I honestly can’t deal with second hand embarrassment in tv shows and movies very well I’ll literally pause it, internally scream, and come back in ten years

My nerds, my lovelies… the index fingers and thumbs on both hands are bruised and swollen from doing about 6 hours of knitting today 😐

Any of you knitters? Any tips to save my fingers, or do I just need to build up some callouses?

Also, I’m making a mermaid blanket and I, uh, may have made it too big. Like…it’s 400+ stitches around… 😖

Room for me and my cat I guess?

@sweetlyfez I do push the points with my fingers sometimes. Because of my over ambitious start, I’m actually using a couple sets of on-the-round needles (they’re fairly small to begin with. I think I would have needed two anyway, even if I’d sized it right), and they are not all the same size needles…which sometimes causes problems with too-tight stitches…and then I’m pushing the points… *sigh*

As the blanket narrows, I’m hoping it’ll happen less often (and also, the further into the project, the better I’ll get, right? lol)

@minementis I am using metal needles! They are, unfortunately all I have for knitting on the round (as I’m a newbie knitter), but I am definitely going to look into getting wood needles! Never really gave much thought before to the pros and cons of the different needle materials

@anie6142 I’m definitely going to take today off from knitting, and I won’t ever do 6 hours straight again. Planned breaks and stretches sound like an awesome plan going forward :)

@thedoctorknits I actually asked my husband for a hand massage yesterday! Yay! lol I generally don’t use hand lotion (as I naturally have very nice hands…its honestly my second best feature), but I will lotion up today :) and will check out that video

@yarnporn omg, thank you so much for these exercises! (Follow the link, my lovelies! They’re great exercises, and yarnporn’s blog is pretty awesome too) I am just starting out - this is my first real project (years ago I made a washcloth, and then never made anything else), and I am crazy for deciding it would be a mermaid blanket 😖

Eep! That sounds awful! Thank you, yarnporn, for sharing the exercises and your experience with me. I will follow your advice :)

Thank you to all of you for sharing your thoughts and advice! It’s genuinely helpful (as, prior to reading all your responses, I had fully intended to continue knitting today), and means a lot that you took the time to help me out :)

a nice post

There are now two things I will consistently reblog, this and any representation of the hierarchy of needs.

i typed “horg” into the search bar and found this site which taxonomically categorizes those little plastic clips you find on bread bags

this is blowing my fucking mind

this gets wilder the farther down i go

I knew this looked familiar and I found it on my old blogspot site from 2004! http://blindingnervepain.blogspot.com/2004/01/promoting-greater-occlupanid-awareness.html

I’ve been Google sleuthing like a madman and I cannot for the life of me figure out who this beautiful woman is. In the video they only refer to her as “Leela” (I don’t know how to spell it). The don’t mention her last name, they don’t list her in the credits at the end, nothing. This was in 1990 and she was apparently a swimsuit model. She was in the February 1991 Sport Magazine “Dazzling Women of Sport” issue. Does anyone know who she is?

I have good news and bad news. The good news is I found a box of my Dad’s old magazines and he had this issue:

The bad news is, in 1991 apparently nobody cared enough about swimsuit models to give their full names. Seriously, none of them get a last name in this issue except cover model Brooke Morales. 

Hell, SPORT even thanks members of the of the “federal tourism secretary’s office” by name but they can’t be bothered to identified the models. They thank members of the “state’s tourism development office.” The hair and makeup people get name-checked. Lela and friends?  Yeah, not so much.

So that’s all I can offer at this point. If you want to reach out to German photographer Gerald Forster for more info, dude’s got a website.

@timhulsizer OH MY GOD, you actually did it! God bless you, sir! See, this is another reason why Tumblr is so great despite the management and ownership. Okay, now that I have first name (or at least a pseudonym) I can continue my search. Can’t believe they didn’t give the full names of the models, though. What a bunch of jerks.

And yes, I actually did contact Gerald Forster to ask about her.

This has been an epic saga. I can’t wait to see how it ends.

This is the best anon ask I’ve ever received.

Things the right wing have trashed AOC for so far:

-Growing up in a house.

-Wearing a business suit on her first day in DC. (’But she is poor, and must therefore be dressed in rags!”) 

-Dancing in college with her friends

-having the nickname ‘Sandy’ in college. (I knew a girl called Alexandra in school, she was was called ‘Sandy’ because Alexandra was a mouthful.)  

I dunno, I think I called her ‘Sandra’ a few times???

Clearly a vast left wing conspiracy is happening here.
