Episode 38: Attention Deficit Knitting Disorder

All links to Ravelry are labelled as such. I try to include links to outside websites as much as possible. At this time, I am not including links for purchasing yarns, needles, etc. If I do, they will also be appropriately labelled. As a quick reminder: I am not affiliated with any businesses – I make 0 cash money from any links on this site.

If you’d like to show your support of the podcast, please rate and review on your listening device, follow me on instagram, and / or join the ravelry discussion group (ravelry link) if it is safe for you to do so.

You can also follow me on Patreon for outtakes, and other bonuses – all for free, or pay what you want.

During this episode, I spoke at some length about my own struggles with a couple of mental health related issues. I am unable to link to sources for the information provided because I am unable to link to my own memories, nor the class notes from my university days.

‘Husbando’s 2023 Sweater’ (ravelry link) has one major issue. The layout of the charts in the publication is mirrored to the positioning of the cables on the sweater. This has led to much confusion and double checking. Occasionally transposing ‘left’ and ‘right’ is very much an ADHD Brain thing.

The problem in a nutshell.

The fight against rose killing fungus infections took a dramatic and drastic turn – I have had to cut the bush nearly to the ground in an effort to disrupt the lifecycle of the fungi infecting it.

I forgot to take a ‘before’ picture. So instead I tried my hand at making one.
