More Ombré/Gradient Yarn

More yarn came today! On the one hand, it’s all very pretty. On the other hand, not all of it is what I expected.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lion Brand Ice Cream - Strawberry

This is pretty much exactly what I knew I was gonna get. It is very thin. Which makes sense because it is a three weight and not a four weight. Which I’m pretty sure I knew going in. I will say, the ball band says that you use a size 8 hook with it. Interested to compare this with the premier gradient, which is also kind of thin. Note that this one does not actually call itself an ombré or gradient.

Lily Sugar and Cream Strawberry

OK, not disappointed with this one either. Again, I knew what I was getting. And it’s very pretty. What’s interesting, is that I’m pretty sure the online listing said ombré, but the actual tag on the ball band does not say ombré at all. (Just checked – – the Amazon listing does say the original hombre yarn. The ball band just says the original. So that’s interesting…)

Caron Jumbo Ombré - Blossom

This one I am disappointed. The picture on the Amazon listing was strategic, and only showed the side of the ball, BUT you can see my side picture does show the purple and the cream that are in this ball along with the pink. I just checked on the yarn inspirations website and they use the same pictures. Don’t get me wrong. The colors are pretty – although I am not a huge fan of the neon salmon pink in there. I think it’s going to look nice worked up in all the colors. but it doesn’t necessarily look like an hombre and it doesn’t necessarily look like what was advertised. Maybe it’s a case of dye lot? I did get two in the package and the other one only seems to have one chunk of purple in it and they are the same dye lot… anyway – not superduper impressed there.

Lion Brand Mandala Ombré - Pure

This one is the most disappointing! Can you guess why? It’s gorgeous it’s absolutely lovely, but there’s a whole lot more blue than pink in there! This one I think definitely is a fault of a dye lot issue, but I am allowed to feel disappointed. I also wanted to make sure I showed the picture of the side of the ball band where it has the picture of what the yarn should look like in the pattern. Notice there’s is pink blue pink while mine is blue pink blue.

Red Heart Super Saver Super Craft Kit - Gradients

At some point, I’ll take a picture of the purple and the blue yarn that came in this kit, because I think they did a better job of making a gradient with those colors. The pink colors are not bad, and for all I know they may blend really well into each other when I use them, but the two middle ones perfect pink and light raspberry seem almost identical, and then shocking pink on the dark end is really quite shockingly pink and if I had my way, there would be a couple more colors in between there. But overall they’re pretty and I like that they tell you the names of these yarns so that when you run out of the 50 g or whatever they gave you, you can go and buy a whole skein more if you want it.

Mandala Gradient

Holy neon yarn, Batman! I was not expecting it to be this bright! Seriously, this thing practically glows in the dark! It is very soft. It’s pretty standard for the kind of yarn, I guess. At some point, I’ll get a comparison between just the look of this one and the premier gradient. Still pretty sure somebody was trying to copy somebody else, but I don’t know which side is which.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, at least I have a lot to occupy me.

I’ll try to do some testing and some comparisons this coming week. I am going back  to work on Monday (assuming we don’t get buried in snow 🤞❄️) so I won’t have a ton of time, but this project does not have to be done fast.

Of the yarn on my initial list, I think I still need to get the one that’s exclusive to Michael’s and the other premier ombre one. Those will have to be maybe payday treats for me.

Out of these yarns, which one is your favorite? Which one do you think is the best ombré/gradient?

mittens !!!! pattern X - i modified a bit because my yarn was a bit more thick, so i shortned a few rows of the colorwork & added the burnt orange details instead :)

I’m so proud to announce this project I’ve been working on for the past two months. It’s a labour of love, and it’s become a real lifeline for me, a much needed distraction, while I’m still grappling with the emotional aftermath of my miscarriage. I’ve always loved custom pencils and it’s been so healing indulging my creativity in something physical that I can hold in my hands.

A brief summary:

Each set is priced at US$8. Standard shipping to most countries is US$7, to be confirmed when the order is placed.

Each set contains 6 ombré pink, laser engraved pencils, unsharpened

The packaging was designed and illustrated personally by me

Each box is individually folded and packaged by me, and will be shipped from Hong Kong

There are 35 sets of these pencils available for purchase. I truly have no idea if anyone will be interested! I know it’s not even Halloween, but if you’re looking for a Christmas present for yourself or a friend, I hope you’ll consider these cuties 💕

next chapter

Turning the sounds of Future down just a little bit as she drove into the street of her parents new home, Nadia closed her car window and eyed the grand houses that she drove past in her 8 year old Honda. Sighing, she parked into her parents driveway, seeing both their cars parked outside and decided to park behind her mother's car and watched as the house gate closed shut.

Stuffing her phone into her hoodie pouch and fixing her blonde and pink ombré hair, knowing very well that her mom will find a way to comment on the new colour, she got out of the car and locked it.

