00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,520 Before we delve into this week's topics, let's share what we're all working on now, Dreya. 9 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:25,520 Kimmy Shaw. 10 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:26,520

shy. 17 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:42,600 So I'm hoping. 18 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,600 Almost. 19 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:49,000 Those last few rows are so long because you have hundreds of stitches at that point. 20 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000 I know. 21 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,480 And I'm still increasing. 22 00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:54,000 I'm still increasing. 23 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,000 And you've been done. 24 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,680 Like at that point, everyone who's ever done a shawl knows when you get to the end, you're 25 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:00,680 done. 26 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:01,680 You've been done. 27 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,680 Well, I've already done the bobbles. 28 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,680 There's bobbles in those, which I forgot about. 29 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:05,680 They're little ones. 30 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,880 You know, I like little bobbles. 31 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,600 Yeah, those are cute. 32 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,000 I like those. 33 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,000 Those were fun to do. 34 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,280 And yeah, not this week, but definitely for next episode. 35 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,280 Yay. 36 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,000 That is exciting. 37 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000 Very empty applause. 38 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,280 That's the Akemi shawl by Isabel Kramer. 39 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,280 And I'm using silver moon fiber arts, faded jeans, fingering weight. 40 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,800 A plus. 41 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,920 Sweet Meg. 42 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:46,880 I am finishing up the lovely stripes shawl by Leah Michelle designs. 43 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:55,080 I have two sections to go after the one I am working on. 44 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,920 And each section is like not terribly long. 45 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:05,400 So probably not by this time next week, but hopefully by this time, two weeks from now, 46 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,680 it'll be done. 47 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:07,680 I hope so. 48 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,680 I'm it's beautiful. 49 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:14,280 And I like knitting it, but I'm, I'm starting to do the thing where I'm looking at other 50 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,280 yarns. 51 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,280 I'm looking at other yarns. 52 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,160 I'm winding other yarns and that's never a good thing. 53 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,480 I stopped myself today. 54 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,360 I was like trolling Ravelry for other patterns. 55 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:30,040 And I'm like, no, no, no, we're, we're gonna, we're sticking with it because I actually 56 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,040 have only finished one project this year. 57 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,400 And again, not a bad thing. 58 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,460 We've talked about that before, but I really want to finish this one because I know if 59 00:02:38,460 --> 00:02:41,480 I put it in the bag, not going to finish it. 60 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,960 I'm just not, I'm not going to finish it. 61 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,680 I'm so close at this point. 62 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,680 You really are. 63 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:52,560 I am knitting it from Critical Hit Dyes, barred fingering in the discontinued colorway Sapphire 64 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,560 Dragon. 65 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,560 Nice. 66 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,560 Tina? 67 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:04,560 I decided in my infinite wisdom to start a project that's I'm making do from a week from 68 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,560 now. 69 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,560 Very good. 70 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,280 Yeah, I'm impressed. 71 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:17,600 I'm making a blanket for my cousin's newborn and I it's, it's okay. 72 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,180 To be fair, it's not like a huge blanket and also it's knit in the round. 73 00:03:21,180 --> 00:03:22,680 So I feel like it goes faster. 74 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,680 Nice, nice. 75 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,400 But it is called the Radiating Star Blanket by Alexis Laden. 76 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:37,920 And I am making it in Juniper Moon Farms in Cumulus with this kind of blue color and a 77 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,920 light pink color. 78 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,760 They're like faded blue and pink colors. 79 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:48,460 And I'm just basically, it has like a section that you repeat several times. 80 00:03:48,460 --> 00:03:51,200 And every time I do a section, I switch a color. 81 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,200 Nice. 82 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,520 So that's going to be real pretty. 83 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,280 Yeah, I'm actually and it's going to end up real fast. 84 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,760 Yeah, I'm actually almost done. 85 00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,760 You can't put it down. 86 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:00,760 Yeah, literally cannot put Cumulus down. 87 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,760 Yeah, it's so good. 88 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,760 It's a sexy yarn. 89 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,760 It really is. 90 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,760 It is real nice. 91 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,760 Jess? 92 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:14,120 So I am still working on Phoenix by Crafty Intentions. 93 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,280 I also have my tea cozy sitting over here with our flowers and eventually I'll feel 94 00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:19,280 like making some flowers. 95 00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:22,120 But right now I'm making a Phoenix foot. 96 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,180 So that's where we're at. 97 00:04:24,180 --> 00:04:30,560 I am making it out of Critical Hit Die's Fireball and I'm using a fingering weight. 98 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,480 I'm pretty sure it is. 99 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,480 It's rogue. 100 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,480 Yeah. 101 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,040 I'm pretty sure the pattern calls for worsted. 102 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,040 What? 103 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,400 I'm making it smaller. 104 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,120 It's a tiny Phoenix and y'all can back off with my gauges. 105 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,120 Oh, oh. 106 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,640 I do what I want. 107 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,640 That is fair. 108 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,240 And I forgot to say that if you look up my pattern, it says it's done in bulky, but I 109 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,640 did it in a bigger needle and a smaller yarn because I wanted to. 110 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,640 Whatever. 111 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,040 We play fast and lose with gauge. 112 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,040 Why not? 113 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,040 It's a blanket. 114 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,040 It's a Phoenix. 115 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,120 He's just going to be a tiny Phoenix. 116 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,120 It's all good. 117 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,600 It's doing what you want it to do.

