Today I learned that @neil-gaiman—among others who I was happily surprised to see—modeled for a book of knitting patterns called Geek Knits (2015) by Joan of Dark [Toni Carr] with photographs by Kyle Cassidy (ISBN 9781250051387 for those of you interested in the patterns!).

The wild things you can find in your public libraries lmao.

The pattern modeled below is the Baker Street Hat by Joan of Dark (pp. 138–41)

Happy Birthday to Norway!!

LOOK TUMBLR I MADE A HAT

[xandrikart]

In this post's tags I said that I might drop a bonus. Here it is!

I am not satisfied with the work because I changed the composition the last moment and dropped some details that, I think, helped to better understand the story. And the story is that those are the gifts for Chetney!

And before I started drawing the fanart itself I came up with the designs for each carved wolf because it's fun (even when I knew that most of it would be lost). Here they are!

You can find text from the images here below

Gifts for Chetney! FRIDA: They tried to learn by copying Chet's work. But they weren't sure how to finish the bottom. Imogen: …I think it's a horse. Ashton: Soapstone carving! Also, when you google carved wolf 90% of them are howling. So I made sure that Ashton's isn't. FCG: They made it with their saw out of a wood block. Laudna: She did carved the wolf's head. Dorian: Visual arts can be difficult. He messed up the proportions a bit… But he decorated it! Orym: The beginner friendly carving. I think he would actually try to learn how to carve, so he would start simple (especially after getting roasted the first time). Fearne: Nailed it on the first try because she's Fearne. Then stole Chet's paints. Deanna: And Deanna knit the new hat!

the five outfits i’ve been wearing the last six months while i’ve been living out of a suitcase

[staenless]

While u think thistle is a complex character and I absolutely adore him and abhore over simplification of his experiences and relationships "party pooper Thistle" is so funny. Like don't you ever boil him down to a single trait unless it's him being a party pooper who hates fun. No Fun Allowed Thistle Thursday. Like it's so silly and funny I love it..

I love when I see posts like "Share how many crochet WIPs you currently have! I have 5, it's so many!"

Like, girl, I have unfinished projects from over a decade ago that I refuse to frog on the off chance I decide to finish them. I've found years-old projects I forgot I even started and will impulsively just finish it on the spot. I've started three different projects in the last 2 months, including one I started yesterday, that I already know I may or may not finish within the year depending on motivation.

The number of WIPs I have is infinite.

since you seem to know a lot of history, I was wondering if you could tell us a little more about norway and his role during ww2, I feel like not a lot of people talk about his importance as an ally.

Let's pretend this wasn't sent back in November! Of course I can!!And "a little" turned into a decent amount 😳

Norway declared itself neutral when the war started in 1939, but became occupied by Germany in April 1940. Throughout the war Norway played an important role helping the allies win. Note that there is also a lot to be said about Norwegian collaboration with the occupiers during these years as well, but that is not the topic of this post.

During the war Norway had both a military and a civil resistance movement. The civil movement was directed towards NS (Nasjonal Samling, the Norwegian nazi party and the only party allowed during these years) attempts at converting people to nazism, while the military resistance were building an underground army who were prepared to step in for the liberation and who also organized sabotages during the last year.

Norway’s government went into exile in London, and was in large responsible for Norway’s war effort and resistance. They took control of the Norwegian merchant ships and put it at the allies disposal, probably Norway’s most important asset and contribution to the war effort. The Norwegian marine and air-force also partook in operations along the Allies, and a Norwegian brigade was organized in Scotland, who were to partake in the final liberation of Norway.

The exiled government had an extensive running contact with the growing resistance back home in Norway, and could gradually provide the resistance with supplies and other support. Soldiers from the Scottish base were sent on missions to aid the resistance in Norway and conduct sabotages.

There as also a base for Norwegian resistance established in Stockholm, who were eventually allowed by the Swedish government to form a military force of 14 500 people under disguise of being police. About 50 000 Norwegians fled to Sweden during the war, and many Norwegians in the border areas aided them as guides over the mountains through difficult and secret passages – they also smuggled goods and supplies through the same routes.

The civil resistance was not exclusively organized, but included everyone who was not a nazi and could be as simple as civil disobedience. Teachers, parents, and priests opposed the effort to convert the youth to nazism by the NS through forced nazi curriculums in schools and obligatory youth service. Other examples of civil resistance were Norwegian workers sabotaging or not even doing the bare minimum at the jobs in factories for the Germans, and the publishing of illegal news-papers which were spread by people handing them to the next person. The most famous illegal news-paper was London-Nytt (London News), and were just Norwegian translations of BBC broadcasts transcribed directly from illegal radios.

The military resistance was known as MILORG, and this secret group had its peak in the last year of the war. This was when they began receiving guns, military equipment and professionals. During the last year they carried out assassinations and sabotages to a much more effective and extensive degree. MILORG was taking orders from the Norwegian military in London and coordinating with them, passing vital information back and forth.

When the Second World War began, Norway was the world’s fourth largest shipping nation, after Great Britain, USA, and Japan, with the Norwegian fleet being the most modern. When Norway was occupied and the Germans demanded Norwegian ships return to Norwegian ports, all of the around 1 000 ships set sail for Allied ports. The Norwegian government in exile commanded all Norwegian ships sail for securing supplies for Norway and the Allies. The ships supplied Great Britain with invaluable wares such as food and oil, and kept up the transatlantic trade during the war. The Norwegian sailors were also present at evacuations and invasions of occupied France and fascist Italy, North-Africa, and Normandy in 1944. The Norwegian ships were under constant attack from the German fleet and many sailors lost their lives transporting for the Allies, most of them working continuously for the five years Norway was at war. Almost half of Norway’s fallen during the war were sailors killed at sea.
