Literally just learned to sew and have made one outfit and I still relate to this. The bobbin instead but like, wow, what a true post.

That's the game of bobbin chicken. Risky, but oh, the HIGH you'll get when you win.

And then just spending the next five minutes doing all kinds of weird needle yoga to get the last little bit to work out. Because I know I can get one more stitch. Pretty sure it would be faster to rethread, but... I already know I won't.

Ugh but retreading and wasting thread ughhh no.

I hate waste, I'm even composting my thread offcuts.

Someone please tell me the dye is ok for my wormy bois ๐Ÿ’€ I read you can compost cotton so in it goes!

I told my husband that I lost yarn chicken (knitting) and he directed me to this meme. He saw it in his feed a couple of minutes earlier ๐Ÿคฃ.
