assorted strawberry shortcake headcanons where i imagine them as chronically online, gen z ish young adults, but the information i'm drawing on is from the wiki, my mother's interpretations of the characters, and my vague recollection of the cartoons and playing with my mother's dolls

strawberry shortcake runs a baking-focused social media account and is the proud owner of several dozen pinterest boards with an ungodly amount of pins. she crochets her own clothes and liked the lirika matoshi strawberry dress before it was cool (she cannot afford it and would not have a good opportunity to wear it, but she dreams nevertheless). she plays minecraft with all the mizuno 16 packs. actually goes outside.

blueberry muffin is a book smart 'honors student' type, and is well-versed in classic literature. she also stays up way too late on ao3. she got onto the internet when she was way too young and was the type to very innocently warn her friends not to search up whatever horrors she saw (only for them to search up the horrors). she's spent way too much money on gacha games, but she tends to her garden to 'touch grass' and balance that out. she also thinks about stealing her neighbour's fruit, but don't tell anyone about that.

orange blossom got into art because she was super obsessed with minecraft animations as a kid and learned how to draw in the hopes of becoming an animator one day. she holds very strong opinions about bevelled minecraft character rigs, and is mildly tired of people irl constantly referring to her art as 'anime'. she travelled around europe in her early childhood but remembers absolutely nothing of it (this makes her so sad. she wants to go back one day to appreciate the art museums and architecture). she taught strawberry how to crochet and is a huge fan of sustainable fashion. she dabbles in pottery.

angel cake comes across as a rather straight-laced and sensible young lady- she sleeps at a reasonable time, does yoga, balances her duties and social life, stays hydrated, and performs well academically (she likes math). however she is hopelessly addicted to online drama. she doesn't necessarily participate unless she's feeling particularly spicy, and while her heart is in the right place, she is often overcome with the very human desire to Dunk. she follows the conversation intensely and knows all the who-did-whats and who-you-should-avoids.

plum puddin is genderfluid (she/they/he) and a biochem/genetics/microbio stem girlie. she's mildly snarky and 100% down to play the part of the mad scientist with wildly flexible morals. she likes to dance and watch video essays about queer sociology and feminist theory. they're online friends with tn honey but when they talk about her irl they refer to her as their 'overseas colleague'. they taught blueberry how pirate stuff off the internet when they were younger and she used that power to make anime amvs. he could probably stand to pop a multivitamin.

lemon meringue is a mildly successful fashion blogger who uses her platform for political activism- queer rights, climate justice, decolonisation, etc. most of her clothes are thrifted or handmade and she is disgusted at quite a few of her private school peers who buy things from shein. she's dating her childhood friend raspberry torte and has the privilege of being passenger princess when she misses her train.

rapid fire headcanons go: lime chiffon is plays a lot of video games and is addicted to monster energy drinks. she's an absolute beast at rhythm games like taiko no tatsujin, project sekai, and ddr, as well as claw machines. between lemon and raspberry, lemon is more outwardly sweet and raspberry is a can come across as a little unfriendly at times, but lemon is the one who holds grudges while raspberry is more forgiving. huckleberry pie is trans and did taekwondo alongside raspberry and strawberry for a couple years. apple dumplin is in elementary school and is a big fan of a series of unfortunate events (blueberry is so proud), but has only read the ones the library had available. purple pieman and sour grapes bully eight year olds in minecraft in their spare time.

Two things to add re: vintage knitting and crochet patterns:

The Antique Pattern Library is also free online. It’s a little bit obnoxious to sort through but well worth it.

Not free and possibly US-only, but Dover Publications offers cheap softcover and ebook editions of public domain books on a dizzying number of topics. They’ve been one of my favorite publishers for decades and are one of only 2 that I order from directly. I often buy cheap how-to books from them when I’m trying to get oriented in a new craft. (I may have some engraving and jewelry making books in my “if there’s money at the end of the month” list atm.) There’s some overlap between books you can buy here and books you can get for free at the link above.

Def read the op’s post for tips on how to work with vintage patterns too! They can take some extra effort to decipher.

Where to find free patterns

Vintage patterns can be a great resource for all sorts of knits and because many are out of copyright they are free to access. 

I have two websites I go to for free vintage patterns. They are freevintageknitting.com and freevintagecrochet.com. These are my first stop for newer vintage patterns because it collects old out of print pamphlets and makes them easy to read. The sites also have information on discontinued yarn, hook and needle conversion and more. They are a great start to historical (or vintage) knitting. 

For older books you can head to archive.org/details/knittingreferencelibrary. Books in this collection are simply photocopies so you would need to translate the patterns yourself. But it does contain Victorian to WW 2 books. 

Blogs and sites like Ravelry are also a good place to start looking for patterns. There are many free versions of vintage patterns and paid for ones can be helpful because the authors will do the work of updating the needles, yarn and pattern wordage. 

