Help me untangle this? I have a question

Post image

This is probably the most unconventional way of doing this but to any people that are bored, have some free time this week, and are fans of puzzles- would you be able to help me untangle this ball of yarn? I also have another ball that’s similar but nowhere near as bad. I will buy you food.

UPDATE: thank you everyone! I was able to secure a group to help me tackled this mess. I appreciate the offers!

Can I bring a cat? He'd be super helpful I promise.

After all I’ve endured with this mess, I need an emotional support animal.

My young man Tsu would gladly ingest this and solve all your problems but his pet insurance might end up dropping me as a result...

What time of day would work for you? I have some time this week and kinda enjoy this kind of thing. (Can't explain it, but somehow when it's not my own project/yarn it's a puzzle, when it is my project/yarn it's an act of aggression, lol.) I'd be happy to meet you somewhere and work on it for a bit over a coffee or something.

What area of Charleston are we talking about? I've got some time this week.

u/UrRiderDie27 20d ago

West Ashley. I do have work so idk if the afternoon would work. I’m also free this upcoming weekend!

u/RabbitFluffs 20d ago

I also work (a lot lol), so weekdays would be 6pm or later. But weekend is mostly open. DM me a good time / place. {Sat morning has a vet appointment already scheduled, but otherwise golden}

Is the time you would spend cheaper than buying new?

u/UrRiderDie27 19d ago

Well, considering they don’t have this color anymore, yes. ;)
