I’ve opened submissions on my three main blogs (this one, heteroskedasknitcity, and stochastic-yarn). The idea is that I know sometimes the ask box eats things, and fanmail can’t be published, so this is a way to ask me complicated questions or send me mini-fanfic or whatever the hell you feel like doing with it.

I just showed this to my husband and he said, “Oh my God, it looks just like you! How did you do that?”
To which I replied, “My boots are far more awesome than those ones. But yes, it is an eerily accurate representation.”

Dear fanfic writers
If you write a story in which you talk about a banker having “stalks” or a “stalk portfolio”, I am going to instantly lose all respect for you.
I’m also going to assume you’re about twelve.

Ply- yarn is made by spinning your fiber (wool, alpaca, silk, buffalo fur, pet fur, camel fur, etc) into thin strands. Those first thin strands are plies. Then you spin those together, two at a time, then spin the two-ply strands with other ones and so on, until the yarn is as thick as you want it.

I have not spoken French on a regular basis in twelve years.
So, dear brain, WHY do you still attempt to switch over into French sometimes? Why do you even try? You can’t even remember all the pronouns!
PS: I know you’ve been injured several times, dear brain, so I will forgive you for having trouble thinking of the English word equivalents sometimes. That said, why are you still...

Like, I love knitting, and am proud to be a hardcore knitta, but there are some things you can do with crochet that you just can’t do with knitting.

What is says about you: You are an elegant person. You appreciate tradition and wisdom that comes with age. You depend on modern technology and may feel uncomfortable without it.
Welp. I’m not surprised.
oh NICE...

even if you’re joking there’s literally no need at all to use the word tranny