that I'm currently on, I'm using Plison Hellhound's 122 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,040 Day in, I want to say it's Ginger. 123 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,960 I think that is Ginger because it's the one with the sparkle. 124 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,240 It's the sparkly yarn. 125 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:35,240 Well, if you guys all want to see pictures of our projects, if we remember to take them 126

00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,600 or fast and loose? 131 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,600 I am polyamorous. 132 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:08,600 Are you polyamorous with your yarns or are you monogamous with your yarns? 133 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,600 What is your- 134 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,600 Or do you go back and forth? 135 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,160 Are you a switch hit? 136 00:06:13,160 -->

00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:24,840 good with throwing on whatever the heck you feel like whenever you feel like it, or are 140 00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:27,680 you a little bit of both? 141 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:28,680 What do peeps feel? 142 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,440 How are we feeling about that? 143 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,480 I feel like I'm a switch hitter. 144 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,080 I feel like for the most part, yeah, for the most part I get kind of focused on what I'm 145 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:44,420 working on, but then case in point, I've got half tea cozy sitting next to me just watching 146 00:06:44,420 --> 00:06:47,600 me work on a Phoenix, sadly. 147 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,080 You have a wandering eye. 148 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,080 Mourning. 149 00:06:50,080

sexy new project winks 152 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,080 at you. 153 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,080 That's true. 154 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,760 And you're off doing that until that one's done and then you may or may not go back to 155 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:09,760 the original. 156 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:10,760 It's true. 157 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:11,760 You know what? 158 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,280 I'm not counting those who just open up ravelry and just look like you're allowed to look, 159 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,280 guys. 160 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,280 It's all good. 161

00:07:31,160 I will say I am constantly opening up ravelry and being like, what do I, my favorites list 165 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,280 is so long at this point. 166 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,920 You got to appreciate the pretties. 167 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:34,920 Yeah. 168 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:35,920 I favorite things. 169 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:42,040 And then like once every five years I go through and I'm like, I would never get that. 170 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,560 I would never knit that in a million years. 171 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,960 I don't know why I favorited that. 172 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,160 It's really pretty, but I'm not going to do that. 173 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,960 It is not a project for me. 174 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,960 Guys, I actually bought another pattern that I have no intention of. 175 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:54,960 It's crochet. 176 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,080 I'm not crocheting anytime soon, but I do want to do it. 177 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:06,880 No, it's, it's gloves and they're cabled, but it's crochet, which I thought was interesting. 178 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,840 That is interesting. 179 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,040 And I took a quick, granted, this was a, I forget what time of night it was. 180 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,520 I should not have been like looking at patterns. 181 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,520 You didn't tell me you bought it. 182 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,520 Oh yeah. 183 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,640 Because the last time I didn't buy something like that, the price went up like $10 and 184 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,640 I regretted it. 185 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,320 So I got it now. 186 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,560 And I was looking at the directions because I always like go over my

really should just be going to bed, 189 00:08:34,620 --> 00:08:37,320 but I have it and it looks cool. 190 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,120 And you were texting that pattern you up. 191 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:47,120 Were you at where you at? 192 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,360 All right. 193 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:50,680 So Jess is a switch header. 194 00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:53,080 I mean, you could, you could stare at me if you want. 195 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,080 You all know. 196 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,080 I don't even, I don't think I need to say anything. 197 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,080 You already said it. 198 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,080 I was going to say it. 199 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,080 You did already say it. 200 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,680 I just, I, the more the merrier, give me a harem of whips. 201 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:02,680 No. 202 00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:03,680 Okay. 203 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:04,680 Merch. 204 00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:05,680 Now. 205 00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:14,200 I need a big bag that just says my harem of whips on it. 206 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,200 God. 207 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,360 You cut that out. 208 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,080 And only comes in size beach tote. 209 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,080 Yeah. 210 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,080 Yeah. 211 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,080 It absolutely. 212 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,080 Absolutely. 213 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,080 You can't put a harem of whips in a small bag. 214 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,080 No, triple XL for sure. 215 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,080 Only the biggest. 216 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,080 Absolutely. 217 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,080 My harem of whips. 218 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,080 That was amazing. 219 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,080 That was beautiful. 220 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,080 That was poetry right there. 221 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,080 I'm here to provide. 222 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,920 No, I just, you know, I don't try to go against my brain. 223 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:48,280 You know, I find that if I go with my brain, you know, I can, I can try to like, especially 224 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:54,320 with, you know, good therapies and medications, I'm not completely going off the rails, but 225 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,720 like if my brain really wants to focus on this thing, I'm going to focus on that thing 226 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,680 because it's going to be easier for me to just focus on that rather than like forcing 227 00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:04,440 myself to do something else. 228 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,320 So like this, this blanket right now, the reason why my brain's like, we got to do this 229 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,380 right now is because it has a super short deadline. 