WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT "INSTRUCTIONS," I JUST GAVE THEM TO YOU

[so-i-did-this-thing]

seeing you get so excited about fiber arts is honestly so exciting & validating, especially as a "no longer a cute uwu smol bean" trans man in my 30s. it always feels so unpleasant being in fiber arts groups where people will address the whole group as "ladies," and it's really nice to have the reminder that there's more guys like me out there. (also that sherlock holmes shawl that you reblogged a couple days ago as of me sending this ask is a super easy pattern, and this is me giving the unsolicited advice of "turn your work after each round if you're making a granny square that big so you don't get the vortex of doom")

Thank you for the advice on the blanket!

It's ironic -- since transitioning, I am very cognizant of how much space I can take up as a man, but when it comes to my presence in the fiber arts, I do make it a point to push back on being treated as a novelty just because I am male.

But I also don't like citing things like, "Well, sailors used to do embroidery," to explain myself. I'm just tired of the gender essentialism all around. I like making things, and sometimes they are practical things and sometimes they are decorative things and sometimes they are both.

I do make it a point to participate in group chit-chat, especially when the ladies think I am ignorant or have no experience in whatever topic they are discussing. It's very funny to me to see their surprise, but it also helps, in a small way, to fight gendered thinking .

Who needs kitschy kitchen shit???

I've uploaded the entire booklet for anyone who wants it. No charge, just have fun! Sorry about the terrifying corn man. There's nothing I can do about him.

Enterprise became Lily's Sugar and Cream, so any of their dishcloth yarns will work perfectly.

Quick Tip: The booklet says to use a 2mm hook unless specified. This is absolutely stupid. Your hands will fall off. Use a 3.5mm. You'll get the tight gauge, and the items will only be about an inch larger. By my estimation, it adds about 20-30 yards for any main color, which is a fair swap for being able to use your hands when you're done.

When in doubt, make potholders!

The sun, the comet and the moon

Unironically, this is both my last art of 2024 and my first art of 2025! Happy New Year! I also want to thank @musical-chan and @aeghina for both helping me out with this one, their pointers really helped to elevate this work further in terms of realism.

Here is to another year of art and the chaos that follows it.

The Kitchen Line (Wave 2)

Updated some of the patterns and ultimately have decided NOT to continue to make lattice pies.

Have decided against Etsy as it is not the site it once was. Looking into selling my patterns instead of the actual products.

Thanks for checking out my little project!

Double sided pot holder concept! Involving a stained glass or mosaic theme

[sleevesareforlosers]

[ID. Two quilted potholders laid one on top of the other. The potholders are made with a "braided" half-hexagon pattern, each panel a different blue, gold, black, and white print with a swirled of geode-like appearance. Black sashing runs between the panels and the potholders are bound with black as well. End ID.]

On sale now! These quilted potholders are both stylish and functional. 100 percent cotton fabrics make the top and back sturdy, while an insulated batting layer keeps your hands cool even if the kitchen gets hot!

HEY LOVELIES GUESS WHO CAME UP WITH MORE SILLINESS WHILE PLAYING ZELDA GAMES

SO. Y'all remember how Blood of the Hero stemmed from me replaying BotW and wanting to spice up the story? Fun fact about me, I can't replay a game without creating a new storyline for it in my head. So Blood of the Hero came about because I wanted to replay BotW and change the stakes, change the gameplay, change the order of things, etc. I love exploring how you can complete the game differently!

I decided to replay TotK.

But I wanted to do it differently. I wanted to avoid the main quest, build up hearts/stamina and complete the side quests because frankly they're the best part of the game to me. So I was like "how do I complete the game without getting the sages or the dragon tears?" I was puzzling over what new story I could create just for my own amusement to help me complete the game like this, and it hit me.

It's freaking Mystery Link. Who else would avoid the Main Plotline like the plague? That man can smell Destiny's Call from a mile away and Noped right out of there.

It just--it fits so perfectly and now I am having an absolute blast. Becuase I had to come up with logical reasons why the game mechanics are the way they are for Mystery Link, so why is he almost naked at the beginning? It's because he was washing his one (1) set of clothes in the river and got distracted by Friend, so then his clothes washed down the river and off a waterfall and he never found them so now he's running around in his underwear.

And this poor man. Is trying so hard. To get some clothes. But he went to Kakariko and the clothing shop is overpriced because the owner's grandma is sick, and he feels for her plight but he can't afford these prices. So off in his underwear he goes. But wait! Hateno! Fashion central! Surely they have clothes! He goes there, and has to stand around and listen to fashion people argue over tickets to get inside, and eventually when they give up he gets the solitary ticket, and--

Sophie: Oh, well since you're the only customer now, you can enter. :) Mystery: THANK HYLIA, I can finally get some-- Sophie: It's only an exhibition, but Cece herself is-- Mystery: ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME

The best part is that the first set of clothes Mystery and I could find was the barbarian top, and y'all, he was so annoyed.

Mystery, finding a big shiny treasure chest: :D Mystery, realizing there are clothes inside: !!!!! :D :D :D Mystery, realizing it's a glorified leather strap and a pelt to wear as a miniskirt: WHY

I am having so much fun. Also, fun fact, trying to complete this game without a paraglider is hellish but Mystery Link and I are accepting the challenge.
