I hate long-tail cast-on the most. I will use any other method I can unless it's specifically called for. I can only do this or the crocheted on one 🤦🏼♀️

Long tail cast on is my favorite! I use it for everything when cast on is unspecified.

I have cast on anxiety. I picked a shawl pattern (Knit Night) to work through some of my stash, but I can't seem to start it. Does anyone else have that getting started anxiety? I really, really hate casting on. I feel like if I don’t count the number of stitches multiple times they won’t be right (lol and they usually aren’t - casting on is when getting distracted tends to cause the most problems in my knitting).

Oh, I absolutely count my cast-on stitches multiple times. During and after.

I'm in the middle of crocheting a cocoon shrug and I'm so excited about it. I need more yarn though, as usual.

I'm working on a mini quilt for a swap I'm doing; I made a lot of progress this weekend! I'm kind of in love with it; I may have to buy more batiks and make another to keep.

@zweber I think a pompom tail and white whiskers would look cute.

@zweber adorable.
I finished a scarf for D and I'm working on one for T. I'm still working in my cocoon shrug but I ran out of yarn a few days ago and had to find more and I just haven't picked it back up.

I’m working on an embroidery for my bestie and I just finished all the leaves! But I don’t know how to post pictures so you have to believe me. I’m nervous about the flowers because they’re all blended with two colors and I’ve never done that before

bobyn, thanks :-) I'm trying some new techniques, and I think I'm starting to find my quilt "style".

My brother got my mom a yarn baller thing for Christmas and I got to play with it on Sunday. I looked at H and was like yea I need one of these. He just laughed and my brother's gf was like I'll send you the amazon link. lol

Wtfshouldmynamebe you're cat reminds me of the cat we had growing up. She was seriously the best cat ever. Mine was more white with some black and a black tail but I still did a doubletake when I saw your pic.

Mine was more white with some black and a black tail but I still did a doubletake when I saw your pic. He looks exactly like another cat I had which is why we picked him from the shelter. He also looks a lot like the one I had growing up. But he is seriously the best cat. He used to only stay on our second floor but since the pandemic he has decided the whole house is his, especially my chair.

I don't know what kind of cat it is but I even tried finding one that was like her and couldn't find anything close. The other cats I've had since then have been assholes. She always knew if someone was sick and would not leave their side. She would actually lay on top of me until my fever broke when I was a kid. She was so loving, even with little kids. I know I put her through hell when I was little but she still loved me. I have a picture where I fell asleep in my wagon n the porch and she was sleeping on top of me.
