00:00:41,280 I am doing the Arachne Shawl by Claire Slade. 15 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:50,360 I am using Plies and Hellhounds Penny in the colorway Nightmares and Flower Moon. 16 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,280 It's going to be orange and black. 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,240 And I am at My First Spider. 18 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,240 Yay! 19 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,840 That went fast. 20 00:00:58,840 --> 00:00:59,840 It did. 21 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:00,840 Wow. 22 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,760 This is actually only about three days of work. 23 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,760 Wow. 24 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,760 No, she flew through the first section. 25 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,760 That is really fast. 26 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:08,760 Yeah. 27 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,440 The first section is fast once you get a hang of it, but I just, I don't have, the only 28 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,160 time I've been finding it is with games lately. 29 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,160 Yeah. 30 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:21,080 Yeah, she was done with that first section like, what, a couple weeks ago almost, right? 31 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,080 Yeah. 32 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,360 And I've only worked on it like three days, like I said. 33 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,680 I watched three football games and did this and that was it. 34 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,280 And this week I've been having a sensory problem, so I'm not working on it today. 35 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,160 But I got a lot done and I'm very happy with the way it's coming out. 36 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,920 I love these colors and I like the way it feels. 37 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,880 Like it's, it's coming out really nice. 38 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:44,880 It looks very squishy. 39 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,880 Do you want to touch it? 40 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:46,880 I'd love to. 41 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,360 It's got, it's got cashmere in it. 42 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,640 Oh, it is kind of squishy. 43 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,640 Yeah. 44 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,200 It feels almost like a light brioche. 45 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,240 It feels almost double, like double knitted. 46 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,240 Yep. 47 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,240 It feels nice. 48 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,240 Very cool. 49 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,120 Well, it's got the stranded color work. 50 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,120 Yeah. 51 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,000 So it's going to be slick. 52 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,160 Meg? 53 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,200 I'm also working on my Matchy Make Along project. 54 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,520 It is, I always forget because she has two different designs. 55 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,360 It's Find Your Fade by Dre Renee Knits. 56 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,280 I am knitting it with Jess. 57 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,120 We're both doing the same one. 58 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,400 And we are using Critical Hit Dyes, the Wheel of the Year collection. 59 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:34,120 It was eight colors that we released last year in a subscription. 60 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,560 So I've already done Samhain and Yule and I'm about a, I don't know, quarter of the 61 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,240 way through with Imbulk. 62 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,320 I am having fun with it. 63 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,720 I mean it is like, the color is really what kind of makes it exciting because it is kind 64 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:46,720 of repetitive. 65 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,240 It's a lot of garter. 66 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,200 The lace is, the lace is interesting. 67 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,240 But kind of like the blending the colors is kind of fun and it's kind of neat because 68 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,320 at first I'm like, I don't know if these colors are actually going to blend really well. 69 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,800 But the way that she staggers them makes it really seamless. 70 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,960 So it's kind of hard to tell sometimes which where the colors end and where they begin. 71 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:08,960 It's really interesting. 72 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,960 So we're having fun. 73 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:11,960 It's looking good. 74 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,960 Well, I like it a lot. 75 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:14,960 Thanks. 76 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,440 I kind of can't wait to be like longer so you can see like more of the fade. 77 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,280 So even still with the length that you have, you can see it. 78 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,480 You can kind of see how it faded into the different colors. 79 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,520 So yeah, it's fun. 80 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,000 Yeah I'm familiar with the colorways. 81 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,560 So I can see where the colorways are, but it looks good. 82 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,560 I like that. 83 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,560 Thank you. 84 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,560 Gina. 85 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,360 I am also working on the arachnid shawl with Dreya. 86 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,320 I'm her matchy make-along partner. 87 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,360 The only difference in mine is, I'm not going to repeat everything she said, but the only 88 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:56,040 difference in mine is that I'm starting with black and she started with orange as the main 89 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,040 color. 90 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:03,400 So when my piece currently looks very black and hers looks very orange and then at the 91 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,400 end we flip. 92 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,400 Same shawl, but it's inverse. 93 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,400 Yeah, basically. 94 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,400 That is neat. 95 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,400 Yeah, it'll be fun. 96 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:15,760 And we'll be able to know which one belongs to who. 97 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,080 And I definitely am not as far as Dreya. 98 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,560 But I really like the way yours is coming out. 99 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,280 I like that black. 100 00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:26,920 It's really cool the way that you guys have the two different colors. 101 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:34,360 Yeah, I think she did like half, like she was at this when I was at like the tip. 102 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,080 It was just because I kept getting distracted. 103 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,240 I think it was during one of the games that San Fran was playing, so I was just completely 104 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,200 not paying attention to my project at all. 105 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,640 I got no horse in the game anymore, so it's really easy for me to. 106 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,960 Yeah, some of us not be invested. 