Day 23 - Guilty pleasure

Rigour by ktula

I don't believe in guilty pleasure bc if it makes you happy, enjoy it guiltless. But sometimes, a fic just has something you have thought about many many times and never told anyone. And it plays out in front of your eyes and you feel seen. I'm not going to say exactly which scene I'm talking about (tumblr would kill me for that) but... you know...

About the fic now : Sophia I love you. Dundy, you're so stupid. There's something so entertaining to seeing him pine sooooo hard for Graham despite what they're doing. It's amazing

Other highlights of the fic : trans Graham Gore <3 Graham Gore in a kilt <3 I love him sm it's unreal

Every day I wake up and unlock another character from The Terror. Saw a gif set the other day and sure enough there was Edmund Hoar, someone I thought was just a name drop character, doing his background steward duties. I'm half convinced I'm gonna log on tomorrow and see a picture of a guy all bundled up with only 10% of his face showing with the caption "RIP Mr. Hornby gone too soon ❤️" What's next? You gonna tell me Pilkington is an actual onscreen dude and not just a name they keep throwing around to make it seem like they have more friends? It's like we just keep inventing brown haired scurvy ridden lead poisoned white guys except they've been there THE WHOLE TIME I've never had so much fun putting names to blurry faces of background characters before the whole experience is just like

Do you think Tom Hartnell said "It won't change what we do for him" to Golding because of John? Because he lost his brother and remembered the pain (it wasn't as fresh anymore but he was still carrying it with him) and whether he knew someone personally or not he couldn't stop thinking "That's someone's brother. He was John to someone"

Also, John's body was prepared really carefully and he had a blanket and pillow in his coffin, and while a lot of that can be put down to Tom (and potentially Strickland if you believe they're cousins), maybe he was thinking something like "My brother wasn't anybody to a lot of the people who helped while he was dying/after he died. I need to give that care back to them"

Because at least John got a coffin and gravestone. At least he had a proper funeral. They can't bury the men killed by tuunbaq beacuse there's so many bodies and relatively few men to bury them, and everyone's ill and weaker than they were two years ago. But he can try to honour them. He can help clean them up and give them a collective send-off. Friends, family, co-workers, it doesn't matter. It won't change what they do for them

So I was reading I May Be Some Time by Francis Spufford and

[The masculinity of Arctic explorers was built] around a set of virtues conventionally recommended to women. Endurance, perseverance, resignation: all three were excellent things for every Christian soul to aim for, but all three, more particularly, formed part of the equipment with which a virtuous woman was expected to face the tribulations of her state. (p. 129, emphasis original)

and

[Now it seemed] that the travails which so assuredly made men of them also, in a sense, made them women; which produced a sort of sympathetic equivalence between mariners surviving the huge indifference and overmastering cold of the Arctic, and the travails of a lonely governess amidst a chilly household. It meant that Arctic heroism, strangely, was relevant heroism, with the natural environment of the poles compelling men to wait, suffer, and be patient, in the same way as the human environment compelled women. (p. 130, emphasis added)

The C(r)ozier Cowl (with pattern!)

I FINALLY DID IT, and I'm so incredibly pleased with how it turned out (it's also maybe the warmest scarf I've ever knit, the Terror costume design people knew what they were doing)

Details and pattern below the cut, along with more pics!

Details:

This infinite loop cowl is a knit recreation of the scarf/cowl worn by Captain Francis Crozier in the first season of the tv show The Terror (2018).

The choice of yarn is, in my opinion, very important to the accuracy of the result. The pattern is quite simple, so getting the right yarn makes a big impact. My suggested yarn is below.

This is knitted in seed stitch at a very tight gauge, using a worsted weight yarn on size 4 needles. This produces a gauge consistent with the scarf from the show (did I measure Jared Harris’ eye and use it to calculate gauge from a photo of Crozier wearing the scarf? MAYBE SO). It makes the knitting a little hard on the hands, but the resulting fabric is DELIGHTFUL—super dense, and since the cowl is knit as a tube it's double thick and, in my experience, nearly entirely windproof. THIS IS A VERY WARM COWL!

After looking at too many screenshots, I ultimately determined that the article in the show is in fact a scarf (you can see the edge VERY briefly in one shot). However, I have designed my version as a tube cowl, as it more easily reproduces the look of the article as worn in the show (doubled over and in a continuous loop around the neck with no edges visible). You could produce a scarf instead by knitting this flat instead of in the round—cast on the same number of stitches with a long tail cast on, and then only knit/repeat row 1 (consider adding a seldvege edge).

If you have questions or want tips, or just want to show me what you made, hit me up!! I’d love to chat.

Materials:

3 skeins (approx. 660 yards) Cascade 220 Heathers in color 2445 Shire (google it to find purchasing options, or ask your local yarn store to order it!)

Size 4 needles; either 16 inch circulars or double-pointed

Stitch marker

Yarn needle

Instructions:

Provisional CO 72 stitches on size 4 16-inch circular (or double pointed) needles to work in the round. Place marker.

Row 1: k1 p1

Row 2: p1 k1

Repeat until cowl measures approximately 54 inches (4.5 feet; 137 cm) or desired length.

Unpick provisional cast-on, placing live stitches on any spare circular needles or dpns. Kitchener stitch ends together (tutorial for doing so in pattern here).

Wear as a single or double loop.

Now go have some glorious homoerotic tension with your second in command!
