1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,560
I'm Drea.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:02,400
I'm Meg.

3
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:03,220
I'm Tina.

4
00:00:03,220 --> 00:00:04,320
And I'm Jess.

5
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,160
And this is Pardon in My Stash.

7
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:14,920
Welcome to Pardon My Stash,

8
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,020
a podcast about creating within the fiber arts

9
00:00:17,020 --> 00:00:18,340
and how awesome it is.

10
00:00:18,340 --> 00:00:19,600
Yes!

11
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,600
Before we get started with this week's topic,

12
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,280
let's find out what our people are working on, Jess.

13
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,160
I am still-

14
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,000
Oh, I like that.

15
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:29,840
Thank you.

16
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:30,660
Thank you.

17
00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:35,120
Um, working on Nimue, a crochet blanket.

18
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,820
I'm working on the middle part.

19
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,280
I had a vague idea of the way I wanted the colors to go,

20
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,280
and I've been kinda changing it up

21
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,080
because I did it terribly on paint.

22
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,320
And I'm like, mm, I'm gonna switch it up.

23
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,560
So we're kinda going with it.

24
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,640
But Dreya likes it, and I like it,

25
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,220
so I feel like that's going pretty good.

26
00:00:52,220 --> 00:00:53,060
Is it soft?

27
00:00:53,060 --> 00:00:56,480
I said it's just a rogue base, so it's merino nylon,

28
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,540
but it's fun, and there's sparkly parts,

29
00:00:59,540 --> 00:01:01,320
and there's other colors.

30
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,720
Wow.

31
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:03,680
Yeah.

32
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,680
Um, I finished the Lost Souls shawl,

33
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,380
which is a mini shawl for my daughter,

34
00:01:09,380 --> 00:01:12,200
because I ran out of yarn and didn't feel like doing more

35
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,600
because it's almost Halloween.

36
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,440
So.

37
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,040
It's got faces.

38
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,040
It does have faces, and it's blocking,

39
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,960
and I'm blasting it with heat right now,

40
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:22,640
so it'll be ready for tomorrow,

41
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,440
because I totally finished it only about like four hours ago.

42
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,800
Dude, and she's so pumped to wear it

43
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,640
with her Halloween costume.

44
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:28,480
Oh, she is, she's so excited.

45
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,320
She's all excited about it.

46
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:31,160
So.

47
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,000
It's gonna go well with it.

48
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,080
So I'm gonna go to check on it tomorrow,

49
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,680
make sure it has time to dry.

50
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,200
But yeah, so I finished that one.

51
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,200
I'm working on this one, and I'm using,

52
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,320
well, I already said I'm using Critical Hit Die's

53
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:50,320
rogue base and sparkly base, and in assorted colors.

54
00:01:51,140 --> 00:01:54,720
This one's got Vishka and Morganis and Silver Dragon,

55
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,560
and natural.

56
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,320
Natural colors.

57
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,160
Dreya?

58
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,560
I have literally nothing.

59
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,400
I see that.

60
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,600
I have nothing.

61
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,720
I haven't cast on the Bolero that I wanted to do.

62
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,480
I didn't cast on the shawl that I wanna do.

63
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:13,680
And I think it's because over the past like couple months,

64
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,680
I've been, well, I guess I've been really stressed

65
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,680
waiting for like answers from my doctor

66
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,160
about like a diagnosis.

67
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,600
Everything's great.

68
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,340
But that waiting period, like once I finished the project

69
00:02:31,340 --> 00:02:34,040
that I was working on, I had nothing else.

70
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,240
And now that I have gotten good news,

71
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,480
I know, I'm very happy that it's good news.

72
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,720
I'm getting caught up on all the things

73
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,040
that I have been neglecting in my personal life,

74
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,320
like cleaning.

75
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,480
Yeah, that's fair.

76
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,480
Yeah, so I've been doing like the deep clean

77
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,920
of my living space and getting laundry done

78
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:02,600
and putting things away and all that good stuff.

79
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,560
And that's really been taking up a lot of my time.

80
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,840
So I will be casting on.

81
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,220
I still haven't fixed my measurements yet.

82
00:03:11,220 --> 00:03:12,520
I feel like I'm in a better space

83
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,380
to actually work on that now.

84
00:03:14,380 --> 00:03:16,200
So probably by the next time we record,

85
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,560
I'll have something.

86
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,220
And I'm looking forward to that.

87
00:03:19,220 --> 00:03:20,060
Meg.

88
00:03:20,060 --> 00:03:22,400
I am working on Cala still.

89
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,800
I have not actually, that's a lie.

90
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,240
I've doubled it since last week.

91
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,280
You just can't tell.

92
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,340
You can tell.

93
00:03:29,340 --> 00:03:30,180
Can you?

94
00:03:30,180 --> 00:03:31,700
Yeah, oh yeah.

95
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:33,920
So I've been working on this super sporadically

96
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:35,920
and it's mainly been because I too,

97
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,360
like it just my job is stressing me out.

98
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,560
And everything is, a multitude of things are stressing me out.

99
00:03:44,060 --> 00:03:45,400
To the point where like I get home

100
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,520
and maybe you guys can understand this.

101
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,320
You're like all day, I cannot wait to sit down

102
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,140
with my knitting.

103
00:03:51,140 --> 00:03:52,520
I can't wait to get some knitting done.

104
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,920
And then I'm on the couch and I'm like,

105
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240
you know what's gonna be more fun than knitting?

106
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,160
Doom scrolling.

107
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,520
I was just gonna say that literally.

108
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,720
So like the last,

109
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,080
I honestly hadn't picked this up since Saturday.

110
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,320
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, I did not.

111
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,000
I did not knit a single stitch like at all.

112
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,400
So I'm kind of trying to get more into it

113
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,640
because I do enjoy it.

114
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,460
It's very nice.

115
00:04:16,460 --> 00:04:17,320
It's very meditative.

116
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,000
It's like the squishiest fabric ever, which is very nice.

117
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,960
But it's just a lot of stuff going on right now.

118
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,280
So I've been doing more doom scrolling

119
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:28,960
than I've been doing actual knitting.

120
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:29,800
Which is-

121
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,600
Oh, I wish I wasn't like that.

122
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:33,440
I feel you.

123
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,760
Sometimes it's like I catch myself like looking at my phone

124
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,800
and I'm like, no, I'm supposed to be knitting right now.

125
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,520
Well, and that's the frustrating thing too

126
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,180
because you spend the entire day looking forward to it.

127
00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:46,720
And you're like, wow, I can't wait to get back to my project

128
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,800
and I'm gonna get so much done

129
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,840
and this is what I've been looking forward to.

130
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:53,240
And then you get to the end of the day and-

131
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,960
And you tell yourself you're gonna scroll

132
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,940
for like 10 minutes just to like,

133
00:04:57,940 --> 00:05:00,240
just to ease into the rest of the evening.

134
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,040
And then all of a sudden it's bedtime.

135
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,040
Well, you know what the kiss of death has been honestly

136
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,080
is that right before bed,

137
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,920
our kid wants to do a cuddle puddle

138
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,680
where we all get into our bed together and we snuggle

139
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,480
and we'll watch like reels on Instagram

140
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,400
and mainly cat videos, cause that's what she's into.

141
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,400
And then she goes to bed, but now I'm in bed.

142
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,360
I am also in the bed and I'm really comfy at this point

143
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,160
and I'm in pajamas and the urge to get it so funny

144
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,280
because literally every night like we'll put her to bed

145
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:38,060
and I'll just kind of climb back into bed

146
00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:39,880
and Jess will look in the room and be like,

147
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,840
oh, not coming downstairs again tonight.

148
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,160
We're all, this is what we're doing.

149
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,080
So I really have got to break out of the cycle

150
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,440
and I have to stop going to bed early

151
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,680
and then waking up in the middle of the night

152
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,000
and doom scrolling some more.

153
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:52,840
It's just, it's not-

154
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:55,520
It's gonna be so hard because now it's daylight savings.

155
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:56,360
Oh my God, no.

156
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,440
The only good thing about that is because it's October,

157
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,040
all my indie horror players are playing all the indie horror

158
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,840
so I've just been catching up on that

159
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:08,040
while I knit watching some horror games.

160
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,040
I forgot about daylight savings, truly.

161
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,160
I need the womp-womp.

162
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,400
Womp, womp, womp, womp.

163
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,600
I can't do this for five months, guys.

164
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,800
Ugh, it's the worst.

165
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,740
Tina, what are you working on?

166
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,160
I am still, I am still working on the slip on your shoulder

167
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,080
knit for Blame the Knots

168
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,480
and I'm using Critical Hit Dyes, Drew DK

169
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,080
in Thunderwave and Tequila Sunrise

170
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,160
and I wanted to show you I finished a sleeve.

171
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,760
I love how the sleeve looks really good.

172
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:47,600
It does look really good.

173
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,760
It is such an interesting construction,

174
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,840
it does look really cool.

175
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:55,240
So I made this heart around myself

176
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:00,000
because I decided I'm gonna make the accent piece

177
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,200
on the side of the shoulder a different color

178
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,360
and I thought this won't be a big deal

179
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,720
until I realized that 80% of the shoulder is short rows.

180
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,280
So.

181
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,280
Just the collective.

182
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,120
Oh, yeah.

183
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,960
I mean, so I was just like, okay,

184
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,160
well, I am gonna come up with a plan for this and I did.

185
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,720
The payout was really good

186
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,560
because it does look really cool.