230 00:10:11,380 --> 00:10:15,840 And if you give me deadlines, all of a sudden my brain goes, oh my God, we need to do the 231 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,000 thing. 232 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000 So we are the complete opposite. 233 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000 I know. 234 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000 Yeah, right. 235 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,400 Cause yours goes, I'm, I'm not going to do that thing. 236 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,400 Correct? 237 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,400 Yes. 238 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,520 I will not be doing that soon as I have a deadline. 239 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,960 It's like, well, enjoy this thing. 240 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,760 So I just watch that sale by mine is like, no shame. 241 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,960 Oh, that's the deadline, but I could get it done faster. 242 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,520 Nope, it's cause you are fueled on spite. 243 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,720 Like every aspect of your life. 244 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,120 No, you're not. 245 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:58,240 I should mention that the deadlines have to be like something that means a lot to me. 246 00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,800 So it can't just be arbitrary. 247 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,800 Yeah. 248 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,800 It can't be like, if you care about this person, you can't just be like, I'm putting this deadline 249 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:05,800 on so I do it. 250 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,920 Then your brain's like, you thought, yeah, no, literally. 251 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,560 Cause it's like, if I say to myself, okay, I'm going to finish this by, I don't know, 252 00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:16,320 September, I'll be like, well, for what reason though? 253 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,120 And then I reason myself out of it. 254 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,080 I said so, who are you? 255 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,880 No, this time I'm like, yeah. 256 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:31,440 So yeah, I'm able to kind of like, if I have a true, true deadline where I'm like, no, 257 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,600 no, no, I really want to give this to this person at this event, then yes. 258 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,600 Right. 259 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,120 And if the, if it's somebody that you care about and you're excited about gifting it, 260 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,120 that's different. 261 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,720 So I'm not as, as like, oh, I have to have to knit this by Christmas for this coworker 262 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,160 that I'd rather not knit for. 263 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,160 I don't know. 264 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,160 What coworker am I knitting? 265 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,440 I'm just throwing things out there that people might arbitrarily. 266 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,920 I am a sole owner of a business. 267 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,120 I have no coworkers. 268 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,300 The coworkers are the dogs. 269 00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:01,360 You should knit them something. 270 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,240 You know, I do want to knit them sweaters. 271 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,240 You should just knit something for yourself. 272 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,880 See, like I'll have a Christmas party, a business Christmas party with myself. 273 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:10,880 Secret Santa. 274 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,000 And I'll give myself presents. 275 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000 I'll have a raffle. 276 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000 We'll do a raffle. 277 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,280 Listen, a secret Santa, no less than a hundred dollars. 278 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,240 Listen, cough up. 279 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,760 We're not doing cheap white elephant. 280 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,000 Come on, come on. 281 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,000 All secret Santa. 282 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,000 Just tell your husband, sorry. 283 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000 I use it was the rules. 284 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000 I couldn't go cheaper. 285 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000 I just, I, I'm the boss man. 286 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:37,000 You can tell him, Tina, you can tell him you won the raffle. 287 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,600 No, I need to get a nice gift. 288 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,320 I have to impress the boss. 289 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:47,680 The boss isn't going to be thrilled with something cheap. 290 00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:48,680 Got to get something nice. 291 00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:51,960 And apparently the boss is really into super fine Merino. 292 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,120 The boss would know if I got this from a big box. 293 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,120 They would know somehow. 294 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,120 Yes. 295 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,440 Somehow they would just glean it. 296 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,720 So back to monogamy. 297 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,760 Meg, are you, are you monogamous? 298 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,880 Are you a one, one project kind of gal? 299 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:09,880 No. 300 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,480 We'll just get that all the way. 301 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:19,120 I would honestly refer to myself as more of like a serial dater because I have this problem 302 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,600 where I can be monogamous when I settle on a project that I am enjoying. 303 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:30,480 I have this problem when I am trying to figure out what I want to knit next, where I cast 304 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,560 on a bunch of stuff and it's like, are you the one? 305 00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:35,920 Are you the one? 306 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,920 No. 307 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:37,920 Okay. 308 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,720 And eventually I do. 309 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,520 I go on a bunch of dates and for whatever reason, either the project isn't working or 310 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,680 the yarn isn't a good fit or for whatever. 311 00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:49,160 You guys just don't have the chat. 312 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,160 Nope. 313 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,160 We just, well the what? 314 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,160 The chat. 315 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,160 The chat. 316 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,160 What's the chat? 317 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,760 I haven't dated in a really long time. 318 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,280 That's from how people in the UK say that you have good conversation. 319 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,320 We have learned that from the love islands. 