I Just Have To Shout Out The Sound Designers On The Terror. On My Rewatch (from 'Horrible From Supper'

Another excellent collection!

i am completely fine in an “i have been mentally unwell for years” kinda way

Had to make myself some grey fingerless gloves. Terror brainworms made me do it.

I noticed when looking for reference pictures to explain to my non-The Terror friends why these gloves were so necessary that the characters whose gloves are closest to this either have full fingers (Crozier) or are fingerless but without ribbed tops (Blanky and Jopson), but I'd already made the ribbed tops of fingers. They're very comfy & utilitarian though, I'd bet money that at least *one* of the guys had ribbed-top fingerless gloves!

They're in 8ply 100% wool, so not completely historical (they would've had finer yarn in the 1840s) but made with what I had (historical in spirit then, since 'use what you've got' is historical). I knit loosely so these are on 2.50mm double point needles at 6 stitches per inch.

I'm cursed to live in a warm climate so I won't get that much use out of them but sometimes I make things for the *vibes*

#oh oh oh #radiohead

POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS: i am not a creep. i am not a weirdo. i do know what the hell i’m doing here. i do belong here

Sir, yes sir

Terror brainworms: I had to make a welsh-wig.

I decided not to do the 'curls' as they are on the show because they absolutely *eat* yarn and I didn't have that much left of this grey (that matches my Terror-inspired fingerless gloves). I think these garter-stitched double-ups will be just as effective as curls or bobbles would be for the purpose of a welsh-wig (they stop water dripping down the back of your coat).

I made them by knitting the current row of stitches together with picked up stitches from a row 7 rows previous (basically - pick up a stitch from row 7 rows behind, knit it together with current stitch, pick up new stitch...and so on).

This is in dk-weight (8ply) 100% wool at 6 stitches per inch, like my gloves (not historical as it's not fine enough, but yarn I had on hand, plus some close-but-not-that-close darker yarn when I ran out, which I think they definitely would do in the 1840s). I feel like one (at least) of the Terror boys would have mended their wig with some other yarn!

I've put this on Eric, a stuffed hippo, who is why my tumblr is called 'hippocrafty' - the original plan was for Eric to model my crafts. I'm a) cursed to live in a warm & fairly dry climate & b) have long hair, so I won't get much use out of a welsh-wig for its original purpose, but it's a warm comfy beanie with a bit more to keep my neck & ears warm when I have my hair up so I'm very happy with it.

I love everything about their dynamic!

Couldn't leave it in the reblog tags, so poignant that they might be having "goodbye dinner" 😭

The Terror Rewatch: episode 3. Does anyone know anything about why they still set Lieut. Gore's place at the wardroom table?

Just seems absolutely peculiar to me that they're setting his place out at the table (nice china & silverware and all) when he's died.

too many frozen boys!
