    i decided to learn crochet, and you know what it’s remarkably fucking similar in some ways
    computing did arise from looms, so this is quite poetic

      Please don’t make those blankets that are just a 20 kilo pile of knots that don’t keep anybody warm and you can’t throw out until your auntie dies.

        But no i really just want to make gloves, because commercial ones are either actually unusably bad or they charge out the ass for mass-produced ones from china and imply it’s actually handmade domestically.
        Plus by making my own i can make sure they contain as much wool as possible, because i enjoy having warm hands even in the rain, as weird as that apparently is.