320 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,480 No, I do not have the chat. 321 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,680 I thought that was going to be like a Gen Z thing that I was going to have to learn before 322 00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:09,680 the fall. 323 00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:10,680 I mean, maybe, I don't know. 324 00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:11,680 Listen, I just finally got used to cap. 325 00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:18,680 I don't need to learn other words right now. 326 00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:19,680 Okay. 327 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,680 I just learned cap. 328 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,680 Okay. 329 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,080 But yeah, no. 330 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,360 So I try out a bunch of stuff. 331 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,440 So that's why I have so many like whips on Ravelry. 332 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,120 They're more in my like hibernating place. 333 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,040 And once it goes into hibernating, that's a short jump to frogged. 334 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,200 I'm not going to work on that again. 335 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,960 And it's if something is in my hibernating queue, it's not that I don't like it or that 336 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,600 I'm never going to knit it one day. 337 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,280 It's that something about it is not working right now. 338 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,380 The yarn isn't working. 339 00:14:52,380 --> 00:14:53,880 The gauge isn't working. 340 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,960 I'm just not in the right head space to work on it right now. 341 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:05,640 Once I settle on a project, I tend to be pretty monogamous depending on the situation. 342 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,240 I mean, if it's a jerk, you dump it. 343 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,240 Wow. 344 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,440 I mean, yes, that was aggressive. 345 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,880 No, I think it's hilarious. 346 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,680 I was more talking about I have I have my Calliope sweater, which I love. 347 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,560 I really am enjoying working on it. 348 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,560 It's a treat. 349 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,800 The yarn is gorgeous. 350 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,860 But Calliope doesn't do so well in warm weather. 351 00:15:26,860 --> 00:15:28,100 She's a cold weather date. 352 00:15:28,100 --> 00:15:29,320 She's mohair. 353 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,920 So in comes lovely stripes. 354 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,800 She wants to go, you know, tubing and skiing. 355 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,520 She's going to be she's going to be my cold weather date. 356 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,520 She's a snow bunny. 357 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:40,520 She's a snow bunny. 358 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,440 She's going to be great in the fall. 359 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,640 She's on hiatus right now. 360 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:52,280 While I have lovely stripes, who is a silk blend, lovely stripes loves the summer. 361 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,160 My hands don't mind working with lovely stripes in the summer. 362 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,120 They don't get all sweaty. 363 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:03,240 So we have a pretty monogamous relationship right now because we just get along well right 364 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,240 now. 365 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,240 I'm going to put this in her bag. 366 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,080 I will take her out when it gets cold. 367 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,360 Yes, I'm anthropomorphizing my knits. 368 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,800 I've never done that before. 369 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,160 It's kind of weird, but we're going to run with it. 370 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,160 You're all welcome. 371 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,000 This is turning into one of my favorite episodes. 372 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,880 I'm really enjoying this. 373 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,880 So yeah, long and short of it is I'm more of a serial dater. 374 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,560 When I when when the timing is right, I settle down. 375 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,440 I generally try to stay pretty monogamous. 376 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:35,400 Right now I'm a little polyamorous with my two knits, but Calliope is kind of just waiting 377 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,620 for it to get cold. 378 00:16:36,620 --> 00:16:39,600 You know who's married and goes to couple therapy every week? 379 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:40,600 Who? 380 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,600 Drea. 381 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:47,060 You're the only one for me right now. 382 00:16:47,060 --> 00:16:48,060 Even when you're fighting. 383 00:16:48,060 --> 00:16:52,080 Drea is a tried and true serial monogamist. 384 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,120 You want a loyal knitter to be making you as a project. 385 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,120 Drea is your gal. 386 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,120 Yeah, I'm the one. 387 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,160 No exceptions. 388 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,440 I actually get anxiety if I have too many whips. 389 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,440 And that's fair. 390 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,880 And I used to have a bunch of whips. 391 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:07,880 Socks. 392 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:08,880 Socks. 393 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,880 Yeah, socks. 394 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,560 I frogged a whole bunch and reclaimed the yarn. 395 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,560 It really was. 396 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:15,560 I bet. 397 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,080 But yeah, I can't I honestly can't handle having more than one whip every once in a 398 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,240 while. 399 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,560 And I know I did this last year. 400 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,560 I put down my sweater so I could do the first make along that we did. 401 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,440 The Celtic Myths shawl. 402 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,440 Yeah. 403 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,440 Yeah. 404 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:36,480 So I did put down my project so I could do that because I knew it was going to be faster. 405 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,360 But then I worked on that exclusively. 406 00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:40,520 And then I went back to my sweater exclusively. 407 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:41,520 Wow. 408 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,040 It must be like I never thought about this before. 409 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,600 Like, but that must make make alongs really tough. 410 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:48,880 Unless you time it right. 411 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,280 Like to finish one whip right. 412 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,240 I never thought about that before. 