Alrighty here goes my #liveknit experience, where I'll be #liveknitting and sharing all my silly thoughts. Not sure which hashtag I'll keep using.

Got some #BigTwist twinkle yarn from #Joann's on discount. And 60% off some #knittingneedles. Watched some vidyas on #knitting. I can do #knit stitch but not #purl yet. I enjoy #castingon, lol.

First attempt-- too short oops. Trying again. 🤔 I'm not bothering counting until I'm happy with my length...

How is counting so hard. 😵‍💫

Watching #detectivepikachu for the first time and also drinking a local white wine...

Okay, got approximately (🥴) 300 casted on. Might have bungled two but that's 0.6%, and I'm going to try to not be too perfectionist...

#detectivepikachu prediction: the Pikachu is the kids father.

Lordy that was a really obvious plot, bit enjoyable nonetheless! I only got 1 row done the entire time... And it was QUITE TIGHT. Luckily I can untwist the bits on my circular line. 😅

Alright I have completed a whopping two (2) rows on #knitting my little blanket over the course of like 3-4 hours. I've overestimated my capacity for speed. The good news is once I had #knit my second row, my overly tight stitches loosened quite a bit. Should get easier from here. I have 760 yds of #yarn total. I haven't even used one up, of course, but I'm already thinking of other colours... Like that "guy looking back at other girl" meme.

@HaelusNovak Two rows a day will get you there.

I appreciate the encouragement! Definitely need it as my dumb self just made a tangled mess and I'll have to start over. 😔

Ho ve, started over and it's going okay. Got some bad news about how healthcare is trying to make us pay out of pocket for an expensive procedure. Trying to stay on-task while my yarn is becoming more like a few strings slightly twisted together. 😵‍💫🥴

listening to #Dune while I try again. Somehow I keep tying my string into a loop but it should be a rectangle. 😵‍💫 #liveknit

I finally got back to 2 rows #knit. Phew. It'd have been nice to have 4 rows, but I'll try to think of it as a learning experience. And I got to about 1/2 through #Dune. Enjoying it other than the annoying "evil fat man is a boy lover cause that's GROSS and more evil than opposite sex pedophilia. 👹" No, y'all, it ALL is evil and gross. Stop adding #homosexuality as another layer of ick. This book is old AF, but the true continues ever on.

@CooksBooksandFoodieLooks oh gosh so sorry for tagging you in every single post CooksBook. I didn't even notice because I'm bad at social media. 😬 Removed all those tags to hopefully avoid that happen again.
