My Russian graft instructions are pretty followable! Also the purple ended up looking pretty nice despite the weird scrap elements.

thank u to the person who donated 36 1-ounce skeins of bulky weight vintage wool yarn with four plies (shrink resistant and moth proof) to the local thrift store ilysm
#yarn#zeke speaks#granted I'll have to join so many ends together#I might try out spit splicing bc it seems like a smoother join than the russian join#I'm so hyped#I never knit anything in bulky yarn much less garments bc it's sm more expensive per meter#compared to finer yarns

it’s been my dream for quite some time to start a youtube channel.
HOWEVER with me being a generalist, it would have no particular niche. and while my goal is not to have even a thousand followers (i mean having 100 would make me incredibly anxious), i would still like to foster a community on there, you know?
anyway, it would have several topics:
knitting (knitting podcast-ish?)
language learning (russian and swedish, perhaps others later on)
writing (i’m working on a romantasy)
random infodumps about something that would make me look like:
yeah, i don’t know what to do, woe is me.

Went to the Atlanta Major
I cosplayed as Kapkan on Friday and Saturday
(photos taken by Pubs https://instagram.com/publs_?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==)
#r6community#r6s cosplay#r6s kapkan#maxim basuda#i also did elite smoke on sunday but that will be separate#also for both days i put on the camo paint with a 3 color camo stick#and then i used the black part of the camo paint to draw my eyebrows back on over the paint#since not having them was too weird#also you cant see it in these photos but i knitted my own Ukraine patch and velcroed it onto the sleeve#i dont have any of the patches for Kapkan but that's fine for now#i might get them in a bit but i refuse to wear the russian flag#i might swap out the FSB patches for KORD patches

Ты сразу узнаешь, я буду как в фильме красиво руками сжимать пистолет
Привет!
Спустя огромное количество времени, лет, месяцев и всего остального я решила выложить тут хоть что-нибудь, чтобы было где рассказать еще раз о том, чего я делаю своими шаловливыми ручками и как доставляю удовольствие носить свои изделия не только себе, но и другим людям.
Да, я угораю по вязанию всё ещё с некоторым фанатизмом. Но мне нравится! Именно такое вязание, мелкое, на 2,5 мм спицах, даже не знаю, как объяснить это. Мне просто нравится то, как выглядят изделия после такой кропотливой работы. Вроде, сначала, когда только начинаешь вязать, ты ненавидишь себя за то, что решил начать, а спицы за то, что они такие маленькие. Но потом, спустя время, когда ты понимаешь, что изделие растет, что оно получается таким, каким ты мечтала - это становится автоматически самым прекрасным изделием на земле.
А это - шапка и целый набор из шапки и шарфа-снуда, которые я связала за года три, кажется. Я давно рассказывала о своих рукодель��ых свершениях, и тут, кажется, не особо много вязания спицами. По крайней мере, на первой страничке моего бложика. Да и потом тоже вязания не так уж и много. К тому же, мою шапку никто не видел, поэтому можно рассказать о ней тоже.
Заказная шапка для мамы моей подруги Это была моя первая серьезная работа на заказ. До этого я, конечно, вязала для этой же женщины шапки, но я их вязала крючком и из толстой пряжи. А тут мне заказали шапку, которую я уже вязала себе, о которой расскажу позже. И вот я выбрала цвета, вооружилась своим МК, который я честно купила у Лены Котиковой. И начала вязать. Вязала долго, местами мучительно. Когда закрывала первую часть шапки, поняла, что ошиблась в расчетах, и пришлось распускать шапку до момента первых убавок, а это было уже рядов 20, наверное, может быть, чуть поменьше, но много, в общем. Но я справилась! И отлично справилась со второй частью шапки. Обещала ее связать до ноября, и связала, по факту, в последние дни октября, устраивая себе марафоны и поставив цель успеть. Шапка заказчице понравилась, и, по словам моей подруги, она зимой носила ее с удовольствием. А я рада! Люблю, когда мои изделия приносят счастье и радость людям. Да, шапка двойная, связана из Drops Alpaca Mix, цвета 7815 и 0501, ушло примерно по 60 грамм каждого цвета. Очень люблю альпаку у Дропс, просто невероятная любовь. Разлетается во все стороны, но зато какой результат! И шапка в итоге получилась теплой, это самое главное.
Набор шапка-снуд Это уже мой личный наборчик, который спасает меня зимой. Сначала появилась, разумеется, шапка. Я решила опробовать мастер-класс для себя, чтобы понять, понравится ли мне вообще оно, как будет выглядеть на мне, какова пряжа в работе, потому что это был первый раз, когда я решила ее попробовать. Да, это тоже Drops Alpaca Mix, цвета 7238 и 7233 и в снуде, и в шапке. Так вот, шапка. Вязала я ее долговато, накосячила где-то в убавках, но тут я решила, что, раз уж вяжу для себя, то и порешаю тоже как-нибудь без роспуска. Да, для себя я не особо стараюсь в этом плане :D Тогда я впервые купила себе красивые маркеры для вязания, чтобы мне было само�� приятно вязать. У меня были только толстенькие пластиковые, которые я использовала в круговом вязании крючком, а хотелось тоненькие, и чтобы эстетично было. Шапку я носила один сезон. А на следующий решила связать себе снуд, а то чего это я, ношу шапку не с тем шарфом, который прям напрашивался. И рискнула снова взять тонкие спицы и эту самую пряжу. Вязала тоже долго, упорно, но вся проблема тут была, что нужно было вязать тупо трубу, без всяких убавок и прочего. Было скучновато, признаюсь. Но результат того стоил! Теперь у меня есть невероятной красоты комплект, который, я надеюсь, разрастется до тройного набора - ведь я еще купила мастер-класс на варежки в этом же стиле :)