413 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,240 Yeah. 414 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,440 And I'm not going to lie. 415 00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,560 I have this make along deadline looming over me now. 416 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,680 So I'm trying. 417 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:03,680 I have. 418 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,440 Well, I have to like restart completely. 419 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,920 I have to pick a whole new pattern. 420 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:07,920 I haven't even done that. 421 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:08,920 Yeah. 422 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,840 You know, look, I tried to give a super long deadline. 423 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:12,840 Yeah. 424 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,000 I mean, I can do it. 425 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,720 I should be finishing this very soon. 426 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:17,720 Yeah. 427 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,720 You said a week. 428 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,000 So my teapot is really small. 429 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000 Yeah. 430 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,200 Like it is a very small teapot. 431 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:32,840 So making a snail cover for that should be like I am a dedicated monogamous knitter. 432 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:33,840 Yeah. 433 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:39,840 How do you guys keep track of like all your whips and when you decide like which one you're 434 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,400 going to be working on? 435 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,760 I mean, I already kind of said that I do mine kind of dependent on circumstances. 436 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:50,280 Well, whether is one attention span is another. 437 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:55,240 Sometimes I have like I don't mind like if the make along is like, OK, we're doing a 438 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,520 hat or a shawl or something. 439 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,520 I'm like, all right. 440 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:58,520 Well, I got this deadline. 441 00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,720 I don't mind deadlines. 442 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,080 They don't bother me. 443 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,080 And I think it's because I have so many at work that I have to keep track of. 444 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,440 It's just like, all right, that's another one. 445 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:06,440 I don't care. 446 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,480 They don't they don't bother me. 447 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,180 I don't mind putting my stuff down and doing a make along project. 448 00:19:13,180 --> 00:19:17,280 Sometimes I like having kind of it sounds terrible. 449 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:24,040 The excuse to to kind of cheat on my projects because it is like I said at the top of the 450 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,960 show, I start to get bored and I start to look at other stuff. 451 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,320 And sometimes it's like, OK, I'm going to do like a quick hat or something to take the 452 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,400 edge off because like Tina, that's what I'm feeling. 453 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,960 Stop stop with the snickering. 454 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:43,120 I see you stop making on Tondra's where there are none, ma'am. 455 00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:45,640 I don't know what you expect out of me. 456 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,240 I'm asking a lot. 457 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,920 It should be this. 458 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:54,200 No, but that that doesn't bother me. 459 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:59,640 I don't have a ton of project bags, so I keep track of them that way. 460 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,600 Like I think I only have about three or four project bags and I'm like, OK, this isn't 461 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,600 this one that's in that one. 462 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,640 And I usually keep them all in one bag. 463 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,160 So I always have them all with me. 464 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,160 And then I just take them out when I want to do them. 465 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,040 I keep the pattern in the bag and hope for the best. 466 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,520 Surprisingly, I have like a billion project bags. 467 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:21,520 You just like bags. 468 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:22,880 I do like that. 469 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,160 That's its own thing. 470 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:33,040 For me, I for a long time, I had a binder that had all of the patterns that I was working 471 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,040 on actively. 472 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,640 That was a big binder. 473 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,640 I know it. 474 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,420 I'm not the big, big one. 475 00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:41,800 That was all my patterns. 476 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:42,800 It was still big. 477 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,480 There's no it's a one inch. 478 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,480 Come on. 479 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,480 Oh, no, no, no. 480 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,480 The one inch. 481 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,480 It was maybe a half inch. 482 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,080 It was it was a tiny binder in terms of like binders. 483 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,360 And then my big one with the patterns is like a three inch. 484 00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:54,360 It's like massive. 485 00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:57,920 But I tried carrying the binder around. 486 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,440 The problem is I always left it somewhere and then I didn't have the pattern with the 487 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:02,440 projects. 488 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,080 I just stuff the project in the bag. 489 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,960 So pattern in the bag. 490 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,000 Hilariously, I have lost that binder. 491 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,680 I have no idea where it is. 492 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:15,520 So now I've just been putting the patterns into sleeves and not connecting them to anything. 493 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,760 And I have like a laptop sleeve in my backpack that I carry around. 494 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:20,760 And that's where these live. 495 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,720 Hey, that's what I'm doing. 496 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,860 I just take mine. 497 00:21:24,860 --> 00:21:25,860 No sleeve. 498 00:21:25,860 --> 00:21:26,860 Oof. 499 00:21:26,860 --> 00:21:29,240 It's like creased a billion times. 500 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:36,440 It's like the consistency now of used money. 501 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:37,840 It is it is well loved. 502 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:38,840 Yeah. 503 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,080 That way it is well loved. 504 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,680 Like I will never use this pattern again. 505 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,200 If I'm going to make this pattern again, I will print it again. 506 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:53,480 Yeah, I just I don't know why I just kind of get into this weird thrifty. 