107 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,000 It is what it is. 108 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Jess? 109 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,560 So, I mean, I am working on the find your fate as well, but I put that on hold for a 110 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,440 little bit because because I'm way behind her and she's trying to we're trying to do 111 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,440 it together. 112 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,400 But she knits a lot faster than me and I keep getting distracted. 113 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,560 So I'm taking it. 114 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,760 She's way ahead of me. 115 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,760 I love that we have the same problems here. 116 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:25,000 But I also had a different project, so I'm working on that now and I am doing the what 117 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000 is this called? 118 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,000 The Lamina wrap. 119 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,600 Yeah, Lamina wrap by Amber O'Brien. 120 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,800 In the Flowers of Hyrule Advent that we did. 121 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,080 And I'm more than halfway done now. 122 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,560 And it's actually is what I sit down and actually do. 123 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:42,560 It's a really quick knit. 124 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,240 Like I can get through a full stripe of color in about two hours. 125 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,280 So it's going pretty, pretty fast. 126 00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:54,120 And I want to try and finish that because I have another project I want to start when 127 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,240 it's done because I don't like having too many whips on at the same time because then 128 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,160 I get distracted and forget what I'm working on. 129 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,000 So I also only have like two main project bags that I like to use. 130 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,160 And you know, if they're full, I can't fill other stuff in them. 131 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,600 See, I just take them out. 132 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,320 No, and then I never find that. 133 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,320 And I'll lose them. 134 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,320 Exactly. 135 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,320 No, no, that's the point. 136 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,320 No, that's the point. 137 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,000 So where I want to finish these. 138 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,440 So, so they got to get finished. 139 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,920 It looks really good. 140 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:22,920 Thank you. 141 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,200 But yeah, so that's that is what I'm doing. 142 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,800 I'm like using this weird sorcery method of not having to weave in one end of a new color 143 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:32,800 work. 144 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,800 And it's working pretty well. 145 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,720 I have like little loops on it. 146 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:36,880 It's kind of cool. 147 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,880 But yeah, if you want to see pictures of our current projects or get more information about 148 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:46,160 part of my stash, please be sure to check out our website, part of my stash.com for 149 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,000 info, pics, patterns and yarns. 150 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,360 All right. 151 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,960 So it's been a little bit since we've spoken to all you folks because we took our yearly 152 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,960 little break. 153 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,120 And it was it was an all right break. 154 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,840 I feel like we all still had a lot to do this January anyway. 155 00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:10,040 So everything was on fire. 156 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,040 January's tough. 157 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,040 January is real tough. 158 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,760 January is not really like this was a tough January. 159 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:16,760 Relaxing month. 160 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,040 It was kind of a rainy month. 161 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,080 Everybody was sick. 162 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:26,240 Everybody was sick. 163 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,680 Everyone had stuff going on. 164 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,560 Pour one out for Pat. 165 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,000 Pour one out for Pat and his poor, his poor flu. 166 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,080 My coworkers got to the point where they're like, how's everybody doing? 167 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,680 I'm like, if one more person in my house gets sick, I'm just going to set the whole thing 168 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,440 on fire and walk away because I have every surface. 169 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,880 I have washed every piece of fabric like I don't know what else I can do at this point. 170 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,320 Everybody's sick. 171 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,680 So yeah, January, man. 172 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,680 It's over tomorrow. 173 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,680 We are in February. 174 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,680 Yeah. 175 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:57,680 Oh, thank God. 176 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,800 We will be in February. 177 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,800 Thank God. 178 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,040 I was looking at topics that I wanted to do. 179 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,220 And of course, it's February. 180 00:08:05,220 --> 00:08:09,520 So everyone thinks Valentine's Day and the thing that always pops up is the sweater curse. 181 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,520 I'm sorry. 182 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,520 I'm like, no, he does. 183 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:12,520 Right? 184 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,520 No, am I right? 185 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,520 It's love, it's love, but the sweater curse. 186 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,520 Love, boyfriends, but the sweater curse. 187 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:24,520 But I was like, okay, okay, wait, we have talked about the sweater curse before, but 188 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,600 I was like, you know, I wonder if there are other superstitions and stuff surrounding 189 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,120 yarn that isn't just the sweater curse, seeing that that's a thing. 190 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,240 So that's what I kind of looked into. 191 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,160 And I found a few which I thought were kind of fun. 192 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:45,720 And I also figured maybe we could see, because I know everyone has their actual own kind 193 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,680 of things that they kind of do. 194 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:51,920 I mean, I guess not everyone, but a lot of people have certain things that just in their 195 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,880 own head, they're like, no, I don't do this for this reason, or I do do this every time 196 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,200 for this reason. 197 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,040 So figured we'd talk about some of the ones that I found that were kind of fun. 198 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:11,420 And then also get into like maybe what anybody else does or has as their own personal superstitions. 199 00:09:11,420 --> 00:09:16,160 So they're like I said, the first one that always comes up because it's related to love 200 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,280 is the sweater curse. 