My bobbin-lace off the pins. Still monochrome to keep the secret of what colour it is in the remote chance my friend reads my tumblr. I wound too much thread onto the bobbins so I probably have enough to do a second one now 😃
Wish you were here!?!?! No will not be normal about this!

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
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.
I just have to shout out the sound designers on the Terror. On my rewatch (from 'Horrible from Supper' onwards), I'm really noticing how straight up disturbing the sounds are for some pivotal scenes. The Jirv murder with the off-key song, Jopson's crawling scene (I'm sure there are more but these two spring most immediately). Does anyone know if they used infrasound or some other low-frequency effects? I swear I'm getting the heebie-jeebies from the sounds alone!

You guys cannot fathom how badly I love people who have massive, uncomfortable feelings and old-fashioned souls leaking with love to be spread all around. It’s beyond me to want to get to know these individuals & be loved by them… I was clearly sent into this world to preserve plus value what is perceived as their weirdness…
I think I caught that sound change too! Also, in the final two episodes, even the wind and the rocks sound a bit different! Not to dox myself, but I've spent time in very windswept 'barren' places (southern hemisphere, and sand & small shrubs, rather than rocks) and there's different 'tones' the wind makes at certain times that give the creepy creepy feels. I think they used the 'creepy creepy' wind not the normal wind more in the last two episodes! And they changed the tent flapping a bit too (probably because the tents were getting worn out).

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.

feel free to add with other terror characters and their cats!!!
My partner just suggested he's the dolorous Edd of The Terror, and yes, Collins kind of is, but also no. Edd's dolorous, but he's realistic, he knows his world's shit, he's frustrated that other people seem to expect his world not to be shit, he's come to terms with his shit world & expects nothing else. Edd, in a weird way, is healthy in his dolor. Where Henry Collins is *suffering* , poor fella. Both of them brought to life by incredible actors though!
my favorite part about henry collins is that he would be having a bad time in every timeline. he's your coworker that's always fighting battles. he's hitting his bong on his smoke break and having a panic attack on shift. he gets in fights w squirrels he doesn't start and does lose. you would have LOVED ssris and weed induced psychosis ‼️‼️‼️
hey folks if you have an android phone: google shadow installed a "security app".
I had to go and delete it myself this morning.