507 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,040 I don't know. 508 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,200 Well, that way. 509 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,400 Well, it's funny, too, because like one of these like I accidentally printed on card 510 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,400 stock. 511 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,400 Oh, God, I've done that. 512 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,400 It's obnoxious. 513 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,240 It's like really thick for no reason. 514 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,440 Anyway, but the binder thing is how I usually keep track. 515 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:14,400 Ravelry is always behind because I, you know, remember to log into Ravel projects thing 516 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,080 and my stash thing and like my stash thing is completely out of date right now. 517 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,160 My project thing is somewhat up to date. 518 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,240 I don't think it has all the new ones that I've just done. 519 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,080 I can't remember the last time I updated my Ravelry projects. 520 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,040 Yeah, it's just like I try to remember to do it. 521 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,040 If I finish, I definitely. 522 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,040 Yes. 523 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,040 Yes. 524 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:43,360 I don't like not the in progress or I honestly sometimes I like will finish it and that's 525 00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:45,200 when I add the project like entirely. 526 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,560 I don't even add it while I always I always do it right away because I get excited. 527 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,880 I'm like going to put it right in there. 528 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,760 But yeah, I'm my cue is a complete joke. 529 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,480 And then in terms of yeah, my cue. 530 00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,480 Yeah, forget. 531 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,080 I don't know what that is. 532 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,240 I haven't even looked at it in like, I don't know, five years. 533 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,160 I don't know. 534 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:16,120 I used to take my weekender bag for part of my stash and that's where I would keep all 535 00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:17,400 my projects. 536 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:23,040 And at one time I was trying to punish myself for making other projects by putting every 537 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,360 single whip that I had into the bag. 538 00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:30,640 So I remember that I knew I knew how many projects I actually had. 539 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,400 So I would stop making new ones. 540 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,000 I feel the weight. 541 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,000 Did it work? 542 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,000 So unhealthy. 543 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,000 Did it work? 544 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,160 No, because then I was like, wow, this bag sucks. 545 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,280 And then I was like, I went through it and I was like, I actually want to like maybe 546 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,520 work on three of these. 547 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,080 And then I was like, wow, I don't need this big of a bag to do that. 548 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:54,080 So I put my harem in my backpack now and so I'm with you wherever you go. 549 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,800 The funny part is, is I hear decisions. 550 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,840 Exactly. 551 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,640 The funny part is, is like, it's so Phil, like I have four right now with me. 552 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:03,640 Why? 553 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,360 Because I have four. 554 00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:10,400 And when I have to put, like I said, it has a laptop sleeve because when I do bring my 555 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,280 laptop out of the house, this is the bag I use. 556 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,880 So but even when I bring my laptop, I keep the bags in there. 557 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,260 So the backpack turns into like rock solid filled to the brim. 558 00:24:21,260 --> 00:24:25,360 Like I'm going on a hike through the mountains backpack. 559 00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:26,360 And you know what? 560 00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:27,920 When we go hiking, you don't even bring a backpack. 561 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:28,920 No, I don't. 562 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,920 I do not. 563 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:30,920 My favorite thing. 564 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:37,320 The backpack is not for actual moving, but it's for whips. 565 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:38,320 Yeah. 566 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,680 But the fun part is this is, this is a hiking bag. 567 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,880 Like it has all the pockets and stuff for hiking. 568 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,880 Only the best for your harem. 569 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,040 But my harem is just carried around with me everywhere. 570 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,920 Like you should have seen, okay, I felt actually really embarrassed the other day. 571 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:59,400 We went to the diner down in Middletown with my dad and I had my backpack with me and I 572 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,880 accidentally like when we got up for some reason, I was like, I don't have a bag. 573 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,000 And I got up to the, to pay and I left my backpack and I was like, wait a second. 574 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,920 I usually feel like a giant weight on me. 575 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:10,920 Why? 576 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:11,920 Where's my weight? 577 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,320 So I was like, oh, I had to go get my bag. 578 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:20,240 So I went back to the booth to go get my bag and this like older woman was just side eyeing 579 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:26,520 me the entire time, like just completely in shock of like the size of the heaviness of 580 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,520 my back. 581 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:28,520 Cause I'm like trying to get it out. 582 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:29,520 I'm like, oh, I'm going to have to get it out of the table. 583 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,320 Little does she know it's full of yarn. 584 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,320 You're like, I'm getting an advanced degree back off. 585 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,320 It's full of books. 586 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,320 Yeah. 587 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,320 I'm so educated. 588 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,680 Uh, and then I just like, I was yanking it out. 589 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,040 And then when I picked it up, she was still like, she was like staring right at me and 590 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,020 her table was like right in front of my booth. 591 00:25:45,020 --> 00:25:48,480 So I looked at her and I said, oh, you know, can't forget all my projects. 592 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,000 And she just, then she got even more confused. 