🥒 Cornichon à l'Anneth 🌿 @dillspitzen@mastodon.cloud

@doomotto thankfully it‘s not sharp or I would‘ve probably managed to accidentally kill myself with one already. 🤣

I mean, look at this thing!

I don‘t understand how people can #crochet with an 18mm hook when even 8mm seems huge to me. the 12mm in my set is GIGANTIC. 🤣
(though to be fair, I‘ve never had any super chunky yarn before)

@midsomerplots I‘d absolutely KILL IT at a pickled onion eating competition.

@distantmoonlight I‘m probably not going to need a swift, because I don‘t see myself buying any fancy yarn hanks.. Those are usually animal fibres and I am allergic to some and touchaverse to most. 😁 I want a winder so I can just wind handy 100g cakes and not have to deal with large balls that don‘t fit into my yarn bowls.

I‘m trying hard to make myself believe that I don‘t need a wool ball/cake winder.. then again, I‘m currently dealing with acrylic fuzzy wool barf. 🫣

@der_vogel ähhh… 🤣

Currently in a workshop learning how to use job control for our company mainframe environment. With me are about 10 other people, most of them cobol devs with >20 years experience. The questions they‘re asking are.. something. I‘m trying hard not to hit my head on the desk.

@danielaKay I still need about 25 squares more.. so I‘m about 2/3 of the way done.
I think I‘m going to start blocking the stuff I already have.

@Peace_out_art cheap yarn and awful needles were the reason why I always thought I hated knitting. 😁

Current Granny Square Progress:

@Peace_out_art Since my ten year old hooks have been crapping out for the last two weeks, I‘ve researched a bit and I think the Clover Amore are a great investment. I‘ll definitely buy one or two to test out.
I don‘t have large hands and always hold my hook a bit weird (not like a pencil)

okay, those two #crochet hook heads couldn‘t be more different.
the metal one (cheap set from amazon I bought in 2012) has a much rounder shape, which makes it quite difficult to penetrate some stitches. the prym ergonomics hook is also way longer, especially in the neck.

I‘ve received another delivery from #hobbii. 🫣 Wish me luck that now I‘ve enough yarn to finish my granny squares. I‘ve also ordered a prym ergonomics #crochet hook to try out how my hand likes the shape.

@danielaKay yes, thooooooose. 🤣

People who honestly want to wear #crochet bikinis for SWIMMING…
Oh you sweet summer child.

I was always just „the grandchild“ and I doubt they could‘ve even answered a single question about my hobbies/interests.
Presents were never personalized, always „appropriate for age/gender as per salesperson“ or „some money in an envelope with my name spelled wrong“. (2/2)
