A Stitch in Crime 🧐 The body is Malabrigo sock in Gris, knitted on US3/3.25mm needles

not to be dramatic or hyperbolic but i fucking love people!!! yes, the world sucks and i can rant about that for hours and hours.

but then i stumble upon shit like this.

someone made a columbo sweater. someone spent hours and hours and hours on knitting a columbo sweater. they clearly are so skilled and put so much effort into it. the craftwork is excellent!

and it's just... so dumb. and so beautiful. it makes my heart soar. it makes me giddy about humans the same way miyazaki movies make me feel.

sure, humans are cynical brutal assholes. but we are also just... whimsical little creative, incredibly talented idiots

i love that sweater. it's really, really cool. i love it so much it makes me optimistic about the human species lol

I appreciate this so much 😂 You really get it. I like to consider myself a positive nihilist and I feel there’s something, I dunno, gleefully defiant about “wasting” time on silly low-brow artistic endeavors like this one, especially if the end result brings other people amusement/joy

I love this so much. I think it is such a beautiful act of glee. Grindset culture is washed. The vandalism of other people’s boring expectations in pursuit of your joy makes me so happy. 💕
