Knotty Thursday: Chain Stitch Harness! And! The Shy One Gets an A+!

 

First, a Knotty Thursday moment of sadness: Mr. Adorkable told me on Tuesday evening, a couple hours before our planned third date, that he wasn't feeling a connection. I declined his offer to be regular friends (Probably unfairly, my brain was like "Not trying to be this guy's Fat Friend.") and devoted a good chunk of the night to sobbing, asking pals for good vibes, and talking things through with The Shy One. So I guess it's really TWO A-pluses for The Shy One this post!

Pretty soon I'll write a post called "The Goodbye Boys," but til then, there are victories to report!

Because I'd assigned this tutorial to The Shy One for his chain stitch lesson, I decided to try it myself. I learned so much! Not only did I make a supercute harness, I also did a clove hitch correctly exactly once!

AND I learned how to do a one-strand braid! You can kind of see it mixed into the bottom middle of the harness. I had just the LOVELIEST night with myself.

In other loveliness news, I tested The Shy One on his square knot and overhand knot last weekend, and he did perfectly! I'm so proud!