201 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,520 Like I said, we've all gone into that before you're not supposed to do a sweater for your 202 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:31,360 significant other because before things are set in stone, because it means that they will 203 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,880 inevitably break up with you. 204 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:33,880 That is the curse. 205 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:34,880 I'm not saying that's what actually happens. 206 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,480 Did you know there's one for socks too though? 207 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:44,800 That supposedly if you similar curse, if you if you make your significant other socks, 208 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,880 it is it will encourage them to walk away from you. 209 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:49,880 Wow. 210 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,440 Yeah, I was like, oh, that's interesting. 211 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,720 That one I did not hear before. 212 00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,720 I feel like at this point, I'm pretty safe to make Frank some socks. 213 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,000 I don't think he would walk away even if I told him to. 214 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,640 I was looking at it and I'm like, I wonder why that's a thing. 215 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,480 But if you really think about it and if you're thinking like, okay, maybe it's like when 216 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,760 you first meet someone and you're like, oh, I'm going to make them a sweater and it takes 217 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,320 you a little while to make a sweater. 218 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,880 So maybe it's like, yeah, in the interim, you find out it's not going to work out and 219 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,880 you break up. 220 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,640 But so I feel like once you're together for a while, like you can see if it's going to 221 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:26,860 be safe or not. 222 00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:31,120 So what you're telling me is if I want someone to leave me alone, I need to make them a pair 223 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,120 of socks. 224 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,440 Guys, I made all of you guys socks. 225 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,440 It's meant to be. 226 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,440 You don't like us? 227 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,640 I gave all of you guys socks. 228 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,720 Actually, I gave all of you guys socks for my wedding and that didn't work out, but I 229 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,800 kept all of you guys. 230 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:52,240 So I feel like that's not really a real curse. 231 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,540 So I made my ex-husband two pairs of socks. 232 00:10:56,540 --> 00:10:59,140 So maybe there is something to go along with that. 233 00:10:59,140 --> 00:11:01,240 He got my first two pairs of socks ever. 234 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,880 You didn't even make a pair for yourself? 235 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,160 No, I made one sock that was a disaster. 236 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,520 I mean, like I did the I did the heel flap inside out. 237 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,280 Don't I don't even know how that happened. 238 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,280 That's impressive. 239 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,280 No, it really was. 240 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,280 Excuse me. 241 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,280 That's a design. 242 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,280 And then the toe. 243 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,600 You know how you're supposed to put this the decreases in the corners of the needles? 244 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,920 Yeah, I just whacked him wherever I wanted them. 245 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:28,920 So there were just decreases literally. 246 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:29,920 Yes. 247 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:30,920 That's a funky looking foot. 248 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,800 I still have that sock. 249 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:33,800 I love that sock. 250 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,880 It's ugly as sin, but I kept it because I was so proud of it. 251 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,400 I went on my foot and I was like, look at I never made it a partner. 252 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,880 I was like, look at my sock. 253 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:42,880 It's a sock. 254 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:43,880 It looks like a sock. 255 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,880 This is great. 256 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:45,880 It's functional. 257 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:46,880 It's a mess, but it's functional. 258 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,000 You know, it's funny that one sock was what prompted me to start making socks. 259 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,680 Hey, yeah, you looked at my sock. 260 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:53,680 I was so impressed. 261 00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:56,240 You were like, look at that. 262 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,240 But then I did. 263 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,240 I did make him a pair of socks. 264 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,840 And then about, I want to say like two months later, he was looking at my stash and he saw 265 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,320 some yarn and he was like, I really want socks made out of this. 266 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,600 I made another pair. 267 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,080 And we are no longer together for many reasons. 268 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,240 I really don't think the socks had anything to do with it. 269 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,400 And I will say that my second and third pairs were much better than that single one. 270 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,400 The socks didn't help. 271 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,400 Wait, well, if it's going with the curse, then the socks didn't help. 272 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,400 The socks did not help things along. 273 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,480 Maybe it's not so much like that it puts a curse on. 274 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,040 Maybe it just brings to the forebearer like if this should work. 275 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:36,160 I did, however, I did start making him a sweater when we were engaged. 276 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,160 It was nice of you. 277 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,160 I bought the yarn. 278 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,160 I cast on. 279 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,160 I got about halfway through the chest and then I got bored. 280 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,160 Fair. 281 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,160 But you started it while you were engaged. 282 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,160 You're right. 283 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,160 I did. 284 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,160 I did. 285 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,160 I did start it when I was engaged. 286 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,160 So I still call it a pair. 287 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,280 I still call it part of the sweater curse. 288 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,280 Still say it counts. 289 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,280 That's fair. 290 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,280 You made me a pair of socks. 291 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,560 I did make Jess a pair of socks that got destroyed the first time she wore it. 292 00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:01,560 That's not your fault. 