The Buckinghamshire sunset was slowly approaching, the wind not too harsh to even lift a couple of hairs but yet the Friday afternoon was quite chilly. Trees were becoming more and more green the more she looked at them and the birds definitely weren't silent. Hearing the front door open with a bit of a creak to it, Nadia's tired smile grew on her face as she saw her mom replicate the same emotion.

"Nads!" Thembi, her mother, expressed as she watched her daughter walk towards her on the pathway to the front door. Thembi definitely had an off day, wearing an ever so colourful sundress with the charm necklace that Nadia's younger cousin made. She carried something small in her hands as she extended her arms to Nadia.

"Hi mom." Nadia tiredly greeted as she leaned into her mother's arms. "2 weeks since I've seen you, nana. How are you?" Thembi said to her daughter, leading Nadia into the house. "I'm tired, there was an extra class I had to take up after school. And just thinking of the grocery shopping I have to do tomorrow just tires me even more." She sighed, looking around the grand home that her stepdad, James, had built for her mom.

Gosh, just thinking of the love that her mom and stepdad share just makes her want to cry. Moving to the Uk was an extremely difficult challenge that Thembi and Nadia had to endure, not sure how they were going to survive with just the two of them but James had met her mom and made the lifelong promise that they would build their life together and they did exactly that although wanting to care for someone as their own after Nadia. In a few days, Nadia's younger cousin would be moving in with her parents for a scholarship she received back in South Africa.

"But enough about me, does Rea need a lift from the airport?" Nadia asked, beelining towards the soft couch in the living room and immediately relaxing onto what feels like clouds. "Yes, I have a meeting the moment she lands and James has to watch over his project. I also gave her some money so maybe you guys can get some ice cream?" Thembi rushed all her words out, walking all over the place looking for something.

"Mom, why are you rushing? What's going on?" Nadia sat up properly from the couch as she watched her mom move frantically.

"Oh we've got a dinner with our neighbours, surprisingly moved from Stevenage with us. Doubt you remember them."Her mom said, hurriedly putting her earrings on in the large hallway mirror and checking her short afro. With a stunned expression in Nadia's face, she looked down at the outfit she had on then looking up at her mother who was all dolled up. "But ma, don't you think I'm underdressed for a dinner?" She asked, unconsciously holding the pouch of her hoodie.

Looking at her daughter once, Thembi shook her head before turning back to the mirror. "Please, these neighbours are super, what's the word you use? chill. We've been friends with them since your primary days." She smiled at Nadia before heading to the base of the staircase. "James! Finish up! Nads arrived so let's go!" Thembi shouted.

"Wait, how long has this been planned?" Nadia looked at her mom confused to which she just smiled at her innocently. "It just slipped my mind two weeks ago, sorry. Now, let's go wait by the front door to make James feel bad for making us wait." Her mom ordered with Nadia following after her, holding her car keys.

"I'll follow you guys there, I'll go home afterwards because I've got too much work waiting for me back home." Nadia informed her mother as she heard footsteps coming from the hallway. "Nadia! It's been too long. How's everything?" James greeted with a huge grin, side hugging his stepdaughter.

"Who knew high school kids would have so much energy when you mention a free lesson?" Nadia said, tilting her head back at the memory of her day and how it drained her. James just smiled and squeezed her shoulder as Thembi opened the front door, leading them to their cars.

-

Turning into the street at least two minutes away from where her mom and stepdad live, Nadia rolled her eyes at the thought that they could've just walked but knowing how her mom thinks, walking at night even in their neighbourhood was never safe.

Following James' suv through the large black gates, a much grander yet modern home came into the view of her window shield leaving her mesmerised, so much so that she even turned down her music to look at the fairy lights lighting up the driveway to the house. Looking forward, she saw a few cars parked outside of the garage onto the gravel seeing a trend of Mercedes in this household.

Finding a decent parking spot next to her parent's car, she climbed out of the car and fixed her hair once again and clicked her gel nails, trying to hype herself up to be present at the dinner. Hearing quite loud greetings behind her, she shut her car door closed and locked it and walked to the enthusiastic group at the neighbours front door. Two children ran outside as well seeming to be chasing each other with their laughter filling the air.

A gasp came from the woman with the white short hair, walking around what seemed to be her husband with her arms out. "My goodness, Nadia! Is that you? Thembi, you didn't say anything about her beauty!" The woman that she had yet to recognise stood at an arms length with her hands clasped as she examined Nadia with a large smile. Nadia was trying her hardest to remember who exactly this woman was but she put that aside and walked forward to briefly hug the woman.

"Hello." She greeted with a smile, feeling herself go back into her bubble as all the attention was directed at her. "Well, welcome to our new home! Stevenage cannot separate us!" The older man said as he turned to welcome Nadia into the house home as everyone followed in. She immediately recognised the man to be Anthony, a good friend of her parents. Everytime she would see him back in Stevenage, he was always very nice yet reserved. She's very sure that she's seen the older woman before but for the life of her cannot remember.