593 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,360 And her face just kind of went, ah, and I just, okay, time to walk away. 594 00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:57,360 And I walked away. 595 00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:03,760 That woman is probably still going what in the world was in that bag. 596 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:04,760 It's a body. 597 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:12,160 Uh, I mean, you know, the other benefit, the other benefit of this backpack is that I can, 598 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,600 uh, you know, defend myself with it. 599 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,000 If at any point in time I need a weapon, it is a weapon. 600 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,000 It is solid. 601 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,640 I can absolutely knock somebody out if I throw this at their head. 602 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,560 Would you sacrifice your harem of whips? 603 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,280 They would say they 604 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:28,280 would. 605 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,720 My harem would protect me. 606 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:30,720 Absolutely. 607 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:31,720 Absolutely. 608 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:32,720 They love me. 609 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:39,200 Um, so this joke is getting out of hand. 610 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,800 No, it's not getting out of hand. 611 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:46,920 I am never going to not refer to my backpack as the, the holder of my harem. 612 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:53,800 Now, usually if I have multiple ones, they are in different bags and I know by what's 613 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,360 on the bags what I'm working on because I kind of coordinate them a little bit. 614 00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:01,840 Like my, like back when I was, I was working on a couple of things. 615 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:09,200 I had like my, um, copper colored shawl was in my autumn leaf bag and then I was doing 616 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,080 like some sort of hat and that was in my winter bag. 617 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,520 Um, so I kind of separate them like that. 618 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:15,520 Here's the thing though. 619 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,880 If I put that bag in a spot that I don't then see, uh, that bag disappears from, from, I 620 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,400 mean, it'll still be in the spot. 621 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:27,120 I left it, but in my brain, like it no longer exists and then I'll find it and I'll be like, 622 00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:28,920 oh yeah, I was working on this. 623 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,840 And then you open it and you try and decide, am I still working on this? 624 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,560 Because I forgot it existed for a while. 625 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,680 Like, is this just going to sit here or I'm actually going to work on it? 626 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:49,600 Um, but for the most part, I kind of, I tend to, when I do multiple projects, one is usually 627 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:57,000 a crochet and one is usually a knit and working on them is very dependent on which type of 628 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,400 needle or hook do I want to be using? 629 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,680 Like do I want to just be crocheting or do I want to mess around with needles? 630 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,240 Um, wow. 631 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,520 Yeah. 632 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:08,520 That's how I, that's how I do. 633 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:09,520 Sounds so violent. 634 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:10,520 Yeah. 635 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,520 Stabbing things or hooking things. 636 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,160 None of y'all are any good. 637 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:25,120 But that, that is generally how I keep track. 638 00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:30,760 And usually like it helps too if it, cause I do, I take so long to actually choose a 639 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,760 project. 640 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:37,000 Um, when I actually start, usually is something I'm pretty interested in finishing at some 641 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,000 point. 642 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,600 So hence the sweater. 643 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:40,600 Yes. 644 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:41,960 That in and of itself. 645 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:49,480 I think the most whips I've ever had is probably 24. 646 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:50,480 That I could not keep track of. 647 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,920 Garments, accessories, blankets, like it was the whole gamut. 648 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,320 That would stress me out. 649 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,920 That would stress me out. 650 00:28:58,920 --> 00:28:59,920 Two. 651 00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:01,200 As well. 652 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,200 Do you mean? 653 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,200 No. 654 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,200 Two is just the number two. 655 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,200 Oh, I was like, what? 656 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,200 Oh, now. 657 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,200 Okay. 658 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,200 So you, you have your max is two. 659 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,200 Yeah. 660 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,200 Two. 661 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:21,440 Like if it's a really big project and I want to, and I'm like doing a make-along and it's 662 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,040 a, it's a quickie, then you know, I'll do the quickie and then I'll go back to my long 663 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,640 term relationship. 664 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,640 But you don't feel good about it. 665 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:30,640 I don't. 666 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,800 Do you apologize to the longterm? 667 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:34,800 Sometimes yes. 668 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:35,800 That's fair. 669 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,800 So it makes me very nervous. 670 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,920 I have a question for you. 671 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:40,920 You knew it was going to be you. 672 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:41,920 Yeah. 673 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:42,920 Well, I mean, well, you looked at me. 674 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,480 So all of us are Tawdry. 675 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,220 So obviously it has to be for you. 676 00:29:48,220 --> 00:29:50,360 How do you deal with the boredom? 677 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,980 Because that's my main reason for why I start to kind of look the other way. 678 00:29:53,980 --> 00:29:58,140 How do you deal with the kind of like monotonousness of. 679 00:29:58,140 --> 00:30:06,760 So this is, this is actually my first project in a long time where I have gotten sidetracked 680 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:12,200 and that's why it's taking me so long to get this done, like normally, normally something 681 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:17,200 like this and something this size, I would have been done like months ago, but that's 682 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,720 just hasn't been working out for me. 683 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,980 And I don't think that it's that I'm bored with the project because I don't typically 684 00:30:22,980 --> 00:30:24,760 get bored with the project. 