#Need to wash and block it

Finished the tiny tot's winter vest! It looks washed out in the photo, but it's a really gorgeous forest green.
Pattern was Storm Slipover Junior.
Fairly good pattern, but read the instructions! The body chart goes much longer than it needs to, so this is actually a little too long for tiny tot. Which isn't too big an issue, he'll either grow into it this winter or wear it next winter. That's the benefit of a vest, no arm length issues.
Took a little over a month to knit, probably would have only taken a weekend if I'd had the time. Tiny tot still tries to help with everything. And by help I mean climbing on everything he's not supposed to. Or insisting I read books to him. Or screaming about wanting a cookie.
Glad it's done, now I can return to knitting lace!

#my art#jujutsu kaisen#jjk#jjk fanart#jujutsu kaisen fanart#yuji itadori#itadori yuuji#jjk yuuji#been trying some stuff out in an attempt to beat the artblock out of myself with hammers#and i LOVE how it looks but god it takes so long painting like this#i had a ref style i was going for that was a lot more washed out and watercoloury#and to be fair my take on it did start out looking more adjacent to that#u can still kinda see remnants of the initial watercolour washes in the collar of yuuji's jacket in th bottom one#but it Did Not Last fhdjfjjg what can i say im a gouache/oils gal#i can't use soft greys and watery inks i need stark blacks i need the reddest red the colour wheel will provide#one thing i did keep from the refs were the sharp prickly fine lines i think those look real cool against textured colour blocks#anyway ive also been having a lot of fun playing with rly rly harsh lighting on the hair#and even thinner linework put down after the colour as opposed to before#probably one of the reasons why it takes a lot longer but also it mimics traditional art a lot more#ill probably continue playing around with this sort of render ! or at least keep elements of it

"I love you..." Raphael whispered between kisses, bringing a smug smile to their lips. Ahh, how quickly they fall. It seemed like just yesterday he refused to even touch them, and now they had him wrapped around their little fing- "I love you, Raphael." Oh.
#haarlep#haarlep x raphael#bg3 raphael#raphlep#fghjkhh i went so far into 'i need to stop FUTZING WITH THIS' mode i almost forgot to post it on here#the writers block has been strong but i just kinda finished it in a blaze the other day so im officially washing my hands of it#and definitely not thinking about how many times i reread/edited the first half compared to the like twice i did for the last half#no siree

it's happening!
#knitting: chevron blanket#it was. so terrifying. putting this in the washing machine#but she survived! just gotta dry now#needed less stretching and blocking than i thought actually. this is very loosely done#which is good because she's taking up the entire double bed in the guest room#which is surrounded on 3 sides by walls#so some athleticism was required#in my knitting era#z

2 day socks! Turns out I don't hate knitting socks, I hate knitting socks using fingering weight yarn. These worsted weight socks were pretty fun and easy, other than casting off entirely too tightly. I always forget I have to do the ugliest cast off known to man to get them stretchy enough to fit over my heel, but it's worth never having to do any math for getting them to fit.
#knitting#knitblr#I don't own sock blockers but also like. I don't make fancy socks lmao they don't need blocked#blocking socks is wearing them and then throwing them in the washing machine#i have enough of this yarn to make at least two more pairs with the contrast heel/toe#but will i make them? who knows.#it would be nice to have a bunch of knit socks and since they'd be identical if i lost one/dryer ate it it'd be fine#but convincing myself to knit the same thing twice is Awful. brain hates it.

Also let me just say a big sorry to the people who sent me asks, I see them, I like them, I want to respond, but I鈥檓 having a brutal mental block when it comes to dealing with tumblr鈥檚 stupid fucking post editor (see other rants for more on that) for actual like. Posts and not just an image with a caption or what have you. I鈥檓 hoping I鈥檒l get over it soon. But I just wanted to say that cause I can feel them languishing and I want this mental block to go away
#it鈥檚 like. you know when you want to do something and you need the sink for it#but the sink is full of dirty dishes#so you can鈥檛 do the thing until you wash the dishes but you just. cannot force yourself to wash the dishes#it鈥檚 like that#I want to respond but I have to deal with the shitty post editor and I hate it#I鈥檓 off work this week though so hoping this block will resolve while I have downtime to chill and such#anyway love y鈥檃ll hopefully talk to you soon#memes will continue to pop out of the queue for a bit I had so many skskdjks#text#misc#shut up nerd