A much younger woman had turned the corner holding a child's hands and Nadia internally sighed in relief as she realised that she wasn't the only young person attending the dinner. "Oh hello!" She happily greeted Thembi and James, hugging them as they exchanged kind words to each other. The younger woman turned to her with a stunned yet animated expression as she smiled at Nadia.

"Hi I'm Nicola, your parents have told me so many things about you." She introduced herself then her hand pointed towards the kids. "These are my kids, Willow and Milo. Come say hi guys." The children immediately running to her with the boy being a little shy but the girl, Willow, hugged Nadia's leg and looked up at her with the largest smile she's ever seen on someone. "I love your hair!" The girl exclaimed happily, examining the blonde wig with pink ends.

"Come on everyone! The pasta will get cold!" You all heard the older woman from before voice out.

"So Nadia! My goodness, you've grown. I would remember seeing you leave for school back in Stevenage." The woman, who's name was Linda, expressed and looked over to Thembi with a smile. "So do tell, how's everything going with you?" Anthony spoke up after taking a sip of his juice.

Putting down her utensils, Nadia looked over the table to see everyone focused on her. "Well uh where do I begin. After high school, I went to Cambridge for Law but eventually switched to Education for personal reasons. Spent quite the time away from home but i would call and visit when i could. I teach at Preston Manor in Wembley, where i live as well and the past few years have been quite uneventful. I do dabble a bit in fashion from time to time." Nadia spoke, watching as the table took in all the information.

"Mum, Sir uncle loves fashion!" The young boy vocalised to his mom. "Speaking of him, let me find out where he is because we know he's always late for everything." Nicola chuckled as she took her phone to make a call.

"Cambridge? Wow! Now that's something to brag about!" Linda smiled at Nadia, giggling over to her mother who looked proud of her daughter.

Not being able to take compliments as easily as others would, Nadia shyly put her down and glanced at her manicured nails, wanting the conversation to shift from her to anything else. Luckily for her, the attention switched to Nicola walking rather quickly to the front door to welcome someone into the house. Wanting to escape the very cheery welcome of the newcomer, Nadia politely asked to go to the bathroom.

"Why the fuck is this house so big?" She whispered to herself as she dried her hands on the hand towel, exiting the guest bathroom to get back into the dining room. Hearing rather heavy footsteps seemingly walking into her direction, Nadia opted to walk faster to avoid a possibly awkward encounter with anyone at the dinner table even though she's already grown fond of Nicola and her kids.

About to turn the corner, a soft yet musky scent wafted through the air, encircling Nadia's space. What entered her vision were brown air jordans, similar to those some of her students constantly spoke of usually with grief that they were expensive. Lifting her head to look at the individual in front of her, they seemed to slow their tracks.

Setting her eyes on the man in front of her, she tried her level best to not take in his facial features all in one moment. Seeing the tattoos that decorated his arm and hands, the woman grew speechless at the amount he had. Granted she had a few of her one but his were well kept and gorgeous. The graphic shirt he had on sat very well on his body, the perfect fit that is 'oversized' and his shorts showed the athletic build he had. She tried to snap out of it and so did he.

Lewis didn't want to say he was completely entranced by the woman in front of him but this was a face you couldn't get out of your head even if you wanted. Firstly he admired the choice of colour of her hair, seeing how it suited Nadia's face so well. Moving down to her face, her nose piercing was shining under the hallway light and the lipgloss had clearly been freshly coated. The outfit was very chill, the hoodie and cargo pants combo seemed extremely comfortable on her, blanketing her in a way. As if one blink could change everything, Nadia had blinked and turned her head, looking away from him.

"Oh sorry, you can go right through." She said with a small smile on her face as she moved out of the way so he could walk past him. "Thanks.. I'm Lewis." He introduced himself and the equally as small smile was as soft as he seemed. "Nadia, nice to meet you." She responded, blinking rather slowly as she was still as sleepy as she was before. "Likewise." Lewis answered, the small crinkle by his eyes showed that he seemed a bit tired as well but he clearly did not want to show.

With that, they both excluded the conversation with one entering the bathroom with the other heading in the direction of the dining table.

Willow had opted to sit next to Nadia as she piqued the young girl's interest, quite the colourful woman with not much to say. Nadia could not ignore how the child already began to adore her, her heart aching at the thought of possibly not seeing her new best friend that she made. Creating relationships with people other than her family was tough but to see herself become comfortable with neighbours she hadn't seen in years was odd. Willow's attention clearly went somewhere else as Nadia was in her thoughts, the man from before taking the child's seat. "Hey, that was my seat!" The young girl pouted at Lewis. "Yeah, that was my homegirl's seat." Nadia jokingly said as well, looking at his amused face.