685 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,760 I usually don't get bored. 686 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:27,760 Usually no. 687 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:28,760 I'm jealous. 688 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,880 I usually pick a project that I know is going to keep my attention because otherwise I'm 689 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:39,640 just going to frog it and then do something else, which I've done before. 690 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,740 But if it's a project that I like and it's a pattern that I like, I have no problem holding 691 00:30:43,740 --> 00:30:45,080 my attention to it. 692 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:51,880 But lately it's just been like other things other than crafting that have caught my attention. 693 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,140 That's fair. 694 00:30:53,140 --> 00:30:58,160 The project itself holds my attention when I'm doing it, when I'm doing it. 695 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:03,920 What cracks me up is when I have a project that's so close to being done and that's when 696 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,880 I derail time to cast on something new. 697 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:07,880 I'm going to finish that. 698 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,120 It's going to be like a week and then it's like two years later and you're like, Oh yeah. 699 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,720 It was a long week. 700 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:13,720 No, I, yeah. 701 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:14,720 We're going to find off. 702 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,800 Like that is my stormy skyshall. 703 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:22,400 I honestly probably could get that done in a week if I like stuck with it. 704 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,400 Yeah. 705 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,760 But I just, I do two rows and then it's just not, it's not happening right now. 706 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,280 I do other stuff. 707 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,160 No, I just like plow through projects. 708 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,760 Typically I just do it. 709 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,560 Do it like sometimes I do it. 710 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,760 That's not completely out of the question for me. 711 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:44,440 It's just that I have to really like, I'm probably going to do that with this, but like 712 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,880 I have to be like really, really focused. 713 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,640 You got to really be into it and that's fair. 714 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:55,520 And it has to have like, yeah, I tend, honestly, the ones I tend to derail are projects that 715 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,300 are probably going to end up for me. 716 00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:00,560 That's the ones that get derailed the most. 717 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,520 Cause I can always make myself wait, but if I'm making projects for other people, those 718 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,360 are the ones I end up prioritizing. 719 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,860 And then I just, all of mine just derailed, derailed, derailed. 720 00:32:10,860 --> 00:32:17,640 And that's actually how I ended up with the 24 because like 20 of those were either garments 721 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,320 or shawls or like these large pieces for myself. 722 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:23,720 And then I lost my weight. 723 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:24,720 And then I was like, wow. 724 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,080 Um, these are all three acts and they don't fit me. 725 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,920 Um, so I'm going to just frog them all. 726 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,640 The only one I haven't frog is my cami because I don't have the heart. 727 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,120 I just can't do it. 728 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,320 That's all the cami. 729 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:39,320 I can't do it. 730 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,240 I can't do it. 731 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,360 I know it's way too big. 732 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,800 I just, I can't. 733 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:49,300 It's only because I know I had to cut the thread and at some point because of the way 734 00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:50,900 the top is constructed. 735 00:32:50,900 --> 00:32:54,120 And I'm like, no, I won't. 736 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,240 I'm going to, I'm going to figure that out. 737 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:02,400 And that one's also really close because once the body is done, it's just little straps, 738 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:03,680 like I cord straps. 739 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:04,680 Yeah. 740 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:05,680 Then I'm done. 741 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:06,680 Yeah. 742 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:07,680 There's no sleeves right there. 743 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,360 So I'm just like, woman. 744 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,520 I know. 745 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,800 And sometimes that's, that's really hard too. 746 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:18,340 When you're like, I either have to finish this or I feel like I need to finish this 747 00:33:18,340 --> 00:33:22,600 and getting the motivation to do that is really hard. 748 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,120 Like whether it's for a deadline or, or a case like that, where you're like, I don't 749 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,120 have a deadline. 750 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,520 I don't have to do this, but I just, for whatever reason in my head, I feel obligated to finish 751 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,160 it and that's, that could be really tough too. 752 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:41,640 Just getting that motivation when, when you are mentally done, but the project is not, 753 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:48,280 it can be hard just for whatever reason, either I'm, it's just not working for me or you know, 754 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,360 I've made the mistakes too many times and I'm like, you know what? 755 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,120 I'm all set for whatever reason. 756 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,840 I'm just like this, I don't have an interest in this anymore. 757 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:03,160 I am past the point now where I am going to do my hobby out of an obligation to finish 758 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,160 it. 759 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,680 If I don't want to do it, I'm not going to do it. 760 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:06,680 It's my hobby. 761 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:12,800 It's not my job and nobody is going to suffer if I don't finish a project that I am not 762 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,400 enjoying and I used to be a lot harder on myself of like, I have to finish this even 763 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,280 though I really hate doing it and I just don't do that anymore. 764 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,000 I'm like, this is, this is my hobby. 765 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,000 It's supposed to be fun. 766 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,000 It's fair. 767 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,960 And that's all the time we have for this week. 768 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,800 For additional content and