187
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,400
It does look good.

188
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,220
Yeah, it looks really good.

189
00:07:25,220 --> 00:07:26,060
Thank you.

190
00:07:26,060 --> 00:07:27,960
There's like, I see it and I'm like mess up, mess up, mess up

191
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,560
but I'm also just like happy it's like done.

192
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,400
Yeah.

193
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,520
So I'm not like, I'm not mad about it.

194
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,320
Well, nobody else is going to see anything

195
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,160
if it's messed up.

196
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,000
No, I know that.

197
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,000
And you're almost done.

198
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:37,840
Look at that.

199
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:38,840
One sleeve to go.

200
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,000
So after I finished that one, I was like,

201
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,400
I'm going back to the body

202
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,000
because if I do another sleeve right now,

203
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:45,980
I might hurt myself.

204
00:07:45,980 --> 00:07:49,260
So I was like, let me just do it.

205
00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:51,320
So I'm back on body rows

206
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,920
and I think I only have about an inch left to do.

207
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,160
Cause this is supposed to be a, like a bit of a cropped top.

208
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,080
So I only technically have like an inch to do

209
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,460
and then I can dive into sleeve number two.

210
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,360
Well, she's really pretty.

211
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,200
Good colors.

212
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,020
Thank you.

213
00:08:12,020 --> 00:08:15,100
I'm really happy with how the fade came out.

214
00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:16,880
It looks really natural.

215
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,160
And I keep getting the comments of like sunset to ocean.

216
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,800
And I'm happy.

217
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,040
I'm really happy with it.

218
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,240
It's nice when your vision like plays out in real life.

219
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,840
Like that's what you wanted for it.

220
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,920
And that's how it came out.

221
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,000
No, it's good.

222
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,520
If you want to make a fun granny square type of thing,

223
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,080
like Jess is doing,

224
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,920
you can check out our sponsor, jimmybeanswool.com

225
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,240
where they have the granny square card deck

226
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,240
and it is a pocket size crochet muse.

227
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,360
It actually looks pretty cool.

228
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:50,680
It actually does look really cool.

229
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:52,680
Like it's a whole bunch of little granny square options.

230
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:53,680
It's like a little amuse bouche.

231
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:56,920
It basically gives you like the finished square

232
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,360
and what it looks like and an easy to follow way

233
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,180
to like make the same thing.

234
00:09:01,180 --> 00:09:03,400
So I think that is pretty, pretty cool.

235
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,040
So you can check that out again at jimmybeanswool.com.

239
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:20,880
Guys, I'm feeling, feeling a feeling.

240
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:21,720
What's the feeling?

241
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:22,720
What kind of a feeling?

242
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,280
You know, sometimes the craft,

243
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,600
there's stuff about the craft that really grinds my gears.

244
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,320
Well, I like that movie.

245
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,440
Dear God, Dre, why?

246
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,080
It's not a good movie, but it's fun.

247
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:37,920
All right.

248
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,280
So I want to remind you that you're on a Fiber Arts podcast

249
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,880
and that's what we're talking about when we say crafts.

250
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,040
Fine.

251
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:46,880
Fine.

252
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:48,680
Oh my God.

253
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:49,500
Anywho.

254
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,480
So I'm feeling a certain kind of way.

255
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:54,640
I feel like complaining.

256
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,400
And if you're feeling like complaining,

257
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,120
come join us over at part of my stash

258
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,360
where we're gonna complain this episode

259
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,840
about what grinds our gears.

260
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,120
Why don't you start since you're so spicy tonight?

261
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,640
Well, you know what grinds my gears?

262
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,460
Tell me.

263
00:10:08,460 --> 00:10:10,320
That there isn't a knitting machine

264
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,060
that can take over the body for you

265
00:10:12,060 --> 00:10:13,520
so you could just crank away

266
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,680
and not have to do stocknet forever.

267
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:16,520
Do you know what?

268
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:17,340
I'm not going to lie.

269
00:10:17,340 --> 00:10:19,540
When I got the adding machine,

270
00:10:19,540 --> 00:10:21,600
I thought that's what I was gonna be doing.

271
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,480
And just turning out all those sweater bodies.

272
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,920
I really did.

273
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,240
Do the fun part, then chuck it on there

274
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,760
and get the rest of it done.

275
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,160
I was like, oh, knitting machine.

276
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,800
This must be what this is for.

277
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,640
And it's not.

278
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,480
No.

279
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,240
I was super disappointed.

280
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,000
Listen, someone's gotta get on that.

281
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:38,840
Someone's gotta get on that.

282
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,420
I mean, I think you can do it with the flat machines

283
00:10:43,420 --> 00:10:45,040
that have way more hooks.

284
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:45,880
Yeah.

285
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,440
I only have a round one.

286
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,280
I know.

287
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,640
I wanna get a flat one.

288
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,640
Yeah, the round Addie's are just not gonna do it.

289
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,000
It can barely make a hat.

290
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,720
And also, heaven forbid you drop a stitch.

291
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,600
So as you're clicking it.

292
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,320
Yes.

293
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,840
But also, I've really figured out tension

294
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,840
to make that not happen as much.

295
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,760
Basically, if you don't keep consistent tension,

296
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,480
that happens all the time.

297
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,560
But there's a special way that I talk to my Addie.

298
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:18,400
I literally talk to him.

299
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,240
I'm like, come on.

300
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,080
That's fair.

301
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,000
We're gonna wind this yarn today

302
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,240
and we're not gonna be mad.

303
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,440
And we're just gonna wind it.

304
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,240
And we're just gonna be friends today.

305
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,920
There's a special way Jess talks to it too.

306
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:27,920
It's not like that though.

307
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:28,760
Oh, yeah.

308
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:29,580
It's not like that.

309
00:11:29,580 --> 00:11:31,160
That's probably why it throws the stitches.

310
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,000
See, you have to be friendly.

311
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:32,840
You have to be friendly.

312
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:33,680
Jess isn't friendly.

313
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:35,080
I am sure.

314
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,400
I'm like, listen.

315
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,800
It works on my printer.

316
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,080
It should work on my Addie.

317
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,400
That's all I have to say.

318
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,240
Listen.

319
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,740
But yeah, no, because like, and don't get me wrong.

320
00:11:47,740 --> 00:11:50,240
Like I love a good stockinette stitch

321
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,960
when I'm just sitting and watching TV

322
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,860
and being mindless and not, you know,

323
00:11:54,860 --> 00:11:57,520
just enjoying the knitting without really like.

324
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,920
Where you don't have to count and keep track.

325
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,440
Yeah, but then there gets to,

326
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,320
especially when you're doing a plus size sweater,

327
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,120
there just gets to a point where you're just like, man.

328
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,200
I just wanna be driven.

329
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,520
I think I'm gonna take off my boobs

330
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,600
because I really just wanna make a smaller sweater

331
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,520
so I can finish this faster.

332
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,200
I think that's where I'm at with that.

333
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,840
Meg, what grinds your gears?

334
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,760
Okay, so this is not meant to be like a ravelry like dunk,

335
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,000
but what I do hate is when people on ravelry

336
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,400
tag their pattern with every single tag.

337
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,240
Oh my God.

338
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,080
Known to mankind, trying to reach a bigger audience.

339
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,600
And you click on that pattern and it has nothing to do

340
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,040
with any of the things that you were looking for

341
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:41,880
in the first place.

342
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,720
That's annoying.

343
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:43,540
It is really annoying.

344
00:12:43,540 --> 00:12:46,400
And it's a trick that some designers use

345
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,640
to try to get more traffic to their pattern.

346
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,760
But it is really obnoxious.

347
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,080
It's really obnoxious when you're like,

348
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:59,080
I'm looking for a DK weight sweater with such and such

349
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,800
and you end up getting something that is totally not that,

350
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,720
but the designer hit every single tag.

351
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,540
And every once in a while,

352
00:13:05,540 --> 00:13:07,120
they try and get around it by adding in the comments,

353
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,740
well, you could use different weights

354
00:13:09,740 --> 00:13:11,200
and just gauge it to fit.

355
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,100
And you're like, no, that's not.

356
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:13,200
I'm not gonna do that though.

357
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,360
I'm really surprised that that even gets by

358
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,280
because I feel like every time I submit a pattern

359
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,800
and I tag stuff, they get real strict about it.

360
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,120
They're like, nope, this is not this, this is not that.

361
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:25,960
And it's like, oh, okay.

362
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,920
I feel like, yeah, they're trying to crack down on it,

363
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,240
but every so often, someone slips through

364
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,700
and it is really frustrating.

365
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:33,920
And I'm not by no means, I just wanna clarify.

366
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,160
I'm not trying to do the multiple tags thing,

367
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,280
but it's like-

368
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,880
Well, you should if they qualify.

369
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,680
Right, it's just like some of them that I think qualifies,

370
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:44,820
they're like, no, not technically because of this,

371
00:13:44,820 --> 00:13:46,920
but at least they give me an explanation.

372
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,920
So I'm like, okay, all right, I could see how you mean that.

373
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,040
And whatever, but like, yeah, no,

374
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,580
that's why I'm surprised because I'm like,

375
00:13:54,580 --> 00:13:55,720
oh man, they're real right.

376
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,040
Rough when I put something.

377
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,480
But if I'm looking for a DK weight sweater,

378
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,620
I don't want a pattern for a fingering weight sweater

379
00:14:01,620 --> 00:14:03,680
that says, and you can totally fudge this

380
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:06,280
if you do your own math, like no.