293 00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:02,560 No, no, it is my fault. 294 00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:03,560 They destroyed the curse. 295 00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:07,400 No, I think it's honestly because I don't kitchen her well. 296 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,400 I don't. 297 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,400 I don't. 298 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,400 And I have this problem where my toes unravel. 299 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:12,400 So Jess. 300 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,400 My skin is acidic. 301 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,400 I mean, that's not your fault. 302 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,400 Yep. 303 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,400 No, it is. 304 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,400 So, so, but yeah. 305 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,280 So I thought that was that was interesting, though, because I had never heard of the sock 306 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,280 one. 307 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,280 But so I had to throw that one in there. 308 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,600 One of the other ones I read was don't start a new project on a Friday or it's doomed to 309 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,600 never finish. 310 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,600 Oh, that explains everything. 311 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,600 That's a lot of people say that. 312 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,600 There are a lot of people. 313 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:36,600 That's the reason. 314 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,600 That's why. 315 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,600 You know, I don't know. 316 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,200 It's not for any personal reasons or bad management skills. 317 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,200 No, no, no. 318 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,760 It's it's it's you're starting on Friday. 319 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:48,760 Dang it. 320 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:49,760 Dang. 321 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:50,760 I like some of these. 322 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,240 I tried to figure out like why people thought that this one. 323 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,160 I couldn't find a reason. 324 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,000 So maybe, you know, maybe this is you just don't start a project on a Friday, even if 325 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,200 you really want to. 326 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,200 Just don't start. 327 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,200 Just don't. 328 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,960 Just hold on. 329 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,960 I can't handle myself right now. 330 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,960 Oh, that's the reason. 331 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,960 You know. 332 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,480 It's just that one I found interesting. 333 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,960 But I figured everyone would like that because, you know, it's a great excuse for later on. 334 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,160 Like you're like, oh, no, it started out on a Friday. 335 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,320 That's the reason it's just can't do it now. 336 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,320 It's written in the stars. 337 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,680 Must be why I didn't finish my teapot cozy. 338 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,640 I'm so excited for that snail. 339 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,440 The instructions were really bad, though. 340 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,440 Oh, I hate that. 341 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,720 My pineapple one was really bad, too. 342 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,720 I shouldn't say bad. 343 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,320 It was just it was complicated. 344 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,600 No, mine was just bad. 345 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,480 It wasn't explained well. 346 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,520 And there's two two better ones on this one. 347 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:57,480 I feel like everyone will also enjoy, which is you're supposed to leave a mistake in your 348 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,480 work somewhere. 349 00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,480 I heard that. 350 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,480 And there's multiple reasons. 351 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,480 Leave a mistake. 352 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,960 Like you just, you know, you're like, oh, this is perfect, but let me just mess this 353 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:05,960 up. 354 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:06,960 Like, come on. 355 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,000 This is a thing in like a lot of different mediums. 356 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,320 Like it's not just in knitting and crochet. 357 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,520 Like this is a thing in art as well. 358 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:21,960 I mean, it said I want to say it's Michelangelo left, like actually put a chip into I forget 359 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,680 which statue it was because he said it was so perfect. 360 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,480 It was almost as if it were made by God. 361 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,960 So he made a chip in it because he didn't know much. 362 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,520 Well, that's why he put a chip in it. 363 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,320 So no, but that's that's part of why that's some people believe you're supposed to make 364 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,320 a mistake. 365 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,880 That's an Amish belief too, that you leave mistakes and things so you're not, it doesn't 366 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,360 make it look like you're trying to compete with God. 367 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:51,040 I'm going to go and say that I always follow this rule accidentally. 368 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,960 See that, but I don't have a single project. 369 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,400 It doesn't have some mistake in it. 370 00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:00,480 I mean, every time I lose my stitch count and just say F it, like it's, it's, you know 371 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:06,120 what I think to myself, I'm just trying, I'm just trying not to compete with God. 372 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,560 But here's the thing, because that's, that's one of the things. 373 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:15,480 One of the other things, um, and I guess it's, this is more from an Irish superstition is 374 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,700 when whatever you are working on, you put a piece of your soul into, so you leave a 375 00:16:19,700 --> 00:16:21,880 mistake that your soul can escape out of. 376 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:22,880 So you're not buying it. 377 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,040 That was an Irish thing. 378 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,320 So you're not binding yourself into the project. 379 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,520 You leave a mistake to get out. 380 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,640 There's also one also in the Irish that's like, if you're not afraid for your soul escape, 381 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,840 there's also to keep the faith from getting in there and messing stuff up. 382 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,960 Like there's, there's a bunch of different reasons why they say leave a mistake in your 383 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:42,960 work. 384 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,760 I just think like plenty of people had reasons why, you know, when, you know, that one guy 385 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,360 points out the mistake, you're like, oh yeah, that's on purpose. 