#so not only long double crochet

[sweaterkittensahoy]

I finally finished this fucking skirt! It was supposed to be a dress, but fuck that!

I am very happy with it, but long double crochet can bite my whole butt.

Look at it go!

[sxlphie]

Bought a very beautiful vintage dress which ended up being quite baggy in the back 💀 I think tomorrow I will have to accept my fate and take it to be altered (💸)

Unique Magic Your Next Line is! [ Flash Forward ] — "An indisputable future is what I see... Your Next Line is!"

BRIEF OVERVIEW (STC)

Oz is a man of many tricks; he was raised to entertain the audience, which is why he is great at lightening up the mood of the room. The many tricks he can do reminds others of a puppy trained on how to play dead, or shake hands. Despite that, Oz actually struggles in actually expressing the his true feelings— used to being the brunt of many jokes growing up, he believes that he is simply a puppet used for the entertainment of others. He sees himself as a hollow doll with no real personality, only meant for display. He is confused about who his truly is, used to what others want to see and not what he wants to show. Slowly, he is realizing that he is merely human, and that he should live for his own sake. (Old info from my notes)

TIDBITS

Random Facts - Part-beastmen, specifically a rabbit beastmen but he lacks actual features aside for his tail that was cauterized off when he was younger - He doesn't look the part but he also likes getting into shenanigans, sometimes instigating Yuu and Adeuce with the pranks they do (No one really believes the trio when they say it was Oz's idea) - He's double jointed which is helpful with his Acrobatic hobby. - Love language is gift giving, and has a tendency to make crochets for other people. They're typically things that remind them of the other. - Has a lot of birthmarks on his face, but he started to cover them with foundation after Floyd made fun of it. - Has a terrible sense of direction so he gets lost easily, but he'd like to travel around the world someday. - He has terrible luck, and while he doesn't believe in superstitions he began to be wary about them. Doesn't want to get knocked out unconscious by a basketball whenever he passes by the gym. - Doesn't really mind being called Oswald, but he associated that to whenever he'd get scolded... so Oz is his more go to nickname.

TYPING QUIRK: - His friend got him into using Kaomojis, he likes the ones with bunny ears. - Likes sending voice messages to get his point across. - Usually types in sentence cases, (although when he isn't feeling well he types in lower cases) SPEAKING QUIRK: - Uses a lot of onomatopoeia to describe unknown things. - Speaks firmly when he feels strong emotions. - Sometimes bites his tongue when he rambles, or not focused. BEHAVIOURAL QUIRKS: - Nose has a tendency to twitch when he’s interested, or irritated. - He also unconsciously thumps his foot when he’s annoyed.

RELATIONSHIPS (WIP)

(Might put a brief overview on their more notable relationships in the future!) Note: - Main Oc x Canon is with Jamil (ignore that pink on silver and jade) - Divus is his foster parent

How to crochet a temperature blanket in eight easy steps (with pictures) :

Step 1: choose your colors and set the ranges

Step 2: get started crocheting!

Step 3: hmm. This is only a month and it’s pretty long.

Step 4: maybe a double crochet was the wrong stitch for this

Step 5: haha yeah it’s a little big

Step 6: stop looking at the blanket as a whole.

Step 7: keep crocheting. Ignore the fact that you can no longer easily lift the project. Stop taking pictures of your progress entirely. Keep the finished parts folded so you never really see it all at once.

Step 8: finish and gaze upon the titan you have created.

Geto as a House Husband

Genre: Fluff Pairing: House husband Geto x Reader AN: I love him. He's so damn pretty. Who should I write next?

Have you seen him? He is mother material. Born to cook forced to slay. Let's say in a different world, you whisk this beautiful man into the domestic bliss of marriage.

Massive cottage core vibes with this one. He is very taken by the idea of not being regarded as a killing machine. Immediately busies himself with the task of decorating your shared home.

Just take this man away. Elope to mountains and save him (hermit begs you).

Wedding planning is another demon. He debates every single decision. Asking you about your preference between white gardenias or white peonies. (You love him and he is too sweet for you to say out loud that you for the end of the world cannot distinguish the flowers)

He creates elaborate flowcharts to compare the pros and cons of different cake flavors, or insists on stress-testing the honeymoon resort's structural integrity with a cursed technique (much to the staff's bewilderment).

Let's not even get into Gojo's best man speech. No one really recovered from that.

DIY projects are his shit. Renovating a raggedy old dresser into a vintage masterpiece is where his magic lies. Let this man cook.

Your home with him is a a whimsical blend of vintage finds and hand-stitched throw pillows adorned with subtle wards against lingering curses. Even the strategically placed spider plants weren't just decorative – they doubled as a natural barrier against negative energy (a discovery that both surprised and amused you).

His transition into a normal 'monkey' life was endearingly awkward, like the time he spent hours meticulously decoupaging a floral pattern onto a chair, muttering about the inefficiency of glue compared to a simple binding spell.

And the day Suguru is introduced to the world of crocheting, your world flips on its axis. The pure look of joy on his face unravels the seams of your heart as he presents you with the mood changing octopus on your birthday.

Weekends with him are craft days. With a classic rom-com in the background as he sits next to you, his hands busy in the dance of needles and yarn. Better even your fingers run through his hair, braiding his hair only to wake up to your husband with perfect mermaid waves next day.

You both are the kind of sickly sweet couple that cause Shoko to gag in cringe during holiday gatherings.

Your husband glows with the simplicity of life. His hands busy themselves with crafts, chores, gardening, never a moment of rest even in the hull of domesticity.

He is your Disney princess that rushes out to refill the bird feeder with the first rays of Sun, hums pleasantly at the sight of a perfectly baked batch of cookies, or paints the most delightful sceneries on your ceilings.

Geto Suguru was made to create. He loves the fresh scent of sheets, experimenting with new flavors of tea, or going down the path of BookTok with Faerie romances much to your astonishment.