"Sir uncle, you can sit on the couches." Willow ordered as she had a staring contest with her uncle. "But that's so far?" He had giggled, completely amusing Nadia who was watching the whole interaction. "Exactly." Willow sassed, making Nadia laugh.

A small gasp came from Linda's lips as she and the others had been watching the cute scene in front of them as everyone was getting ready for dessert. "Thembi, would you look at how precious this is." The older woman gushed, eyes focused on Nadia playing with Willow as Milo and now joined the scene, Lewis and Nadia having a conversation (mainly Lewis being curious on the hoodie and earrings).

"Are we sure about what we're going to do?" Anthony looked at Nicola with her nodding her head. "I feel like it's going to work. These rumours have been off the charts these past few weeks." Rightfully as his half-sister, she was worried about her brother. Everything seemed to be hurdled at Lewis, all types of untrue things and his pr team were working hard but had not found a solution or anything to put good attention to the driver. Reaching out to the family, Nicola, Anthony and Nadia's parents had managed to come up with something, unsure of whether it would work or not.

"You guys have been huddled up together for a while now, is everything okay?" Nadia spoke up, suspiciously looking at the group. "We're discussing the true crime shows that I've recommended to them." Thembi lied straight through her teeth, surprised that Nadia bought it. All she did was nod her head and continued playing with Willow, finding Lewis a very interesting person and someone she could definitely be friends with.

Character introduction: Maria/Cure Jump

~Basic info~

Name: Maria

Alter Ego: Cure Jump

Age: ?

Birthday: ?

Hair color: Brown w/ red ombré

Eye color: Blue

Maria is the fragmented part of Maria Oscuro’s spirit and is the true identity behind Cure Jump. She is a side character in Project: SFA.

Maria is strong willed, brave, leader-like and an ‘overall joy to be around.’ As Cure Jump, she fights with the power of fire, along with a few other new tricks up her sleeve that she learns from Mario as they protect the kingdom at times. Though… there seems to be something behind those blue eyes of hers.

When separated from her team and from her leader role, she appears to be more impulsive than usual. In terms of empathy, she seems to be lacking a bit when it isn’t towards anyone that isn’t on her side. She also seems to always resort to physical attacks, a force to be reckoned with. Her powerful fists with crimson flames burn bright, ever growing… ever spreading… Being fragmented from her true self has left the key components that make her ‘whole’ missing.

For more information on Cure Jump, such as voice claims, please visit @nintendoprecure

~Outfits/Appearances~

Jump has two main looks that she uses. Her first appearance, the one Larissa sees in her mind is actually a reflection of what Jump is supposed to look like. Her hair is swept to the opposite side of Larissa’s, her ponytail following the same direction. She sports Mario’s signature cap, gloves and overalls but with tall brown boots and a loose belt around her waist. Her striking yellow cape ties the iconic look together that reminds Larissa of Super Mario World. Though, even though she is supposed to look exactly like Maria Oscuro, the girl who was supposed to become Cure Jump, for some reason… she’s missing her freckles, giving an uncanny, too perfect look to her face.

Her other look, the one that everyone knows is influenced by Larissa’s body. Features are changed to be more cutesy, her hair being more wavy, swept to Larissa’s direction. The iconic Mario cap is replaced with a mushroom clip, and her sideburns are longer and more flowy. Her overalls are more of a layered overall dress, her sleeves long and drooping with the gloves and cape lost. Pink gets added as another accent color to solidify Larissa’s influence.

Jump’s outfit colors change depending on if she has a power up or not, just like Mario.

~Power and abilities~

Cure Jump is a balanced physical fighter, packing good punches and kicks when in battle. She also wields the ability to summon fire for her special attack, “Jumping Fire.” Her jump is also significantly higher than her fellow teammates (which for SFA, aren’t important). At this point in time, she has started to gain upgraded attack power-ups by using “amiibos”. By scanning one, she can summon a copy of a fellow companion to preform their final smash. If they’re around, the power will simply be transferred to them to preform the final smash instead.

In the Mario universe, Jump can also use the various power-ups just like Mario. The only downside is that they only work for a short amount of time for Jump. (Like how the fire and ice flower power-ups work in Mario Galaxy).

~Relationships~

Larissa: “As my vessel, Larissa is… not ideal. She is a coward, fragile like a flower… but she has potential if she puts in the effort. I’ll make it work, that’s why I’m here. As a Precure, it’s my duty to complete my mission, and I will do anything to see it through… no matter what blocks my way, I will rise to the top…”

Mario: “As my teacher, Mario is exactly what you expect. I don’t have much to add, I do what he says, even if I don’t agree at first. Our upbringings are different, so of course at first we’d not agree immediately to certain solutions. Luckily, I’m flexible… not as much as I should be, but I am flexible. He’s a good man, just wants the best for his family and friends, and I can respect that.”

Peach: “The Princess has been awfully busy lately, preparing for her coronation and all. From when I do speak with her, she is very kind and caring, exactly what this kingdom needs. Larissa is more crazy about her than me, so I apologize for the lack of words.”

