Hello!

[gloom_and_rainbows]

Name: Megan

Age: 40ish

I mostly post about: random mix including my hobbies, my feelings and a bit of fun.

My hobbies are: gaming, knitting and crochet (well really any fiber arts), spending time in nature, learning to code, reading, and listening to music

I'm looking to meet people who: are kind, are looking to interact as would really like to feel a part of a community

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia

Before adding me, you should know: There will be the occasional mental health, trauma and NSFW posts due to the topics covered, though will generally try to keep behind cuts.

Hello, sure and have added you so that you can check out my journal, etc. :) Plus sounds like we have a number of things in common already.

OMG hello fellow fiber artist!! So cool to see you around; nice to meet you!

[gloom_and_rainbows]

Nice to meet you as well! Have added you, feel free to add me back if you like.

Hey there, fellow gamer here! And your dealbreakers are the same as mine! If you'd like to be friends let me know!

[gloom_and_rainbows]

Hello *waves. I'll add you, and feel free to add me back if you like!

[saddlerfan]

Hey! Just added you back! And thanks for adding me!

[whimsigothic]

Hello - gamer, knitter and bookworm here too, with the same dealbreakers and also similar 'you should know'. Would you like to add each other?

[gloom_and_rainbows]

Hello and sounds like we have more than a bit in common - have added you!

Hello, I'm into arts and crafts but haven't posted much here. In my late 30's. Let's be friends? Feel free to read my profile

Hey Megan,
my name is Tina, I'm from Germany and I would like to add you. I enjoy nature, reading and music too, and I definitely can relate to the mental health stuff since I deal with some of it myself.
Our dealbreakers are pretty much the same and I really like your username :)
Want to give it a try?

[gloom_and_rainbows]

Hello and sounds good to me! Have added you :).

[einhornmaedchen]

Yay! Gonna add you back now :)

Hiii!

[mesmerith]

Hello! Big bookworm here with an affinity for video games... although I don't recall the last time I've tried crocheting =( As for nature... everyone loves nature! Would you like to be friends?

Hello! Sounds like we have a number of things in common and have added you. Feel free to add me back. Eventually I'll have a few more posts, but being brand new my journal is a bit sparse at the moment.

[lordhellebore]

Hey! Reading and fiber arts, yay! I'm kind of a book addict, I crochet and am trying to learn how to knot and embroider :) Same dealbreakers, too.

[gloom_and_rainbows]

I am slowly getting back to being a book addict, I realised it was a great way to slow down my mind and get away from the constant scrolling. Plus it's nice to have something to do with my hands, with the fiber arts. Have added you, feel free to add me back!

[lokiofsassgaard]

Hello, fellow fibre artist! What sort of things do you make?

[gloom_and_rainbows]

Hello! A lot of hats, a few socks, and about 5 projects in progress including a jumper (sweater) if I ever finish it!

[lokiofsassgaard]

I've never been able to get the hang of things like socks and jumpers. Completely does my head in. Instead I do massive blankets that take half a year to finish, and then live in my closet forever because I have dozens of them haha

[gloom_and_rainbows]

I wish I had the patience for blankets! One of my WIPs is a crochet blanket that when the motifs are all seamed together will look like the carpet in The Shining. I keep telling myself if I did 1 motif a weekend.. but then I never do. :/

[lokiofsassgaard]

I'm currently working on a giant stash-buster and have about three colours to go. It's just a bunch of chunky stripes, but I need to get rid of all my left over solid colours so I can justify buying new without my husband rolling his eyes at me haha

A blanket that looks like the Overlook carpet sounds mad sick though.

[gloom_and_rainbows]

I didn't want to link to Ravelry, in case you are one of the individual's impacted by the site redesign a few years back which makes it inaccessible for some - but here is the pattern: https://www.kraftling.ca/shop/the-shining-blanket-crochet-pattern

[lokiofsassgaard]

The thing that bothers me about Ravelry is their insistence on making you have an account to use it.

But that blanket does look awesome. Good luck on it.

[grimmrow]

I like you. You're awesome. ♥ You should add me back.

[gloom_and_rainbows]

Thanks and added!