It isn't long before, you both end up adopting teeny tiny twins from the local orphanage. Suguru's darling girls he spends his life nurturing.

He took to fatherhood with the same surprising zeal he brought to everything else. His days were filled with braiding tiny pigtails, reading bedtime stories with dramatic voice inflections (complete with a surprisingly convincing rendition of a grumpy troll), and building elaborate pillow forts that rivaled any jujutsu barrier.

And on nights when dreams of a different reality kept him away, you held his hand in yours. Calling your girls for a family sleepover in the living room. That was all it took to whisk the sadness away from your beloved's eyes.

[call-me-lizbeth]

I’m very proud, and a little shy, to share my latest love project that I’ve invested weeks and weeks of my time in! This is a full mourning gown I sewed on my 1916 Singer treadle sewing machine and by hand. It was heavily inspired by the LA ghoulettes in Ghost’s Rite Here Rite Now from their LA Forum live performance. I like to think this dress looks like something that could definitely be seen within the ministry. I’ll explain the process below and the pieces that make up this incredible gown ensemble!

I made the corset first, which was made from an authentic 1903 Edwardian era corset pattern, and I used lightweight imitation feather-boning and a real metal busk piece, I’m tall, so I had to order a longer one just for me and alter the pattern a bit to adjust for my longer torso. The corset is black canvas with a skull crochet overlay! I was definitely looking to Papa IV’s costuming for inspiration there with the texture and subtle detail. It’s trimmed and lined with black lace. It reduces my waistline by a full 6 inches!

To go underneath the corset, I made an Edwardian era style ruffled chemise with black muslin cotton, layering the chest with more and more tiers of black lace and black ribbons, even the shoulders and neck are trimmed with lace.

Next I made a black petticoat using 5 yards of black cotton fabric, trimmed with black laces. After that, I made the outer skirt, which was also made of about 5 or 6 yards of fabric too, so it’s very heavy, but it has so much volume! I added a panel in the front of the skirt with a lace overlay with very subtle, tiny skulls!

I used the same skull lace in the dress’s 56 inch long sweeping black train, too! It honestly looks like it could be a black wedding dress, even though I was definitely designing this as a mourning gown. The French lace veil adds to that, and it also doubles as a shawl. It’s elaborate and elegant enough it obscures my face just enough to add mystery but won’t keep me from seeing to walk around. I’ve done a secondary headpiece that goes over the veil that features a small black skull, black jewels, and black ribbons and tulle.

Overall, this has been one of my biggest projects yet, and I’m a historical costuming seamstress. Even 1876 and 1880 style dress projects made out of corduroy did not consume as much time (and love) as this gown, so I’m very pleased with how it turned out! But I wanted to make sure I shared it with the Ghost community, where I’m sure it will be enjoyed! If I get enough feedback and likes, I will be sure to share future goth and Ghost inspired projects and creations!

Please DO NOT REPOST anywhere, please only reblog and give credit. Thank you so much, everyone! 🦇✨

Shadow the Hedgehog Scarf Pattern

Some people said they wanted the Sonic Speed Simulator character scarves in real life, so I made the Shadow Scarf!

I wrote up the pattern below the cut, so you can create your own!

This is a crochet pattern based on the Shadow Scarf model designed by Gamefam. You may use anything you make from this however you like, but please credit me if you redistribute the pattern. You may not sell the pattern. I will not stop you from selling items created from the pattern, but you should check Gamefam’s and Sega’s policies for fanworks first to avoid copyright infringement. You may modify this pattern, and share modified versions of it. You may not sell modified versions of this pattern.

Tools and materials:

Crochet hooks in sizes N, K, and G

Yarn needle

Super bulky (6) weight yarn in your main color (black if you’re making Shadow). It took almost an entire 160 yard skein. I used Lion Hometown in South Dakota Black.

Super bulky (6) weight yarn in your secondary color (red if you’re making Shadow). I used Lion Hometown in Tampa Spice.

Super bulky (6) weight yarn in white. I used Lion Hometown in New York White.

Medium/worsted (4) weight yarn in brown/tan. I used Lion Basic Stitch Anti Pilling in Cedarwood.

Stuffing

Abbreviations:

R - Round

Sk - skip

Ch - Chain

Slp - slip stitch

Hdc - Half-double crochet

Fhdc - Foundation half-double crochet

Blo - Back loop only

Sc - Single crochet

Inc - increase (single crochet)

Dec - decrease (single crochet)

Inv-dec - invisible decrease (single crochet)

Sc3tog - single crochet 3 together

[something] * 6 - repeat “something” 6 times

Alternate techniques:

The listed stitches are the ones I used. However, as some of them are a bit tricky, there are substitutions that can be made. Any invisible decrease may be replaced by a standard decrease. A magic ring may be replaced by chaining 4, slip stitching to the farthest chain from the hook, then chaining one (for height) and working stitches into the center of the chain-ring like you would a magic ring; note that this will leave a hole in the center of your circle, which you may want to cover with the tail while weaving in the ends. Also, the foundation half-double crochets may be replaced by adding a starting chain as follows:

Row 0: Ch 5 in red; change to black, ch 5; change to red, ch 5; change to black, ch 77 (75 + 2 for height), turn.

Then simply use regular half-double crochets instead of the foundation stitches, beginning in the third chain from the hook.

I have tried to make this easy to follow, but if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me, and I will do my best to answer them.

Add the upper red stripe with the large triangular portion in the center of the forehead and the side portion attached to the upper spike, stuffing the upper spike before closing it. Sew on the face (you may want to create the mouth before attaching the face if you dislike sewing through multiple layers).

Using red yarn, embroider on the red “eyeliner” using a backstitch. Use one line of backstitching along the top of the eyes and two lines of backstitching along the sides of the eyes, trying to cover the join between the white and black. Use black yarn and a satin stitch to create the nose and the pupils; you can also cut ovals out of felt and sew them on if you prefer. Backstitch with the black yarn to make the mouth.