When working with vintage or antique patterns there are a few things to keep in mind. One is stitch definitions — always check what the pattern book describes as each stitch you’re making (this is very important for crochet!) Another one is to convert the needle size and find a good yarn substitution. 

Before you start transcribing or picking a new yarn, make sure it can fit you and if you’ll want to try grading. Vintage sizes are different than modern ones and it is best to use a guide to get an estimate. 

Here’s a quick chart with some measurements for vintage sizes https://purplekittyyarns.com/vintage-body-measurements-size-chart.

The next step is to start transcribing and depends on how old the pattern is. The older the pattern the more likely you'll want to read it through and decide if you need to transcribe it.

This can include typing up the pattern in a way which makes sense for you or to map it out on a chart. This can take a few tries and I like to start with smaller and less complicated patterns. Occasionally you might not even need to transcribe it. 

Next you’ll need to find the yarn substitution which will give you needles as well. If the pattern includes a gauge use that as a guideline to find a substitution. For a more in depth read visit https://knitpal.com/blogs/knitpal/how-to-substitute-yarn-for-vintage-knitting-patterns. 

And once you've found the size you'll need, made the pattern readable and found your replacement you're ready to start knitting. Happy cast on!

Shabby Chic Decorating Tips

Shabby chic has a reputation for being expensive, but you can easily bring this style to your home on a budget. Whether you paint your own furniture or buy shabby chic pieces, all it takes is a bit of sanding and a few coats of paint to achieve the recognizable rugged, time-has-passed look of this decorating style.

Tips When Decorating Shabby Chic

When you're decorating shabby chic, a neutral color palette is key. Choose whites, creams and tans for walls and furniture to provide a calming backdrop that's a blank canvas for small pops of character in pastel hues like misty blues, barely pinks and washed-out mints. Natural textures like crochet, linen and lace add depth to this look.

If you love the idea of shabby chic but find neutrals boring, earthy tones are a smart alternative. Shades of sand, taupe and grey feel neutral but warming and play up the laidback luxury aesthetic that defines shabby chic, reports Better Homes and Gardens.

Light neutral shades of blue, green and purple also work well with shabby chic decor. You can even create a soothing and relaxing space with soft floral patterns, including floral wallpaper, bedding and throw pillows. If you want to add more color, try painting a piece of furniture or using fabric paint pens to stencil flowery motifs on bedding and pillows.

Inspiring Shabby Chic Decor

Like the country cottages that inspired shabby chic, rustic materials and a worn-in appearance are important elements in this decorating style. Keep in mind, though, that the rustic ambiance should not become cluttered or messy. Instead, choose items that balance texture and material. For example, a quaint nightstand with chipped paint pairs nicely with a glass vase and coarse rope tabletop.

Similarly, pastels are often associated with shabby chic because they add a romantic and feminine touch to living spaces. Light greens, dusty pinks and sky blue hues work well for drapes, furniture, decor and wallpapers.

The Finished Space notes that shabby chic is also an excellent choice for home lighting because it promotes natural light. This allows for a soft glow that enhances the beauty of wooden furniture and other rustic accents. It also complements the delicate colors of lace and floral patterns. Moreover, the natural light can highlight imperfections that make a room feel even more comfortable.

The Main Key to Shabby Chic Decoration

As shabby chic decor has evolved, many have come to embrace the cozy elements that this style is known for. Homebliss notes that a key component of shabby chic is the use of fabrics and textures that are soft to the touch. These can include ruffles, checks, stripes and flower-patterned patterns.

Other shabby chic decorating ideas often include using a combination of vintage pieces and comfortable slip-covered furniture. This is where flea market finds and thrift store pieces can shine, but you can also make use of new furniture that appears old through sanding and special finishes.

The bed is often the focal point in a shabby chic bedroom, with a duvet, quilt or comforter featuring floral or other feminine motifs. Layer with throw pillows and shams in a variety of colors. A flannel bedsheet set adds to the warmth of this decorating style, but you can also go with linen or cotton instead. Visit several online property sales sites such as property.thegardengranny to get cheap chic houses.

[firespirited]

Aside from looking and feeling drained, I've had a nice week.

Still enjoying chilling with Stargate Atlantis even listened to a couple of episode commentaries (the writers have early aughts typical broey vibes though so that's off-putting).

Found a pair of shoes to wear this late autumn as my "vintage" vans mannaz fell apart. After I'd talked about the difficulty of finding shoes that fit me and how many I'd tried that didn't work out, Mum dug up a pair of hiking boots she'd forgotten to send back to dad and said he'd always had the same problem: wide feet with height just behind the toe area as the arch starts. Apparently getting work shoes for his teacher job that didn't hurt was quite a quest. They fit great except for the length so I went online, found the same brand "Queshua" and looked at their hiking shoes of the updated but same series/range. Ordered a male and female model in my size. Only the "guy" shoes fit and they don't have any spring in them like sports shoes do but sports shoes often end up too narrow. I can't risk buying them without going to a physical shop or doing a dozen returns. Queshua from decathlon have a free return from your post box and refund policy. Fantastic.