381
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,920
No, that's why I put a DK

382
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:08,960
because I don't wanna do math.

383
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,800
I don't do math, I don't do the math.

384
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,880
Maybe that should be a tag in itself, do your own math.

385
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,160
So you can like search for not that.

386
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,000
Yeah, no.

387
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,800
I will not be doing my own math.

388
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,080
Exclude this tag.

389
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,180
I stopped doing math in freshman year of college.

390
00:14:25,180 --> 00:14:27,000
That was the end of my math career

391
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,480
and I will not be doing math again.

392
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,240
Some patterns where that makes sense.

393
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,960
Like I know a lot of really awesome patterns

394
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,520
that do a lot of options.

395
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:35,580
Yeah, sure.

396
00:14:35,580 --> 00:14:36,920
Oh, flexible.

397
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,780
And your arms and like even the slip on your shoulder

398
00:14:39,780 --> 00:14:42,320
has like an arm adjustment that you can do.

399
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,720
But like, yeah.

400
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,800
Or they provide you with the instructions of like,

401
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,120
you can knit this in DK, here are the instructions here,

402
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,640
the fingering weight, here's the bulky.

403
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,360
Like they still give you everything.

404
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,560
As long as it's a full pattern with all the instructions,

405
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,200
great, tag whatever you want.

406
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,760
But don't tag something if I now,

407
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,320
after I have purchased the pattern,

408
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,400
am to be expected to gauge it and do the math myself.

409
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,680
No, absolutely not.

410
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,560
I will not be doing that.

411
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:09,920
Especially if I paid for it.

412
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,440
No, I will not be doing that.

413
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,920
Oh, that's like, if I, yeah.

414
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,920
That's like the fastest way to get me to never buy

415
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:16,840
one of your patterns again.

416
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,880
It's like a mental blacklist in my head.

417
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,080
I just won't.

418
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,920
If it's like not as described

419
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,640
or it's like really poorly done.

420
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,620
But grind your gears, Dreah.

421
00:15:27,620 --> 00:15:29,800
When you buy a pattern

422
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,040
because it says it's size inclusive

423
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,880
and then you open the pattern and it's not.

424
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,880
I feel like you've had recent experience with this.

425
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:39,720
I have.

426
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,440
I feel like in that case, like I,

427
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:43,760
and some people do do this

428
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,600
and I appreciate the designers that do this.

429
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,840
They put down the actual sizes that it goes to

430
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,640
and just so you know before you buy it that,

431
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,720
oh, this inclusive size still does not.

432
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,560
Like the actual measurement.

433
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,400
Yes.

434
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,240
That's not gonna fit me.

435
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,600
Yes, because there are plenty of patterns and designs

436
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,840
that say that they go up to two X or three X or four X.

437
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,420
And my definition of two X, three X, four X

438
00:16:09,420 --> 00:16:12,240
is not the same as yours.

439
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,560
Yeah, like it's or.

440
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,400
It was like it was obviously designed by somebody

441
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,240
who does not have that need.

442
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,760
Experience, yeah.

443
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:22,600
Yeah.

444
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,880
And saying that you do and then it clearly is not is.

445
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,440
Yeah, it's misleading.

446
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,280
It's misleading.

447
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,120
It just really gets me

448
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,560
because now you got my money and I got nothing.

449
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,880
Yeah, I mean like I also don't like the fact

450
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,680
in the same kind of vein

451
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,920
when they say it's size inclusive with that.

452
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,000
But then like add an additional factor of,

453
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,760
well, it's size inclusive,

454
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,120
but these sizes and those sizes you have to do math

455
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,560
and these ones are all set.

456
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,720
So like it'll say like small to XL or whatever,

457
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,440
size two to five.

458
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:04,760
We have all like,

459
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,600
here's all the counts for you and everything.

460
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:07,560
We graded everything for you.

461
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,800
If you're a size, a two X,

462
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,280
then you have to like add five here, add six there,

463
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,120
put four there.

464
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:14,960
And I'm like, that's.

465
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:15,800
No.

466
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,560
Just write it out.

467
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,440
Can I include it in the pattern?

468
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,760
Can I piggyback on that?

469
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,400
Because I got one to go along with this one.

470
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,440
Drives me absolutely freaking nuts

471
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,400
when they will, the pattern is says like,

472
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,720
okay, we have sizes up to, it's size inclusive,

473
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:31,760
we're up to here.

474
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,440
But then the pattern calls for 10 inches of positive ease.

475
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,280
Oh yeah.

476
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,040
And they count the positive ease.

477
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,360
They count the positive ease into the like,

478
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:42,240
so they'll say like, okay,

479
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,880
we do up to a size 52 inch bust.

480
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,520
Well then you should be providing a pattern

481
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,600
that goes up to a 62 inch bust.

482
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,160
If I'm supposed to look like the model,

483
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,040
if I need to have that much ease.

484
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,040
Yeah, you can't like provide a fitted garment

485
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,080
for one size and a loose hanging garment for that.

486
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,440
Then you have two different garments.

487
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,280
Exactly.

488
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,120
It should.

489
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:06,400
And I'm noticing, I will say like,

490
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,960
not to sound like super, super negative,

491
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,880
but I've noticed that that seems to be falling away

492
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,440
and more designers seem to be like,

493
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,880
okay, if this is the way it should be worn,

494
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,800
then this is the size that it should be worn for everybody.

495
00:18:21,380 --> 00:18:24,580
But yeah, that to me is a huge turnoff.

496
00:18:24,580 --> 00:18:28,120
Like I'm still, even after my surgery,

497
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:30,080
I still have a decent size bust.

498
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,420
And I still tend to sometimes fall into that.

499
00:18:33,420 --> 00:18:36,440
If it calls for 10 inches of positive ease,

500
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,280
mm-mm, they don't always go up to what will work for me.

501
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:41,240
Not at all.

502
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,040
So I don't like that.

503
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,720
But I also like when, in a similar positive affect,

504
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,240
I really like when you're able to like reasonably size up

505
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,440
even as a plus size.

506
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,600
Like I was able to do that with the slip on your shoulder.

507
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,880
Like my size was one point,

508
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,760
but the pattern is a negative ease.

509
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,200
I didn't want negative ease.

510
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,200
So I was able, but there was enough sizing provided

511
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,080
that I was able to like pick the next one

512
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,520
so I could have negative ease instead of,

513
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,320
so it's a little looser on me instead.

514
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,400
Cause my fit, I don't want it to be extremely fitted.

515
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,240
Yeah.

516
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,600
I don't, just personal preference.

517
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,760
I don't ever want a sweater to be super fitted.

518
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,360
And I think like, and it has nothing to do with like.

519
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:26,320
It's comfort.

520
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,360
Yeah, it has nothing to do with like, oh, like I'm big.

521
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:31,160
Body shaming or, yeah, no.

522
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,280
It's literally just like,

523
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,000
I just feel like I'm in a, in a Saran wrap.

524
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:37,840
Yes.

525
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,120
I like more air between me and a sweater.

526
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:41,920
I want the freedom of movement.

527
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:42,760
Yes.

528
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:43,600
Yeah.

529
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:44,600
And I think, I think fitted sweaters

530
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,040
or negative ease sweaters look fantastic.

531
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,840
I personally am, I'm not a huge fan on me.

532
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:51,720
I don't like it.

533
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,280
Like I just don't find it comfortable.

534
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,120
I feel very restricted.

535
00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:56,560
I don't mind like slight positive.

536
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,640
Like I don't need like a huge positive ease,

537
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,720
but like, I don't like negative.

538
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:01,680
I definitely don't like negative.

539
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,840
Yeah.

540
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,400
And that, but that should be taken into account.

541
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,240
Right.

542
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,920
Like that, even if this, well, I mean, I get it.

543
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,400
I get to an extent, like they're saying,

544
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,080
if the designer is saying it should be worn

545
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,960
with negative ease, like I get that.

546
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:19,200
But still it's, it is nice when there is a nice enough range

547
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,360
that you can't be like, oh,

548
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:21,920
I'm just gonna knit the next size up

549
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,760
and make sure it's a little bit bigger.

550
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Oh, well on that, non flexible test deadlines.

551
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,960
And I don't say that to reflect mine

552
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,760
because Blame Nots has been a plus.

553
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,520
Thank you, Mary, for like letting me kind of extend

554
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,960
my deadline with a bigger size, like regardless

555
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,360
of the reason, like as long as I communicated,

556
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:45,560
she was a okay with me extending.

557
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:50,240
But yeah, so if you're expecting me to create a garment

558
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,240
that has a bust of like 52 inches, for example,

559
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,800
I can't make that in six weeks, guys.

560
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,560
I can't make that in four weeks.

561
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,680
In four weeks, what?

562
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,640
Even eight weeks is a little rough.

563
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,600
Like I think it's just, and I know this has been talked

564
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,960
about, but it's still a grind my gears thing

565
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,640
because it's there, I still see the weird calls

566
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,640
where people are like, oh, drop everything in your life

567
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,840
and do this free service, not get paid,

568
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,880
not get anything for it and make my thing

569
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,680
so that I can use your pictures.

570
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:31,760
Like what?

571
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,440
No, no, no, I don't like that.

572
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,840
So yeah.

573
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,680
But then people wonder why they don't have people

574
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,840
that wanna test the bigger sizes.

575
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,640
Yeah, I mean, it's intimidating.