Sew the tan parts of the ears to the black parts, then attach the ears to the head. Finally, attach the head to the black end of the scarf, stuffing the head before closing the gap completely.

About Last Night

TW: angst. Smut. Language. 

SUMMARY: JJ and you finally act on your feelings. But the morning after is unexpected…

WORD COUNT: 2600

*ORIGINAL CONCEPT*

It finally happened. 

After a decade of friendship, that title finally altered into something more. Those playful glances caught from across the room and flirtatious teasing came to a head at last night's fire. More specifically, when you stood alone in the hallway of the Chateau, his eyes feasting on you beneath the haze of Mary Jane and sexual frustration. 

He was softer than you thought he could even be. And yet the moment his fingers ascended your hips and into your hair as he dipped his tongue to coerce your own forward, he contrasted that kindness. The sudden need he kept behind former humor came through behind his grasp as you were taken closer into him. The unsteady pounding of his heart felt as he pinned you against the bedroom he'd claimed as his own as John B's longest friend. 

"You sure about this, princess?"

You used to detest the name, something about the way he spoke it with such condescending tones that made your eyes roll to the girls who would swoon. Only now, you understood why. He was breathless speaking it to you. However, your chapstick, a new favorite, he smiled with its iridescence caught in the sliver of moonlight finding his smirk through the darkness. 

You answered by leading him into the bedroom, his hands magnetized to your hips. You were made breathless by his weight keeping you set against the door, his thumbs teasing the skin exposed beneath your crocheted top. 

"I've wanted to get my hands on these hips for a while, sweetheart..." 

"Well...now you can..." You answered, more coquettish than usual as he smirked, admiring your adjusted confidence. 

"And I intend to...every goddamn inch..." Your top was removed, leaving only the bikini top to cover your heaving breasts. Yet he adored you for a moment, fingers tracing the valley now reserved for his touch. And still, his fingers continued down your stomach and to tease the button of your shorts that had teased him the moment he had you alone. 

"You know, I bought The cat's ass just as an excuse to see you in a suit more..." He leaned even closer to you, his middle finger teasing your lower lips as you gasped and tensed to the contact against your clit. 

"But now, I have even more of an excuse to keep you out of it..." He pulled the shorts down in an unsuspecting drop as his fingers untied the knot made prior to the believability of this interaction. 

"Trying to keep me out?" He teased as you shook your head, suddenly loathing the fact you double knotted them. 

"I can get-" He captured your hands away and moved slowly to his knees. 

"Not when I've been thinking of exactly this for too long..." He used his teeth at the core of the knot, his breath to your skin making your eye roll and your bottom lip a new prisoner between your teeth. The scoff made in viewing your reaction warranting a short whimper as the fabric loosened and failed against gravity. 

"And I expect for you to moan just like you do in my dreams..." He started slow, testing where you were most reactive to him. Slow laps made around your clit were enough to compress your eyes as stars formed from the tightness. When they opened, they took a moment to adjust, finding his eyes staring back up at you in observation. 

"You're so wet..." You nodded, struggling to understand how you could have denied yourself this pleasure until now. 

"And I fucking love that it's all for me..." His hand rode up to your stomach and to your remaining suit top, playing with the breast over the fabric. He fixates on your nipples over the fabric as you deepened your own sensations by pushing against his tongue. 

"JJ..." You moaned. 

"I've never loved my name as much as when you want to come saying it..." He broke for a moment to speak behind clenched teeth. When he returned, his tongue was faster and a  stationed finger now slowly made its way inside of you. Your body shuddered and relaxed as he made sloe pumps that rivaled that of his eager tongue. 

"Shit-" she lapped up your excess. Thorough and deep, calculated and talented, you marveled at his skilled mouth. 

His hand pulled at the center of your suit until your breasts came to view, his eyes now closed to savor you, but his hand was well aware of the way he manipulated your nipple. Every wave made of your hips into his face was enough to ensure this. 

"You wanna come on my face, princess?" You nodded before he offered a handful of seconds of pure bliss. Every ounce of strength behind his now swollen lips offered to you until his hands froze at your hips. 

"JJ-" You winced as he withdrew, labored breathing but heavy eyes as you dripped off of  his chin. 

"The first time you come for me will be on me. By me. For me." He guided you to the edge of the bed as he lowered to kiss you. And yet, there was one thing you wanted more. The sole ambition erect behind his trunks, an impressive growth to already incomparable anatomy. 

"You don't have to..." He issued as he divided your fallen hair from his line of sight. But as your fingers pulled the edges of his bottoms down past his knees, his chivalry faded. A hand now came to your hair, a makeshift ponytail left in his grasp. 

"I want to..." You validated, his shaft now in your hand. 

"Fuck..." He exhaled leisurely upon your lips taken around him. He appeared a mix of disgusted and in pain as your eyes rose to him. But with the approving exhale and growing smirk, you were aware it was misdiagnosed disbelief. 

"Oh shit..." He continued, his mouth parting and jaw closing in a clench. 

"Just like that...oh princess...fuck, that name isn't fitting for a mouth this-" he hesitated to the depth in which you took him. Your throat seemingly limitless as he allowed you to control the depth with hands to his thighs as he focused on his speed. 

He suddenly lowered to you, his bend forcing him to dislodge from your suction. The grip to your hair pulling you to share his proximity as he led you even closer. 

"You don't get to get out of this that easy...you don't get to swallow me...you get to drip with me-" You were tossed from the edge of the bed, only to be thrust back down onto him. His cock immediate in a fulfilment you'd never experienced before. 

"That 'lright?" He asked in a huff as you nodded. Nails eating into his muscles shoulders as he paced himself within you. 

"Fuck...you feel too damn good..." 

