Little heads up, this post is tagged NSFW and blurred out but it’s completely innocent. Might want to change the tag. Nice crocheting by the way!
Oh, that was deliberate. It's gross, and I didn't want to give anyone the heebie jeebies. 🫠
And thank you!
Oh sorry, I guess I didn’t get the joke! This is why I need to drink coffee before I say anything 💀
Lol to be fair, it was a corny joke. My nightly edible kicked in just before this happened, and when I'm high I think people being unreasonably dramatic is hilarious - so I was like, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" It scared the shit out of my dog.
Are we the same person? When I’m high I put on dramatic personas, much to my amusement and my boyfriend’s confusion 😂😂😂
I'm interested in knitting and know how to do it a little, but very very amateur. Would you mind explaining to me what I'm looking at and what your joke means?
deciding that you really have enough yarn to finish the project and being wrong.
NB- not a knitter, but my mom is. I'm an embroiderer, and have played thread chicken with mixed results...
Yarn chicken is when you have a limited amount of yarn and attempt to finish the row — like the game chicken, where two people go to do something (kiss, staring contest, whatever) and the first to back down loses.
Our poster here was crocheting. She (assumption being made) lost the game of chicken.
Oh OK, thanks!! Actually it's funny I looked at this, concluded it was not knitting, then thought her title mentioned knitting so I referred to knitting. Looking again it does not say that haha.
Thanks for the reply!
I can't remember who said it, but I read a quote the other day that the likelihood of running out of yarn on a project is directly related to the difficulty of getting more. Hope your have another skein!
That would be a quote from the Yarn Harlot herself, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.
I don't think it was, it wasn't a hyphenated name - but I looked her up after reading your post and love her quotes! 🧶