Trying “Russian speed knitting” (I’ve also seen called European speed knitting) as a technique but jokes on me: until I get to grips with getting my tension right this is going slower than my olde throwing technique….
Best hack I’ve been able to come op with so far is having my yarn in front of my knitting rather than my usual (behind the knitting and off to one side) but I’ll keep working on it. I can see how this can be much faster -eventually- and I’m impatient to get there!

I did my first Russian Join last night on the first item I'm knitting for me to wear.
It doesn't seem like much to more accomplished knitters but I'm pretty stoked. I want to tell my Grandma but she went to hang out with God a few years ago..

This was not what you expected.
You, a woman in your late twenties that spent most of her time in a room listening to voices and decoding foreign messages, didn’t know what you expected. But this: a scary boss, an italian old man, and a skinny college kid, was not it.
“Y/n L/n? I’m Aaron Hotchner, the unit chief, and this is Agent Rossi and Doctor Agent Reid.”
You nodded your head, thick hair covering your top eyelashes as you glanced at the men. Agent Rossi shook your hand, and Dr Reid simply stood and gawked at you. To be honest, it made you worried. You had been warned this was a close knit team, that they trusted each other more than anything and that you shouldn’t get attached to any of them as you’d only be assisting them for one case.
Maybe they just didn’t warm up to new people.
“I’ll do your formal introduction to the rest of the team now, if you’re settled down.” He asks cooly. You like the way his voice rasps, it’s assertive yet comforting.
“Yes, of course. I can’t wait.” You smiled reassuringly at the unit chief, not ignoring the raised eyebrow you received from the silent young man now behind you.
Aaron Hotchner, your new boss for the next week or so, lead you to a large room with a circular table sat in the middle. There were two other women, one blonde and one raven haired, and another bald man that glanced at you immediately after you entered. They smiled at you and trailed your steps to where you stood beside the unit chief in front of a large TV screen.
“Everyone, this is Agent Y/n L/n. She’ll be assisting us with the Becker case you’ve all been informed of. She’ll mainly be our translator and interpreter, but she’ll also be useful for cultural identifiers and anything that we wouldn’t notice otherwise.”
You nodded along, never being a fan of introductions since you moved to America as a small child.
“This is JJ, our liaison, Agent Emily Prentiss and Agent Derek Morgan.”
The ladies smiled at you, in fact all of them did. They were surprisingly open to the fact you would be joining them, the fact made your shoulders loosen and a breath to be let out discreetly.
Next, you were on a long plane flight to Maine with Agents you had known for little under two hours, conversing about victim profiles and motives. The table in front of the ladies and your boss was strewn with victim files and gruesome photos. And while you weren’t a stranger to the dangers and violence the job brought, you had gotten comfortable with only hearing about it and not seeing it. So you opted to hover around the table and stay silent, you weren’t a trained profiler after all, just a translator.
There was a wave of cologne that disrupted your senses, causing you to angle your head back, only to be greeted by the tall doctor.
You smiled softly, assuming the closeness was due to the aeroplane's arrangement. Also because you got the vibe that Spencer didn’t like you.
“Are you okay? You seem uneasy,” he asked. It was the first time you heard his voice. And it was as adolescent as you imagined for someone so young, but it had a sophisticated edge to it, with a honey-like undertone. Finding things in voices as if they were perfumes was something you unconsciously started to do since working as a translator.
“I’m fine.” You grinned reassuringly, turning back to focus on the team’s findings.
Spencer furrowed his eyebrows slightly and stepped away, sitting down beside Morgan who had taken a seat at the back. Morgan squinted at his friend, noticing the rare confusion splayed on his face as he stared in your direction.
“What’s up? Pretty girl got your tongue?” Morgan removed his headphones with a cheeky smile displayed on his handsome face.
