Didn't have a chance to write up a detailed post, either on a fruit or the topic I was originally thinking about. I think they're neat and they taste good.

Thereβs 2 thing I would have NEVER expected as a teenager:
That Iβm a woman
That I would join a knitting group (well not yet. I still have to wait a few weeks)
I was looking for a new hobby and thought I would give it a try, because I found crocheting quite enjoyable as a child and I REALLY want some nice, custom sweaters.
But holy moly is yarn expensive.
(perfect emoji lol)
I just spent 100β¬ for 2 circular needle pairs, some basic tools and 22 skeins of wool, and almost all of those things were on sale. Like, itβs legit cheaper to just buy a sweater, unknit it and use that as a source of wool, because the prices in the fashion industry are just that insanely low.
Prime example of how ridiculous capitalism is.
Yarn is so expensiiiivvvveeeeeee and then before you know it you have saved up a ton of one off or two off skiens and need to find small projects to knit
Iβve already bought a bunch of one-off skeins.
But I can use them for practice or experimenting, I guess.
Experimenting is always fun!
Congrats on finding a hobby group, and having a neat hobby in the first place!
Thank you.
Yeah, my social worker has tried to get me to join one for 5 years now, but I never did until now because of dysphoria kicking my ass.
how fun!!
I hope it will be, because usually I hate monotonous tasks. But if I can listen to stuff or chat with others at the same time, I think I will love it.