So basically, I'm elated to have been able to toss out the vans and stick the pastel gradient laces into my new all terrain, waterproof trainers. I'm going to look at their winter models for colder weather. It's reassuring to know there is a brand that tends to fit. I'm hoping to try the thrift store on the outskirts of town one day when the carer isn't too busy but that could be a while (why thrift? Because I generally don't fully know a shoe's problems before I've 'road tested' them) .

I also tried crochet again (every few years I try to knit or crochet from tutorials and it hasn't gone great, you all know I can't think in 3D, so like for the keyboard, it has to be muscle memory and mnemonics) This time I had two different youtube tutorials on half speed and could sort of 'get it' but for the life of me could not properly hold the yarn in the left hand. Mum was around so I sheepishly asked what I was doing wrong. Her first answer was "well have you practiced?" 🙄 (she forgets I'm not the 7 year old who gives up as soon as the dopamine runs out or gets distracted by shiny - i mean i am but I've learned to go back to practicing even if I have to make myself angry or use bribes and limits.) I dutifully produced my series of messed up lines and sat down to show her and she went "oh OK! you're doing it wrong, Here's how auntie Grace taught me" and wrapped the yarn around my little finger, using the middle finger as the main yarn holder and index+thumb to pinch the crochet. Then I had to leave because she kept telling me to "relax my shoulders relax your hands RELAX", I love her but I do not control the muscles when trying to practice a new hard (for me) skill for an audience.

That hands on tip was what made it actually 'take' this time even though I might end up using the ring finger instead. I haven't had much time to practice and made quite a mess of my first attempts at rows with a 3 ply yarn.

Today I was able to proudly show off a 5*30 stitch parallelogram (still haven't got the tension down) of thin cord, it took three tries... but not bad. I'm really hoping I'll be able to grok some more stitches and have something to keep the hands busy that's less taxing on my shoulder. I also need to ask her about auntie Grace, she's probably part of the deaf adult community mum grew up in.

Slowly working towards listing more dolls. You get stuck on junk decisions about whether to bundle, whether to dress them or one of the photos is too blurry and the whole thing stops because there's a missing step or piece. Plan derailed.

I've got incoming which helps with motivation: Elle eedee!!! I didn't click with her the first time then really missed her but now I know how I want to do her eyes. Twilight teens grey for Nicole Steel head (aliexpress 11.11 sales $5) and white.

A Catrine and pink haired Howleen. Catrine is a design I just love and was always put off by the yellowing. Now that I know more about straight peroxide bleaching, I really want another try. I also want to see what happens to that lilac turned grey hair and if it fries or just turns lighter grey, she'll be bald. Their cleaning will be top priority in general but not top on the project list as I have Barbie Marnie who needs just a few more lines of hair to be perfect, a 1/6th BJD to string (need to practice rotary tool sanding and buffing on a damaged barbie before I touch her resin) and probably switching out Jewel Richie's eyes, they're beautiful with the green shimmer details but the visible bevel on the 'baddie' eyes makes them hard to photograph and distracts from looking like a cohesive face. Oooh I might try a line of black acrylic paint first to see if that fixes the issue.

Voilà, big blurb. Not many photos they're all on the desktop. The dogs are happy and well, Lily is a bouncy frolicking 15yo, Talia is learning to be less afraid of the big world and other dogs specifically Gargouille and Elliot.

Talia also threw up in almost every room in the house today, with for her grand finale some raw hide bone she swallowed whole to concentrate on hoarding the other two from Lily. Chihuahuas either have Tardis stomachs or they are mostly stomach because the dimensions of all that came up don't make sense.

Highlights were sharing popcorn with sis and mum on Sunday just chitchatting. Long hot bath to warm legs cold from the inside out. Stunning sights as the sun comes out from behind the mountains:

How to Choose the Best Beach Outfits?

While there is no rulebook for choosing a dress for anyone, if you want to flaunt like a diva and stand out from the crowd, you need to make your choice wiser. First, you need to consider your body type or shape if you want to feel comfortable and enjoy your outing. If you are looking to buy online beachwear dresses, you need to consider some points. In this post, we have highlighted some of the ideas for you.

Let’s dive into it:

Cover-ups

When you need a bit of additional coverage or are strolling back and forth from the beach, cover-ups are perfect. There are several alternatives, including loose-fitting dresses, sarongs, kaftans, tunics, and big shirts. In the heat, breathable beachwear for women composed of materials like cotton or linen can keep you cool.