576
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,480
I mean, when you're doing the bigger sizes

577
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,840
or even honestly the regular sizes too,

578
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,200
like bigger sizes for sure,

579
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,360
because you literally are making sometimes double

580
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:55,440
the size of someone else.

581
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,040
So if you're making a small and I'm making a 3X,

582
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,200
well, like God, that's a whole lot more fabric

583
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,000
that I gotta knit than you do.

584
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,720
But just like this kind of idea that,

585
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,320
oh, nobody wants to test, nobody wants to test.

586
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,240
If nobody's offering, there's an issue

587
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,040
and it's not with the testers, it's probably with your call.

588
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,360
So if nobody's offering and nobody's saying,

589
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:23,960
blah, blah, blah, it's probably a flexibility issue.

590
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,880
It's probably like either a size issue or I mean,

591
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,840
obviously some people just don't wanna test it

592
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,720
because there's, I know certain people won't test a sweater

593
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,120
in general because usually there's just unrealistic

594
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:42,120
deadlines, but yeah, like I think you would get more people

595
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,800
interested, especially on the larger spectrum.

596
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,520
If you were just like, nah, don't worry about that.

597
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,400
If you need more time, it's fine, just long as you just say,

598
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,880
I need more time.

599
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,520
But I also wanna bring up Ocean Knits,

600
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,080
literally got rid of deadlines.

601
00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,240
I love that for her.

602
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,400
Just got rid of it.

603
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,800
And I think it's a really, I think it's more realistic.

604
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,720
I think you get a better product.

605
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,720
I think you end up with-

606
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,040
It takes all the pressure off.

607
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,720
Well, I was gonna say, people are less stressed about-

608
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,920
Yeah, and especially if you're not getting paid for it,

609
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,400
like what the heck, and hey, it's one thing

610
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,240
when you're getting paid,

611
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,760
because you're getting paid to do a job

612
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,960
and like, okay, there should be some kind of deadline

613
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,160
and some indication of when they would receive

614
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,960
what they paid for, right?

615
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,840
But if you're asking me to do something free,

616
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,680
take my time out of my day and do work on your project.

617
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,040
And the deadline should also have that expectation.

618
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:40,880
Yeah.

619
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,520
Well, I also think to an extent with designing,

620
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,200
and this is not meant to be a slam on designers,

621
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,320
but I always find it a little,

622
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,520
I get a little skeptical when I see like,

623
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,480
I want this for this deadline for a release on this date.

624
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,520
And I'm like, then why are people testing?

625
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,240
If you already know when you're gonna release it,

626
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,680
are they testing to check it,

627
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,120
or are they testing for drumming up excitement?

628
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:07,080
And that's fine too.

629
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:12,080
Like, I know a lot of testers rely on the other people.

630
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,080
Designers, yeah.

631
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,040
A lot of designers, I'm sorry.

632
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:15,880
No, it's okay.

633
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,560
Designers rely on the testers for drumming up excitement

634
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,500
and enthusiasm, I totally get that.

635
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,600
But that's not really a test then.

636
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:27,440
That's more like a-

637
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:28,440
A promo call or something.

638
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,840
Yeah, like a pre-release.

639
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,760
And maybe that's the thing that we need to like-

640
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,600
It's a soft opening.

641
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,080
Maybe re-address, yes.

642
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,160
It's not really, you're not really testing it.

643
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,520
If you're confident enough that your testers

644
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,160
aren't gonna find any mistakes-

645
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,000
Then it's a soft launch.

646
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,480
It's more like a soft launch, yeah.

647
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,200
So maybe that's something we as the community

648
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,120
need to kind of reframe how we look at testing.

649
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:51,880
Because if it's a true test,

650
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,640
you are not entirely certain that it's gonna work,

651
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,220
and you're not entirely sure if everybody's gonna have

652
00:25:01,220 --> 00:25:03,200
a smooth testing experience.

653
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,760
The point is to find mistakes.

654
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:05,600
Right.

655
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:06,420
That is the point.

656
00:25:06,420 --> 00:25:07,260
And to feedback.

657
00:25:07,260 --> 00:25:08,280
It's not to say your pattern definitely has mistakes.

658
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,800
It's to literally give feedback on,

659
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,880
this was difficult for me to comprehend,

660
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,160
this was easier for me to understand.

661
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,080
Yep.

662
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,400
The numbers are incorrect.

663
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,040
Yeah, the, you know, and yeah, like even when I was-

664
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,560
Something was unclear.

665
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,400
Yeah.

666
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,960
Even if you've got only got two out of 30 people.

667
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,560
The bind off is too tight.

668
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,120
Like things like that, yeah.

669
00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:30,600
And you're taking the feedback from,

670
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:31,480
or like, you know what,

671
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,440
this was really uncomfortable for me to knit.

672
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,120
I did not enjoy knitting this.

673
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:38,360
Like that's what a test call is for.

674
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:42,360
If you're already so sure that your pattern is ready to go,

675
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:44,760
that you've already decided when the launch date is,

676
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,440
that's not really a test.

677
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,360
And maybe in that case, the,

678
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,200
I think then you can afford to be a little more flexible

679
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,320
with the deadline or start it earlier, you know?

680
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,600
Like if that's what it is, then let's make it a little,

681
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,440
I don't know.

682
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,280
I don't know, I got feelings.

683
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:05,120
No, I totally-

684
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:05,940
That's why I don't test anymore.

685
00:26:05,940 --> 00:26:06,880
No, no, no, I get it.

686
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,000
And I totally think that this soft launch premise

687
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,920
is a lot of times because if you are making

688
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,620
a size inclusive pattern,

689
00:26:15,620 --> 00:26:18,520
you want to show all the sizes.

690
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,680
That's important. And how they look.

691
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,960
Yeah, like because people are visual and they're gonna,

692
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,760
oh, you have photos of people wearing your pattern.

693
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,540
Okay, am I in there?

694
00:26:27,540 --> 00:26:28,640
Cause that's what people are doing.

695
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,840
They're going, is my body type in there?

696
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,760
Right.

697
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,040
So yeah, and you know, some people,

698
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,040
that's all they look for and then they move on.

699
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,680
So- Yeah, I feel like we need to reframe this.

700
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,560
I feel like this is like a movement.

701
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,280
We need to reframe the idea of the test

702
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,080
and make it more about like, it's about publicity.

703
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,620
It's about showing the sizes.

704
00:26:49,620 --> 00:26:53,040
It's about, you know, testers explaining like,

705
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,100
oh, I really loved knitting this detail.

706
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:56,640
I really enjoy this.

707
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,000
I love this facet of the pattern.

708
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,200
I really like the soft launch trail.

709
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,360
I think that makes sense.

710
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:04,240
I think it does too.

711
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,560
I think it makes way more sense than test.

712
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,080
Because then, yeah, you can have a deadline

713
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,360
because you want to launch it at a certain point

714
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:14,360
and you're trying to drum up promotion

715
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:16,080
and you're trying to promote your product.

716
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,480
So that would make more sense to have a deadline.

717
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,940
But if you're testing something

718
00:27:19,940 --> 00:27:24,940
that you don't know works yet, well, yeah, that's-

719
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:26,800
Look, follow me for more advice.

720
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,640
No, and I can understand too.

721
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,840
I'm already like in my head going,

722
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,380
what the rebuttal for that would be

723
00:27:34,380 --> 00:27:37,040
because a lot of times you would tech at it before you test.

724
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,480
So like, wouldn't you know that it's our-

725
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,760
Well, okay, tech editors don't necessarily pick up like,

726
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,480
was this easy to read?

727
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,400
Was this something that fits my body well?

728
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,240
Like, they're-

729
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,200
Was it comfortable to knit?

730
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,040
Yeah, like-

731
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:51,880
They're checking the math.

732
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:52,700
They're checking the math.

733
00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:53,540
They're looking at the math.

734
00:27:53,540 --> 00:27:54,380
They're making sure that the pattern

735
00:27:54,380 --> 00:27:55,920
like mathematically makes sense.

736
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,480
That like, you know, this makes sense for-

737
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,400
The correct stitches are-

738
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,560
It's a tech edit.

739
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:02,400
That's the point.

740
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,760
It's not a fit edit.

741
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:09,480
It's not, you know, I know like I've done,

742
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,860
worked with tech editors and sometimes they'll alert me

743
00:28:11,860 --> 00:28:15,140
like, hey, like your circumference on this brim

744
00:28:15,140 --> 00:28:17,620
is way too big, like for this size.

745
00:28:17,620 --> 00:28:19,440
Yeah, that makes sense.

746
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,400
But like, they're not gonna give you like,

747
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:23,240
they're not gonna be like,

748
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,000
well, when I was knitting this section

749
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,180
or I was crocheting this section,

750
00:28:28,180 --> 00:28:32,200
I found that this whole, you know,

751
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,920
it really felt weird in my hands

752
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,280
and it was hard to manipulate the stitches in this section.

753
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,680
The way you bound off the sleeve

754
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,080
is gonna cut off people's circulation.

755
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,080
Yeah, like that's what a tester is for.

756
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,880
A tech editor is not, they're gonna be like,

757
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,040
oh, that's a great ribbing.

758
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,280
Cool, the ribbing math makes sense.

759
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,740
They're not gonna be like, wow,

760
00:28:49,740 --> 00:28:52,120
that is gonna cut off your hand circulation

761
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:52,960
when you knit that.

762
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,320
Like, that is, yeah, so.

