting on this blog about any of my projects, my language goals, OR how school is going, I decided to talk about one thing I love talking about:

My rabbits. 

So hopefully my zero (0) followers will enjoy that XD

And I get to spam the rabbit tag with random shitposts featuring my 4 darling terrors.