Fabric Materials and Color

When it comes to beach dresses, you should go for materials that are breathable, lightweight, and comfy, like cotton, linen, or rayon. You should also think about the color and design of your clothing. Darker hues and prints can enhance volume, but lighter hues and vivid prints can add definition.

Shorts and Tops

Women typically wear shorts and a breezy top to the beach. High-waisted shorts made of cotton, linen, or denim are a smart casual option. They look well with a loose blouse, a crop top, or a thin shirt. Flip-flops and a floppy cap complete the outfit.

Lace Maxi Dress

The crochet lace design gives this swimsuit a touch of elegance, while the solid color and spaghetti straps make it playful and fun while offering a comfortable and adaptable fit. Whether you're strolling down the beach or on a summer vacation, the enormous length of the suit is ideal for those humid summer days. This garment is made of high-quality fabrics and is both cozy and sturdy.

Summer Bikini

Everybody has a different vision of the ideal summertime bikini, but this is mine. We females appreciate that the top is a little unique while the bottoms are timeless. It fits nicely in the water, is cozy, and looks well beneath a beach cover-up. We know this is simple, but we still say it counts as a beach outfit.

Conclusion

These are some interesting and comfortable beach outfit ideas you need to have in your wardrobe for any instant planning. Yeah, the list ends here. These are some of them.

What Is Embroidery And What Are The Main Types Of Embroidery?

If we want to define it in the simplest way, we can say that embroidery is the artisan technique by which textile pieces are decorated with the help of a needle and using a thread. However, there is much more to say about the importance of this technique. What was traditionally dismissed as a minor creative activity is now recognized as an artistic expression. Learn more about this exciting activity, which you can start practicing right now.

What are the main types of embroidery?

Embroidery has a long history and it is amazing to discover that it has been present in practically every culture in the world for centuries. Although the techniques may vary, some stitches are almost universal and the principle of needle use is almost always the same. Embroidery almost certainly derived from sewing. Before the industrialization of textiles, people made their garments by hand, with the help of needle and thread. At some point, the interest arose to decorate the garments, to denote certain social aspects or to reflect the personality as a means of expression.

The arrival of industrialization and the looms

The arrival of industrialization affected the world of embroidery. The Jacquard loom (a power loom invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1801) wove complex brocade and damask patterns with a punched card system, precursors to the first data systems used from telegraphs to the first computers. This machine revolutionized the industry and accelerated the production of embroidery which, until then, was painstaking and very laborious work.

Later, the Schiffli embroidery machine would complete the automation process, until the hands were no longer necessary for embroidery. Twinkle Industries is the pioneer in producing high-quality Schiffli embroidery fabric at affordable prices and according to your custom demand. From nylon laces to embroidery laces, you can purchase genuine fabric online at Twinkle Industries.

Most popular embroidery types

In general, you can start embroidering right away with a free technique if you know the most basic stitches. If you want to follow some of the more elaborate techniques, in this article we compile some of them. Some of the most popular techniques are –

 Cross-stitch: Typically on an Aida fabric, cross-shaped stitches are created that form the design. Contemporary examples recreate pixel art by the square finish of each stitch.

Embroidered relief: With slightly more complex decorative stitches, you can add volume to your embroidery.

Needle Painting: It is a technique with which great realism is achieved. Imagine that your needle is a brush and the thread is paint, you will use painting and drawing techniques to compose images.

Painting and embroidery: You can mix textile paint, with materials such as watercolor or acrylic, to create spectacular pieces on fabric that you paint by hand.

 Miniature embroidery: It is a trend in which pieces of even millimeters are created.

What materials do I need to start embroidering?

Needle

The most essential material is the needle. You can find needles in many sizes and types, but it's a good idea to start with special embroidery needles, known simply as embroidery needles. There are specific needles for different embroidery techniques –

 · Crewel embroidery needle: It is a type of embroidery with wool.

·  Punch needle or magic needle: It embroiders quickly creating rich textures.

· Kantian needle: A special needle for this technique that creates textures.

· French embroidery: It is used to add beads or rhinestones, very typical of haute couture dresses. Beads can also be added without using this needle.

Depending on the material you use, you will want to experiment with needles of different sizes.

Thread

There are specially made threads for embroidery. The best known is the cotton embroidery thread, which comes in six strands. You can separate the strands depending on the finish you want to achieve. Cotton pearl thread is also widely used in embroidery, and is characterized by its shiny, polished finish. It is manufactured in different thicknesses. You can also embroider with wool, rayon, silk, metallic finish threads. In any embroidery supply store you will see the wide variety of materials and colors.

Frame

A great idea, especially if you are a beginner, is to use a hoop. It allows you to create tension in the fabric, so that your stitches are secured in it. An advantage of the hoop is that you can use it directly to decorate your walls with your embroidered pieces.

