Tag: knitting

for some reason i was feeling bad that i only have the ribbing and one cable repeat of the front of the sweater im making but like. not only has it been less than a week since i started it, & not only am i a full time student w a job, i also have been simultaneously knitting a pair of gift socks the whole time which i will likely be done with before the week is out?? so like it’s fine, and i can chill.

The thing about knitting is it’s much harder to fear the existential futility of all your actions while you’re doing it.

Like ok, sure, sometimes it’s hard to believe you’ve made any positive impact on the world. But it’s pretty easy to believe you’ve made a sock. Look at it. There it is. Put it on, now your foot’s warm.

Checkmate, nihilism.

This is how I feel about cooking sometimes.

Maybe I can’t fix everything – hell, maybe I can’t fix anything – but look, I made soup; look, I made bread; look, now there’s dinner.
