Progress? About 2/3s done. I did learn how I plan to weave these cotton ends, Ordered a new, sharp tapestry needle. Wish I’d realized that I should have used his link to order them. I will next time.
Body & border are both 50% knit; sewing the border & weaving in ends (this last skein had knots!) will take some doing, but I’m on schedule for this bridal shower.
Applying for jobs is a hell designed specifically to torment autistic people. Here is a well-paying task which you know in your heart and soul if they just gave you a desk and left you alone and allowed you to do it you would sit there and be more focused and enthusiastic and excellent at it than anyone else in the building. However, before they allow you to perform the task, you must pass through 3-4 opaque social crucibles where you must wear uncomfortable clothes and make eye contact while everyone expects you to lie, but not too much (no one is ever clear exactly how much lying is expected, “over” honesty is however penalized). You are being judged almost entirely on how well you understand these very specific and unclear rules that no one has explained. None of this has anything to do with your ability to perform the desired task.

I bought Cover Up With Nicky Epstein so I would be sure to have lots of info & a good pattern. A lesson in errata. Always check errata. The chart & pattern were both kind of a mess.
seen a lot of these with your favorites, but reblog with the CURRENT book you are reading, show you are streaming, the last movie you watched, and any game/puzzle/crafts you’re working on