Sweetheart: “The young Princess… she is very innocent for her age. She seems to have this… unwavering adoration towards anyone. It’s cute… but I fear it may bring her trouble if the wrong person comes along.”

Luigi: “… Luigi reminds me of Larissa.”

Flame: “Flame… for being a fellow fire user like me… he couldn’t be so behind. That scepter of his honestly limits his ability to do more, along with how he constantly panics over everything. Urg, just like Larissa… it’s okay, it’s honestly entertaining to see him arguing with Aqua.”

Aqua: “Aqua is just as good as they say, especially for being around Larissa’s age. His grasp on his aquatic powers are truly impressive for how young he is, and I can only see him getting better as time passes. I can admire his power, but he is a bit stuck up, which… can be worked on. I can’t help but feel he’s trying to compensate for something with that ego of his.”

Merlon: “Merlon is the anchor of this world to my own. They help with summoning me here and returning me back. When in private, we’re able to discuss… topics that we wouldn’t dare to speak of to anyone else. After all… this world is just a video game. But alas, I don’t think I’m even able to tell YOU everything about Merlon. That’s only up to them.”

̸͎͈͙͓̻̻̪͉̭̞͇̰͒ィ̴̨̰̘̥̻̻͊̇͐メ̸͈̠̩̪͔̼̙̒̇̆̓̿́͊̌͊̈́̕ー̴̡̯͙͈̲̤̻͈̤̹͖̌̑͛̒̇̎͐͂̅͐͠ͅン̸̧̪͉̫̺̠̩̟̀̎͛̋͐́̽͑̔͒͌̌̚: “When I—█████████ he’ll—█████████ make sure—██████████████ aha—█████████!!!!—█████████ secret—████████████████ never—█████████delusional…”

~Maria? Or is it Larissa?~

Struggling to tell if it’s Maria or Larissa? Check her eyes!! They say that eyes are the one gateway to someone’s soul, after all~

Larissa will most of the time always have her glasses on, and her eyes will be warm brown. Maria will always take off Larissa’s glasses, and her eyes will be blue.

Maria’s dialogue will also always be italicized in the comic as well.

That’s it for this intro, thank you for reading!

[kaysoncoffee]

Sometimes, I just want to go around and around until I run out of yarn (unfortunately for this stash project, I needed to order more)

I did most of this on Sunday, it’s going a lot faster than I thought

Hook size 8; lionbrand mandala ombré in chi

[femmerose98]

First time making a baby blanket, and I’m giving it to my friend who is about to have a baby! I’m giving it to her tonight and I really hope she likes the colors. 🩵💛 I love the patterns the ombré yarn makes in this double crochet stitch. 💞💞 I’m genuinely nervous to give her this project, but I keep reminding myself I won’t get better if I don’t make things.

name :: fundy, foxy, felix, finn, flynn, fallon, forest, finley, fyxe (pronounced fix)

age :: 21

pronouns :: he/him, fy/fyn, fox/foxs

roles :: system hacker, overclocker, optijective, contrarian advisor, semi-architect, minecraftxenorole

species :: human/fox shifter

gender identity :: kitfoxthing, codegender, sunstelasyne, mangojellyic

orientation :: gay

source :: brainmade / MYCT

aesthetic :: constructivism, memphis design, minivan rock

appearance description :: being both half human and half fox has given Felix the ability to transform from a full fox form to a half-human and half-fox form. fyn hair in human form is a comforting shade of orange with furry black ears sticking up from the fluff. an orange tail with a black tip sprouts from just above his behind and is rather sensitive to the touch. a strange ombré pattern trickles down from his fingers and toes, disappearing as it reaches halfway up his forearms and calves. flynn makes a habit out of wearing long pants with a billion pockets on the legs and a hoodie with deep pockets to stash all of the things he pilfers from others. they’ll get them all back later… probably… if foxy remembers to give them back or gets caught red-handed. when he isn’t being a little shit, fyxe can be found gaming the day away at his computer desk, often to the point of forgetting to eat or drink.

personality description :: an absolute menace of a man who commits so many crimes on a daily basis. whether it be snatching up stuff that isn’t his, coding the headspace to have some sneaky traps implanted, or convincing someone into something through reverse psychology, fundy is always getting up to no good. granted, his version of “no good” revolves around snatching up objects, building or coding things into the headspace that would mildly inconvenience someone, or annoying someone else. still, it can get frustrating. he is a gamer and goes bananas over being given full access to a sandbox game, learning the ins and outs in a matter of hours and starting to mod it as soon as he can. if other alters make stuff in the same game, then fallon will try to help them… though his help isn’t always wanted.

