Being able to draw your dnd character is truly the highest priviledge

Went to a pet expo today in the hopes of getting some new substrate for the Bug Box in the future (the local store recently closed down, so I've been looking for alternatives) and possibly seeing other cool little critters and.

It's been probably close to a decade since the last time I visited one, but there was surprisingly very little. Like, anything.

Like, not a single booth or stall selling terrarium supplies. None!

The only terrarium related stuff I saw were one (1) small table of a corn snake breeder selling their newest clutch of baby snakes, one (1) small table with few crested geckos for sale and a tank with few frogs in it. And a school advertising their animal related education that had some cockroaches and stickbugs on display. No supplies.

There was a small cat show, and some dogs, some parrots and actually a pretty good sampling of rodents but I'm pretty sure the hobby horse toy ring was bigger than the entire herp section. There was way more artist alley type stalls than there were anything related to terrariums. :(

Luckily there was also a food convention happening in the same building in the upper floor, so I wasn't left empty handed (fed myself with all the free samples I could get my hands on, as is right), but man.

I'm kinda disappointed. I remember it being a lot bigger the last time I went, all those years ago. I remember more reptiles, and ferrets, and dwarf hedgehogs, and alpackas and goats and just generally more everything.

Though I did get to scritch couple very friendly kitties and a gerbil, so still a nice experience (also seeing all the little critters in person, like the rats and the dwarf hamsters and the baby snakes and all the cats)!

How did you wrote Åse's name on the biography sheet?

I just hand wrote it in fire alpacka. The brush is 'cotton sawb ink pooling pen' and you an find it in the brush store for free.

Another puzzle-ish-level idea: you need to get inside a building but an invincible guard is stopping you while these things march inside, so you instead of fighting anything you just have to fly under an ALPackA while its leg is up and then stay underneath it until you're inside. This one I'm really curious how obvious it's going to be, no idea how clever a puzzle this would be...

Inspiration: Wily Machine 3 for the walking style, M.U.L.E. for everything else

in my fire alpacka, straight up "drawing it". And by it, hehe... i mean tnotheing

Is the New Blue Moon Lander enough?

The Angry Astronaut didn’t have to re-box the Alpacka. If he bashes on the New Blue Moon Lander enough, NASA might change its mind, or is it too late??? It’s never too late, it might take another 50 years but we will get there, I don’t think the Oil Tycoons can stop it this time.?? If the Future develops as I believe, not hope, then we will be using Nuclear Space Tugs to travel from Earth Orbit…

[a-bee-wizard]

here are my ongoing knitting WIPs

Hippa Tulippa mittens:

i've been using them to test/practice various ways to tension my floats, and as a result the sizing is VERY funny. My plan is to knit the top part of the remaining mitten very tight so that they will at least kind of match lengthwise, and then hope I can block out the worst of my gauge sins.

Probably about 4 hours of work remaining? ~2 more to finifh the main part of the mittten (including some sewing and weaving in ends), and 1 hour each for the thumbs.

Poet sweater

I love this yarn!!!!!!! it's an alpacka/silk blend, and im already planning to use it again, soon!! The sweater looks kind of weird since I haven't blocked it yet.

Maybe about 5-6 hours left? The stockinette part is fast, but the half twisted rib on 3 mm needles took FOREVER on the first sleeve, lmao.

Woolly waffle sweater

So first of all: this thing should be moved to a longer cable because it looks so sad. Second of all: some of the construction choices for this sweater are super weird. Like i've never done an "m1" increase - as in NOT M1L or M1R, just M1. AND it has short row shaping, but not really any proper short rows? i think it's optimized to be as easy as humanly possible to physically do for someone who has never knit a sweater before, but as someone who has i'm constantly thrown off guard. But I mean, it WORKS so i'm not complaining.

Also this yarn (peer gynt) is the first proper scratchy wool yarn i've used (i have a lot of texture hangups) and im not sure how i feel about it. The texture is BIZARRE, it's like almost rubbery? I think it's going to feel and look great with some actual use (so it can absorb like. skin oil) but knitting with it is very strange.

I guess about 20-30 hours more work? That folded hem (half twisted rib AGAIN) took forever to do.

In the pipeline (no pictures because i can not be bothered)

Merino socks. I impulse bought some sock yarn this summer, and need to get started on those once i finish the mittens. I want to knit them top down with 2x2 ribbing along the leg/foot. It's been a while since I did a heel flap and gusset, so maybe i'll do that. I know some people have a real bee in their bonnet about heel shaping but i just don't care - i just do whatever i feel like.

Mmaybe about 10 hours of work from start to finish? I'm not really a sock person, idk.

Mohair hat. I haven't knit with mohair before since it's kind of expensive and looks Very Texture (derogatory), but i think it can create a lot of cool colour effects and i'm ALL about that, so I want to at least try it out. Haven't decided on a colour yet though, maybe like a baby blue? OR: purposefully pick two different colours and see how they marl.

About 5-7 hours of work, depending on how much grief using two strands of yarn will give me lmao

Ankers sweater. I bought this pattern some time ago, but didn't get around to it for various reasons. BUT the other week i saw someone knitting it with two strands of my new FAVE alpacka/silk blend yarn, so now i'm all *george costanza voice* i gotta focus i'm shifting into alpacka/silk mode

[blue-shaded]

Did you know that llamas and alpackas lack upper teeth? They have a wide pad instead to mush food with!

I knew that! I had a friend who was obsessed with alpacas and she'd give random bits of information out every now and then. Its neat!