"Faster, JJ-"

"Nuhuh, I'm nowhere near done." He set your hands beside your head before kissing you hard. You struggled to breathe as is, and this made you dizzy. Your eyes opened as he broke from the kiss, only to watch his own mouth part in ecstasy. 

"You're gonna do it twice for me..." He led your own hand to your clit. 

"Once so you're dripping over my cock and I can fuck you as hard as I need to to come how I want without hurting you..." He set a steady hand to your cheek. 

"And one more time for me-" Before you could speak, he had you set against yourself in desire. The thought of self gratification in any other context absolutely repulsive, this only heightened your fire. 

"Faster, sweetheart."

"Ahh..."

"That's it...get yourself there with me...fuck, you're already clenching-"

"I'm close!" 

He smirked. "You think I don't know?" He scoffed. 

"Keep going-"

"I want you...to touch me..." He took over between your rubbings, making everything deeper and more satisfactory. Your thighs shook as he continued to thrust between them. 

"JJ!" 

"Let go..." Your body obeyed as a rush of pleasure arched your back beneath him. He fell over you immediately, his lips trained to your neck as he continued. 

"My turn..." He spoke at the second you settled from your high, overstimulation making you wince. 

"You're doing so good for me...Gonna make me come so hard..." 

"Please..."

His fingers fisted sharply into the sheets behind your head as you were taken close enough to him to hear every action and its reaction. His depth made you tremble and his speed made you crumble, a second orgasm approaching as he suddenly hooked to your breast.

"I want to hear more of those whimpers, princess...they sound even better when I'm inside of you..." You were shameless, uncaring if anyone from pogues to passerbys heard how he had you calling to God. 

"The things I wanna do to you might keep me outta heaven-"

"You don't belong in heaven...not when you feel like this..." You moaned as you moved against him. 

"Then sin with me....don't ever stop..." He asked in a messy kiss to your jaw as you nodded. Reality somehow exceeding any expectation as you pulled him to kiss you. 

"I'm gonna come..." He struggled to confess as you nodded, his damp forehead at rest to your shoulder as he kissed the silk skin of your chest before grazing it with his teeth. His interrupted breaths felt as he spilled inside of you. Warm ribbons staking a claim you only ever believed to be a fantasy. 

He was silent for a moment as you worried he had come to regret this. But as his eyes shifted to you, his hand at your thigh, he motioned you towards him. 

"What?"

"You only came once. I said twice..." 

"I don't know if I can..."

"That's only because nobody has ever made you more than once..." He moved into his elbows. 

"But that's only a starting point. Two will be the minimum-" Your lips parted to speak as he interrupted you. 

"Now come sit on my face and ride my tongue again princess, I'm not done tasting you..." You blushed. 

"Come-" He pulled you over his lap before hiking your hips higher. Your eyes rolled as his breath came to contact with you. 

"Sit down..."

"I'll crush you." He pulled your thighs wider. 

"Drown me, maybe...I can handle it.." he smacked your ass as you gasped before your clit was adored by his familiar sucking motions. Your eyes held tightly until his hand came to your cheek. 

"Look at me when you come this time, sweetheart. I wanna see every reaction..." You obeyed, mouth wide and eyes wider as he pulled that rush from you. Abundance forcing him to swallow in repetition as you blushed. 

"I'm sorry..." 

"Why?"

"It was a lot." 

"It's gonna be even more next time..." He snuggled you to him, your body wrapped in the bliss of the moment until your eyes came closed. 

Awaking that next morning, your body still wore the pleasant numbness of last night. Your fingers traced his back as he began to shuffle awake. The motions expected from greeting reality, even with hesitance suddenly stiffened. 

"JJ?" You asked as he was on his feet, boxers pulled to his hips. 

"I'm uh...gonna get some food..." He was evading your eyes but seemed lighthearted enough as you dressed and followed him out of the bedroom. The remaining Pogues have a silent look of commentary as you tried to wrap your arms around JJ as he stood with a bowl of cereal in his grasp. But upon the embrace, he slipped away, playing it off as indifference as he joined Pope on the couch.

And this was how it had been the remainder of the day. Small attempts were made to validate what happened the night before and he made some excuse to keep space between you. The tests made against him were a final wish to remain content, a whittled existence that became responsible for the tears in your eyes. 

"You okay?" John B asked as you moved past him from JJ's bedroom as Sarah caught your hand. 

"Hey, what is it?"

"A mistake..." Sarah gave John B a silent look of words only between them as he set off towards the docks where JJ was sitting and you remained with her. 

"What happened?"

"I thought it meant something.."

"You mean this blush isn't from a new makeup company?" She attempted to tease, quickly backtracking and diverting her methods of comfort in another way. 

"JJ is...indecisive and reckless. But the only thing of I'm more sure of that that is how much he cares about you "

"I thought so, too...I mean not really until last night, but...I'd hoped. And then I wake up with him and he...he can't stand that I touch him...after everything we..." You stopped yourself as you heard JJ argue with John B. 

"Don't be an idiot this time, J-"

But to the second he saw you upset, JJ's anger faded. 

"You aren't leaving until you fix this. It's about time you two stopped pretending you're just friends." John B and Sarah left you alone as JJ paced a moment before taking his cap into a bend between his palms. For a moment you recalled them pinning you flat. 

"Do you regret it?"

"Yeah..." His quick response made you turn away in worsened tears. 

"No...shit!" He was back on his feet after the short reprieve on the couch. 

"I regret that it changes things..."

"Then why did you do it? I know you weren't that high, JJ..."

"I wasn't at all..." Your eyes narrowed. "I thought if I...no...just forget it..."

"Please...tell me..." You sniffled. 

"I thought if you rejected me, I could blame it on that...because..." He took a moment before confessing. 

"I don't want to screw this up. I have a habit of doing that with everything and I dont-I won't do it with you-"

"Then don't..."

"But I will! It's all I'm good for!"