likes :: gaming, coding, making stupid shit, playing with his friends, pulling pranks on people, foxes, creating things, working with others on projects, playing minecraft, committing crimes (not real ones, only lighthearted stuff), snatching things that look cool, YouTube video binging, and pilfering some late night snacks to soothe his hunger

dislikes :: his coding not working, getting caught in his own traps, being called out for the stuff that he does (people just can’t have fun nowadays, can they?), having to work on school stuff (boring!), getting frontstuck, being on his own for too long with nothing to do, and being bored. he hates being bored.

front triggers :: minecraft, coding work/lessons, the idea of making some mischief, pranks and practical jokes

signoff :: 🦊, 💻, 📝, or 🔏

name :: callahan, callum, chandler, caelan, caelus, cian, cillian, conor

age :: 19 to 22

pronouns :: he/him, they/them, si/syr, dear/dears (dearself)

roles :: escutcheon, naturalist, pacific, advisor, minecraftxenorole

species :: deer-human hybrid

gender identity :: deerthing, etincechampic, faefolkspinnic

orientation :: achillean

source :: brainmade / MYCT

aesthetic :: mossy, goblincore, cabincore,

appearance description :: cillian is a shorter guy with curly brown hair, tanned skin, and deep brown eyes. he often wears a cloak over his shoulders to accompany his outfit. why they do this isn’t super clear — but what is clear is that they love their cloak and can often be spotted running around to make the wind blow it back. conor isn’t a huge fan of layers; this usually makes him go shirtless when wearing his cloak, or wear a very light tank top underneath. dear rarely wears shoes when outside as dear likes to feel the dirt and grass under dears feet as dear goes. some folks see this as callum being “dirty” or “gross”, but cal doesn’t care. he knows headspace isn’t as real as the outer world is. so what if he doesn’t wear shoes? it won’t hurt them any. cian sometimes has a muffler he pulls up over his mouth to give himself a barrier between his lips and the world. it feels… safe, somehow.

personality description :: callahan is a very sweet if not somewhat shy person. they’re known for their silly streak and ability to joke around even when they aren’t in the mood to speak. cal’s ability to mime is second to none, and god knows they can use their hands to accentuate things. unlike fundy, caelus doesn’t get any humor out of watching other people suffer. he prefers to help instead of hurt; it makes him feel better about his position and role. despite his preference for silence, cian does like to interact with others. this can come through gestures and actions or simply projecting his thoughts to other headmates without saying a single word. in his mind, this makes communication easier than talking does, what with word choice and tone and all of that. chandler is a bit of a loner, but he still likes to hang out with his friends for special or otherwise important events.

likes :: solidarity, sitting on the ground in the middle of a clearing, fresh dew on blades of grass, observing the world, reindeer, regular deer, in-game wildlife, the small details that really build up a video game, good graphics and smooth frame-rate, sandbox games, being able to play with others, and not having to use his voice to talk during a video game.

dislikes :: big crowds, loud concerts, being annoyed by fundy too often, griefers, people who make games no fun for anyone, rule breakers (ie spawnkills, save-scumming pvp fights, server bounty hunters, hackers, etc), unfair rules, being pushed out of a group in favor of someone else they don’t know, getting replaced, and having to wear shoes when outside for any length of time (it feels so wrong).

front triggers :: being on their own in otherwise busy places, an inability or unwillingness to speak, people-watching, world simulators

signoff :: 🦌, 🌎, or 🗺️

The Ombré Project - 2025

What is the best ombré yarn out there?

That’s what I want to know. Red heart super saver ombré is my current favorite yarn of all time, but it’s not the best yarn. Red heart just isn’t. Is there a better one out there? That’s what I intend to discover.

So, let’s set some ground rules.

“Ombré” and “gradient” are interchangeable in this case. Technically, I’m sure they mean different things, but in this case we’re going to define both of them as long color changes from a light to dark in one shade. There’s one yarn that I do intend to test that I know has multiple colors in it, but it puts the word ombré on the ball band so it’s fair contest. (There’s also one from Michael’s that call itself a multi ombré that I will not be testing because that’s just variegated, not ombré. It’s a clear misnomer.)

I am only using pink yarn from each line that I test. I picked pink (even though purple is my favorite color) because pink seems really popular and I think I can get a pink yarn from each of the yarn lines that I’m testing.

The yarn has to claim that it is a worsted weight. I know there’s ombre gradient yarns out there that are a three-way or a two weight or a sock weight, but most of the time I use worsted weight yarn, and that’s what I like to crochet with.

I will make a granny square of some sort with each yarn. It doesn’t have to be the same pattern, but it should be with a size 8/H 5 mm hook, and it should end up as a square.

I will get one ball of the yarn, and I will crochet until that ball is all gone or until the square is big enough to be a baby blanket. I will at least try to get through one pass of the ombré from light to dark. (When I take notes on that yarn, I will make sure to include the yardage and how much of it I think I used.

I will judge the yarn based on several (pretty subjective and personal) factors:

How pretty is it?

How soft is it?

How good is the gradient/ombré?

