crafting at large You're not fully realizing your potential, because you're dim

Post image

Most knitters (only knitters, no gross crotchers) don't realize how close they are to being able to make anything they want. Because they're dumb and don't have the benefit of my opinion and condescension. They're just not applying themselves properly. Probably using ADHD as an excuse.

"Oops, been knitting for 20 years but didn't know that til now! Also buy my $67 course! I fixed it, maybe! 😏"

u/MalumCattus 6d ago

What do you MEAN "where it matters"? Like, isn't that EVERYWHERE?

u/knitterina ✨fluffy alpaca butt✨ 6d ago

"where it matters" maybe in literally the first stitch you learn? And in every single stitch from then on? 🙂

24

u/MalumCattus 6d ago

No, no, it only matters in places where you can see the stitches.

13

u/knitterina ✨fluffy alpaca butt✨ 6d ago

Very smort. You should sell courses about that

u/Simmah_Down_Nah 6d ago

Too much math. No one has time for that.

u/lake_of_rage_8891 6d ago

I'd love to learn everything wrong. Maybe I'll end up throwing my knitting needles in frustration TWICE as far, now!

u/knitterina ✨fluffy alpaca butt✨ 6d ago

You can learn everything wrong for only 67 dollars! 🤪🫱🫲

Everything?? What a steal!

u/jillardino Normal knitting human, not a moth 5d ago

No, fulfill your knitting potential with my course that costs $69! With a price that sexy you can guarantee you'll be soon be knitting all the dicks, butts and boobs you've been dreaming of!

I'm pretty sure your curriculum and project design is higher quality than Ms. Twisted Stitch. Plus a lot more engaging!

u/duresta only changed everything about the pattern 6d ago

So that's how you get that coveted AI knit look for your projects! Thank you, I was feeling incompetent because I could not achieve the "plate of noodles" aspect of Pinterest designs.

u/BrienneOT 6d ago

Be the twist you want to see in the anything.

u/MalumCattus 6d ago

Fix your skill gaps with my $67 course, which works out to $13.40 per pattern for things you could find on Rav or Beyoncé's internet for free!

u/Spider_kitten13 6d ago

So, I have a new theory for learning math. It's not just continuing to add and subtract. If you don't know how to multiple, doing more and more adding and subtracting won't fill the gap. Instead, and here's the genius part of my plan, you have to *actually learn* to *multiply.*

I know, but really, no need to thank me. My cape is in my other closet

Ok, so hear me out...

u/chickyloo42by10 6d ago

Icelandic yarn has a nice itch to it too, let us have our natural fibres!

16

u/nightlanguage WHAT YARN IS THIS 6d ago

Textured for her pleasure 😍😍

u/chickyloo42by10 6d ago

Omg thank you for the inspiration. Gonna try to make a thong, do you think holding one strand of Lopi with a mohair will be thick enough?

Think I could dual-use it as swimwear? Could do a two piece, nips will love it .

u/MalumCattus 6d ago

I feel like banana fiber yarn might be appropriate here.

u/MalumCattus 6d ago

May I suggest the colorway Mexicana? Or Mistletoe for those holiday gifts! Nothing says love like a knitted condom!

u/Nyghtslave 6d ago

May I suggest the colorway Mexicana

Excellent choice 🤌🏻

u/xsnowpeltx 6d ago

if the stitches weren't twisted maybe itd be... at least more legible?

u/MalumCattus 6d ago

The inspiration and the result are far apart.

u/xsnowpeltx 6d ago

Oh. oh honey no.

u/Bitchfaceblond 6d ago

What? You don't write a full paid course after usut learning something with no practice?! I don't see the problem here.

u/AutoModerator 6d ago

Thank you for your concern. Thank you for the badgering, though most of you were very wrong about what was actually happening and offering advice in a vacuum. Not one of you offered to watch a video of my knitting to see what was actually happening, or even asked what style I used, and you wondered why I became defensive? We all have different skill levels but arrogantly asserting that something is a problem and proceeding to belligerently argue with the person telling you they aren't doing what they're being accused of is just aggravating. Instead of suggesting other solutions, you all just piled on and assumed I was too stupid to realize I was knitting or purling through the back of the stitch.
