Crocheted lacey scarves and shawls I made this year! Made painstakingly with lots superfine yarn and now I’m slowly starting to think Japanese crochet designs are way more beautiful and superior than western crochet designs ˚‧º·(੭ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ ) ੭‧º·˚

@littlemoriflower one of these will be yours! ♡｡ﾟ.(*♡´‿` 人´‿` ♡*)ﾟ♡ °・

I need every single person who’s ever told me I need to sell my crochet and or cross stitch projects to step back and not keep insisting on it after the first time I (politely) tell them I don’t want to, and not make me get to the point of screaming, “ITS NOT FUCKING FUN OR RELAXING OR ENJOYABLE IF IT BECOMES WORK. I CRAFT BECAUSE I ENJOY IT NOT TO MAKE A PROFIT CAN I NOT HAVE ONE GODDAMN THING THAT ISN’T A CAPITALIST HELLSCAPE? CAN NOTHING EXIST FOR THE SAKE OF ITS EXISTENCE WITH NO ULTERIOR MOTIVES?”

MY BLANKET OF DARKNESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED

✨👁️✨ I AM SO COZY NOW ✨👁️✨

So I started working on this blanket around June of 2022. Got like, maybe half-way through the blanket and then the yarn I needed for the blanket went out of stock at my local yarn shop. Now I didn't know the yarn would be completely unavailable for like 6 months (until the stop closed permanently), so I just kept on waiting, hoping for it to come back in stock-- but it never did, so in January I finally looked online if I could find the yarn elsewhere and I did, I got the yarn I needed, and finished the blanket. So it kinda took me 6 months to make this blanket but also not

What made this blanket a truly exciting and fun project for me is that this has been the first blanket I actually made for myself and designed for myself. Like I've enjoyed every single blanket project I've had so far, but having a blanket that's Just For Me is just. It's nice

I originally planned the granny squares out digitally because I wanted to have a fun pattern of different granny squares, something that wouldn't be too busy looking and was carefully planned, and here's what I came up with

I had two versions of the square pattern, one with moon phases right in the middle of it and another without them. I do like how the moon version looked and part of me kinda regrets not making that one, but I'm not sure the moons would have really gone well with the eyes... So I did go with the first version

(Sidenote, it's not on the pattern above but I added extra rows of just black squares at the top and bottom of the blanket, so there's two rows of black instead of just one)

(Sidenote 2, although I knew I wanted the blanket to be mostly black from the begining, I wasn't entirely sure what accent color I wanted to use, it really was depending on what colors the shop had available. Like I used yellow as kind of a default color since it worked nice with the stars and eyes, but I could've gone with some other color too. In the end, because I didn't like the color options for the yarn at the shop I ended up going with a yellow anyways) (Also I tested out a reverse color version with the pastel purple and white base and no eyes, just for funsies, it looks kinda neat)

But yeah, that's how the planning of the blanket went.

The blanket is made of 231 squares in total, 11x21 rows. 186 of the squares are plain black, the rest are patterned. The star squares were the worst to make because of how many strands of yarn I had to weave in, 0/10, would not reccommend.

I used the Cedro 100% wool yarn (reccomended hook size 5, 50g=100m), and it took me about 38 balls of yarn to finish the blanket (including crocheting all the squares together and doing a single round of double crochet around the blanket to finish it off)

This is literally all the yarn I have left from this blanket; one untouched ball of black and three partially used balls.

I gotta admit.

I'm kind of shocked by the size of the blanket. Like I very carefully measured it to make it the exact size to fit my bed, and it fits perfectly. But I'm still kinda shocked how big it is. (Which is why I didn't make the border of the blanket any bigger, even though I could've with the yarn I have)

Also

It's HEAVY

Like, of course it's heavy, it's 100% wool and thick, but MAN I didn't expect it lmao

But that kind of makes it perfect for cold winters especially, it's super warm and the weight makes it cozy- like who needs a weighted blanket when you can have one of these lmao

Now I just need to figure out how to protect the blanket from being covered in my white cat's hair...

I almost triggered both my energy weapons but just in time I saw the sticker on its helmet. In compressed machine language, somebody had used marker paint to write “ART sent me.”

vampire who crochets or knits and never drops a stitch bc vampires are obsessed with counting, and uses their counting powers to preserve pieces of their soul just in case immortality doesn’t work out since being stuck on earth in a bunch of handmade items seems a lot better than being in hell or whatever else

I’m rewatching TVD to make notes on Bonnie for fics. Did the writers give this girl any hobbies (except cheerleading)? Career goals? Say what she studied in college? Like??? Apparently she lived with her dad full time??? I saw her bedroom maybe once? Her mom’s entire arc was weak af. I forgot about the whole Jamie relationship. She went to visit her dad’s side of the family. Great. Where? Ffs.

Bonnie Bennett deserved so much better than this nonsense.

It’s easy to imagine headcanons based on her personality, but the fact that I can’t pull any small details like that from the show itself is entirely fucked.

Countdown to Agatha: Darkhold Diaries: Day 709

Wanda: “I’m learning how to crochet!”

Agatha: “The hex is gone, but I see the tendencies of the 1950s housewife remain - so, what’ve you made?

Wanda: “Hey, crochet is for anyone! But look - I made a scarf! I gave to Y/N to wear in the cold”

Y/N: *holds up the “scarf” that’s made of mostly unraveled yarn* “isn’t she so creative?”

Y/N: *whispers threateningly to Agatha* “say anything remotely spirit-crushing and I’ll shave Señor Scratchy for yarn”

Agatha: “Wow Wanda! This looks great!”

Happy Halloween... I guess? 😂