386 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,360 That's for God. 387 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,360 That's for God. 388 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,400 They don't steal you away. 389 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,800 You ungrateful swine. 390 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,960 I know when you said, when you said mistake, like, so you leave a piece of your soul and 391 00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:00,960 then you make a mistake. 392 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,440 I'm like, because your soul's mistake. 393 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,560 No, don't let your soul escape. 394 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:05,560 God. 395 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,560 No, no, no. 396 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,640 I think I'm going to say, I'm going to do, I'm doing this for God for every little thing. 397 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,640 And everyone's going to say, Oh, you're, you're religious. 398 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,640 No, no, no, no. 399 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,440 I'm just, you know, I'm not perfect. 400 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,320 And if I'm perfect, you know that I'm God. 401 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,720 So I don't want to like get too ahead of myself. 402 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,080 Yeah, no. 403 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:27,800 So, so I, I just, I feel like we all just make mistakes anyway. 404 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,920 Like it's so hard to not make a single mistake. 405 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,680 I'm sure it was like a turn of phrase. 406 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,640 Someone told someone when they pulled up their blanket and there was just holes everywhere. 407 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,640 They were like, no, that's good. 408 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,720 Look at all the wonderful things you did. 409 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,800 Like for all the souls to escape. 410 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:43,800 Yeah. 411 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,680 I think at that point you're pushing it. 412 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,320 Like it's supposed to be one guy. 413 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:54,440 I feel like it was a response to somebody who just couldn't help themselves, but to 414 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,680 point out, Oh, look, this is a mistake here. 415 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,640 Well, it's for God. 416 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,640 Yeah. 417 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,000 Just, just to like shut them up. 418 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,760 Can you stop trying to constrain my soul? 419 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,760 It's for my soul to leave. 420 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,680 No, but I thought it was cute because I was reading some, and someone commented and they 421 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,200 said they're one of their grandmothers actually did that and they would somewhere in the shoulder 422 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,120 of like a sweater would pearl two stitches together instead of knit. 423 00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:20,280 So it's like, it was hidden, but it was there. 424 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,280 I like that. 425 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,800 And they knew that it was like a meant mistake. 426 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,760 And I was like, Oh, that's kind of cute. 427 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,320 And it's also like looking back on it and your family are like, Oh, this was definitely 428 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:30,680 made by grandma. 429 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,760 Like, look, there's a little that's like, I thought that was neat. 430 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,520 Like almost like a little trademark. 431 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,520 Yeah. 432 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:38,520 That's cute. 433 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,520 I love that. 434 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,280 My kids and grandkids will know which ones were made by me because they're not finished. 435 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,280 All the nine weeks. 436 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,280 Stop starting them on Friday. 437 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,520 Is he going to get them? 438 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,040 Friday gets me every time, man. 439 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,040 Oh God. 440 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,920 This is really, this is really good, Jess. 441 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,000 I'm enjoying learning about. 442 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,960 I thought they were finding out all the reasons why this isn't working out. 443 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:04,960 There were like two more. 444 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,320 I found one of them was another one, which I was like, and this one just spoke to me 445 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,320 because I took theater classes, but you're not supposed to knit on stage. 446 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,680 And here's the thing with that. 447 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,160 And a lot of, I'm not sure the exact reason with why the knitting on stage. 448 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,680 The only thing I can kind of think about is like when this superstition was made was probably 449 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,720 when people were using a lot of straight needles and straight needles hanging out backstage 450 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,480 in the dark can be kind of dangerous. 451 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,920 Also make a ton of noise if you drop one backstage. 452 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,640 So I think it kind of something like that probably came about the same reason, like 453 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,840 the reason why it's unlucky to whistle on stage or everyone's like, you know, you're 454 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,200 inviting like demons and stuff. 455 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,780 The actual reason for that is back in the day before headsets, the stage crew used whistles 456 00:19:49,780 --> 00:19:51,160 to tell them what to do. 457 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,220 And a whistle could either mean like they'd do something silly, like end the scene before 458 00:19:55,220 --> 00:19:59,920 they should or do something dangerous, like drop a set on stage. 459 00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:05,240 So, um, so it's probably something more related to that, but I thought that was kind of interesting 460 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,160 because again, it speaks to my heart being backstage and let me tell you as a stage manager, 461 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:15,280 I would not want needles like clanking around on stage when we're trying to have a moment 462 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:21,600 or you know, here in the like, well, they're supposed to be like a break or a beat or you 463 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,520 know, something that could be annoying. 464 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,520 Annoying. 465 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,120 So it was probably something like that, but yeah, they, you know, got to add that luck 466 00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:32,760 thing to get actors to actually listen to them. 467 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,860 Well, I was just thinking to myself, that is why actors look so horrible pretending 468 00:20:37,860 --> 00:20:42,880 to knit because they can't do the actual knitting because then it's bad luck. 469 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,560 I feel like most doctors just don't put in the effort. 470 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,840 I'm making excuses for any of that. 471 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,680 And for anyone who is actually like acting and they have to do knitting and whatnot on 472 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:55,680 stage. 