BREAKING NEWS
I just learned about a bird species called Golden Plover. Their chicks have an amazing camouflage: their baby fluff resembles MOSS!
LOOK AT THEM! JUST LOOK AT THEM!
...Oh to be a tiny golden plover lying in the moss safe and sound waiting for your mom to bring you some worms...
I feel like we really lost something when we started looking at writing as a reader-centric product meant to appeal to the desires of a specific audience rather than a writer-centric approach of someone writes whatever particular thing particular compels them/whatever weird thing the demons in their head want to talk about, and people out there who are also compelled, and/or relate, find that writing. A lot of discussions of writing really center around what readers want rather than a writer's exploration. Sometimes as a reader I don't know what I want. I click on a fic or pick up a book I'm not sure about but that looks interesting, and I love it. Reading what I expect to get is it's own joy, but we always need to expand our horizons and not get mad at creators for not always writing what we want/expect.
completely impossible to take a good photo of a scarf but this is what I've been knitting since christmas. the yarn is malabrigo something or other and it's sooo soft and silky. would not recommend making a scarf though #boring
Another new small one. This is not my usual palette, but I had fun :D
I've done quite a few other Pokemon as well, Chinchou happened just because I bought some glowing yarn and wanted to make a Pokemon that glows. Ditto to use the leftover plush yarn from Espeon. Gengar, Drifloon and Mimikyu were Halloween projects but I also made Drif and Mimi as Pokemon Sleep predictions! Snom was a prediction too, but sadly did not happen 🥲
Mila is ready for big adventures, despite her tiny size. To prepare for those adventures, she picked out her perfect companion outfit, playful glittery short-alls and a cozy hooded cardi.
Crochet toad/frog pattern by Claire Garland
Short-alls designed by me
Cardi designed by me
She is made with sock yarn, a 1.5 hook, and wires.
Stellarium Dress
My original plan was to paint a planetarium dress with the Solar System as the main focus, but I got so carried away with making the dress go woooosh that the composition no longer works for a Solar System lol. I'm still happy with how this one turned out, and I still get to paint the actual planetarium dress later ahahaha The full hours long video recording, HD image, and PSD file will be DMed on my Patreon on March 3rd
Fingerless gloves made with cascades yarn in one of their blends of silk and merino wool from a LYS. My first attempt at a thumb gusset, they turned out great! Quick story: I was knitting these to distract myself from being 9months pregnant and knowing that baby was coming any minute. I finished them 2 days before baby came.
'You scared it off!' 😾
'No, YOU scared it off!' 😡😡