"JJ-"

"Even the way I fucked you last night...it should have been soft and sweet...I never should have let you blow me-" The rear door creaked as Pope cocked his jaw. 

"Teaches me to knock..." Pope collected his bag left behind earlier that morning and offering an apologetic look before leaving you alone again. 

"I liked it, JJ..." 

"You deserved soft and compassionate but I can't do that. Not with you. Not when all I've thought of since I first could was how you felt...how you tasted...hke you sounded when you...and now it's worse since I know."

"Why can't it be a good thing" 

"Because if I had it my way..." He moved back towards you, lowering over you. 

"I'd have kept you in that bed until you were dehydrated and too sore to walk. Get food. And do it all over again. Because it's all I've fucking wanted...and now-"

"Then do it..." Your brows flexed for a moment before he pulled you to your feet. 

"I'm gonna mess up..."

"As long as you make it up to me like you did last night..." He scoffed. 

"Princess, that was because I needed you. Apology sex is different." You took a step closer. 

"Show me..." You offered as he turned away for a second. 

"Show me everything, JJ..." 

"You sure, princess?"

Just like last night, you moved to lead him to the bedroom but he pulled you back. 

"This time...here..." He explained as he set you onto the couch. 

"Is two still the bare minimum?" You asked as he hovered over you. 

"With apology sex, it's until you forgive me..."

"I might never..." You taunted. 

"Works for me…"

[mossy-covered-bones]

I have been encouraged to elaborate

So the moss cardigan, which is the official name in my brain, is supposed to be an almost floor-length crocheted cardigan done in a wide range of mostly green yarn—the finished project is meant to look like moss, hence the name

Its been a few months in the works, bc i havent had a lot of time to crochet but also because uh. Procedure is complicated. Im not using a pattern of any kind, and im working with three different skeins at a time, as well as switching skeins out several times a row

I have ten different skeins that im using right now, and i think thats only about half of the colors i have picked out?

Heres what i have done of the back panel so far, folded in half so its easier to fit into frame

That patch of dead moss is. One of the softest things ive ever touched, i added that to the plan when my mom got some fluffy fingering yarn from someone at work and let me yoink some

Heres the tub im using to keep all the skeins from getting tangled up together, which was one of the things slowing me down when i first started + the buttons i yoinked from hobby lobby that im planning on using for this—i liked the engraved designs

I dont have the yarn for the lower half pulled out yet, but ive got a skein almost the exact color of minecraft mud that i am VERY excited to put on the bottom hem

I know ive mentioned the moss cardigan on here before hut have i ever like. Explained it?

I love cats meow meow meow

was extremely tempted to put twilight for least favorite. unfortunately he is my favorite to write from the perspective of (he has taken over most of my wips. help) and that probably counts for something. WILD on the other hand. hooo boy how the hell do i characterize this gargoyle. why is he Like That. least favorite it is

Twiddy

very good fandom to be in :) everybody is very nice

It's a straight up crime that Wars lost the aesthetics poll so quickly. He has such a peak Link design with the best colors. Ugh I'm getting wistful.

FROGS. FROGS. FROGS. ALSO HAPPY PRIDE MONTH. FROGS. FROGS. FROGS. FROGS. FROGS.

I will fight Hylia herself and the next person who implies Twi can't handle spice. If we're going to lean into him being southern/Midwestern, which is an alright stero type for our rancher, please keep in mind the culture you're basing him off. The south and midwest can handle their spice, I assure you. Have you ever had authentic Louisiana gumbo? It will melt you tongue off. Or some good old fashion spicy fried chicken? I promise the real stuff has quite a kick. (In all seriousness, though. It's more important that you're having fun. And even I can admit the idea of Twi being an Ordonian who can't handle his spice is more than a little funny.)

I am an OoT Link edgelord and have been since early 2017. So, in September of that year, when an artist by the name of jojo56830 puts out a lineup of nine different Links and the Hero of Time is there – the oldest, no eye, Hero’s Shade armor? I saw that one sketch and just thought “oh this is gonna be bad.” Yeah of course he has the coolest design. By the way, it’s only a matter of time until Fierce Deity shows up in the comic and I have reason to believe it could be this current Dawn arc. Dawn … Dawn of a New Day … and who brought about the Dawn of a New Day? Fierce Deity. Twilight is recovering but still injured and what will happen if he falls again? Fierce Deity is coming and we need to be prepared. In this essay I will—

Remember that time when someone put the whole script of the bee movie in here? I’m not that dedicated, and I don’t have that time, but let us remember and hope someone else does it again this time. Cause someone is bound too. We’re all crazy enough to do it. Alright, love you and stay hydrated pls!

Hi! I joined this fandom really recent but i’ve always seen LU stuff on pinterest and elsewhere. Only recently have i actually took the time to understand the fandom and get back into LOZ stuff and i adore the characters and story! The more and more fanart, fanfics, and comics i see about the different Links the more i love them all. It’s such a pain to pick just one i like or one i don’t like because they’re all so unique. I love this fandom and hope to get more involved!! Have a wonderful rest of your day :]

Epona is an underrated queen

your mom

I really don't get why Zelda is called Artemis. Athena makes more sense???? It perplexes me

Anyone seeing this should check out Breanna’s E!Wild AU

Something something queer every Link into oblivion!

478 couple finding out that they’re pregnant please!! 🥺

478: drabble

alternatively, it’s jungkook’s birthday and your gift is last-minute :)

[ 478 masterlist ] 

It’s your fault that you waited this long to pick out a present for Jungkook.

Work has been so hectic with your back-to-back promotions (the most recent one having you camp out for a game show) that Jungkook’s birthday had just kind of flitted at the edge of your mind, his presence always assuring you that you could turn off your brain whenever you’re with him.