763
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,400
And yeah, so I agree with you.

764
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,440
I don't know, something that just like,

765
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:01,760
if we separated it more,

766
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,660
I think there'd be less arguments about it.

767
00:29:03,660 --> 00:29:05,320
I think there'd be less like frustration

768
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,500
because the expectations would be set so much better.

769
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:11,320
You would have like, if okay, I'm gonna do a soft launch.

770
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,700
So there's a deadline, there's, you know, I need photos,

771
00:29:14,700 --> 00:29:16,440
I need this, I need that.

772
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,820
Compared to I'm doing a test knit

773
00:29:18,820 --> 00:29:20,520
or I'm doing a testing call

774
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,640
and I need to figure out if this pattern is like,

775
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,800
okay, as is to start launching to the public

776
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,440
and start a soft launch, you know, like, or whatever.

777
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,760
Well, I think with a soft launch too,

778
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,660
there would be an expectation of this pattern

779
00:29:33,660 --> 00:29:35,060
is already perfect.

780
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,960
Because right, leading into another grind my gears,

781
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,680
but charging testers, if they don't finish,

782
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,440
I think that is a lot of audacity

783
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,420
to give an incomplete untested pattern to somebody and say,

784
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,020
do this work for me to check this pattern?

785
00:29:52,020 --> 00:29:53,820
And if you don't finish for whatever reason,

786
00:29:53,820 --> 00:29:55,160
you now have to pay me for it.

787
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,520
Not even just payment, but just a consequence in general.

788
00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:59,360
Right.

789
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,180
Like, get outta here.

790
00:30:00,180 --> 00:30:01,660
I could understand.

791
00:30:01,660 --> 00:30:06,560
I'm giving you an advance copy of a perfect pattern.

792
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:08,360
Or what I just believed.

793
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,840
What I believe is a perfect pattern

794
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,840
for you to give me a sample

795
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,640
that I will then use to promote.

796
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,120
If you do not hold up your end of that deal,

797
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,640
I can understand at that degree of,

798
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,280
yes, you should pay for the pattern.

799
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,480
But even if you got into that point,

800
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,040
if you were getting that, like,

801
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,320
what's the word, like, professional about it,

802
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,600
at that point, there would be a contract.

803
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,120
There would be an expectation.

804
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,640
Right, because you are getting something.

805
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,760
Which, I don't think I've ever brought this up,

806
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,000
but one of the test-nits I did had me sign a contract.

807
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,680
Yeah, for a test?

808
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:46,520
Yeah.

809
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:47,340
Yeah, that is.

810
00:30:47,340 --> 00:30:48,840
And this was back when I was first starting,

811
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:49,960
so I didn't know better.

812
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,760
But also it was a super easy knit, so it was fine.

813
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,600
But now that I'm sitting here, I'm going,

814
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,320
that really only makes sense in the soft launch circumstance.

815
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,400
Yeah, if they know it's already perfect.

816
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,320
And if you are, again, testing, or not testing,

817
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,080
but knitting for promo, not for checking.

818
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,000
Yeah.

819
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,840
So I don't know.

820
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,200
Because I also feel like a soft launch

821
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,240
is more appropriate to call for,

822
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,580
because at a certain point as a designer,

823
00:31:17,580 --> 00:31:19,780
I know I feel this way.

824
00:31:19,780 --> 00:31:22,560
You get to a point where you kind of have a core of testers

825
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:27,560
that usually volunteer and have that extended kind of sizing

826
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:28,820
if you're needing it.

827
00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:31,660
Like you have kind of a good base to work from.

828
00:31:31,660 --> 00:31:33,580
You don't necessarily have to do a public call

829
00:31:33,580 --> 00:31:35,500
every single time after a certain point.

830
00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:36,340
Right.

831
00:31:36,340 --> 00:31:38,580
But for a soft launch, I could understand why you would.

832
00:31:38,580 --> 00:31:41,900
Because maybe you want different people doing this.

833
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:44,940
Maybe you want just like, you know,

834
00:31:44,940 --> 00:31:47,340
want certain types of accounts to do it

835
00:31:47,340 --> 00:31:49,100
because you want them to share it a certain way.

836
00:31:49,100 --> 00:31:51,380
Some differences too, because a lot of people,

837
00:31:51,380 --> 00:31:55,340
when they do stuff, there is like, they like a color,

838
00:31:55,340 --> 00:31:56,180
they like a method.

839
00:31:56,180 --> 00:32:01,180
And maybe you want to branch out, you want to get ideas.

840
00:32:01,460 --> 00:32:03,500
A little more imaginative, yeah.

841
00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:05,580
No, and that makes sense.

842
00:32:05,580 --> 00:32:09,940
We have a lot of opinions about this, clearly.

843
00:32:09,940 --> 00:32:11,340
I think, well, I don't know.

844
00:32:11,340 --> 00:32:14,760
I think it's just, well, for one, we're all plus size.

845
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,560
That's either our or was at some point.

846
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,960
So I feel like we all feel that part to a degree.

847
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,060
And several of us have tested.

848
00:32:24,060 --> 00:32:28,900
So like, I know, like, I think that's why we're like, hey.

849
00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:31,800
Yeah, but it's, well, I think you learn too.

850
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,420
I mean, I, and I had no, I have absolutely no, no,

851
00:32:36,340 --> 00:32:38,500
bad feelings about this designer whatsoever.

852
00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:43,060
But I did test knit a sweater and realized about myself

853
00:32:43,060 --> 00:32:45,140
as I was going through it, this is not for me.

854
00:32:45,140 --> 00:32:46,820
Like, this is too much pressure.

855
00:32:46,820 --> 00:32:48,160
This project is too big.

856
00:32:49,180 --> 00:32:51,040
And I don't have the time.

857
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,120
And again, the designer was nothing, if not gracious.

858
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,560
So I have absolutely no complaints with her.

859
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,940
The fault was all mine, but it definitely taught me

860
00:32:58,940 --> 00:33:02,980
this is not, test knitting sweaters is not for me.

861
00:33:04,140 --> 00:33:06,000
Yeah. And that's fair.

862
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,880
And really, even the one I'm doing now

863
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,500
was only acceptable in my mind because short sleeves,

864
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:18,980
short body, like I felt like it was almost reasonable.

865
00:33:18,980 --> 00:33:21,580
Like I felt like I could, I could get there.

866
00:33:21,580 --> 00:33:24,940
And even when I signed up, she, I said to her, I was like,

867
00:33:24,940 --> 00:33:26,860
I don't know if I have enough time based on like

868
00:33:26,860 --> 00:33:29,660
the deadline set, but like, I'll try.

869
00:33:29,660 --> 00:33:30,580
I'll give it a good try.

870
00:33:30,580 --> 00:33:35,100
So, so yeah, I'd like, I feel like if it was a full blown

871
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:37,100
long sleeve, I don't know.

872
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:38,900
I don't think I would throw my hat in

873
00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:42,300
cause I've been there where it's like, I just feel like.

874
00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:45,420
The walls are closing in and I'm trying my best,

875
00:33:45,420 --> 00:33:46,860
but this isn't going to happen.

876
00:33:46,860 --> 00:33:49,900
And it's hard when you have a family and you have like,

877
00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:53,980
or job and like life, just life in general.

878
00:33:53,980 --> 00:33:55,380
You have to, you don't know what,

879
00:33:55,380 --> 00:33:57,020
you don't know what you're going to get hit with.

880
00:33:57,020 --> 00:33:59,420
And then all of a sudden you're like, Oh God, you know,

881
00:33:59,420 --> 00:34:01,220
I can't, I'm going to lose a week.

882
00:34:01,220 --> 00:34:04,260
Well, yeah, you could be on a roll and then something

883
00:34:04,260 --> 00:34:09,260
happens and now you're behind and things happen.

884
00:34:10,460 --> 00:34:12,960
Does anything grind your gear, Jess?

885
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,260
Really weird things.

886
00:34:14,260 --> 00:34:15,100
Good.

887
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:19,740
So first off, listen, and I,

888
00:34:19,740 --> 00:34:22,340
I still have to look this up because it does bother me.

889
00:34:22,340 --> 00:34:23,700
And I just haven't had the time to look it up,

890
00:34:23,700 --> 00:34:27,700
but I don't like that the smaller the bead,

891
00:34:27,700 --> 00:34:30,140
the higher the number of its sizing.

892
00:34:30,140 --> 00:34:31,100
Okay. I agree.

893
00:34:31,100 --> 00:34:33,340
Because when we were looking, I got very confused.

894
00:34:33,340 --> 00:34:36,620
No, I, and it's because I know that this is the case only

895
00:34:36,620 --> 00:34:38,220
sometimes people don't do,

896
00:34:38,220 --> 00:34:39,940
and I get real mad when they don't do it that way.

897
00:34:39,940 --> 00:34:42,380
Cause I'm like, I'm training myself to remember this is the

898
00:34:42,380 --> 00:34:45,500
case and now you're just confusing me more.

899
00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:46,580
I usually do that.

900
00:34:46,580 --> 00:34:48,020
Like I usually use size six.

901
00:34:48,020 --> 00:34:50,020
So I shouldn't even complain that much,

902
00:34:50,020 --> 00:34:53,220
but I don't know why they do it that way.

903
00:34:53,220 --> 00:34:55,620
And I always mean to look it up and then I get distracted

904
00:34:55,620 --> 00:34:56,460
and I don't.