473 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:02,160 All of these curses somewhat get canceled out except for saying McBee when it's written 474 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,400 into the actual script. 475 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,480 Like if the script says you're supposed to do it, the only one that you're still supposed 476 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,880 to be careful with is saying McBee. 477 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,880 No, they're all curses, Jess. 478 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,480 They're all curses. 479 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,600 No, even, even if it's in the script, always curse. 480 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:26,760 No, just McBee man, always curse, curse on you, curse on your family, curse on your cow. 481 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,160 Only McBee man, you just, you gotta, you gotta do the whole hold your breath when you get 482 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,040 off stage every time you have a scene with that. 483 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,640 Ask me how I know. 484 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,240 We had someone fall through a trap door. 485 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,240 It was bad. 486 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,240 He was okay. 487 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,840 He actually, it was weird adrenaline rush. 488 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,360 This guy, he like fell through the trap door, which we had it opened in years. 489 00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:44,360 It was funny. 490 00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:46,160 We opened it to do the play. 491 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:52,160 In our first run of it, he backed up and fell into the trap door and there was a moment 492 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,560 of like, Oh my God. 493 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,200 And I don't know. 494 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,400 It had to be the adrenaline. 495 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:01,720 This dude like just sprung up out of this trap door, which was a good like seven, you 496 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,840 know, feet down with like a little bench in there so you could get up. 497 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:12,120 So he had to jump at least four feet and he did somehow jumped out of this trap door, 498 00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:16,800 landed on stage and just went straight into his lines as if nothing happened. 499 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,960 And everyone is like, okay. 500 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,040 And then the call to fire the next scene and we had to stop the show for a little bit anyway. 501 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:29,080 But you know, I'm just saying you just don't say McB without doing the thing. 502 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,600 I actually didn't know about the hold your breath thing at all. 503 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:33,600 Yeah. 504 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,560 There's like, you're supposed to hold your breath and I forget what you're supposed to 505 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:37,740 do something when you do it. 506 00:22:37,740 --> 00:22:41,280 And it's real quick because it's meant for you to go backstage and do it like right at 507 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,840 the end of the scene if you say his name. 508 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,680 But it is a thing that you can do because you're not supposed to say his name. 509 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,680 It's the cosplay. 510 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:51,680 I know. 511 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:52,680 All right. 512 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:53,680 Interesting. 513 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,160 What's the last one? 514 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:01,200 So the last one is actually a cute one, which is just saying if Mittens knitted in summer 515 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,200 will be warm and strong. 516 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,860 And I guess the idea behind that is if you manage to knit it in the summer, it's going 517 00:23:08,860 --> 00:23:13,360 to take in all of that summer heat and transfer it to the mittens. 518 00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:18,680 It doesn't make much sense if you're knitting like ornate mittens to start them in winter. 519 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:19,680 Odds are you won't finish them. 520 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:20,680 That's fair. 521 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:21,680 That's a good point. 522 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,680 Or you'll rush them. 523 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,280 Or you'll rush them because your hands are so cold. 524 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,480 You need them faster. 525 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:32,080 So yeah, summertime you can take your time and really, really get nice mittens done. 526 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,080 Yeah. 527 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,080 I've never knitted mittens. 528 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,960 So no, and they're supposed to be like another connection. 529 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,680 Like if you gift the mittens, like that keeps a part of the person who gifted them to you 530 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,120 with you. 531 00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:48,840 But if you shake the hand of a person who is also wearing mittens, like the love of 532 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,400 that person gets transferred through the mittens. 533 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,680 So that's kind of cute. 534 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:59,480 So yeah, that was, I was like, I don't know if that was added on or if that was part of 535 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,480 the original one, but I was like, that's interesting. 536 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,480 That's an interesting thought of it. 537 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:04,840 So I'm like, what are you going to do? 538 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,000 Shake off your mittens to shake? 539 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000 Like, or it's like, what, how? 540 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,000 No, you pass it along. 541 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,000 Are you passing? 542 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,000 Passing the love. 543 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,800 Those are the main ones that I found. 544 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:20,000 And then like I said, of course everybody kind of, I know a lot of people believe in 545 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,640 the, in the sweater curses and whatnot. 546 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,920 And I have, I have a random one. 547 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,080 I don't know if it's a thing, but it's a rule I have for myself. 548 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,440 And that's if I make three mistakes in a row, I'm out. 549 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,240 Like it's time to put it down. 550 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,240 You know what? 551 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,240 I think that's fair. 552 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,880 So it's like, I make one and then the next stitch I make another, or like within the 553 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,640 next two or three stitches, I make another. 554 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:51,800 I'm like, okay, and we're going down and it is time to stop knitting today. 555 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,160 But yeah, I don't know if that's a curse or, but it's definitely a rule that I follow. 556 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,400 I think it's definitely a sign that you're like, it's not that it's maybe not the wrong 557 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,440 project, but it's definitely not the right project for right this second. 