When you’re with your husband, you don’t have to worry if you left the stove on or if you kept the water running. You don’t have to look both ways when you’re crossing the street and neither do you have to double-check if you put your car on park. As soon as you strip yourself from your work clothes, Jungkook takes over as the only functioning brain for you both — so much so, you forget that it’s already your husband’s birthday tomorrow.

“Ugh, your iPad must be so old already, huh?” you snicker, narrowing your eyes at the device that Jungkook’s mindlessly doodling on. He furrows his brows at that, chuckling at your expression that seems hellbent on gaslighting him into thinking that it really is old.

“You just got me this last month.”

“I did?” you sputter, eyes widening slightly until you remember that you did just gift it to him randomly. You recover from your surprise quickly, clearing your throat. “Ah, you must be on your iPad then because your desktop’s gotten slow now.”

Jungkook fully stops what he’s doing this time, a budding smirk growing on his face. He doesn’t know exactly what you’re playing at but he thinks it has something to do with him being an appreciative househusband (is that what you were getting at?), slipping his mind likewise that it’s literally his birthday tomorrow.

“Baby, you upgraded my setup for our anniversary, remember?”

“I knew that,” you purse your lips, the defensive scoff leaving you convincing him for now. God knows how shitty of an actress you could be when the cameras aren’t pointed on you and you’re facing Jungkook of all people, but with his brain doing the heavy lifting for the both of you at the moment, it hasn’t sunk in him yet that you’re looking for a specific answer — a specific gift.

You already have two cakes and atleast you’ve got that part covered for your husband’s birthday, your indecisiveness letting it peek through that you’re attempting to overcompensate for your forgetfulness. The first one was just the same exact ice cream cake that Jungkook asked for earlier and the second one’s a little more expensive and a little less over-the-counter; a little more of you trying to make up for the possibility that you can’t brainstorm of a gift within the day.

It’s only half an hour until midnight and yet even if you already called absent for work the next day, you still can’t be placated without holding something, anything to present Jungkook for his birthday.

“I don’t think I can hold out until 12,” Jungkook yawns, already tucking his face against your neck. He pretends to snore obnoxiously but he doesn’t even know if he was only kidding around at this point, the need to succumb to the covers overtaking him than meeting another year of his life on the dot.

“What are you so sleepy for?” you hum, combing your hand through his hair. He visibly shudders at your touch and you feel comforted enough just by giving Jungkook extra attention, momentarily releasing your stress from racking your brain alone.

“Crochet,” he mumbles, pressing one chaste kiss to your collarbone before rubbing his head against you. You’re practically cradling him in your arms at this point and he doesn’t mind one bit, even if you inch him closer and closer to his side of the bed to tuck him in. “Was crocheting hats for Miso all morning when you were gone.”

“She hates hats,” you snort, stroking his hair gently.

“She can suck it up. I’m literally allergic to her but she’s been with us for years,” he huffs, readjusting his position on the bed whilst cuddling up to you. “Besides, I made it for the three of us so we can wear it when we take pictures with the cake.”

You’ve never been more awed.

Your brain has been scrambled for the past week yet this is the surest it’s ever been when you think to yourself that Jungkook is unbelievably real and in your grasp, painstakingly endearing and lovable.

“You’re so-…” you clear your throat, the sudden wave of emotion catching you off-guard. You look down on Jungkook but he’s already passed out, the light snoring almost making you laugh if not for your sudden burst of motivation to go to the bathroom.

It’s a sudden urge in your brain that just appears, only willing to be quelled if you just opened the drawer and took out the box of pregnancy tests that remained untouched since your purchase last week.

It’s a sudden stillness in your heart that comes out when you don’t even hold your breath to look at the results, the word pregnant as clear as the two solid lines that stare back at you.

It’s a sudden purpose that builds in your entire being when you practically jump out of the shower and look for an empty jewelry case in your vanity, fingers shaky as you encase the positive test with resoluteness.

It’s midnight when you shake Jungkook awake so hard that he genuinely thinks there’s an earthquake, arms sleepily jolting to cover his head and nape. He blinks away the sleepiness until he settles on your face, a smile immediately gracing his visage.

“Another one?” he chuckles, taking the case from you. “You already gave me a bracelet two weeks ago.”

You have no words when you shake your head, the words that are just dying to be squealed out remaining on your throat. Your husband looks at you in mischief, eyebrows playfully furrowed until he opens up the case.

Jungkook doesn’t know how to react point-blank but he knows the incredible warmth that spreads around him, eyes immediately watering when he looks up at you.

“Happy birthday,” you whisper, bottom lip already trembling. “You’re gonna be a dad.”

Just a silly reminder that u do NOT have to throw out ur favorite pants when u wear a hole in the thighs. This took me about 15 minutes (if that, idk exactly how long it was) to fix and I can't feel it when I wear the pants, nor can you see it when I have them on. I'll also link a video (it doesn't have added captions but I watched it through with YouTube's auto-generated captions and they seemed nearly exactly correct. And even without them you could probably learn it just from the visuals) about how to do the stitch I used below the cut and do a brief explanation of my process:}

Backstitch tutorial:

https://youtu.be/sjHm8CL9WDA

Steps for mending:

1) Pin the patch to the inside of the hole-

I used safety pins because I find regular pins endlessly annoying. Since we'll be sewing from the front (you usually want to be looking at the side you want to be the neatest when you sew) you might find it helpful to hold your fabric up to the light and mark where the edges of the patch are, but I was able to figure out that sewing from end to end of the pins would keep me on the fabric.

2) Thread your needle-

I used crochet thread because that's what I had on hand. If you're using regular thread you might want to double it up so it's stronger. If you're mending something white or if you don't care whether the color matches, you can also use dental floss for something very strong. Here's a video on how to thread a needle (again with no official captions but good auto-generated ones)- https://youtu.be/S6u173Ap2mc If you want to use your thread as-is just tie a knot in the long end after threading. If you want it doubled up you can pull your needle to the center of the length of thread (so your tail and your working thread are equal lengths) and tie the two strands together to essentially create a big loop through the needle.

