Soo... I’ve not been online for a loooong while.. And now I’m gonna figure out to do this tumblr thing. 

One of my favorite people in the world, Snuffes, has this amazing group of awesome people that she found here and I wanna figure out this tumblr magic!

God it’s been a long time since I attempted to animate a thing

This was mostly a test for a bigger thing I wanted to put together, but since I only have so much time this weekend, this is as good as it’s gonna get for now.

this is a very nice trick.

Preventing Vertical Slanting while Crocheting in the Round

Similar issues had been brought up before and I provided a few tricks, but today I discovered one that used basic single crochet. It is probably common knowledge, but I have never, EVER seen it covered in any beginner’s crochet tutorial that I’ve read and I am a little annoyed that I didn’t know about this sooner. Credit goes to this post on Crochetville for the fix.

Basically, to get that vertical stripe effect without the stitches slanting, do all your single crochets in the front loop only. Using tighter stitches help, too–the example photo here is kinda loose and I had to do some tugging to get it to look as straight as possible.

I am aware that some people crochet like this by default and for the longest time I couldn’t figure out how they achieved perfect vertical columns (even just tightening my stitches didn’t quite work). It’s not quite as effective when you’re making something completely flat like a round potholder, though. If anyone has a solution for those, let me know!

LOOK WHO ARRIVED TODAY

What people don’t seem to realize is a feature of this little Baymax light - He has a breathing mode. His light steadily fades in and out to a slow pace to help regulate breathing. BAYMAX CAN LITERALLY HELP CALM PEOPLE DOWN. Aiden saw it and got excited and said I could use it when I have a panic attack.

I like to have white or ambient noise playing while I study, so I thought I’d share a list of my favourite websites in case anyone else was interested.

Rainymood - Allows you to play rain, with suggestions of ambient music to play at the same time. Has an iOS and Android app, my personal favourite.

Calm - A visually beautiful website. Provides moving backgrounds and an option for guided calm which allows you to immerse yourself in the music and to relax. Has a free app for iPhone. Another one of my favourites.

Showertime - The experience of taking a shower without the water. Allows you to control features such as length of shower, size of room, water pressure, etc.

Coffitivity - The background noise of a coffee shop. Allows you to choose between different locations such as lunchtime lounge, morning murmur  etc. Has an app for iOS and Android as well as a desktop app for OS X.

Soundrown - A website with a sleek minimalist design, allows you to choose between rain, coffee shop, ocean, fire, bird noises, or a combination of the five.

Relaxing Snow - Visually beautiful falling snow, the website gives you the opinion to play music with the scenery, or to choose your own.

Raining.Fm - This website gives you the ability to adjust the rain to exactly how you’d like it, with options to tweak thunder, rain and storm noises. Has an app for iOS and Android, as well as a timer and snooze option.