Cloth

The best things to start with are cotton fabrics and other natural fibers. You don't want to start one with a weave that is too tight or too loose. A popular fabric is the Aida, typical of cross-stitch embroidery. Also many people choose fabrics made of silk, felt, canvas, linen and wool. You can embroider on practically any type of fabric.

Embroidery and its uses in garments and decoration

By pure thread and stitch, embroidery is added to all kinds of garments. Just as Crochet Laces were the rage at one time, today embroidered fabrics are stomping on stained glass, especially on shirts and dresses. They have become a distinctive detail. The arrival of spring and the heat only means one thing: buying a mini dress with embroidery is a good investment for those moments when you need to shine and be the most chic of a party, cocktail or meeting at work. Also the pants will add embroidery to your designs. They will be seen a lot in jeans and also in other genres.

If you dare to embroider it yourself, remember to buy threads that do not fade, so that the garment is not ruined. The hand-embroidered shirts will be the star of this season. They will be seen a lot on different types of fabric in white and light blue, and also in super intense tones. If we are a little afraid of embroidery on clothes or do not know how to combine it with our style, a good option is to resort to purses, bags, wallets or other accessories with some embroidery. Embroidery is also going strong in decoration. The revaluation of craftsmanship makes more and more people want to put their stamp on different objects, such as pillows, squares, towels, curtains, tablecloths and placemats, etc.

Like Embroidery fabric, modern garments industries also fond to Lycra Fabrics.Buy genuine quality fabrics from Twinkle Industries.

OK I didn't wanna say it on the post cuz I feel like a judgemental asshole saying this but it's not a judgement I promise I am just trying to help newer fiber artists but...

That tiktok of the coat made from embroidery floss? It's really cool! And very pretty! And a true work of art!

Please do not do that if you want your own tiny Granny square coat. It's very impressive but that is a TERRIBLE material to use to crochet something. There are yarns that can give you the same look with much less pain and hassle that will be much more durable and last much longer.

Embroidery floss is hell to use as yarn and less durable than proper yarn because it lacks twist. When you make a plied yarn, you twist really thin individual threads in one direction, and then when you want to put those thinner yarns into one bigger yarn, you twist those thinner yarns together in the opposite direction to make yarn. And while embroidery floss does have SOME twist, it's a very loose twist, because embroidery floss is meant to come apart.

It's meant to be easy to separate so you can work with the individual threads. When they plied it, they only added enough twist to keep the threads together until they are sold because it's expected you'll take it apart when you buy it. So it's not durable. It won't wear well at all because twist adds strength, up to a certain point.

But! There are really great alternatives you can use! Look for Pima cotton yarn in lace or four ply/fingering weight. You might have to go to a local yarn store for this, or find one online. Pima cotton has that shininess that is so attractive about embroidery floss. And it's usually very soft. Softer than embroidery floss. And it won't split 24/7 while you're crocheting with it.

If it MUST some from the embroidery section, for clout or challenge reasons or whatever, don't use the floss. Use the size 8 Pearle cotton by DMC. It's at least plied with proper twist. It's still shiny. Still thread. Way easier to work with.

It's a beautiful coat but thinking about making something out of embroidery floss makes me cringe so hard. And I've done it. I've crocheted with metallic embroidery thread before (and regular at other points) and it was absolute hell and took forever and hurt my hands. Don't bother. It's painful and slow and sucks. Props to her for having the fucking patience but if you feel inspired to make your own fuckoff tiny cotton coat, you can do it in a better way.

🧵🌷 cottagecore style tips!🌷🧵

part 1, finding clothes:

🕊 everything i buy is from a charity shop or depop. some key search terms i've found useful are "prairie", "mori kei/girl", "blouse", "broderie anglaise", and "crochet". now "cottagecore" is a bit more popular that works too but sometimes people hike up the prices!

🕊 texture is your best friend, and is usually my starting place for finding cute statement pieces! go for anything crochet, cord, chiffon, knitted, linen, or lace.

🕊 stock up on cardigans!!!!!! from oversized to bolero, there's a cardigan for every season + outfit. they're cheap as chips too, almost all of my cardis are from £1 sale rails in charity shops:)

🕊 white cotton blouses, particularly broderie anglaise, look so cute tucked into a skirt or trousers. pair with a cardi or let the collar peek through a woolly jumper when its chillier.

🕊 corduroy trousers are abundant in secondhand stores, but ones that that FIT are hard to come by. don't be scared of bigger sizes - that's what belts are for:) i wear cords 6 sizes too big for me with a belt and they look lovely, especially with a tighter fitting top or blouse!

🕊 the same goes for skirts. granny skirts are so sweet and literally everywhere in charity shops but if you're worried about the waist just add belt loops and ur ready to go:)

🕊 invest in frilly white socks. seriously, you won't regret it>:))

🕊 petticoats make great cottagecore skirts or you can wear them under a dress that's a bit too short!

