TIL that when pulling the crochet strip off the top of a sleeve, you should only touch the very top middle, don’t touch the sides! I blame the steroids that I just had with my chemo, which made me super ambitious, and I completely forgot where I was picking, and I picked all down the right slope (in red). So that entire section of sleeve came off in strips of short yarn. It felt like forever to pull all of them out and make a pile. All I could think of was The Monster At The End Of This Book because the anticipation and waiting for it to be over was taking forever!

I wanted to make a post to help new unravelers steer clear of my mistake - it’s so easy to lose your place at the top of the sleeve and start going down the slope.

$5.99 Goodwill sweater, but so sticky! I needed to have my seam ripper in hand almost the whole way. Now that I’ve done a couple more unravels, it feels like the acrylic ones are harder to unravel, but maybe this one was just a little bit more felted. It was also a double track 😩. But I do learn more with each experiment!

I have a 2025 Bronco Sport. Today I was putting up the sunshade when I accidentally popped open a little compartment for sunglasses right in the middle of the roof right next to me that I’ve never seen before! 🤯🥳 This car is so stylish and fun to drive!

Got this gorgeous ombré sweater at Goodwill, it was my first double track unravel (not sure what the technical term is, but where you have two balls going at once). Now that I have unraveled it, I gotta think about what to do because some balls are red, some balls are pink, some balls start as red and then fade to pink 😅 but the angora made it feel so nice while I was unraveling! Not felted, but definitely was getting stuck here and there.