905
00:34:56,460 --> 00:34:58,460
So one day I will look up why they do that,

906
00:34:58,460 --> 00:35:00,220
but it is really confusing.

907
00:35:00,220 --> 00:35:01,460
Or somebody will tell us.

908
00:35:01,460 --> 00:35:03,220
Or someone will tell us.

909
00:35:03,220 --> 00:35:05,420
And then I, then I won't have to look it up.

910
00:35:06,740 --> 00:35:08,260
Dre is just whipping herself out right now.

911
00:35:08,260 --> 00:35:10,100
But that is obnoxious.

912
00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:11,660
Going off of the beaded thing.

913
00:35:11,660 --> 00:35:16,660
I am mad that I cannot get beads to work on this project

914
00:35:17,860 --> 00:35:20,300
right now because it doesn't look the way I want it to

915
00:35:20,300 --> 00:35:21,340
on crochet.

916
00:35:22,340 --> 00:35:25,140
And that annoys me because there isn't a fix for that.

917
00:35:25,140 --> 00:35:29,180
I can't fix the way beads work on crochet, but.

918
00:35:29,180 --> 00:35:31,580
Just make physics.

919
00:35:31,580 --> 00:35:32,540
Do you want me to answer the beads?

920
00:35:32,540 --> 00:35:33,700
Yes, answer it.

921
00:35:34,820 --> 00:35:39,380
So the number before the slash indicates how many beads fit

922
00:35:39,380 --> 00:35:43,300
in an inch and the number.

923
00:35:45,660 --> 00:35:48,900
And the number after the slash indicates how many times

924
00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:52,500
the beads need to be strung to make an inch.

925
00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:56,820
So for example, a size eight slash zero bead means that

926
00:35:56,820 --> 00:35:58,980
eight beads fit in an inch.

927
00:35:58,980 --> 00:36:01,340
The larger the number, smaller the bead.

928
00:36:01,340 --> 00:36:02,180
Okay.

929
00:36:02,180 --> 00:36:03,180
That makes more sense.

930
00:36:03,180 --> 00:36:04,980
I am happy to answer that for you.

931
00:36:04,980 --> 00:36:06,700
I got the music for this.

932
00:36:06,700 --> 00:36:11,020
What a good moment.

933
00:36:11,020 --> 00:36:15,180
I'm so glad because again, I always mean to look it up

934
00:36:15,180 --> 00:36:16,740
and then I never do.

935
00:36:16,740 --> 00:36:19,060
So now I know I'll probably forget, but.

936
00:36:19,060 --> 00:36:21,500
I love to look things up immediately.

937
00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:25,460
Frank, but yeah, the crochet thing is, and again,

938
00:36:25,460 --> 00:36:27,700
I can't fix it because it is a meat issue.

939
00:36:27,700 --> 00:36:29,300
I just don't like the way it looks.

940
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:30,700
You're gonna just sell them on afterwards.

941
00:36:30,700 --> 00:36:35,020
I am, but I tried, I tried both ways that I know

942
00:36:35,020 --> 00:36:37,260
how to beat stuff and I was like, nope,

943
00:36:37,260 --> 00:36:39,420
we're just gonna do this later for the third way

944
00:36:39,420 --> 00:36:40,980
that it's kind of cheating.

945
00:36:40,980 --> 00:36:42,540
Cause that's an after.

946
00:36:42,540 --> 00:36:43,380
It's not cheating.

947
00:36:43,380 --> 00:36:44,220
It's not cheating.

948
00:36:44,220 --> 00:36:45,060
It's just not.

949
00:36:45,060 --> 00:36:47,260
It's still a technique though.

950
00:36:47,260 --> 00:36:50,460
It's just not doing it before the project is done.

951
00:36:50,460 --> 00:36:51,740
But that's okay.

952
00:36:51,740 --> 00:36:55,260
And there are beaded crocheted projects that look good.

953
00:36:55,260 --> 00:36:57,580
And it is not this one.

954
00:36:57,580 --> 00:37:02,700
So it is not, it is not a giant granny square.

955
00:37:02,700 --> 00:37:04,860
At least again, to me, some people probably will look at it

956
00:37:04,860 --> 00:37:06,180
and they're like, what is wrong with you?

957
00:37:06,180 --> 00:37:07,300
That looks great.

958
00:37:07,300 --> 00:37:12,220
And I'm like, no, I wanted to sit on the left leg

959
00:37:12,220 --> 00:37:13,900
and not the right leg.

960
00:37:13,900 --> 00:37:14,900
I'm literally at work.

961
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:17,020
I'm teaching politics and I'm getting all this,

962
00:37:17,020 --> 00:37:21,700
this flood of texts about how distraught she was.

963
00:37:21,700 --> 00:37:24,660
And then the pictures of the beads in the crochet.

964
00:37:26,300 --> 00:37:27,220
It was a bad day for her.

965
00:37:27,220 --> 00:37:30,340
I put in and tore out that like four times.

966
00:37:30,340 --> 00:37:31,300
She was not happy.

967
00:37:31,300 --> 00:37:35,020
Like, so it was a moment in time.

968
00:37:35,020 --> 00:37:35,980
It was a moment.

969
00:37:35,980 --> 00:37:37,980
And then I was like, you know what?

970
00:37:37,980 --> 00:37:41,540
Yes, I'm going to do the third option of adding it later.

971
00:37:41,540 --> 00:37:43,340
And then I can control it a little bit more.

972
00:37:43,340 --> 00:37:46,260
But so yeah, knit on beads.

973
00:37:46,260 --> 00:37:49,220
I have discovered that I like better than crocheting on.

974
00:37:49,220 --> 00:37:52,380
So far, I just maybe haven't found the project,

975
00:37:52,380 --> 00:37:56,820
but so that grinds my gears.

976
00:37:56,820 --> 00:37:57,980
Wow.

977
00:37:57,980 --> 00:38:01,620
She did warn us that it was weird.

978
00:38:01,620 --> 00:38:02,460
I did.

979
00:38:02,460 --> 00:38:03,780
No, I said good.

980
00:38:03,780 --> 00:38:06,020
I think that makes perfect.

981
00:38:06,020 --> 00:38:07,700
I'm sure there are plenty of others

982
00:38:07,700 --> 00:38:09,420
and I'm sure you've gotten texts from me before,

983
00:38:09,420 --> 00:38:11,380
but right now I was just like focused

984
00:38:11,380 --> 00:38:12,700
on this current bead issue.

985
00:38:12,700 --> 00:38:15,340
Well, it's relevant to the moment.

986
00:38:15,340 --> 00:38:17,660
Ooh, I got a really simple one.

987
00:38:17,660 --> 00:38:20,780
I open my needle case and the one needle that I need

988
00:38:20,780 --> 00:38:22,260
is the only one that's missing.

989
00:38:22,260 --> 00:38:23,860
Oh my God, that's like guys with the,

990
00:38:23,860 --> 00:38:25,740
what's it, the 10 socket?

991
00:38:25,740 --> 00:38:28,260
The number 10 socket, whenever they open up their toolkit

992
00:38:28,260 --> 00:38:29,780
and the 10 socket is always missing.

993
00:38:29,780 --> 00:38:31,700
It's me with the three quarter bit drill too.

994
00:38:31,700 --> 00:38:33,820
I don't know what is up with three quarter bit drill,

995
00:38:33,820 --> 00:38:34,860
but that's always missing.

996
00:38:34,860 --> 00:38:37,180
It's me in sizes six to eight.

997
00:38:37,180 --> 00:38:38,580
Yeah, that too.

998
00:38:38,580 --> 00:38:40,500
Literally just sizes six to eight.

999
00:38:40,500 --> 00:38:41,420
You know what I love?

1000
00:38:41,420 --> 00:38:43,540
No, you'll open your needle case looking for a six, right?

1001
00:38:43,540 --> 00:38:45,300
And all you have are threes every single time.

1002
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:46,540
You open it to look for threes

1003
00:38:46,540 --> 00:38:50,580
and there's all your sixes and no threes.

1004
00:38:50,580 --> 00:38:51,420
So good.

1005
00:38:52,700 --> 00:38:53,620
Such a great moment.

1006
00:38:53,620 --> 00:38:56,140
I was going through my needle case

1007
00:38:56,140 --> 00:38:58,020
and there was needles I wanted,

1008
00:38:58,020 --> 00:38:59,900
but in particular to use with this one

1009
00:38:59,900 --> 00:39:02,620
and it called for eights and sixes.

1010
00:39:02,620 --> 00:39:03,860
And I was like, oh man,

1011
00:39:03,860 --> 00:39:05,540
I know exactly which ones I wanna use.

1012
00:39:05,540 --> 00:39:07,700
And then I looked in my case and I was like,

1013
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:10,620
all I have are the ones that don't want me.

1014
00:39:10,620 --> 00:39:13,380
So I'm using the ones that don't want me.

1015
00:39:13,380 --> 00:39:14,580
Oh, I like you when it's like,

1016
00:39:14,580 --> 00:39:19,220
you need a size 16, what is it, for your circulars.

1017
00:39:19,220 --> 00:39:22,380
And it's like, here's size 10, here's size 20.

1018
00:39:22,380 --> 00:39:25,780
Do you wanna shove too many stitches on

1019
00:39:25,780 --> 00:39:28,100
or do you wanna be stretching for dear life?

1020
00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:28,940
Oh man.

1021
00:39:30,940 --> 00:39:34,140
Cause I decided to cast on at 10 PM and can't go to the store.