🕊 anything printed with flowers. ANYTHING.

🕊 shoes are a bit trickier, so i tend to find those on ebay or depop. im a big fan of chunky shoes, docs, mary janes and high-top converse! i've been pretty lucky with docs as they can be priceyy online and mine were between £10-30, i've found they tend to be a bit cheaper on ebay than depop but take longer to find. you don't need loads of shoes, just a couple neutral ones. great colours to go with pretty much any cottagecore outfit are brown, black, and green.

🕊 think about colour schemes if u feel overwhelmed in a secondhand/thrift store! i usually head straight to anything green, light blue, pink, or cream/off-white, so think about what cottage-y colours suit your complexion and focus on those.

🌷🧵 hope this helps! the post after this is part 2 on upcycling and styling<33 🧵🌷

Can I request Levi helping his black s/o during washday ?

Levi helping black s/o on wash day

He's doing it all for you and you aren't allowed to refuse

He has set days for your wash day

Buys very specific products (yall be sayin they buy the most expensive brands I get all my hair products at Walmart and its better than any expensive product I've tried. Quality over price bby) and will never switch them out unless you somehow react badly to them

If the store doesn't carry them, hes buying it online

Has you lean over the tub to soak your hair so he can condition it

Sets his own timer to make sure it sits for the exact time and to make sure you're not trying to wash it early

Only saying that bc i do it I hate having to wait for conditioner so I shower 5-10 min earlier than im supposed to

Gets in the shower with you so he can rinse it out for you and wash it for you

Let's your head get a break while you change into fresh clothes

If you blow your hair out (since some ppl got shorter hair) he'll sit you down and do that for you too

Also trims it for you when you start to get dead ends from the hot comb

All in all, hes your personal hair stylist and hes amazing at it

He also helps you with it because 1. he really likes your hair 2. You're his s/o and he loves you 3. Hes a perfectionist

Bonus :)

If you like getting your hair done he can do that too

Wigs, lace fronts, braids, twists, crochet, etc.

And he can do all partitions (boxes, triangles, diamonds)

Always has you lookin right no matter the occasion

Even in quarantine when everything was closed he bought hair off of Amazon (ik my black ass did this-)

He treats your hair like a treasure (as he should bc it is) and might murder someone that touched it without permission

Things to keep in mind before dress of the day:

Store your go-to clothes together. 

Identify a single item to make the signature look on your outfits.

𝐭𝐢��𝐥𝐞: that’s pretty knit 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: rurikawa yuki/reader 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: sfw 𝐰𝐜: 1.9k words, 1 image

𝐚𝐧: yuki birthday month, yuki fic. ahaha i am very direct with my titles again. what’s new? because of the research i did, i’m probably gonna go order some knitting materials online now

Perhaps you spent too much time at the nearest arts and crafts store. For a dozen or so minutes you stood in one spot, unmoving unless someone needed to pass by you, your eyes flitting up and down, left and right as you debated over the different assortments of yarn.

You already had an inkling the different colours would overwhelm you— with so many different colours and different shades each, how could you possibly limit yourself to just one? You didn’t expect to be this troubled with choosing among different yarn weights, too. Why did the store give you 7 different choices? How were you supposed to know if choosing light yarn was better than choosing bulky yarn?

… you seriously should have done more research, but the prospect of finally having free time to visit the shop overshadowed any semblance of rationality you previously possessed.

Look at you now.

Alright, Plan A— scope out the area for the friendliest looking employee and muster up the courage to ask for help, plain and simple.

Except things don’t always go as planned.

When you hear your name come from a voice behind you, it was impossible not to figure out who it was that caught you. You’re just a little bit upset and a little bit tense because of all people to come across at this moment, it had to be Yuki? It’s not that you dislike him, rather it’s because the opposite is true that you found yourself more pressed than you should be.

It was like buying a surprise gift for someone and that exact someone seeing you buy that gift… actually, that was pretty much the situation— the only differing variable being that the gift hasn’t even been created yet.

Seriously, you just had to come across the very person you were planning on making something for?

“Yuki-kun! What are you doing here?”

He gave you a blank stare, as if waiting for you to realise how dumb your question was. Rurikawa Yuki? In a crafts store? Unless you wanted something specific, the answer should have been plenty obvious.

“Hah? I want to buy materials to make clothes, obviously,” he replied, tilting his head to gesture towards his shopping basket filled with various beads, lace, and… were those feathers? Was he just replenishing stock and were those all for one outfit? Curiosity was getting the better of you, mouth already poised to ask a follow-up question before he interrupted you.

“Shouldn’t I be the one asking you?”

To any deities out there, grant you a smidge of acting prowess, or at the very least the ability to make some half-truths and get away with it.

