I came to comment ala G.R.R. Martin that any King (punk) who has to say they are King (punk written on jacket) is not a King (punk).

agreed - real missed opportunity there!

Isn’t it technically 5 bean Chili?

…aaaaand thread.

Absolute truth.

Jesus Christ, man! There’s just some things you don’t talk about in public!

Pink, then?

I don’t even know what purling is yet, but I have a couple of inches of a scarf down using the basic slip knot stitch. I’ve had to undo some mistakes as I got lucky figuring out how to do those and I think I got it a bit too tight for some stitches, but it’s going! My first attempts I had to unravel like an inch of stitches already done 3 times because I got careless and lost stitches off the needles or something wasn’t quite right. So I’ve definitely done a few stitch on’s at this point even if it’s my first scarf. :) Now I have a rythm and like 10cm of scarf.

I’ll look at the video - thanks. At this rate it will be a month before I have something visible. Just doing keeping my hands busy while watching other things. Thank you for the generous and thoughtful responses!

Thanks for this. I went and bought a couple of needles, some yarn and I’m working on a scarf with just the beginner stuff. It’s chonky yarn, so I suppose it’s going pretty quickly (even if I’m slow). I looked at the instructions for the cable knit one and I’m confident I’m many many hours and items away from getting to that skill level. Thanks for breaking it to me gently. ;)

How long would this take an absolute beginner with no tools to learn to do and to finish a scarf? Is there a good place to start that you recommend?

fair enough - I don’t say it often, but sometimes it’s just too much of it and it’s triggering

I’ll just downvote them and move on

Can you post the original image here, please? I’m happy to be corrected. The hair looks wrong, the hands look wrong, the suit looks too wide, and the background looks synthesized. Even the tie looks like it isn’t right at the collar.

Fuck AI - please don’t spray this diarrhea all over Lemmy. We can do better here, friend.

If you are going this far why not Graphene or CalyxOS? Genuine interest…

True, but that’s happening one way or another. At least this way, the longer term goal may be nearer and save more lives in total
