Yeah, the reviews are pretty accurate. Looks like some people got enough yarn for it, and some didn't. I haven't done all the dolls in the book, but I did pick up the yarn that they recommend (Hobbii Rainbow 8/4 Cotton) because it was cheap enough and it is much nicer than what was provided.

I think I need to make the Robin and Steve sailors next, but I need to put magnets in their hands so that they can stick together. I'm also thinking of making the Dustin and Eddie dolls and putting magnets in the back of their necks so that they can be scruffed by other dolls. Keep them out of trouble.

(amazon link for kit)

I got the Stranger Things crochet kit and made the demogorgon.

Issues: the kit was lacking in both brown and red yarn and I didn't have enough to make this, but I'd already put in an order for fingering weight cotton yarn so I was able to make do. That's why the arms are a different color, as well as the outline of brown on the petals. It's hard to see it in the pictures, but the center of the red in the petals is a different red than the outer edge.

All in all, it came out pretty nice. The head is understuffed so I can squish it, and I didn't bother putting wire in the arms. It's huggable!

I also have the embroidery kit, but I haven't started it yet.

#stranger things #crochet #crafty goodness #reviews on amazon are a mixed bag #this is a pretty new kit #ymmv #i believe it when they say it's not beginner #but the book does not give any indication of skill level needed #having some other yarn skills helped #also having new glasses helped #i can see the stitches!#yay!

I wish we could have met in some other way.

Lawlight Week Day 2: Soulmates

If you saw me repost and re-edit this several times uh No you didn't </3

Still frames/Individual gifs:

If you know what every frame is from you get a free cookie. by the way

Novice sewing pattern: Cut out shapes. Line up the little triangles on the edges. Stitch edges together. We've also included step-by-step assembly instructions with illustrations.

Novice knitting pattern: yOU MUSt uNDerstANd thE SECret cOdE CO67 (73, 87, 93) BO44 (63, 76, 90) 28 (32, 34) slip first pw repeat 7x K to end *kl (pl) 42 * until 13" (13, 13, 15) join new at 30 pl for 17 rows ssk 27 k2tog mattress lengthwise BO and sacrifice a goat to the knitting gods. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT "INSTRUCTIONS," I JUST GAVE THEM TO YOU

#knitting #no it's not a real pattern but I can't write one that makes sense because I have no freaking clue what any of that means #How do you make things that aren't basic rectangles #Why has every knitter I've asked for help just said 'patterns are easy; you just have to know how to read them' & then refused to teach me #Where do I even find a goat to sacrifice #How do I join the pattern cult #I am so confused #I've been knitting for almost a decade but I can only make scarves and potholders #I learned one (1) stitch by watching a YouTube video and none of my friends or family knit so I have no IRL resources #And nobody I meet seems to want to take the time to explain the rest to me #I taught myself to sew through trial and error but that doesn't really work with knitting because error is pretty much just... Unraveling?#Anyway sorry for the tag rant I'm just frustrated that I see pretty things I want to make but the instructions are in an alien language #And the gap between 'absolute novice' and 'intermediate' seems to be about 20 years of experience and formal instruction

#wriothesley #neuvillette #wriolette #neuvithesley #genshin impact #he goes aheeheehooheehoohee #i think once neuvillette figures out how to make him laugh. he'd do it all day. and the formula is simple too he just gotta say something #really stupid. and absurd. in his usual super serious iudex voice #and wriothesley is in stitches. it's so easy. he just gotta say 'yippee' and profit. 'slay queen' and wriothesley is incapacitated #also. imagine he's ticklish. but i dont think Neuv would tickle him intentionally I think he's like. 'i heard tickling gets violent fast'#'i will not resort to that to summon moethesley'#he doesn't want to Hurt Him he just wants to see him smile and laugh and be all pink in the face. but I do think he accidentally #sets him off all the time. with kisses (neck/ears) or just like grabbing his waist and suddenly wriothesley violently Wriggles yknow.#the tickled reaction. wriothesley laments the destruction of his scary big dog image every day #but. neuvillette would only make jokes at home anyway. and to be clear it's the simple fact that neuvillette is trying to Be Funny .#that's really funny to wriothesley. or just like his awkwardness. back before he figures out he can Intentionally make wriothesley laugh #he'd bewitch him with his his gap moeism #the layers to it. Wriothesley gets embarrassed later on when he catches on because he Knows Neuvillette likes seeing him all tickled.#and flustered. and that's like so mortifying bro what do you mean you're happy just seeing me being moe #and he's embarrassed because he should not be falling for it every single time. it should not be this funny #the nerves just makes him laugh even harder. and the whole time neuvillette is just sitting there. silently delighted. waiting for the #perfect comedic timing. so he can drop a 'cowabunga!' with the exclaimation mark and all. wriothesley can't even catch his damn breathe #art #my art

(yes I know siffrins cloak grows sleeves when its convenient but I wanna play around with this)