How easy is it to work with?

How much yarn do you get?

How much does it cost?

How easy is it to get?

I’ve picked 12 yarns at this point that I’m going to test. If anybody has suggestions, please let me know. I will try to report in regularly.

Here is my current list (with links and some reasoning):

Red Heart Super Saver Ombre - Jazzy -> this one is kind of the baseline. It’s the one I’ve used the most. I know it’s got a good ombré on it.

Lily Sugar and Cream Ombres - Strawberry -> I know this one is cotton. I know this one is dishcloth cotton. It says ombré. It’s going in the competition. I don’t expect it to win.

Caron Jumbo Print Ombre Yarn - Blossom -> never tried this one. I don’t think it comes in too many colors. I’m also pretty sure I had to buy a two pack from Amazon, so it had better be good.

Red Heart Super Saver Super Craft Kit Gradients -> technically this one has four skeins of yarn in it and isn’t just one, but it says gradient and that means I should be able to get a smooth gradient from the light to the darkest if I use the four pinks. Also, it’s really cute and I like little tiny yarn balls.

Soft Classic Ombre Yarn by Loops and Threads Pink Ombre (michael’s) -> still working to get this one. It may be a little tricky to procure… it looks super pretty…

Premier Anti-pilling everyday worsted gradient - Pink tones -> this is the yarn that inspired me to try this in the first place. I do not yet have my hot little hands on any of it, but the moment I heard of it, I went on the premier website and bought one of each of most of the colors. I will be getting enough to make a full Rainbow something; I am only judging the pink for this particular project.

Premier Just Yarn Worsted Value Ombré -> this one looks like it’s trying to be red heart super saver, so we will be definitely comparing the two side-by-side. I haven’t ordered this one yet…

Big Twist Yarn Pink Ombre (Joann’s) -> got some of this over the summer. This one is the reason for the granny squares not all having to be the same, because I had already gotten quite far into my skin of this with a shell blanket, and I don't feel like pulling it all back to do a regular granny square.

Lion Brand Mandala Gradient - Hot Pink -> from what I’ve seen this one and the premier anti-pilling one came out fairly close together, so I’m not sure who’s competing with whom. I will say I have heard not great things about this one from online reviewers.

Lion Brand Yarn (1 Skein) Lion Brand Yarn ice Cream Baby Yarn, Strawberry -> doesn't say ombré, but it sure looks pretty and I want it. This might also be a three-weight instead of a four weight, but again it's pretty and I want it.

Lion Brand Yarn Mandala Ombré Yarn with Vibrant Colors, Soft Yarn for Crocheting and Knitting, Pure, 1-Pack -> this is the one with more than one color. It is pink and blue and possibly white. Like I said, it says ombré in the name so it’s fair game for the competition. It will be losing points if it is not ombré.

Caron Cloud Cakes Perfect Phasing - Rhubarb -> somehow I get the feeling that this one is going to be thicker than a worsted weight. I was reluctant to put it on here, but it is really super pretty. We will see.

Are there any that I have forgotten? Are there any that people would like to see me test? Otherwise, I will report back with my first couple posts about this in a few days.

@daily-writing-challenge - May 2024 - Day 4 - Drama

The Banshee’s Wail

TW: Dementia, infidelity, violence

A woman’s voice screeched through Nahilvi’s comm, hidden under her hair, you could hide an entire engineering shop there with as full as the ombré curls were. “You PERVERT! You stay away from me! My daughter will be home any minute!”

It was the last day of the Hearts Of Tenacity fest and Nahi was kicked back around the fire sharing snacks with Pheonix, a woman she just met, while wearing her jeans, boots and Starstriders tee. One last night of freedom, then she would go back to the chaos of her family life, that was all she had been hoping for, one last night.

Scrambling to her feet, she apologized to the people around her who could hear the screaming, it had been so loud, and ran away from the circle. She stopped behind a tree and clicked the small device. “Mother… what in the Fel is going on?”

“There is a MAN here who tried to climb into my bed.”

Before she could respond another voice came from the shared family channel. “Hey Nahi, sorry, she has been so good all weekend.”

The singer ran three fingers up the center of her forehead then down to the bridge of her nose and kept her voice calm, “Mother… that is your husband Irenthalas. You have been married for years now.”

“No! I don’t KNOW him.” The pitch of the wail was so high only a trained singer could project it. Her mother had been an opera singer for hundreds of years, she had perfected it.

Well there went the last night of the festival and she hadn’t even been able to say goodbye to the new people she met. “I will be there in a minute, Iren.” It would do no good to address her mother, she was in one of her lapses. The dark skinned performer reached into her pack and pulled out her hearthstone, setting it for their home in Dalaran.

In the time it had taken for that simple action, Nahi could hear something shatter upstairs. The stairs were traversed three at a time with her long strides and she slid into the doorway to take in the chaos. Irenthalas was on the floor, blood streaming from his head, there was shattered porcelain in a blue and white pattern around him and her mother was lifting a lamp like she was going to throw it. “Mother stop!”