3) Backstitch around the edges of the patch (backstitch tutorial above) -

A backstitch isn't the only strong stitch you could use, but in my experience it's the easiest to learn and keep track of. You can also stitch across your patch in an X like I did, or in lines across it or on any other pattern you want. Your patch will be perfectly secure without these extra stitches, but I like to do them because they hold it flatter against the fabric.

4) Tie off your thread-

Video tutorial for this (same caption situation as the other videos) https://youtu.be/f3Hqv9n95R4

5) Done!!!-

That's it! Enjoy your newly repaired clothes and be free:}

Moth outfit pattern

Hello, here's the pattern for the moth outfit. This post includes the basic cape pattern, basic mask pattern, moth hair pattern, base tunic pattern and the moth shorts! If you make something using my patterns, i would love to see it! Simply send me an ask, or tag me in a post! Now, here's the pattern!

Basic cape pattern

(This pattern is used for every base cape in game)

Materials: Yarn in the color of the cape you want, white yarn (for the stars), a 2.5 mm crochet hook, scissors, and a needle.

-Chain 26, and double crochet in the third chain from the hook. Double crochet in every stitch (24)

-Chain 2, *1 increase, 3 dc, repeat from * (30)

-Chain 2, dc in every stitch. (30)

-Ch 2, *1 inc, 4 dc, repeat from * (36)

-Ch 2, dc in every stitch (36)

Now, i think you can see where this pattern is going. You will continue doing one row of increase, and one regular row for a total of 16 rows. When you're done, you should have 72 stitches.

-(row 17) Chain 2, dc 9, then do 5 more rows with 9 dc each. Chain one, and fasten off.

This forms one part of the cape. This is how we will achieve the "cuts" in the cape. After you've fastened off, attach your yarn again, in the 10th stitch of the 16th row, continuing that same pattern again.

You will make 6 of these, 3 on each side of the middle. In the middle you instead make one with 18 stitches instead of 9. Here is a little guide for you:

When you're done, you can take your needle and some white yarn, and sew/embroider star shapes on the back, like the ones in game. You can make your skykid have as many wing levels as you want, but i only made the base 5 for simplicity.

Now, for the last part of the cape, the thing that will keep the cape on the skykid. I simply made a long chain, sewed it into the first row of the cape, and tied it around the neck. As simple as that!

Now, onto our next pattern!

Basic mask pattern

Materials: Yarn in the colors of the mask, a 2.5mm crochet hook, scissors, and a needle.

-Make 6 single crochet into a magic circle. Tighten the circle.

-Ch 1, increase in every stitch around, sl st in first sc (12)

-Ch 1, *1 inc, 1 sc, rep from *, sl st in first sc (18)

-Ch 1, *1 inc, 2 sc, rep from *, sl st in first sc (24)

-Ch 1, *1 inc, 3 sc, rep from *, sl st in first sc (30)

-Ch 1, *1 inc, 4 sc, rep from *, sl st in first sc (36)

Now, Make 5 rows of regular single crochet, 36 stitches each. Chain one, and fasten off. This is the base pattern, simple as that! Now, you can sew details onto it, like eyes, patterns, etc to match the mask you're trying to make.

But now you say, how will i attach this to my skykid without having to sew it onto it, because i might want to make more masks, and change them! Well i'll tell you!

If you're like me, you don't like weaving in loose ends. It's boring and takes a lot of time. Well don't you worry cause you won't have to do that! (for some at least, don't leave all your ends loose please) If you haven't weaved it in yet, you should have a thread of yarn in the middle of the back of your mask. This thread is very important. To attach the mask, you'll have to take your crochet hook, put it through the head in some way, making it come out of the middle of the face. Grab the thread with your hook, and pull it through the face.

It's a tedious process, and probably not the most practical way to do this, but hey, it works! It keeps the mask on the face fairly well, unless you're making your skykid headbang with all the energy in their tiny body. If you need to, you can attach more threads to the mask to secure it even more.

Moth hair pattern

Materials: White yarn, blue yarn, brown yarn, a 2.5 mm crochet hook, scissors, a needle, and you might end up needing an iron, to flatten the hair.

The hair can be split up in 5 parts. we will make on at a time.

1- the base (will be used to keep the hair better stuck on your skykids head)

This is a very simple pattern, and actually identical to the mask pattern. So technically you can just go look at that again.

2- The hair strands

-Ch 56, and single crochet in the second chain from the hook. Do 20 single crochet in total. Slip stitch in the next stitch. And chain 21. Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and make 20 in total. Slip stitch in the next stich of the base chain.

You will continue the pattern of chaining 21, making 20 single crochet, and slip stitching into the next chain of the base chain, until you've reached the end of the chain, and you should have 35 strands of hair in total.

When you're done, you might need to iron the hair strands, to match the in game look. Here's a guide for the next step, since i'm bad at explaining

3- The hair tuft

-Ch 2, sc one into first chain

-Ch 1, sc 2 into the same stitch.

-Ch 1, 2 sc

-Ch 1, 1 decrease

-Ch 1, 1 sc, ch 1, fasten off.

Sew this onto the top of the hair piece, somewhere in the middle.

4- The braid

This pattern is similar to the hair strands pattern, the only difference being that instead of 35 strands, we will only make 3. This means making a chain of 24, single crocheting 20, and slip stitching in the next chain, and making two more, so that you have 3 strands in total.

We will not braid it yet, because we need to make the last part first.

5- The hair tie

First, work with your blue yarn.

-Ch 10, sl st in first chain to make a circle

-Do 3 rows of sc, 10 stitches each. Chain one, and fasten off.

Now, take your brown yarn, and surface crochet around the first row and third row. And that's it!