#also the cloak IS crafted to grow with him so I guess it being able to grow sleeves when he needs em might not be entirely untrue #tbh when I heard his cloak can grow with him my first thought was to have everyone gather under it and stretch it like a parachute lol #I think the one with like two folds stitched together to make impromptu sleeves makes more sense..#the holes are big enough to quickly fit your arms thru so its more suitable #the witch hat cloaks are designed so that witches can draw their spells without anybody seeing so its specifically to hide the users hands #siffrin doesnt necessarily need to hide his hands but he doesn’t like to be touched so I guess it just has to cover his body than hide it #idk anything about sewing or tailoring though so this is all my imagination. i dont actually know if this would work or not lol #my art #myart #doodles #I got thru a little bit more of the game and I’m coping. I’m coping #I’m imagining siffrin suplexing loop for my own sanity #in stars and time #isat #isat siffrin

universal healthcare is not broken and anyone trying to convince you it is is delusional and a dckrider for big health insurance. yes there are wait times but waiting for care is Not the same as being denied care.

in america your physician prescribes care and an insurer can still cuck you out of it because someone across the continent who has never met you can say: doesn’t seem medically necessary. Leaving you to handle a bill that is wildly inflated by the same insurers that just denied you.

let me drill it through your head you can pay thousands a year in premiums and still end up sick and financially burdened for years by One incident. no insurance company is Avoiding going broke by denying claims. theyre doing it to profit off your misfortune and your illness. Because healthcare fundamentally does not cost the amount that they claim it to be.

#delete later #out of pocket rant #i hate these god awful takes on universal health care #and i hate this oh he killed a father #how many fathers do you think uhc let die be real with me #oh 8 billion is only 6% profit margin #bitch it could be 2 percent it could be a negative loss #this is me saying oh i resold a shoe for $60 after buying it for $50 when i also made it for 80 cents #i have been denied things like chest xrays and lung exams #i btw have had a chronic cough for 4+ years #in canada i got this done on the same fking day and results back within a month #there are indeed horror stories and on both sides of know ppl who died due to delayed diagnosis #and ppl who died bc they didnt even want the diagnosis it would have cost them too much #but robbing someone of the choice in my opinion is the worse of the two #putting someone in an impossible position like that is evil #this country love god so much better start praying u stay healthy bc thats the most important thing #also like those horror stories of wait times in the er #im gonna be real if u have severe stomach pain are actively bleeding heart attack or stroke #you will be seen asap #yes if unfortunately everyone around u that day decided to have a stroke or heart attack ur appendicitis will be punted down the line #this is a resource issue NOT a cost issue #this is a they also cut funding to nursing school and limited the number of ppl who can pursue medical degrees issue #not a we dont have privatized health care issue #bc ultimately u need a doctor to see u #not someones sister who is taking stabs at it #and every doctor is bound by the concept of time???#u still have to wait in america ur Charged for it also #and yall it doesn’t even have to be a Big incident #ur local urgent care might just be closed after 8pm and at 9pm u need stitches #or have severe stomach pains and just want it checked

Oh Boy. that is payoff lol #namely hooray for stitches and mudbug at the field office for every passing gangster. killing one marigold associate but not the other #which seems like a promising start to shootouts w/the other dream team triumvirate. i adore that in canon so far mordecai freckle & rocky #have met but only over a nice brunch. re: all intentions anyways. anyways i'm like Gifs Must Be Made while i'm also so riled afresh abt the #comic that i've been sooo hype for for over fifteen yrs now babeyyy Deservedly. i've done a couple of rereads & ought to do another....#For Interest it'd probably take a few sittings to catch up from the start but there is much to be engaged over....this ongoing story that's #historical fiction prohibition bootlegging cats with plenty of focus on characters & several Mysteries. which i'm better at parsing now lol #like one of the more recent rereads like Oh Of Course x (probably) accidentally killed his y & z took the fall & that's a binding secret...#Not [oh of course] abt the circumstances surrounding a's death & how b & c were involved. nor the ''what's marigold's damage'' mystery #which is great. love to not know things. love that we can readily follow all the emergent drama everyone's wading in nowadays. hell yeah #anyways admire my organized approach to gifs here. four shots each Expressions Atmosphere Action Groupshots #sure might've muddled through gifmaking for this anyways but fr being a huge lackadaisy comic enjoyer for now most of my life helps #and its very Overall Inspiration like. just really getting the [you can really just draw stuff out here] going. fr the art's detail & skill #and that enrichment like i'm gonna have a great time following this. And I Have #you don't expect a crowdfunded indie animation in the mix back then but hell yeah fellas #SIGH ok removing a 4th gif that's broken / not displayed despite reuploading then entirely remaking it. if it's a bug i'll try again later

Seamless Evenweave Tile

Top pic is a single tile, and bottom is how it looks filling a 1920x1080 canvas.

