Lust MC be posing on the bed the whole ride, going "Fuck me, coward." at everyone who dares make eye contact.

Ha! Lust MC can't have casual sex with everyone in the master bedroom if Adrian is locked in there with them as their roomie.

hello! 🫡 If Jere were to get angry at Bojan, and not like "wash your clothes" angry but really upset with him, what do you think would be the reason?

(I'm in my angsty bojere feels tonight, looking for reasons to suffer some more)

Anon, I saw your second ask and don't worry! If I don't want to answer something I won't 💕 Angsty thoughts welcome, sometimes you just need an outlet 🫂

Jere can handle when Bojan gets snappy, they sometimes both do, but it's usually because they're tired and frustrated and nothing major really comes of it. Luckily they're not usually in a mood at the same time.

So it's not anything Bojan does to Jere, it's not when he's a slob around the house or when he forgets something important or doesn't treat him right for just a second - those are easy.

What really gets Jere going is when Bojan doesn't treat himself right. He's getting better at taking care of himself, but sometimes he slips - slips into the darkness a little too far.

So that one time when he's sleep deprived, anxious, coming down with something but afraid to stop, missing Jere like crazy, upset about sales and numbers and a stubborn song and the future and has a clash with bandmates and goes to party with other friends and drinks too much and takes something someone offers him, because what the hell, it's just this once, and ends up in a hospital for a stomach lavage plus in a tabloid, that's when Jere gets mad.

He knows he shouldn't, Bojan is remourseful and upset enough as it is, but Jere can't help it. He's far away, he can't help, he's so fucking pissed off, and he knows he shouldn't take it out on Bojan, that really doesn't help at all. But that's when they have their biggest fight. Jere says some harsh words that really cut deep, and Bojan is vulnerable and really doesn't need this right now, so he lashes out as well. It almost tears them apart.

Which is stupid, they both realise, when Bojan is better and Jere has cooled off, Jere is just worried and frustrated because he's not able to help, and it kills him to see Bojan like that, and Bojan knows this.

So they make up and talk and apologise and set up some new system for what to do when someone gets in a downward spiral, how to lean on each other at the right moment.

Because they're Jere and Bojan, and they're making it, no matter what, SO THERE.

Um, anyway. What was the question?

So this blocking thing! It's good for more than just nuisances. I haven't knit a lot of garments yet with fiber that responds to blocking, and what I have has been like...socks where it seems unnecessary because the whole thing will be in tension while worn. But also I just don't have large pinnable surfaces, as one typically needs when the point is to soak a piece of fabric and then stretch it out to pose in the shape you want it to be until next soaking. What do I have? The ability to stack waterproof objects on a small patch of flat counter space. And thank goodness because that definitely saved this hat.

Anyway! I am happy to have used my extremely inconsistent first skeins of support-spindled yarn (see the post with them all laid out here) for a project I'll probably actually use once it's chilly again. It is comfortable, even if I'm a bit disappointed in the colorwork legibility. This is how the chart looks:

But I didn't quite manage matching gauge yarns, I'm low on practice/experience keeping tension for stranded colorwork, and probably just aiming for too loose a fabric anyway (should've found a path to increasing stitches and using smaller needles on that section) so it's very blobby.

I do have some of that green and "matching" oyster skein left, as well as a little of the finest oyster yarn I used for the ribbing. So if I use them together again, I'll probably hold the two oyster threads as one. Speaking of, I had way too much of the underplied lace yarn and wasn't happy with my first run at an even more open lace panel, so ended up frogging that back and making these sections with the lace yarn held double. Worth it! Much happier with this result. And I can see why underplied yarn has been said to do lace well; was cool how open it already was before blocking.

Image descriptions below:

[ID: Four photos of a slouchy, off-white beanie with some green colorwork being knit, blocked, and worn. The hat is constructed with a solid top of thicker yarn, strip of lace, a strip of green colorwork (meant to be jumping frogs), a matching strip of lace, and finally a long section of ribbing, broken into four strips by inverting the knits and purls.

In the first photo, with a blurred background, the beanie is still in process with a green string holding the live stitches while it's tried on, partway through the first section of ribbed brim; it fits like a misshapen mushroom, the top lace panel collapsing over the relatively tight colorwork, all under the lumpy increases of the densely knit crown.

The second photo also has a blurred background but shows the hat being blocked, gently stretched over a tower of stacked containers, widest at the top around the curved base of an upside down plastic coffee canister from crown to colorwork, the gradual taper of a hair bleach tub easing the lower lace panel into the ribbing before the very end hangs free around a peanut butter jar pedestal.

The third and fourth photos show the finished hat from the side and front, being worn by a pale-skinned brunette woman with a braid and orange t-shirt in front of painted wood paneling on an overcast day. The hat is slouched but not bulbous, blocking having stretched the colorwork horizontally and the lace vertically; a twice-rolled brim covers the lower lace panel but leaves the still not very legible frog colorwork visible. End ID]

[ID: Chart of green on white colorwork made in the Google Sheets spreadsheet software; a section in the middle is selected, though there are repeated motifs on either side. Every cell with an X in it is colored green and makes slightly horizontally stretched pixel art of a frog hopping from the right to the left; the rightmost frog is crouched under a flower or star made of four dots, to its left is a frog pushing off the ground and to its left a frog leaping horizontally through the air. The repeat is 39 stitches wide, 10 rows tall. End ID]