6- The secret part (assembly)

Take the braid you've made, braid it, and pull it through the hair tie. Then, sew the braid onto the base piece (under the hair strands) and then you're done with the hair!

You attach it in the same way you attach the mask. I'd recommend one "fastening thread" in the front of the hair, and one in the back at least. add more if you need to.

Base tunic

Materials: White-ish yarn, a 2.5mm crochet hook, scissors, a needle.

This tunic will be used for every base outfit in the game, with the actual pants being a separate piece.

The tunic will also be separate pieces that are put together in the end.

1- Main piece(s)

-Ch 25, single crochet in every stitch (24)

-Make 18 rows of single crochet in total, with 24 stitches each

-Make 4 rows where you decrease in the beginning and end of every row. On the end of the 4th row you should have 18 stitches (if i've done the math correct)

-Make 9 rows of regular single crochet, with 18 stitches each.

-Ch 1, 3 sc, 1 dec

-Ch 1, 1 dec, 2sc, ch 1, fasten off.

-Attach your yarn on the last fourth stitch of the 31st row

-Ch 1, 1 dec, 3 sc

-Ch 1, 2 sc, 1 dec, ch 1, fasten off.

@jegulus-microfic / march 14: choice / word count: 558

Stab it, strangle it, scoop out its gut, throw it off a cliff... it repeats over and over in his mind. 

Four chains, three double crochet, three chains, repeat four times...

The first few times Pandora tried to teach him how to crochet were a total failure. The wool got tangled, the stitches were either too loose or too tight and picking up the crochet hook was a problem on its own. But since he learned to crochet, Regulus takes his knitting wherever he goes. 

Today in particular, he has taken it upon himself to bring extra balls of wool, as he intends to be productive in the nearly three hours it will take him to travel by train from Liverpool to London to visit his estranged brother after nearly five years. And no, of course Regulus isn't nervous. That he's gripping his crochet needle tighter than necessary and knitting furiously has nothing to do with it. He doesn't even notice when the seat next to him is taken. 

One, two, three... nine double crochets, his hands move skilfully creating new rows.

He has been trying to finish this tote bag for an eternity and... What the hell is that?

There are no mistakes in knitting, only design variations, the voice of his best friend echoes in his head.

Well, clearly Regulus made a mistake several rows back that's making his granny square look more like a rectangle, and there is no way to make it look intentional. With a huff, he has no choice but to start pulling the wool to undo his failed progress.

"No!" an urgent voice protests from his right side, leaving him confused.

Regulus turns his head slowly, scowling and ready for a confrontation, which is quickly forgotten when a pair of warm, honey-brown eyes open wide and stare back at him. Regulus frowns even more deeply.

"I'm sorry! I swear I didn't mean to intrude, but it's just that you were doing something beautiful and you took it apart so fast I couldn't help myself and-" the man continues speaking hurriedly but Regulus is more focused on the way a lone curl of brown hair covers part of his forehead, and his hands itch eagerly to touch it to find out if it's as soft as it looks. 

"Yeah, never mind," is all the answer he gives before resuming his knitting slightly flushed.

Three chains, three double crochets-

"Where did you learn how to do that? I mean, crocheting. It's really cool, you got me hooked, you know what I mean?"

Regulus stares at him for a long moment refusing to let the ridiculous phrase have any effect on him. 

The right corner of his lips betrays him and rises against his will.

"My name is James. Oh, and I need your surname to know-" Regulus merely covers James' mouth with one hand and his own face with the other.

"We'll see about the last name. I'm Regulus, and please stop saying all those embarrassing things."

It's safe to say that Regulus invested his nearly three hour journey very well getting to know this now not-longer-stranger... but once again he didn't finish the bag. 

And well, big is their surprise when they find out that they are going to the same place to see the same person, but that's a different story.

In case you are wondering about the crocheting chant

i feel like as winter’s approaching, we need to discuss how the characters dress! 🤫

FOUND ITTTTTT OK

kitten leans fullf into her darker/metalhead style for sure. thing is she doesnt have a lot of clothes so she just repurposes her warm weather clothes. so def doubling up hosiery and with tghts AND socks, still wears her same boots, and she wears gloves to keep her body temp up. black coffee and cigarettes fiend and switches from ck one to the woodier darker ck be.

pup will always be the oddball of the cut i fear. vibrant colors for sure and she crocheted her own sweaters/scarfs. the sweater is def oversized not cropped though. wavers between skirts and pants she wears both. doubles up the jewelry and makeup in the winter with lots of jewel tones. sticks to lush sun as a solid perfume.

as the resident aquarius foxy loves winter bc she really likes celebrating her birthday. long sleeves and vests and jeans are her go to. adds a light scarf to wear inside bc she's kinda always cold. still very dweeb-esque like nothing about it is purposefully fashionable but shes consistent with her style so she still looks good. switches to hugo boss deep red which her mom gave her years ago.

bunny wants to wear her pink adidas jacket so fucking bad. spends a lot of time on vacation which she only likes bc she can ice skate. is preppy DOWN from ralph lauren to burberry to uggs not necessarily of her own volition but because shes compromising with rafe and fitting in. plus she cant use hee "its too hot" excuse to dress like a ghetto girl. but she still wears a puffer coat instead of something "classier" rafe lets her have that. oversprays love dont be shy in the cold.

bambi THRIVEEEEES in winter. wears a combo of her own clothes, her brothers clothes and barrys. layers them all and its super bulky on her but she tends to stay outside during winter so she really has to keep warm. her family camping/hunting trip is also in fall/winter so she's gearing up for that/ wears the bee gloves that lamb knitted for her.

lamb hates winter, but loves that she can finally wear pants. keeps things super simple, likes to be cozy and generally dresses like she just put on her warm clothes and walked out the door cause she spends most her days in bed sleeping and eating warm soups because she just cannot stay warm. breaks out her grandmothers pearl earrings for winter though. wears bambis hat that she gave her in 6th grade.