#looking at the pictures meredith gaudreau shared and as it always does when grief washes in - high tide and rolling waves of it#i think of that line from fleabage where ahe asks qhat to do with her love now - where to put it#because yeah. idk. the sort of chest caving want to punch yourself in the nose just to feel something other than the absence#I don't know what to do with it. // With what? // All the love I have for her. I don't know where to put it#so it's 5.30am sund morning & i have a lot of really nice stuff that i need to go & pop out on the street for street bounty/pay it forward#so many nice plant pots - god i really need to NOT buy things.. & a nice mustard coloured back pack & a bunch of kids toys that ive washed#& packed into clear bags & i lovely huge cushion and idk just stuff! oh an electronic scale as i had to buy a new one that showed %#(although i think it just estimates them despite the fact i bought a super fancy one. also it keeps telling me i am dyhydrated..)#(.. & i drink about 3.5L of water a day .. ?)#um then i will keep gardening. I got q lot done yesterday#i cleaned &w eeded & swept & & rehydrated some almost waterphobic pots & mived furniture#and now with how hot it is i MUST plant or it'll already be to late.#tw: grief#sorry i just do this on whichever blog im using the most#block the silv rambles tag if its super annoying#silv rambles

the next customer to ask me "what's wrong with your eye?" is getting thrown into the sea :)
#i have a chalazion on my lower eyelid#which is basically a lump that forms when you have a blocked oil gland#oil builds up behind the blocked gland and solidfies into a hard lump#i've had one before and it went away with warm compresses and eye wash (the standard treatment)#but this one has not gone away after a few months#and is huge and uncomfortable and extremely visible#and will need to be surgically excised given that standard treatment hasn't worked#but i haven't been able to get to a doctor for it because my health insurance is all tangled up with bureaucratical nonsense#(basically i'm in coverage limbo right now)#(waiting for multiple government departments and private companies to communicate with each other)#anyway i'm super self conscious about how it looks#and i have had FIVE DIFFERENT STRANGERS at work#all but one of whom were adults who should know better#just be like ''HEY WHATS THAT THING ON YOUR EYE?''#as if it's remotely polite or appropriate to ask someone you don't know about some clearly medical issue they have#feels great feels great#cass says things

actually fuck all that i said about the create being so fun, i just spent like so many hours trying to get one goddamn gravel farm to work and it still wont work right
#first it was too slow and then it wasnt actually crushing and now! it just spews the end product all over the place for some reason#my hand hurts from focusing too hard on minecraft#hellworld#hopefully i can finish it tommorrow but rn is buffy time so#ill watch some videos tonight which should help#but also i think i had just about got it i think i just have to put a chute on the bottom?#which stuff online was saying i didnt have to#ohhhhhh wait maybe i just need to switch the spin on the crusher wheel?#yippie just need to add in more gearboxes my favourite block in the world#hopefully at least#maybe ill sneak in some extra time just to try that out cause thats easy enough#hopefully it wont take this long for the rest of the system#i can wash this gravel for iron and also crush it again for sand which i can get clay for#and i very much need clay for bricks and terracotta for buildings#klepto talks to himself

You have no clue how much salad I've been eating since I got a veggie chopper. So much salad. Almost every day I have a salad. Wtf.
#also ive started getting pre washed lettuce which has made it even *more* likely i have a salad every day!#my biggest stumbling block with eating salads has been if i touch the ingredients too much im really grossed out about eating it#so pre washed lettuce + veggie chopper is a MASSIVE help bc i barely touch anything#ty random tiktok person whose video got copied over to tumblr. these are the kind of life hacks i need :')#yes it's almost the same salad every time but idgaf. i'm getting veggies & chicken and that's what matters!

tumblr's most unbearable truly coming out to get mad at me for making one little post about it being hot when hot women smoke
#evan says shit#just blocked a 41 year old#who said in their pinned post that being 41 and spending their time arguing online is actually really cool#and if you make a comment about them being 40 you're just mad you lost the argument#never met someone who needs to go outside more in their life. holy shit.#i feel like by 40 if you're still getting in fights with people on tumblr that's kind of it#like your life is a wash at that point#added nothing to the world. maybe detracted from it

#i was out doing family things all day and watched no hockey#on a day when michigan had an absolutely batshit game#but also where quinn gives josh first love norris a bloody nose#and as if quinn's self flagellation wouldn't have been enough they eject him#im going to watch the match back while i tidy my room/fold the washing as i need to know how we responded.#but the ref putting his arm across to block quinn back and i was like kid#he doesn't want to hurt him he wants to tend his wounds#(i realise that i have feelingsTM about josh/quinn and josh/jack and both are legit i stand by this)