“For someone who specialises in languages she doesn’t talk much.”
Morgan smirked, “Maybe not to you.”
“I didn’t do anything wrong though.” Spencer ripped his gaze off the back of your head.
“You’ve been staring at her since she walked through those doors. You were so distracted you didn’t even greet her this morning.” Morgan pointed out. Spencer tilted his head confused, a small blush creeping up his neck. “I watched the whole thing from the conference room, so did JJ and Emily.”
The tall boy slumped in his chair and forced himself to look out of the plane’s window, avoiding a reply to Morgan as he knew it would only result in more teasing. You were physically attractive, everyone could see that, but the thing that caught Spencer’s attention was your intelligence. He was no stranger to being a polyglot, he learnt languages for fun, but you were simply next level. Morgan studied Spencer’s face for a second before raising his attention to your hovering state. “Agent Y/n L/n.” Morgan called, causing Spencer to widen his eyes and immediately adjust his slumped position in his plane seat. You turned your head in surprise, slightly confused why you would be needed anywhere else than the files you had been translating for the past two minutes. Your heels were silent against the carpeted floors, but Spencer could sense your presence anyways.
“How many languages do you speak?” The stoic man asked, his eyes darting between you and the doctor below you. You were not short, your genes didn’t allow for it, but you had noticed you were only taller than JJ and Rossi in the team and it felt foreign to not tower over everyone. “Um, I speak 8 languages fluently, and 4 languages semi-fluently.” You stated, readying to turn back to assist the team before Morgan spoke up once again
“Did you know that pretty boy can speak Spanish and German?”
Before Spencer could help himself, he corrected the man, “And Latin and Russian,” Spencer turned his head up to you, “But I can understand more.”
You smiled, genuinely impressed and confused on how a man that young could learn that much. But to be fair, you were in the same boat. The nickname got your attention, locking it in the back of your mind to remind yourself that the people you were working with did in fact have senses of humour, and weren’t just heartless officers. There wasn’t any reason to think that though, as you had been cared for with respect and even Prentiss made a funny remark beforehand. It sort of felt like a family dinner you were intruding on. “That’s impressive, Doctor Reid.” You reply genuinely.
“I mean it’s nothing compared to you though,” his voice was pitched slightly higher and his hands started motioning to nothing in particular, “your brain is constantly changing from high activity to low activity when you're translating from one language to another. Your language network, the lateral frontal lobe, is constantly lighting up and dimming down depending on what language you hear, ordinary people’s language networks only turn on and off.”
Morgan smirked and glanced up at your intrigued and surprised expression. You nodded, a small blush coating the tips of your ears as you responded, “Thank you.” You didn’t really know what else to say, which is funny for someone who understands so many languages, so you simply smiled and turned back to the table. Spencer slumped again, watching you walk away and asking himself why he would inform a pretty girl about her own brain, when she most definitely already knows about it.
“Don’t worry too much, Reid.” Morgan called, grabbing Spencer’s attention. The boy raised a brow, not understanding. “She digs it, I can tell. But she’s just like you, knows how to speak in a million ways and still doesn’t know how to small talk.”
You landed without any more awkward interactions, and got introduced to some sheriffs in Maine, one of them giving you a tighter handshake than the rest and a stare that could only mean unpleasant things. It wasn't something sexist or creepy that lingered in his eyes, it was more like hatred. Spencer took the sheriff's attention away from you after noticing what the whole team did, and asked him to show him the records they kept at the precinct.
Emily Prentiss came up behind you and placed a hand on your upper arm, squeezing it like she understood what you had thought you'd seen. Out of everyone else in the team, she would understand the most.

