[dango-daikazoku]

i realized hours into this that uhhh it recommended sport yarn but i'm using worsted weight soooo

i'm gonna have to really modify this pattern....

instead of these being the small stalk and small leaf they're now the biggest and i'm gonna have to shrink the pattern down to make a new medium and new small

Papa Emeritus II à la the Bayeux Tapestry

Info dump/explanation below the cut

Like all fanfic authors, I fell down a research rabbit hole. You know, you make your character do embroidery because you yourself have recently take it up and know some things about it. But then you realize that you, in fact, know nothing about medieval embroidery. And after a day of research you're like "ah, I must of course try this myself." So, here we are, three weeks later, and one historically accurate-ish project later.

I based Secondo's pose off of this guy on the Tapestry.

I used the stitches (laid work/Bayeux stitch and stem stitch) attested to on the Tapestry. The stitches were worked in mostly 2-ply darning thread from Schachenmayr (because I literally only today found a place to buy real crewel work thread). But the gold, red, and face part of the black was standard cotton DMC embroidery floss.

I actually really enjoyed this project and am so, so tempted to do more scenes. Perhaps the moment when Terzo is dragged off stage? For the dynamic drama. But I might need someone to help with the line work since I can't just trace an existing dude. We'll see

Ranna's Year in Knits

2023's FOs and the current WIP on the needles!

Wanda Vest by Faye Kennington

Socks in Knit Picks Felici Roommates - my own unwritten pattern

Putting the rest behind a cut since it'll be a LOT of photos!

JCL Hats

Socks in Zwerger Garn Opal XLarge Polarwolf 8-fach - my own unwritten pattern

More JCL hats! (The one with owls is the Owl Night Long Beanie by Deja Joy; the rest are my own unwritten patterns.)

Feather and Fan socks (my own pattern which I think I actually did write up on a Tumblr post somewhere? I knit a lot of feather and fan stripey socks now!) in Knit Picks Felici, Space disco colorway

Ebb and Flow by Michele Bernstein

More Feather and Fan socks! This time in the Rock In Rio colorway of Schachenmayr Regia Festival Color 4-fädig / 4-ply

Flash fingerless gloves, for a commission

Socks (my own unwritten pattern again) in Premier Yarns Serenity Sock Prints in the 108 Dn colorway. I think this yarn is discontinued; I found a few skeins of it in my dresser in my parents' house and reclaimed them. It made great socks! These are some of my favorites -in fact I just wore them yesterday.

Kinross Avenue Wrap by Carla Cuadros

Beverly Mitts by Jean Riedlinger

Spring Buds Fingerless Mitts by Robin Currier

Maleme Cardigan by Meiju K-P

Yet more JCL hats :-D (The owls are, again, Owl Night Long Beanie by Deja Joy and the hearts are Milda by Claire Slade)

Also more socks in Premier Yarns Serenity Sock Prints! This colorway is 801 Lavendar topaz.

Rustic Little Heart by Heidi Kirrmaier (knitting a few of these for a school thing but this is the only one I got a picture of before I handed it off...)

Water Lily by Sybil R is the cutest dishcloth I've ever made. I had to fiddle with the instructions after making the first one (in lighter colors) and ending up with gaps at the tips of the petals, but the second one (in darker colors) turned out delightfully and I gave it to my uncle when he hosted us for Christmas. :-D

And last but not least is the current WIP...but Tumblr tells me I've just hit the limit for pictures in one post XD So I guess it's for the best that my Aeria by Linnea Ornstein is not yet a FO? I'll post it separately, it's too gorgeous to wait for it to be finished!

[impandgnomes]

Mr Biggles!!!!

I'm so happy with how this little dude turned out. He's much bigger than my previous ones, so I posed him with my creepy nendoroid doll for scale so you could hopefully get an idea of the size. He's a present for my sister, who asked specifically for him for her birthday (and his face to be scared lmao). She's completely wild about it from what I can tell. He makes me think that the one youtooz are making should have been so much fuzzier ngl. Technical details below the cut!

I worked off the AradiyaToys Kenny pattern for this mostly, but I used the hair from their Butters pattern (which I quickly realized I'd already figured out myself, but I digress) and custom ears and tummy using circles.

The bulk of his body is worked on Schachenmayr Baby Smiles Lenja Soft paired with some brown 4ply cotton for strength, and Sirdar Snowflake and Snuggly Bunny for the other details. His head is wholly cotton (barring the felt) and uses some doubled-up Scheepjes Catona with a random Aran cotton I lost the label for for his hair. I'm continuing to paint over the felt for the eyes and painting on details, as I really like the consistency it provides. I'm so happy with how I can move his hood up and down - my partner came up with that one pretty early on.

I'll probably add some legs because the base isn't too clear, but I'll need to order more Baby Smiles first 😅

Crypto the Magical Dragon.

You can find this pattern in @scheepjes Yarn Bookazine 16, pattern created by talented @projectarian .

I have used 100% cotton yarns for my dragon.

So if you want to make youre own same way here is my small guide:

3 balls of Scheepjes Catona Denim color 170 or any color you like

1 ball of Scheepjes Catona Denim color 166 or any color you like

1 ball of Scheepjes Catona color 105

Schachenmayr Catania Color or Scheepjes Catona Chroma, any color you like

2,5mm and 3,5 mm crochet hooks

For parts that in pattern recuired big hook I have used two yarns held together.

For parts that in pattern recuired smaller hook I used just one yarn

The Owl Around and Find Out Mittens

Finished my Owl Around Mittens I've been working on since christmas. I gave em a little twist with the Latvian Braid and the bicolored ribbed cuff. I also carried the black yarn on the inside of the tip, because I found it kind of thin compared to the rest of the mitten, since it's stranded color work and therefor quite thick and warm. For the black lining of the folded cuff I used needles a size thicker than for the rest.

