Not even dying the next day usually, more like dying immediately and regretting my choices

 

[SARdoghandler]

Do you know how much non plastic yarn costs????

Get a Keeshond and spin and dye the undercoat wool. It is genuinely pure wool textured 😂

This is so funny because I find crocheting SO much easier

But it's probably just because I learned it first

I learned to knit when I was like six or seven.

Hell yeah dude! Open another!

I don’t really drink anymore cause my body said “you’re over thirty, two drinks and you’ll be dying the next day”. It’s actually wild how my Garmin shows me when I’ve been drinking like “hey buddy you slept like **** and your HRV is dead are you also dying?” 😅

Noooooo my record was two and a half bottles by myself on my 21st birthday and I intend for that to be a permanent record

At least WW is a free hobby

Except for the hit my ego takes when I say “yeah I play werewolf with nerds online in my free time”

I saw a guy buy his wife a “sheep” where they adopt one from afar and get their wool every year to use as they please and I have considered it

I’ve also considered the consequences of a full fleece showing up at my house and my spouse not knowing, so buying yarn it is!

Oh gosh. I only started crocheting like three years ago? Knitting a little over a year ago.

I've still never completed any of the full size blankets I've started. A couple baby blankets and several wearables but I mostly make amigurumi.

I'm sure they won't mind the smell of raw wool in your house for several weeks while you process it!

Amigurumi are so cute but so intimidating to me and seem so difficult!

I have many abandoned knitting projects lol

Currently I am slowly working on an embroidery hoop

This is how I found out raw wool has a smell

 

[kitzsuna]

There’s needs to be more hours in the day I swear to god. Like how are we supposed to sleep work eat maintain a house AND have hobbies?? Multiple even???

Now imagine helping multiple miniature humans sleep eat and have THEIR hobbies.

The hobbies get crowded out =/

It just smells like sheep. Which is almost as bad as goat.

I have a blanket, part of a sock, part of a DIFFERENT blanket, and something else cast on

Oops I was supposed to say something happier.

Kids are rainbows and sunshine guys!

How many completed projects do I have? ONE. The spouse’s fingerless gloves.

And this is why I don't have miniature humans. Pure selfish desire to continue to prioritize my own hobbies 😛

Genuinely don’t know how people do it

Fingerless gloves are less fancy because fingers are annoying

I want four. The spouse wants two. I’m sure this will cause ZERO ISSUES later on.

I started out with Woobles so I guess kinda makes sense I'm most comfortable with that kind of crochet. Leveled up from there but the concepts are still the same!

But then they hug you and just melt onto your body and say "I love you soooooo much" and you go "fine I can do this for another day I guess 🥺"

You guys are probs such good parents

 

[WildZoo]

I really really love being an aunt and getting to hand the little potato back to his parents when we're done having fun

We were both sure we wanted 2. We got 3, and briefly considered a 4th. I think it's hard to have a firm sense of when you're "done" until you reach that point--you know when you know.

Like, y'all are getting tired Spurs tonight who got to leave work early and drive his kids all over town to their various activities because the nanny was sick and Mrs. Spurs was working. But they really are the absolute best.

Mine are 8, 6, and 4--when do these kind of cute things start happening?? Cuz I just get them alternately snapping at me or making fart jokes

HOW DO YOU MAKE STITCHES OUT OF NOTHING

WITCH

Amigurumi are so cute but so intimidating to me and seem so difficult!

See this is my fascination with knitters - I don't know how y'all do what you do. I have tried to learn how to knit many times but it never ends up well. I think my brain just can't tolerate having to move two hands/needles at once. I did learn to crochet first though, when I was 7. I basically suppled all my friends with winterwear (scarves, hats, etc) throughout middle school and high school lmao. Nowadays I mainly do amigurumi and I find it easier than making clothes - it's more forgiving if you accidentally drop a stitch or didn't measure correctly. Nothing worse than making huuuuuuge long lines for a cardigan and then realizing three rows later you dropped a stitch and having to frog. I buy patterns off of Etsy (I'm too silly and lazy to come up with my own) and they're pretty easy once you know how to read patterns! Because most amigurumi are so small you also don't really need to know many complex stitches; a basic amigurumi is just single crochet all around.

ww causes me heartburn and stress, the same way that spicy food and Taco Bell does, but I do all of those things regardless of the cost 🤩

My hobbies are this, hyperfixating on a (usually but not always turn based) video game for 1 to 3 months, and pathfinder (similar tabletop game to dnd). I like to say the only cost for playing pathfinder is the gas it takes to drive somewhere to play it, but then my wife points out all the meals I get at the game cafe and all the legos-as-minis and the various books and pdfs I've bought "cause they're on sale! And it's a humble bundle, so it's both cheaper and some goes to charity!" And I have to concede that it's a theoretically cheap hobby for me

I've played neither 😭

Both are turn-based!!!

I'll sneak the trailer in to trick you into thinking about it. The overall narrative and music is just so perfect.

It's on my list! I'm currently stuck on a middling dnd video game with terrible writing but for whatever reason that's what trapped my attention

 

[chicandtoughness]

Have either of you played the Banner Saga series? I'm doing a replay right now (last played it in 2018 when Banner Saga 3 came out) and phew. The story hits hard.

Nowadays I only game on my Switch because I just KNOW if I pick up PC gaming again, it's all going to be over. I don't even want to admit how many hours of my life have been lost to SC2 (acceptable) and League of Legends (absolutely not).

I have decided that, as a somewhat crafty person, the enduring mystery of Iron Lung is the fiber content of Simon's sweater.
