Why does she think that’s worth photographing and posting
As a knitting expertAs a knitter, do you think she should be sewing these squares so that the rows of each square are at right angles to the next? This is how my mum did it, because she said it stopped it from going out of shape.
Though I suspect you are right, it is a moot point, it will never be finished.
That article was written by someone who has never had to work for a living in any sort of normal environment. It is a load of cringe making twaddle. Sometimes you are not in a position to exclude from your life those that do not value you, you have to work 7 hours a day with them.Just had a wee scroll through Jack's 'likes'. This is *fascinating*, seriously!

But! But! This isn’t about making a functioning scarf or blanket, it’s about making a long long string of wonky squares so she can get asspats about her sobriety! A pile of squares waiting to be sewn together has zero social media clout. Duh!So despite receiving advice not to sew till finished knitting, as squares will vary, she’s sewn them and they vary
You’d think she’d be good at blocking, wouldn’t you?As a knitting expertit doesn't hugely matter - it's an aesthetic choice. The real issue is that she's not blocking them...basically after knitting each square she should get it wet, stretch it to the desired dimensions, and leave it to dry. Do this before sewing the squares together, so the sizes are even and they hold their shape. If she finishes it and washes it, without blocking properly first, it could buckle and end up looking like shit.
Obviously bigger issues are a) she won't finish it and b) it's hideous. Plus weird symbolism - why choose something as dull and joyless as beige to celebrate sobriety?
Thank god for that, when you said it was fascinating I thought I may have been alone in thinking that it was pure bunkum.It just seems to me to be written BY a narcissist FOR narcissists - what a helpful guide for Jack
I shouldn't have been so subtle in my original post, it would have saved this confusion!Thank god for that, when you said it was fascinating I thought I may have been alone in thinking that it was pure bunkum.

I wonder how many cans she had! I was more shocked at the shed size.Didn't she claim Louisa made her get rid of it though (why?)
Don't mean to be harsh, but when you are horribly unwell you don't knit and you don't update Twitter.
In the picture with that article it looks like she's stacked them up on her sideboard shelves. Her house is so cluttered that in reality I suspect there would have been boxes of spam and hot dog tins all over the place. I can see Louisa getting really irritated by that. If she did store them in the shed and they were out of sight and properly stored then who knows.Didn't she claim Louisa made her get rid of it though (why?)