“Call the guards! Where is the one posted at my door? Our Prince would never leave me unguarded! Did this man kill him?”

Alright, this was one of her bad episodes. Nahilvi’s mother had been a singer in Kael’thas’ court for a long time, one of the favored entertainers that only performed in the main throne room. When the keep was attacked, she had fallen after taking a blow to the head. Nahi had picked up a sword to protect them but luckily the invader’s were focused on Prince Sunstrider by that time and it had allowed Irenthalas to get to them.

He had secretly been infatuated with Acenadalia for decades, but he was a lowly priest and her mother was married to Viscount Preado Sunburst, the ennobled bastard that her mother had found in her dressing room getting head from two of the Summershade triplets while suckling the third’s breast. Of course that wasn’t the first time he had been caught with his pants down, but it had been the latest.

Iren had helped get them clear before the keep was locked down completely, taking the women to his familial home in Dalaran. He treated her mother but the damage that had been done had left her permanently impaired. She had taken a glancing blow to the temple from an invader’s mace, the skull fracture and cuts healed well, but when Acenadalia woke it was clear she was not in her right mind.After it was clear that Nahi’s father had not made it out, Iren and her mother were wed.

With more work the lucid times outweighed the spells when her memory lapsed, but her mother had to be watched all the time. The last time she had not she walked right into the Alliance alcove in the city and demanded that she be taken to Kael’thas immediately along with no few ‘don’t you know who I am’s’ thrown in for good measure,

“Iren?” Nahilvi questioned while keeping an eye on her mother as sometimes she wasn��t recognized either.

The man’s deep voice sounded exhausted, “I’m alright, she just threw a teapot at my head. I never liked that set anyway.”

“Wasn’t that your grandmother twice removed’s set?”

“Yes, but family lore said she was a harridan.”

Nahi wanted to laugh but was expecting a lamp to be hurled at her or her step-father at any moment. “Mother, it is alright I am here now.”

“He crawled into my BED!”

The shrillness of her mother’s voice caused daggers of pain to embed themselves in Nahi’s head, “I am here now, you are safe, put down the lamp.”

“MY BED!”

“MOTHER!” Nahilvi yelled, she hated doing that most of all, “I am here, we will get everything sorted, put down the lamp.

Acenadalia’s gold eyes snapped to her daughter and narrowed, then they opened wide, “Nahi? When did you get home? Did you enjoy your festival? Did they like my song? I bet they did, you have such a lovely voice. Iren? Why are you on the floor? Did you fall?” She set the lamp back down and crawled into her huge bed, “Come to bed dear, I am sure our daughter would like a bath and settle in for the night.”

Just like that, all the drama ended and they were all one big happy family again. Her mother hadn’t been wrong, she did want a bath and bed, but that bath was going to be accompanied by a bottle of brandy. “Sleep well mother, Iren. I love you.”

(Minor mention of #pheonix)

Pew pew 🎉

Who? @rosurie

I understand the struggle with the Wraith. Sleep is for the weak, they can’t drag me into the lake kicking and screaming if I don’t go to sleep >:)

But ya, they really just have it out for me. I’m a fool who opened the flood gates. I kind of have beef with the Ivory wraith for ruining my first Halloween.

Breakdown below ⬇️

Bangs : With how the side pieces are I think the bangs would be better not attached to the face (aka embroidered.)🪼 Hair type : Doll hair. The curls at the bottom would need to be maintained by the owner though but I think it be worth it. You just need to get some sort of curler like a large straw and pour hot water over it then let it rest (this is simplified, look up tutorials on it if your curious and make sure the maker of your doll is clear about what hair they use so you don’t do something wrong to it.)🪼 Clothing : both top and bottom seem like easy finds but generally it’s not always easy finding clothes sellers. The belt for the jeans skirt is prob something you’d need to sew or have custom. The warms are fine. Hair accessories can sometimes just be found at kids accessories stores like Claire’s since they make their things smaller for children to wear.🪼 Issues that may happen : ombré pieces as doll hair sometimes cost extra. I know some makers do add on prices for extra hair colors and some other stuff. Necklace can be made with a strip of fabric and a small cross charm if you know a little bit of hand sewing. Hair bows can be children’s rubber band hair bows (I saw it before on kids when I was younger. Almost identical.)

Drawing was, I could have done better with the lips. I had fun today.

Long break, that was like a month? Yep. Anyway, the mini project I was talking about. I’ve decided I’ll be doing minis of any fan kids I see, I love seeing people draw their PC’s babies. I’ll just need to figure out what tag would be the best for finding those. Also I need to make a mini template since the body type is different.

[lizablee]

I need to know if Laudna was wearing her newly completed craft project when she got slashed. Is that a little bit of blood in that ombré?