1022
00:39:34,140 --> 00:39:37,540
I got the universal grind my gears.

1023
00:39:37,540 --> 00:39:38,380
All right, you ready?

1024
00:39:38,380 --> 00:39:39,220
You're not ready.

1025
00:39:39,220 --> 00:39:40,060
I am ready.

1026
00:39:40,060 --> 00:39:40,900
Lay it on me.

1027
00:39:40,900 --> 00:39:43,620
When your cable comes unscrewed.

1028
00:39:43,620 --> 00:39:44,460
Oh.

1029
00:39:46,580 --> 00:39:47,420
Yeah, we have it.

1030
00:39:47,420 --> 00:39:49,380
And worse when you don't realize it's come unscrewed

1031
00:39:49,380 --> 00:39:51,740
until all of a sudden it's floating in your live stitches.

1032
00:39:51,740 --> 00:39:53,980
I'm telling you, I feel like I know what can fix that

1033
00:39:53,980 --> 00:39:57,060
and I just don't have the ability to create this thing.

1034
00:39:57,060 --> 00:39:58,780
It's so much rage.

1035
00:39:58,780 --> 00:40:00,340
I hate when I get to the end of every row

1036
00:40:00,340 --> 00:40:03,220
and I gotta stop and screw the stupid things back on again.

1037
00:40:03,220 --> 00:40:05,700
But no, I'm not going back to straights.

1038
00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:06,540
No, I'm not doing it.

1039
00:40:06,540 --> 00:40:08,540
You gotta use your little key thing.

1040
00:40:08,540 --> 00:40:09,380
Or non interchangeable.

1041
00:40:09,380 --> 00:40:11,220
No, I have done that, it still doesn't work.

1042
00:40:11,220 --> 00:40:12,220
Well then.

1043
00:40:12,220 --> 00:40:13,500
It works temporarily.

1044
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:15,140
And I've been told lies.

1045
00:40:15,140 --> 00:40:16,820
It does, it works temporarily.

1046
00:40:16,820 --> 00:40:19,860
I have considered not using interchangeables

1047
00:40:19,860 --> 00:40:21,940
and just buying a lot.

1048
00:40:21,940 --> 00:40:23,500
You'd have to buy so many.

1049
00:40:23,500 --> 00:40:24,980
And then they all go missing.

1050
00:40:24,980 --> 00:40:27,260
You'd have to buy so many.

1051
00:40:27,260 --> 00:40:29,420
But then we do that anyway, so you know what?

1052
00:40:29,420 --> 00:40:30,620
I totally did that though.

1053
00:40:30,620 --> 00:40:34,500
I bought a bunch of Addi turbos in the sizes

1054
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:37,500
I normally use and now I can't find those either.

1055
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:38,340
Stop.

1056
00:40:38,340 --> 00:40:39,180
No.

1057
00:40:40,260 --> 00:40:43,940
All I have are the way too big sizes and the way too small.

1058
00:40:43,940 --> 00:40:44,780
Stop.

1059
00:40:44,780 --> 00:40:45,740
Guys, why don't we like this?

1060
00:40:45,740 --> 00:40:48,020
No, I was like, this will solve all my problems.

1061
00:40:48,020 --> 00:40:49,340
I did the exact same thing.

1062
00:40:49,340 --> 00:40:51,660
I was like, screw all these interchangeables.

1063
00:40:51,660 --> 00:40:54,020
I'm gonna buy a single one at every single size

1064
00:40:54,020 --> 00:40:54,860
that I normally do.

1065
00:40:54,860 --> 00:40:56,900
And then you never see them again.

1066
00:40:56,900 --> 00:40:59,780
And then I opened up my box and there you go.

1067
00:40:59,780 --> 00:41:00,620
What's missing?

1068
00:41:00,620 --> 00:41:02,220
Sizes six to eight.

1069
00:41:02,220 --> 00:41:03,060
Awesome.

1070
00:41:03,060 --> 00:41:06,700
This grinds my gears and makes two.

1071
00:41:06,700 --> 00:41:07,540
Oh no.

1072
00:41:08,540 --> 00:41:09,380
What?

1073
00:41:09,380 --> 00:41:10,940
I can't find the eyes.

1074
00:41:10,940 --> 00:41:11,780
Huh?

1075
00:41:11,780 --> 00:41:12,780
No, no.

1076
00:41:17,740 --> 00:41:18,940
I don't know where they are.

1077
00:41:18,940 --> 00:41:20,260
I'm telling you guys.

1078
00:41:20,260 --> 00:41:22,220
Every time Jess loses eyes.

1079
00:41:24,980 --> 00:41:27,060
I'm telling you like one day,

1080
00:41:27,060 --> 00:41:29,420
like a hundred years into the future

1081
00:41:29,420 --> 00:41:30,860
when we are both long dead

1082
00:41:30,860 --> 00:41:33,220
and this house has passed into new owners,

1083
00:41:33,220 --> 00:41:34,820
they're gonna be doing the sweep.

1084
00:41:34,820 --> 00:41:36,060
They're gonna find eyes.

1085
00:41:36,060 --> 00:41:37,420
Somewhere.

1086
00:41:37,420 --> 00:41:38,260
Everywhere.

1087
00:41:38,260 --> 00:41:40,180
Like, oh my God.

1088
00:41:40,180 --> 00:41:41,900
And they're gonna think that there's something weird

1089
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:42,900
going on in the house.

1090
00:41:42,900 --> 00:41:43,740
Like the house is cursed.

1091
00:41:43,740 --> 00:41:46,380
Beads are gonna like fall out from under the heaters.

1092
00:41:46,380 --> 00:41:48,260
I'm still finding beads.

1093
00:41:48,260 --> 00:41:51,380
What would be better is if the people who are finding it

1094
00:41:51,380 --> 00:41:53,100
don't know that they're eyes and they're just like,

1095
00:41:53,100 --> 00:41:55,020
what are all these black things they're doing on?

1096
00:41:55,020 --> 00:41:56,820
Oh no, some of them are definitely like colored eyes.

1097
00:41:56,820 --> 00:41:57,660
Some have irises.

1098
00:41:57,660 --> 00:41:59,060
Some definitely look like eyes.

1099
00:41:59,060 --> 00:42:00,540
The ones I have are just like black dots.

1100
00:42:00,540 --> 00:42:01,380
No, no, no.

1101
00:42:01,380 --> 00:42:02,220
I've got those too.

1102
00:42:02,220 --> 00:42:04,180
Oh no, she's gotta buy the special ones.

1103
00:42:04,180 --> 00:42:07,140
Like the dragon eyes and the cat eyes.

1104
00:42:07,140 --> 00:42:08,420
I need more of those anyway.

1105
00:42:08,420 --> 00:42:10,020
Every time she goes to make a creature,

1106
00:42:10,020 --> 00:42:12,100
she's like, oh, I can't find the eyes again.

1107
00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:12,940
And I'm like, cool.

1108
00:42:12,940 --> 00:42:15,020
But then I'll find the eyes and I'll be like,

1109
00:42:15,020 --> 00:42:16,380
there, you have the eyes, go ahead and do it.

1110
00:42:16,380 --> 00:42:18,460
I'm like, yeah, but I needed red ones.

1111
00:42:18,460 --> 00:42:19,420
And there's not any red.

1112
00:42:19,420 --> 00:42:23,340
So who did you say lived in this house before we did?

1113
00:42:23,340 --> 00:42:25,660
Some really freaking weird people.

1114
00:42:25,660 --> 00:42:28,100
No, dude, it is like every time she goes to make

1115
00:42:28,100 --> 00:42:31,140
an amigurumi, like we gotta buy more eyes.

1116
00:42:31,140 --> 00:42:32,740
And then I'm like, great.

1117
00:42:32,740 --> 00:42:36,020
I don't know what happened to the other 700 eyes.

1118
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,340
We have plans for the next long weekend.

1119
00:42:38,340 --> 00:42:41,140
She's taking the weekend off with me.

1120
00:42:41,140 --> 00:42:43,820
And instead of going somewhere fun and doing something fun,

1121
00:42:43,820 --> 00:42:46,260
we're literally gonna toss the entire craft room

1122
00:42:46,260 --> 00:42:49,820
and if we don't find the eyes, I'm going to be so mad.

1123
00:42:49,820 --> 00:42:51,780
I did find the noses.

1124
00:42:51,780 --> 00:42:52,620
Stop.

1125
00:42:52,620 --> 00:42:54,340
I didn't know they were missing.

1126
00:42:54,340 --> 00:42:55,700
I didn't know you had noses.

1127
00:42:55,700 --> 00:42:56,540
Yeah, they're cute.

1128
00:42:56,540 --> 00:42:57,620
I haven't made anything with them yet.

1129
00:42:57,620 --> 00:43:01,740
You cannot imagine the amount of craft supplies she has.

1130
00:43:01,740 --> 00:43:03,020
Like when you search for eyes,

1131
00:43:03,020 --> 00:43:05,100
like the noses come up almost always.

1132
00:43:05,100 --> 00:43:06,340
Like they come up with the eyes.

1133
00:43:06,340 --> 00:43:07,340
I have a little pink one.

1134
00:43:07,340 --> 00:43:10,860
You cannot imagine the array of craft stuff she has

1135
00:43:10,860 --> 00:43:13,140
that is just hanging out in the basement.

1136
00:43:13,140 --> 00:43:15,260
I have discovered I can use them for felting now.

