genuinely wild that they dropped it in in episode 1 with no explanation, who is consulting for these people
It's a really specialised Fair Isle term! It's the teeny tiny designs that aren't the main motifs and the word means 'little'
I can't bring myself to be hopeful about a sensible decision in December, but fingers crossed eh
oh yeah should update that photo oops
Fans of #strictly and giant spreadsheets will surely love to unwrap Every Strictly Result Ever as a tea towel at Christmas.

Highly information dense, less responsibility than an art print, also functions as a tea towel.

Suddenly a wild Bosnia & Herzegovina appears with all debts cancelled etc etc
My pure heart says 'It's lovely they're bringing back the gang for the 70th!'

My cynical head says 'They'll be making sure there's enough returners to cancel out the boycotters then'
when Rowan emailed me after the show trying to sell me boxes of Big Wool to make my own struggle tank top I began to understand why the show exists and I don't think it's going to work out for them
it was so weird - they really expected you to know your technical terms but then explained what intarsia was. Made no sense
i need to go and sit down for 3-5 business days to take it all in
ok now *I* have to track this down too
Can't decide if he should do a big I QUIT THIS FARCE in episode 2 or just claim to have terrible RSI from having to touch the abhorrent chunky and drop out.

Do you know why it's not finished? BECAUSE KNITTING COVERS FOR SOFAS IN 10 HOURS IS NOT A THING #GameOfWool
Yeah that would have been even worse, I am already at peak second hand social anxiety from them making them team up anyway
#GameofWool Holger is as disgusted with this as i am but unfortunately for him he's in it
#GameofWool failed group hug oh god i felt that from here
You could also have a swatch based mini challenge - invent a colourwork motif, a texture stitch, a cable, lace motif and display it to its best in the most appropriate yarn
#GameofWool trying to imagine a version of this show with less of a cursed vibe - I think you have to lean into the slowness of it and give people a week to do the construction between design weekends. Give them kit to do video diaries, bring their lives into it, make it chill.
#GameofWool
there'll be no blocking here
this is not a place of honour
#GameofWool All these reality craft shows are secretly project management shows. You should come out with a Prince2 cert and your own Gannt chart stencil.

Am watching #GameOfWool but not sure whether I can cope with a gentle, individual, reflective activity being turned into a sort of team working time stressed nightmare
