Sir, Yes Sir

So I was calling this ellie John Bridgens, but then I started doing this

Re-naming him Jirv, obviously.

I had to go and delete it myself this morning.

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*

I knew *someone* had ribbed-top fingerless gloves!! Our favourite boy who FUCKS, but more importantly, who CARES, Solomon Tozer!

fungible should mean you can turn it into a mushroom

Do you think he ever forgave himself for asking Franklin to stay during the hunt for Tuunbaq?

Wish you were here!?!?! No will not be normal about this!

I don't post my craft here much but decided I'd like to try to. This is what I'm working on at the moment:

I make bobbin lace: at the moment I'm making a bookmark for a friend (what colour it is is a secret, hence monochrome photos) in Gütermann 100% silk on 12 pairs of bobbins.

too many frozen boys!

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).

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!