1137
00:43:15,260 --> 00:43:18,740
So now I have to find them and keep better track of them.

1138
00:43:18,740 --> 00:43:21,300
Oh, what grinds my gears is myself

1139
00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:24,060
because every time I do a clean sweep of the craft room

1140
00:43:24,060 --> 00:43:27,740
and I say, I will never let it get that bad again.

1141
00:43:27,740 --> 00:43:28,580
Yeah, what the heck me?

1142
00:43:28,580 --> 00:43:30,140
Whomp, whomp, whomp.

1143
00:43:30,140 --> 00:43:31,580
Never.

1144
00:43:31,580 --> 00:43:33,460
No, you just decide two weeks later,

1145
00:43:33,460 --> 00:43:34,700
you're like, cool, we're all set.

1146
00:43:34,700 --> 00:43:35,540
Everything's great.

1147
00:43:35,540 --> 00:43:37,380
And then two weeks later, you find a new craft

1148
00:43:37,380 --> 00:43:39,900
and you're like, let me buy all this stuff.

1149
00:43:39,900 --> 00:43:41,380
That's my life.

1150
00:43:41,380 --> 00:43:42,820
I need cubbies with all my individual crafts.

1151
00:43:42,820 --> 00:43:45,260
I stick to like one to two crafts

1152
00:43:45,260 --> 00:43:47,740
and Jess just accumulates them like Pokemon.

1153
00:43:47,740 --> 00:43:50,220
I think the cubbies actually might make sense though.

1154
00:43:50,220 --> 00:43:52,340
I don't think the cubbies can fit her stuff.

1155
00:43:52,340 --> 00:43:54,020
This hobby, that hobby.

1156
00:43:54,020 --> 00:43:55,260
No, it's crazy.

1157
00:43:55,260 --> 00:43:57,220
Are the cubbies big enough?

1158
00:43:57,220 --> 00:43:59,500
Well, you could do cubbies or you could do like big,

1159
00:43:59,500 --> 00:44:00,780
like one of those big like.

1160
00:44:00,780 --> 00:44:03,340
We don't have that much space.

1161
00:44:03,340 --> 00:44:04,820
Okay, I can probably do the wood burning

1162
00:44:04,820 --> 00:44:05,660
and the drumming together.

1163
00:44:05,660 --> 00:44:08,060
I feel like we're gonna be fine when the kid finally outgrows

1164
00:44:08,060 --> 00:44:11,060
the need for a play room and we can make a second craft space

1165
00:44:11,060 --> 00:44:12,940
and it can just be Jess's.

1166
00:44:12,940 --> 00:44:15,700
And then I'm just gonna shut the door

1167
00:44:15,700 --> 00:44:17,980
and it can be as messy as she wants.

1168
00:44:17,980 --> 00:44:19,700
I always clean up when I'm done with the craft.

1169
00:44:19,700 --> 00:44:21,420
This week on Saving Marriages.

1170
00:44:21,420 --> 00:44:23,820
We are fine.

1171
00:44:23,820 --> 00:44:24,660
I'm kidding.

1172
00:44:24,660 --> 00:44:25,500
But it is like.

1173
00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:26,340
I'm absolutely kidding.

1174
00:44:26,340 --> 00:44:27,180
It's just funny.

1175
00:44:27,180 --> 00:44:31,420
It is like, it's the craft stuff.

1176
00:44:31,420 --> 00:44:33,980
If you wanna lament, you can lament with Patrick

1177
00:44:33,980 --> 00:44:36,100
because he told me that if any craft stuff

1178
00:44:36,100 --> 00:44:39,460
comes out of my craft room, he is going to toss it.

1179
00:44:39,460 --> 00:44:40,300
No.

1180
00:44:40,300 --> 00:44:42,260
Unless I can't do that.

1181
00:44:42,260 --> 00:44:43,380
He's like, this cannot.

1182
00:44:43,380 --> 00:44:46,260
And so, okay, so with yarn saver,

1183
00:44:46,260 --> 00:44:49,140
I had to get a new freezer because I have a lot of stock

1184
00:44:49,140 --> 00:44:52,140
and that was like, no, it's escaping.

1185
00:44:52,140 --> 00:44:56,460
It's moved into a new space.

1186
00:44:56,460 --> 00:44:57,820
And I was like, well, it's like.

1187
00:44:57,820 --> 00:44:58,660
Freezer?

1188
00:44:58,660 --> 00:44:59,500
I had, yeah.

1189
00:44:59,500 --> 00:45:00,340
Yeah.

1190
00:45:00,340 --> 00:45:01,160
So you can freeze the yarn.

1191
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,500
So when I get incoming yarn from people who wanna.

1192
00:45:03,500 --> 00:45:05,380
Make sure there's no eggs in it.

1193
00:45:05,380 --> 00:45:08,500
Yeah, so like they, you know, I get the incoming yarn.

1194
00:45:08,500 --> 00:45:10,180
People like want me to like, you know,

1195
00:45:10,180 --> 00:45:11,680
assess it and give it prices.

1196
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,500
But like, I don't even touch it

1197
00:45:13,500 --> 00:45:15,140
until I've frozen it like twice.

1198
00:45:15,140 --> 00:45:18,460
I do like freeze, thaw for a day, freeze.

1199
00:45:18,460 --> 00:45:19,540
And then once that's all done.

1200
00:45:19,540 --> 00:45:20,380
That's fair.

1201
00:45:20,380 --> 00:45:21,420
Kills all the.

1202
00:45:21,420 --> 00:45:23,420
Yeah, anything that might be in there.

1203
00:45:23,420 --> 00:45:25,260
I just don't wanna bring anything into my house either.

1204
00:45:25,260 --> 00:45:26,420
No, because you never know.

1205
00:45:26,420 --> 00:45:27,260
Yeah, I don't.

1206
00:45:27,260 --> 00:45:28,080
You just.

1207
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:28,920
I'll sacrifice your stash.

1208
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:29,760
Oh God.

1209
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:30,580
Takes one moth, man.

1210
00:45:30,580 --> 00:45:31,420
It takes one moth.

1211
00:45:31,420 --> 00:45:33,740
I've already been like separating it anyway,

1212
00:45:33,740 --> 00:45:35,580
but like it's just, yeah.

1213
00:45:35,580 --> 00:45:36,620
But yeah, that freezer,

1214
00:45:36,620 --> 00:45:39,660
it's definitely outside of my craft room and.

1215
00:45:39,660 --> 00:45:41,100
He's got some feels about it.

1216
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:41,940
So you know what you say?

1217
00:45:41,940 --> 00:45:44,620
You just say, Patrick, I'll make a deal with you.

1218
00:45:44,620 --> 00:45:46,780
You can move the rec room into my craft room.

1219
00:45:46,780 --> 00:45:49,340
I'll move my craft room into the basement.

1220
00:45:49,340 --> 00:45:50,180
Yeah.

1221
00:45:50,180 --> 00:45:51,940
I'm pretty sure the kids would protest.

1222
00:45:51,940 --> 00:45:52,780
Probably.

1223
00:45:52,780 --> 00:45:54,060
Because that's their playroom area too.

1224
00:45:54,060 --> 00:45:54,900
Probably.

1225
00:45:54,900 --> 00:45:56,220
No, I don't need like that much more.

1226
00:45:56,220 --> 00:45:57,820
So when they've outgrown their.

1227
00:45:57,820 --> 00:46:02,380
When the kids have outgrown their playroom.

1228
00:46:02,380 --> 00:46:04,020
And I thought this, you know,

1229
00:46:04,020 --> 00:46:06,380
several thousand feet home was too big.

1230
00:46:06,380 --> 00:46:11,380
So no, the, he's actually not like against me doing like

1231
00:46:11,940 --> 00:46:12,780
that.

1232
00:46:12,780 --> 00:46:13,620
No.

1233
00:46:13,620 --> 00:46:15,020
He's like happy because it means like the business is doing

1234
00:46:15,020 --> 00:46:17,900
well and like he's supporting it, but.

1235
00:46:17,900 --> 00:46:18,740
It's spreading.

1236
00:46:18,740 --> 00:46:19,580
It's spreading.

1237
00:46:19,580 --> 00:46:20,660
That's exactly.

1238
00:46:20,660 --> 00:46:22,540
I'm just imagining though, when you first got it,

1239
00:46:22,540 --> 00:46:23,740
like you not telling him and he goes,

1240
00:46:23,740 --> 00:46:25,020
and he's like, oh, freezer, what's in here?

1241
00:46:25,020 --> 00:46:25,860
And opens it.

1242
00:46:25,860 --> 00:46:28,500
And instead of like frozen goods, it's like.

1243
00:46:28,500 --> 00:46:29,340
Neatly packaged.

1244
00:46:29,340 --> 00:46:30,180
Neatly packaged.

1245
00:46:30,180 --> 00:46:32,020
Plastic bags of yarn.

1246
00:46:32,020 --> 00:46:32,860
And it's like.

1247
00:46:32,860 --> 00:46:34,120
No ice cream, just string.

1248
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:35,960
Wow.

1249
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:36,800
I'm so disappointed.

1250
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:37,640
I'm so disappointed.

1251
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:38,460
I'm so disappointed.

1252
00:46:38,460 --> 00:46:43,180

1257
00:46:51,820 --> 00:46:54,580
No, because you kept talking about the craft.

1258
00:46:54,580 --> 00:47:09,580
It's a good movie.