Oh I just hold the yarns alongside each other and knit for about 10 stitches, letting each end stick out to the inside just under a cm. (First video)
For a clean break in color, I double the yarn back in itself about 5 stitches worth. Knit a few stitches with it (again leaving a less-than-a-cm tail to the inside of the work), then thread the new yard through the loop. Knit on.
After the change in yarn color, knit with the new yarn held together for about 5 stitches, again leaving a tiny tail to the inside.
On the next round, don’t forget to pick up a stitch of the different color from below and knit it with the new color, to make the stripe “jogless.”
No tapestry needle even needed. VERY RARELY do I ever have an end work loose through the knitting (usually they will felt in after a couple wearings and washings).

Катана, катана, я не пострадала, мне этого мало, и следующий ты!
Пришло время рассказать о том, что я совершила невероятный для себя поступок. Отбросив на время маленькие процессы, забыв о том, что мне нравится вообще-то вязать носки, взяв свою принципиальность в руки, купив кучу пар круговых спиц, чтобы было чем вязать... Я взяла и связала кофту. Да не просто кофту, а кофту, которую я потом носила почти всю зиму и которая меня согревала каждый день, за исключением тех дней, когда она стиралась и сушилась.
Пряжа - Alize Lanagold, цвет 118, спицы 3,5 мм (для резинки), 4,5 мм (для лицевой глади). Расход ~4 мотка.
С ней всё же случились некоторые приколы, без которых я - не я. И о них поподробнее далее.
С самого начала все пошло не то чтобы так, как надо. Я начала горло слишком узко, хотя, вроде бы, все казалось так, как надо, да и в мастер-классе было все посчитано именно на мою пряжу (точнее, я специально купила пряжу под кофту из-за того, что там использовалась именно она). Я и не придала изначально никакого значения этому, подумаешь, вдруг потом будет лучше. Лучше, конечно же, не стало.
В остальном же вязание было достаточно легким. Не учитывая если только тот факт, что вязала я, преимущественно, летом, а летом 2022 года был сущий кошмар в плане жары, особенно для меня - человека, который любит прохладу. Поэтому почти всё вязание переехало планомерно на осень, когда стало легче дышать, проще существовать и появилось желание жить.
Второй прикол произошел при закрытии низа кофты и одного из рукавов. Я нашла в ин��ернетиках классный с виду способ закрытия петель. Ну, подумала, что тут такого сложного, раз и всё. Но нифига! Я, как человек, который до этого ограничивался лайтовыми закрытиями в носках и шалях, затянула нить насколько сильно, что теперь не могу без внутренних матюгальников надевать кофту. Переделывать не рвусь, потому что, если честно, немного лень. Но дискомфорт иногда доставляет. Раздумываю над тем, что стоит постирать как-нибудь и заблокировать всё это на булавки, чтобы хоть чуточку растянулось. Не уверена, что получится, но... может, что-то и выгорит.
А в целом, для первого плечевого изделия, да еще и реглан-погоном, которым я никогда не вязала - ништяк. Буду пробовать вязать еще что-то, может быть, не такое плотное и не на зиму, но это уже не в этом году, вероятно :D Есть у меня пачка хлопка, думаю вот теперь, может быть, его извести на что-то подобное и регланом? Может, вовсе свяжу себе маленькое пальто-кардиган... Не знаю! Пряжи так много, планов так много, а времени катастрофически ни на что не хватает. Впрочем, как и всегда!