You awkwardly let out a laugh, your eyes leaving Yuki as they dragged themselves back towards the shelves.

“I’m supposed to make a scarf for someone,” an omission of information, but technically the truth, “but I don’t know which yarn to pick?”

For a few seconds Yuki stared at you with narrowed eyes, ultimately letting out a sigh as he placed his own items on the tiled floor, facing the same direction as you.

“Any colour you want?”

Taking the opportunity to resolve one of your main problems, you quickly told him that he could choose any colour he wanted. Haha, you were so slick getting Yuki to choose the material he’d like the most. If you somehow screwed up the knitting process, at least he’d like the colour, right?

“Didn’t you do any research?” Yuki asked, sifting through the pale pink yarns to look for the appropriate weight.

“Not really,” you admitted sheepishly, “I mean, I just saw the steps were easy enough and decided to give it a try.”

“I-di-ot~” he said in a sing-song voice, but despite the nickname you knew there was underlying affection there somewhere, “one skein of super-bulky yarn would be the easiest to work with, then you probably need a crochet hook and 9 mm knitting needles too…”

You follow the green-haired boy as he moves to a different aisle, picking up the supplies you inevitably would have had trouble choosing between.

“Really, you could have just asked me, if you’re so clueless. I’d help you out.”

“No way!” you suddenly exclaimed, earning yourself front row tickets to Yuki’s look of confusion, “I can do it myself!”

You hoped your sudden outburst didn’t come off as rude, but he seemed to just push the matter away nonchalantly.

“Suddenly getting so loud, what’s with you…” he muttered, dropping the things he picked up for you atop your waiting hands, “but that’s fine. The scarf won’t be as cute as if I helped you, but maybe it’ll turn out decent at least.”

You clutched the materials to your chest, already anticipating being able to prove Yuki wrong. How would he react the moment he knew the person you were knitting something for was him?

“I’ll show it to you when I’m done!” you promised, “I need your seal of approval, after all!”

He’d probably point out any issues regardless, so you just had to make sure you did your absolute best!

Knitting took a lot more effort than you anticipated. First of all, you had to do something called a cast on around the needle? Apparently the wrap cast on was great for beginners, but you weren’t gonna lie— it did take you one whole article from some “The Queen of Yarn” blogspot and one 5 minute YouTube tutorial just to make sure you were on the right track.

One. Slip knot: loop the yarn around your fingers clockwise, the yarn attached to the ball going under the loop, slid off your fingers and slipped onto the needle.

It wasn’t that the steps were particularly difficult. Rather, it was constantly making sure you weren’t accidentally skipping any steps or areas due to not paying too much attention.

Two. Open the loop to make a stitch: hold the empty needle with your dominant hand, and the needle with the slip knot in the other. Slip the empty needle into the first loop— from front to back.

Still, it was difficult to stop your thoughts from wandering— perhaps you should have chosen to listen to some kind of tea spill or podcast or comedy routine or anything with words instead of the LoFi ChillHop live stream playing from your phone. You were going to give Yuki a scarf— then what?

Three. Wrap the yarn: go counter-clockwise, the working yarn sliding between both of the needles.

You had a crush on Yuki, plain and simple, but it’d be embarrassing to just admit it! The amount of courage you had still needed replenishing, what with the amount you used up to just go up to him and try befriending him a couple of months back. What if you confessed, and he decided not only was your scarf ugly, he wouldn’t be friends with you anymore as well?

Four. Turn the stitch: slide the dominant-hand needle from the back to the front of the other needle.

But would it be enough to just pass off the garment as a, “thank you for being my friend” gift? Especially when there was no real occasion, and the hours you put in into making him something— would he question it?

Five. Finish the stitch: slide the dominant-hand needle up so that the first loop on the other needle slides off. Move on to the next loop, do the same thing, repeating until you are out of stitches.

Well, even with all of Yuki’s bluntness, he was still kind so he’d probably still be your friend! It’d still really hurt if he rejected you though, so maybe you should put off implying anything more than platonic between you two for… a while. Maybe it was too soon?

Looking at the progress you made, you were unable to hold in a groan of defeat. The pale pink yarn against the bamboo needle looked pretty and neat; there was an issue though.

One row. You were only able to do one row so far.

Your phone clock said it was still pretty early into the afternoon. Well, a few more hours wouldn’t hurt anything except your hands, right?

A hand therapy site told you that pain brought by needlework was probably due to repetition of motion, bad posture, and or general fatigue. Not gonna lie, you probably fit into all three— the last one maybe more so than others.

How long one took to knit varied— some dedicating days, while others were able to crank out 5 scarves a day. A part of you was proud to be able to procure something presentable and wearable in one sitting.

…

You’re just choosing to omit the fact that that one sitting lasted until 3 am, but what Yuki doesn’t know? Won’t hurt him.