558 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:04,440 Yeah. 559 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,440 Maybe the wrong time. 560 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:10,720 And maybe in an hour it will be the right project, but it is not the right project for 561 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:11,720 this minute in time. 562 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,000 So time to, time to move on to something else. 563 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,520 F up the three, then make your hands free. 564 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:20,520 That's pretty good. 565 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,520 That was poetry right there. 566 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,520 I love it. 567 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,520 Write it down. 568 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:24,520 Good job, Dr. Seuss. 569 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,520 No, well they're doing the curse things. 570 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:26,520 Oh, your mittens are warm. 571 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,680 It's I got to, you know, there you go. 572 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,200 I have a new curse or blessing, curse blessing. 573 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,200 I don't know. 574 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,040 I did the same thing when I was writing my papers for college, except it was more like, 575 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,520 if it takes me more than 10 minutes to write a sentence, it's time to put it down. 576 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:49,440 Like if I am so tired that it is taking me this long to put words on paper, we're done 577 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,720 because I, the rare occasions where I was like, I'm going to push through that. 578 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,440 I would then open my computer the next day and be like, what drunk individual wrote my 579 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,040 last three paragraphs? 580 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,240 Good for me. 581 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:06,520 I mean, honestly, like 10 PMU and 10 AMU are two very different people. 582 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,520 I don't have a 10 PM me anymore. 583 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,520 Oh no, 10 PM me is in bed. 584 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,280 I was going to say, I don't see 10 PM anymore. 585 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,960 I get up at five. 586 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,560 So I do not get up at, I do not go to bed at 10. 587 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:24,280 The only time I'm up that late is for the late football games during the season. 588 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,960 I don't even make it that late anymore. 589 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:26,960 I can't do it. 590 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:27,960 No, man. 591 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,360 I'm probably still knitting. 592 00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:33,200 I'm just like zombie, like total zombie face. 593 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,200 And I'm like, why am I doing this? 594 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,880 You need a good garter stitch project for that. 595 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,880 Yeah. 596 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:44,800 Well, here's me with that day lily shawl that I've been, I've been frogging and frogging. 597 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:50,480 I'm going to try it like during the day, not on a Friday in the summer. 598 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,440 What else do I have to do? 599 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:57,320 Not for anybody that I love. 600 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,600 When you're home alone and there's nothing going on. 601 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,080 Make sure the owls are facing the right way. 602 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,360 Put on some light music and just chill. 603 00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:08,360 Yeah. 604 00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:09,360 That's, that's the thing though. 605 00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:16,160 There are some projects you just cannot do when you're distracted. 606 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:22,960 I have done the first 30 rows of that day lily shawl at least eight times so far and 607 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,480 have ripped it out. 608 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,440 You know, when you got to do that, you got to put something on the TV that you have seen 609 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:28,440 a dozen times. 610 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:29,440 Yeah, nothing new. 611 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,440 Yeah. 612 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,920 That's how I am with color work too. 613 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,120 I cannot watch anything new. 614 00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:38,440 That's when I put like Downton Abbey on or something I've seen a million times and I'm 615 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:39,440 like, cool. 616 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,440 I don't even need to look up. 617 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:41,440 I know what's happening. 618 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,520 I honestly think it's the DPNs. 619 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,800 Like I'm not, cause you have to do, there's a lot of the rows are like yarn over knit, 620 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,800 yarn over knit. 621 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,160 And I'm like, every time I do that with DPNs, I lose a yarn over or I do an extra or a tar. 622 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,040 Can you get a nine inch cord? 623 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,720 Yeah, it's time. 624 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,280 I just need it in that size. 625 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,280 I have it. 626 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,200 I have thicker ones like I have eights and tens that are in the little nine inch. 627 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,640 Get the nine inch cord because then, then you don't have to worry. 628 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,520 I'm the same way. 629 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:09,520 Yeah. 630 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,320 Because God forbid a yarn over falls off the end. 631 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,320 It's like, yeah, I'm all done. 632 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,320 I'm done. 633 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,320 This isn't happening anymore. 634 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:20,600 Like, no, I can't, I can't do like tiny work in the round on DPNs. 635 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,600 It's just not me. 636 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:22,600 Yeah. 637 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:23,600 Not a thing. 638 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:24,600 I do think it's the needles. 639 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:29,480 I don't think it's the, but you know, what, what's the curse with the, you know, DPNs 640 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:34,400 in your hands and you're gonna, you know, be really sad in the sand. 641 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,400 I don't, I have no idea. 642 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,800 We all know you just got to stop starting them on a Friday. 643 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:41,800 It's beautiful. 644 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:42,800 It's really it. 645 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,840 Listen, this is off the cuff. 646 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:46,840 Okay. 647 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,920 Imagine what happens when I actually sit and like practice. 648 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,800 If you guys are listening, these are all going to be on t-shirts. 