Worst thing: I don't like the pointy tips. In hindsight I would've liked a rounded tip better, but didn't want to unravel it to make it that way.

Best thing: they match my favourite scarf. Also, ears!

Colored yarn is Schachenmayr Tahiti in Bermuda 07617 (cotton), black yarn is ElbSox Merino. Yarn for the eyes is Novita Venla in Mustard, which I already used for their lovely Fox-Socks pattern. Pattern is Owl Around by Natalia Moreva.

[hibernationfibres]

More sister-socks!! This time for my friend Andrew (merry christmas @squidaresquishy !!!) I absolutely adore how these came out, and it’s the second time I’ve used these lovely yarns for sister-socks!

Yarn: Schachenmayr ‘Baby Smiles Bravo Baby’ in shades Türkis, Flieder, Goldmarie and Apricot

Pattern: I used ‘These socks are made for walking’ by Fiona Hamilton-MacLaren as the base, but altered the texture, adding the raised purl stripes from the ‘Pauline Sweater Junior’ by Johanna Gehrisch, which I made last year (and again never posted! I should get on that!)

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade Or in this case, you attempt to crochet some cushion covers for some uncovered bolster pillows?

You know how it is, mom died, left me with her yarn stash, etc etc

So we have a bunch of these foam tube pillows around the house, ones my mom had actually made crochet covers for herself. But the thing is... There were some problems with them.

First, I fucking hated the colors she had used. They were these hideous, desaturated denim-blues + mustard yellows, colors that I maybe wouldn't mind on their own but absolutely could not stand together (but blue just does not belong in my color palettes in general)

Second, she had crochet'd the covers shut. So you could not remove those pillow cases and wash them without destroying them.

So I looked at the random yarns I had around, found this green cotton yarn and figured. If I supplement it with black, I could make cute covers for these pillows. And so I did.

I used slightly less than six balls of Schachenmayr Catania for this (colors 0412 and 00110). I only had the one ball of green yarn to start with, I didn't know how much I was going to need to do just one cover but I knew I wanted these to be black+green striped covers. So I ordered one ball of black yarn to start with, just to get started and see how far I could get with those two balls of yarn. Once I realized I'd need like one and a half balls per color just to finish one cover, I figured I might as well do a second pillow case while I was at it, so I'd have two matching pillow cases and hopefully wouldn't be left with awkward amounts of scrap yarn at the end. And so I did that, ordered four more balls of yarn (after taking a multi-month break from the project) and finished these pillow cases

And yeah, these were really easy to do actually. I did considder doing single crochet instead of double, because you wouldn't be able to see the foam through the gaps in the crochet as well, but I feared single crochet would eat up too much yarn and I wasn't against making these pillow cases as fast as possible, so I went with the double

And yeeeaah, I just. Crochet'd some rectangles in the right size, sewed the sides together to make a tube. And to make the covers easy to wash, I left the ends open, tying them together with some yarn. Again, mainly just so they'd be easy to wash, but also, I figured that'd make the pillows look almost like wrapped candies and I thought they'd look kind of cute.

Honestly I think these turned out really cute, my only regret is that the second one I made, I messed up with my measurements and made the fabric too wide, so the cover is way too big for the foam piece. The only way to have fixed that would've meant just completely unraveling the whole thing and starting from the begining with fewer crochet stitches and... I do not care that much. It's fine

But hey, that's one more project completed, whee

🧡 Hazelnut the little bunny! 🥕 Pattern by @littlefish.crocheterie 💕 I loved working on this pattern which works up beautifully and is soooo cute! 🥹 In the original post, the yarn used is a tweed like yarn which inspired me to use up this random ball of tweed yarn from Schachenmayr I had lying about! The bunny head, body and extremities used up 1 skein of yarn and was a perfect stashbuster in my case! 🧶❤️ I did change some stuff, namely added a little tail and made the overalls removable! Definitely recommend this pattern 🥰 Tags: #amigurumiplushie #amigurumiproject #amigurumidoll #amigurumibunny #crochetbunny #hazelnutthebunny #crochetplush #freepattern #stashbusting #yarnlovers #CAL #haken #knuffel #gehaakteknuffel https://www.instagram.com/p/CnPAzPbLIOV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[mor-and-more]

So I got my yarn winder

And I got a hank of hand-dyed yarn

Aaaand so here's my very ugly cake of a very pretty yarn

I guess I'll need to wind a few to get the feel for it

Also I guess there was some cracking in the cake holding part, because now the cracks are visible... So I gotta order a spare now, in case this one breaks (but that's pretty cheap, so I don't mind that too much, just gotta give it a good look-over when it arrives)

Also the base for this yarn was Schachenmayr Regia for Hand-Dye, and they even included the sleeve for it!

Asphaltwelten part 3

// Go Plastic Company site-specific performance

+ performance + artistic research

The third and final part of the project "Asphaltwelten" of the go plastic company deals with the themes of "shelter & life on the street". This last part works on the artistic thesis of a utopia: a group that renounces stability and security: a life without walls, without insurance, without rootedness. Being at home in the body, not in buildings. Independent of origin, orientation and opinion. A throwing together of biographies on public but "neutral" ground. How do we feel and create our own "artistic shelter"? How far does it reach; does it encompass only me or others as well? How can I carry it, support it, take it with me and (co-)share it?

Artistic Research / Performance: Douglas Bateman, Caroline Beach, Joseph Hernandez, Cat Jimenez, Christian Novopavlovski, Steph Quinci, Esther Schachenmayr, Rika Yotsumoto
