So as part of
survivalist knitting, I'm attempting to
crochet a beanie out of paracord.
My thumb hurts.
Crochet: because I learned to do that before I learned to sniff haughtily at "girly," so it doesn't count as girly SHUT UP. Also, I forgot to buy knitting needles.
Beanie: it's just needling in circles, right? RIGHT? My thumb still hurts.
Paracord: aka parachute cord, rated at 550lb/250kg carrying capacity and not known for its
hand with respect to needlecraft projects. I'm using a padded size N crochet hook (translation: HUGE) and still ow.
All the actual yarn I ordered the other day arrived. Maybe I'll practice a few granny squares on that before re-attacking the paracord beanie with my thumb.