649 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,680 No, I hope not. 650 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:58,680 Too late. 651 00:28:58,680 --> 00:28:59,680 Oh God. 652 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:00,680 I don't know. 653 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:05,520 My, my thing is, and I'm kind of going against it right now because I have two projects 654 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:12,400 of the same kind, but I usually don't have two projects of the same, um, method going 655 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,400 at the same time. 656 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,720 No, I'm the same way. 657 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:21,800 Like I usually don't like doing that crochet or an it and a felt or, oh, see, I usually 658 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:26,000 don't have like two, like two shawls or two hats. 659 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,360 Like I'd rather have like a complicated project and an uncomplicated project. 660 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,360 That's fair. 661 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,320 I do like having one and one of these. 662 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,240 So like to fulfill different needs. 663 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,240 Yeah. 664 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,880 I have none of those, but I'm like, what's the point if I'm doing like one cabled hat? 665 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,840 I'm not going to cast on a second cabled hat. 666 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:41,840 That's stupid. 667 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,880 Like just finish one cabled hat and then do the other one. 668 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:50,800 This doesn't actually stop me from doing anything, but if I am winding the yarn and I get yarn 669 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,880 barf, I immediately assume that this project is cursed. 670 00:29:54,880 --> 00:30:01,800 I'm going to do it anyway, but I'm like, this is nature's way of telling me this is not 671 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,680 going to go the way I want it to. 672 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,040 And that's not like, I can't even say that like that's been proven right. 673 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,840 It hasn't been because I have had yarn barf like you wouldn't believe. 674 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,500 And my method of dealing with yarn barf is to deal with it for about three seconds, then 675 00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:21,160 yell for Jess and then walk away while she untangles it because she likes to untangle 676 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,160 it. 677 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,160 I don't. 678 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,840 But I'm always like, this yarn is cursed. 679 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,160 This project is cursed. 680 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,700 The universe is telling me not to knit this, but then I do it anyway. 681 00:30:30,700 --> 00:30:32,720 So it's not a very productive curse. 682 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,240 Is this when you're pulling from a cake? 683 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,040 No, this is just when I'm winding it. 684 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,040 Oh, just actually physically winding. 685 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,040 No, no, no, no, no. 686 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,360 I'm not talking about like pulling out yarn barf. 687 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,600 I'm talking about like when I am caking it. 688 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,600 And it barfs on the... 689 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:43,600 Yeah, it barfs on the... 690 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,600 And then I'm just like, clearly... 691 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,600 It's not meant to be. 692 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,160 It's not meant to be. 693 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,000 You know, I should, you know, my daylily shawl yarn definitely barfed while I was winding 694 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,000 it. 695 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,800 Nothing makes me angrier here. 696 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:57,800 You know what's really funny too? 697 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,160 Because I used to be like, God, why didn't the dyer fix this? 698 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,160 What is going on? 699 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,720 And I was like, why aren't they fixing that? 700 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:10,400 And now like I wind my own yarn and I'm like, stupid dyer, why didn't you fix this? 701 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,400 And it's like, and it's ours. 702 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,920 And I know in theory that's not even a thing, but I did. 703 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,920 I used to be like, oh my God, like why are skeins like this? 704 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,440 Why don't they just cake them? 705 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,200 Like why don't they just mail them in cakes? 706 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,080 Da da da da da. 707 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,080 Oh my God. 708 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,680 My favorite is still, you'll call me in and I'll like just pick up the yarn and you're 709 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:28,680 like, do you just want to cut it? 710 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,680 And I'm like, why did you even call me in here? 711 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,040 Let's just call it. 712 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,680 Let's let this 200 yards go. 713 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,480 We're just going to use the other two. 714 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,560 You cut it and then you roll the other one and then you have like the big cake and look. 715 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,520 Oh, so just pieces. 716 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:52,920 Let me tell you something about me that you probably already know, but you know, I don't 717 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,160 have patience, patience is I have patience with other people. 718 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,000 I have no patience with myself. 719 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,880 I have patience all day long for my students, but when it comes to me not getting something 720 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,560 right on the first try, oh no, absolutely. 721 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,720 The incompetence is just astounding. 722 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,000 Just cut it and be done with it. 723 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,080 Like I can't, I have no patience with myself. 724 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,000 So yeah, no, she'll come in and I'll be like, I'm just going to cut it. 725 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,000 She's like, why? 726 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,000 It's not that bad. 727 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,000 So stupid. 728 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000 I'm not proud of it, but it's me. 729 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,400 I have no patience with myself. 730 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,600 Well, I'm just like, if you're going to do it, do it before you call me in. 731 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,280 You know, I'm not going to let you just cut it. 732 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,760 If you say, do you cut it before you call me in? 733 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,960 They're like, I'm not going to say anything. 734 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,960 No, but then you'll see it and be like, why'd you do that? 735 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,960 Why'd you cut it? 736 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,960 It was right here. 737 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:46,040 God, I actually don't really believe in any of the curses. 738 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,760 I kind of just like do whatever I want. 739 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,000 I just do what I want. 740 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,840 If something bad is going to come of it, like whatever, I'll just cross that bridge when 741 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:54,840 I get to it. 742