Thanking your singular brain cell right now that you decided to do this project over the weekend instead of during a school day— you’re unsure if you’d even be able to survive at all if you actually had to do maths and stuff the day after.

Deciding to just go with the flow, you found yourself folding the scarf as neatly as you could, gingerly placing it inside a paper bag. After all, you agreed to “have him judge” your creation today.

In all honesty, you thought you had built up the confidence to confess your crush to Yuki. If he reciprocated, good for you! If he didn’t, well, either you take it cooly or go ‘I said I liked you as a friend thing, silly!”

Standing in front of him though, his orange eyes scrutinising the pale pink scarf, made you lose your words, hesitation standing in its stead.

“Garter stitch…”

“What do you think, Yuki-kun?” you asked, peering at the green haired boy curiously as you impatiently awaited his verdict.

“I’m honestly surprised you made something nice,”

“Hey—“

“But for beginner, it’s pretty good,” he complimented, “actually, I can see myself wearing it when it gets colder—“

Even with such simple words, you felt your heart swell in happiness. Not only did he say he liked it, but he even went as far as to say he’d wear it? There were so many ways to get your gratitude across, to tell Yuki your true intentions in ‘asking for his approval’. With all of your options, you went with

“If you like it, it’s yours!”

“Hey, you…”

He looked like he didn’t know how to respond. Actually, you can relate to that because even you’re befuddled by your wording. Didn’t it make it seem like you gifted it to him as an afterthought?

“I mean, well that’s not what I meant,” you hurriedly followed up, “I wanted to give it to you from the start? I didn’t know if it’d be nice though so if you said it was ugly I would’ve hidden it from the world? You said you would wear it though so—“

“This won’t do…” Yuki replied, interrupting your impending rambling. Before you could ask him what he meant, he pulls your hand to lead you inside the dormitories.

Unbeknownst to you, pink the same shade of your... his scarf painted his cheeks. If only the weather was fit for the garment you gave, he’d be able to blame the sudden colour on the cold.

“Come on, I need to get your measurements.”

It was difficult to keep the silly grin off of your face afterwards.

Many people like to wear wigs to come to be stylish. Women can change their hair from brief to long, from straight to curly, from blonde to red by wearing wigs. The wigs make it possible for women to have a stunning look by modifying their hairstyles. Today's females are very busy and family livelihood company oriented, and they do not have very lot of time for themselves. For an active woman, a wig is a fast beauty fix for any event. Simply using a wig rather than spending some time to style your hair may be a large time saver.

I am trying to get into this cottagecore stuff how do I start

Hello 🕊

I’d say there are 2 aspects to look at when starting: fashion and lifestyle.

For fashion I am very inspired by Mori Kei (hence my username haha) which is a Japanese subculture literally translating to “forest style”, and the Victorian/ Edwardian era. I’ve been thrifting and buying vintage for over 6 years; it’s the best way to get quality clothes that’ll last, at much cheaper prices.

Think layers, lace, earth tones, delicate pastels, florals or nature prints, plaid, gingham. The overall goal is to look like you live in a cottage in the woods. You can go for a more loose, light, and airy look with tiered skirts, oversized cardigans, chunky sweaters and scarves. Natural materials like cotton, linen, wool, and second hand leather are best.

For a more “polished” look go for Victorian revival clothes with a dash of Hobbit. Straw hats, baskets, and flowers add a nice touch.

Some ways to incorporate cottagecore into your life are:

♡ bake to your heart’s content.

♡start a garden.

♡consciously listening to music. Hear and feel the movements, the key changes, the emotion; get lost in the sound and let it transport you. I like classical music, opera, and pagan folk music.

♡take up and read! Find a cozy spot, grab a nice beverage and read. “Develop a tongue of silk and a mind of silver”.

♡go out in nature. Humanity is small but existence is vast! Take pictures, draw, or just take in your surroundings and the life that grows among it. Make sure to leave the place as you found it or better- no littering!

♡go to a thrift shop or an antique store, look around (you don’t have to buy anything ), find cute decor, perhaps a pretty tea cup (usually ~$1-2), books books books! Make your home however big or small yours!

♡learn how to crochet, sew, or knit.

♡learn about local flora and fauna. Take foraging classes.

♡write letters! My friends and I started a snail mail chain where we add on to the letter and send it to the next person. The last person then takes a picture of all of it and sends it to the group.

♡go to your local rose or botanical gardens, and leisurely walk—keep an eye out for fae or pretty insects.

♡go on moonlit walks, and dance if you feel so inclined.

♡light a candle, relax, and breathe. I’ll be posting a list of cottagecore series and movies soon.

♡have a tea party (solo or with loved ones). Make tiny foods, and find a perfect blend of herbs and flowers for your tea (lots of unique tea blends online) ! It takes a bit longer but the additional effort allows you to put extra love into it.