Made this for my icon set project by scanning in a piece and then tweaking it to be straighter and tile better. Free to use for anybody else who wants it-- no credit needed, including for commercial applications, etc etc.

#cross stitch #fabric #icon set #made by me #next up:#I've started stitching the first icons #and I want to see if it's possible to scan them in too #if I have to I'll do photographs instead #but for uniformity purposes I'm REALLY hoping I can do scans instead

Another bonus to learning a fiber art is being able to speak to others in a Lovecraftian language that nobody else understands...

...and also being able to read things like THIS:

#art #crochet #fiber art #described images #image description in alt #used a crochet pattern for this because it's just INSANE #see i can recognize some of these stitch markings but i haven't done them all yet #i actually kind of prefer the diagram pattern because it actually shows you the shape and the way stitches compliment the piece #with a 'normal' pattern (e.g. 1 dc in fifth ch from hook ch 2 4 dc) i understand it sure but. it isn't the same.#i was reading somebodys recommendations for tapestry yarn and understood all the abbreviations and what they mean #plus i feel like diagrams can be a great way to teach you not only how stitches look but how they contribute to the larger piece #one of my crochet proficiency goals is to be able to look at a piece and know instantly what made it #*cue me at the store analyzing a crochet piece so i can replicate it for 5× the cost*#if you're selling a crocheted piece for like $20 then it's my imperative to replicate it and not buy it 🫡#i think that has the same moral implication as like... 'proplifting'#did crochet as the example because thats what i do as a fiber art. if theres a similar thing for knit/weave/ect then DROP IT BELOW I BEG YO #i want to learn all the lovecraftian languages of the fiber artists <3 #i feel like describing the image in exactly what stitch marking indicates what would have been too much so hopefully the explanation as to..#...what the diagram DOES and how it visually indicates a pattern was helpful <3

Stitches and Sentences Roundup 2024

Thanks for the tags on your writing round ups @run-for-chamo-miles, @drowninginships, and @emeryhall! I just got back from a weeklong trip and instead of doing laundry, I'm joining in on the roundup fun.

FIC I moved from lurker to active fandom participant this year with a bang. I posted my first fic ever for EGF and have basically been writing or posting non-stop since then. I wrote/co-wrote 5 fics this year and clocked in at 101, 725 words.

Kill Em With Kindness - rated T, 6.5k, Watford-Era, getting together fic

When no one seems to care that Baz is sad, Simon steps in to help. The only reasonable explanation for all Simon's kindness is that he's trying to kill Baz, right? (My most popular fic as measured by kudos.)

Knock Your Socks Off - rated T, 4k, Watford-Era, 7th year fic

Baz steals Simon's socks. Simon blames the sock monster. Chaos ensues.

The Eternal Life of Baz Pitch - rated M, 42k, Addie LaRue AU, a truly epic romance

Told in two alternating timelines that span from 1700s Hampshire all the way to early 2000's Washington, DC, this fic follows Baz as he spends centuries searching for the love of all his lives. (This was the fic that convinced me I could write long and holds a very special place in my heart. Is it angsty? Yes. Is it some of the most beautiful prose I've ever written? Also yes.)

The Boy Next Door - rated M, 47k, and they were neighbors AU, a coming of age romance

When Simon moves in with his gran, he decides to befriend the mysterious boy next door. He changes both their lives in the process. (My most popular fic by literally every other measure.)

The Reason for The Season - rated T, 1.6k, text fic, co-written with @thewholelemon

Dev and Niall make a list. Holiday hijinks abound. (A bday gift for @mooncello)

ART I do not currently have a great way to track my dolls and searched my Instagram to do the math, only to realize I hadn't posted every doll I made either! (If anyone has a good art tracking system, I'm open to ideas.) If my count is correct, I clocked in at a grand total of 35 dolls this year, including:

10 Simons

15 Bazzes

2 Pennys

2 Nialls

2 Devs

1 Mage

1 Fiona

1 Agatha

1 Shep

The picture below shows my earliest dolls, where I was still experimenting with style and form. As you can see, many of them are quite flat. (Fun fact: All of these dolls--including their clothing--were made before I owned a sewing machine.)

Going 3D was actually an accident, but we have the Watford Baz and Simon below to thank for it! After committing to 3D dolls, I kept evolving my pattern---improving joints, proportions, and adding details like ears!---until we reached my most current iterations.

Now every doll has their own special pattern that takes into account their canon proportions, where available. Notice Baz is tall and slender where Simon is extra fluffy!

I did not include any of the dolls I created for COC 2024 since I assume everyone has seen them already, but I linked the master post in case you missed a day.

Finally, in addition to dolls, I also created 2 plushies (a merwolf and a bunbaz) plus 12 finger puppets this year.

It's hard to quantify dolls like fics, especially since almost every doll before COC did not have a dedicated tumblr post. However, here are some fun art stats:
