I could not stop thinking about the socks of Machete, so adorable 😭✨️ it's giving Cinderella but make it cosy
.
#ah his socks! ;_;#he looks so proud of his socks#now I regret not drawing the cockroach thing in color because I keep thinking of him wearing#various thick and uncharacteristically colorful socks but only at home#he's still allergic to color otherwise but has just so many flashy socks#some of them hand knitted#your clean and steady lineart is so easy on the eyes#he looks terribly cute in your style#the floofy head and the teensy hands and teet#thank you! now I'll be thinking of this whenever I draw him and his socks#gift art#liliumelefen#own characters#Machete#Cinderella but make it cosy

#knitting#sock knitting#knitblr#hand knit socks#hand knitted#fiber arts#mine#these took me like… a year? more? because I kept putting them down for months#I want to sew in some elastic to the top bc they do not stay up on their own at all#sock glue works but I want them to have some grip of their own#they’re so soft and cozy though!!#I’m excited to wear them this fall/winter

#not art (yet!!!!)#preddy good kristen I got goin on in this piece#for some reason my brain isnt letting me do this one. been stalling on it for a good few days. but I intend to break thru it#I need to put this on paper at least once#(its space sweepers. I think it would be funny if the kids are in that universe too but theyre just like off to the side doing their own#thing pretty much unrelated to the main plot. theyre delivery people. theyre all still teens. they get up to shenanigans and then#one day they look up like huh the guy who founded eden fucking died?? when#kristen specifically I got a decent amount hashed out in my brain somehow. she's like an engineered messiah with a grafted engine#along her upper body skeleton that'd let her spontaneously rearrange objects on a molecular level#so she can theoretically knit wounds or cure diseases by thinking abt it very hard#sadly the engine of course takes enormous amount of energy to power. so most of the time in practice she just#has a half-metal skeleton that doesn't do anything. so she's buff as shit on the upper side and one of her punches can break your neck#but her mobility is limited and she sprains her ankles like every other week. her shins have broken like a few times#I genuinely love the way her shoes n braces look in this one its very fun#there are a lot of choices I made in this one that are so fun and also just like. a result of putting them in space sweepers#and thinking to myself here and there hey this would be cool if it harkens back to their canon designs#not riz tho other than being human he is fully exactly like how he looks in canon. hes just like that#hes the navigator and he charts their courses by hand with a school calculator#(also technically their legal counselor since he's sorta responsible for not putting them in traffic control's hands)#drawing this does make me realise a lot of these dynamics are really fun lol. idk if Im gonna ever do anything like proper for this but#at the very least if I draw this the idea will be out there)

I think ive got a good idea for my next warm knit--wool legwarmers that go up to the thigh. I'd only be wearing them in my wheelchair so I'm hoping them staying up wont be an issue. I was initially thinking long underwear but I think I could eliminate most of the need for washing by just ... not doing a crotch ? Also idk how to knit a crotch anyway, and it's my legs that get horribly cold. I have quite a lot of pink laceweight millspun wool that I think should be enough. Very excited to get started on it... basically will just be a long tube with increases so it should be easy enough.
#this post brought to you by me waiting outside the yarn store for it to open#didnt realize they dont open til noon on sundays and i left at like 10 lol#went to goodwill and a coffee shop to pass the time but i still ended up sitting outside waiting#gonna try and find some yarn for a hat for my favorite coworker#i dont think im making anything else for my other coworkers or if i do it will be very small#but my favorite coworker is extremely sweet and definitely merits a hat. also she used to knit before arthritis#so i think she will appreciate it. but im not sure she'd handwash wool so im buying something machine washable#or at least I want to#if i cant find anything i will knit her a wool hat#but id rather make one she will wear#i think i might knit little little snails for my other coworkers ? like tiny ones#maybe maybe not. a snowflake decoration would also not be too bad to crochet#i have too many coworkers and too bad of hands to make them all hats#i like them all a lot but. hand pain lol#anyway this long ramble is brought to you by Waiting For The Yarn Store To Open#knitting

I may not be able to carry the one ring, nor even the one ring bearer, but I could absolutely do second breakfast…and elevenses…and luncheon. And I’d do it in my hobbiton vest, made from romney spun entirely by me! I’m so excited to finally have a wearable of my own hand spun yarn!! This has been the goal for a long time now, and I’m excited to see what more I’ll make.
#I’ve come to discover a big drawback with long hair is it covers all the knitting in modeled pictures…thinking of whacking it off.#hobbiton vest#fabel knitwear#knitblr#knit vest#knitting#handspun yarn#Romney wool#the buttons are made from bone which so very cool to me for some reason. got them second hand.#edit: I forgot to say I modified this pattern. the original is in the round with a fake button band. I didn't realize that originally#my crafts

Tragic news: for the first time ever, wool moths have somehow infiltrated my yarn stash. Thankfully I caught it before losing too many skeins to damage, but they got the spindle stick holding one of my first in-hand spinning projects. 😢
#Lowkey grieving right now#my only solace is my two hand knit wool sweaters are safe#Just vinegar cleaned the inside of my storage drawer and put the save-able yarn in the chest freezer to kill any eggs#Fiber arts tragedy#Fiber arts#knitting#No idea how they got in#I have found no moth corpses or other signs of them#But they're the only thing i know of that would cause this kind of damage to wool#Time to make some lavender drawer sachets I guess

Maybe I did this to myself but it does irk me when people see me knitting and they ask who it’s for and I say it’s for me and the immediate reaction is “you should sell it” yeah… let me spend at least a week’s worth of my free time making an item I like, want, and would wear just to sell it on etsy, making at most a £2 profit on materials and not being compensated for my time whatsoever 👍🏻
#i say maybe i did this to myself because historically i have gifted most of the items i have knitted#because the venn diagram of things i like to knit vs things i like to wear is actually 2 circles that don’t touch#i looove making hats. i HATE wearing hats#also i love making baby clothes but i don’t have a baby and i’m not going to have a baby#however lately i’ve gotten really into knitting socks and i really like to wear knit socks. it’s like the most affordable way for me to get#quality wool socks. and i’m going to be watching my shows anyway. the time will pass anyways#but it feels like people are deliberately making me feel weird for wanting to make stuff for myself and not profit off my hobby#and like i’ve made 3 pairs of socks to gift already because ‘tis the season or whatever. and i’ve started another pair for a friend whose#birthday is in january#genuinely it’s very weird to hear ‘you should sell it’ or ‘oh i want one!!’ about an item i’m making for myself. after 18 years of gifting#or donating basically everything i’ve ever knitted. like i’ve gifted 2 double bed size crochet blankets#everyone i’ve known who’s had a baby has gotten a cardigan or a blanket or hats or all of the above#i spent october making poppies for the church. i’ve never even stepped foot in my village church mind you. my neighbour asked me to help#do you know what i own? that i’ve knitted? a pair of mittens and a pair of socks.#you want some socks from me? alright. that’s anywhere between £6 and £10 for the yarn and that’s optimistic#i’m currently making myself a pair with hand-dyed yarn that cost me £18 including delivery#the needles i use cost me more than £10. time… let’s call it 24 hours per sock#i don’t know anyone with 18 years experience who makes minimum wage so let’s call it an even 600 for my time. tbh#DO YOU SEE how this isn’t a viable side hussle??? i physically cannot charge what my socks are worth#if i like you and you’re willing to wait; socks are free or cost whatever the yarn costs#if i don’t like or know you venmo me £620. and you’re still going to have to wait.#just pisses me OFF when people suggest i make an etsy page and they say it like they’re doing me a favour or giving me great financial#advice. like you’ve seen me sitting here all evening and i’m barely done with the cuff.. do you actually think selling these for £20 maximum#is going to help me out. i’m not selling them. they’re FOR me. i’m making them because i want them#also when my friend’s family was saying this to me and i was like ‘well the yarn cost a fiver’ and they got quiet and i was thinking yeah…#a fiver is the maximum you cheapskates would pay isn’t it. a fiver is cheap sock yarn bought on sale. or yarn that probably isn’t actually#good for socks. like don’t presume to give me financial advice when you’re this out of touch with the market please#next person who asks when i’m going to start selling socks is getting this whole rant in entirety tbh i don’t care anymore#personal#edited to add that i didn’t even get into etsy fees or whether i would even be noticed among the mountain of dropshippers LOL

worst thing in the world when ur love language is gifts & ur favorite people don’t care abt receiving small presents & trinkets…i understand those cats that leave dead animals on doorsteps we r living the same lifestyle
#literally LOVE getting people presents esp my close friends bc i can make them so cute + personal#but my fucking. twin. is like the least materialistic person EVER like she never wants anything…#had the brilliant idea 2 make her a personalized advent calendar xmas gift like it’s gonna be SO cute#gonna get 12 little presents package them all nicely etc…but i just know she will not care that much 🥲#whatever tho…it’ll be fun 4 me 2 make i already knitted her a big scarf that’ll probably be day 12…#might do it for my other sister or another friend too i just feel like this is such a good idea….#can go 2 the thrift store & find cute trinkets…get little snacks…buy some fuzzy socks + little hand lotions etc….#then wrapping paper from the thrift store & leftover ribbon from halloween costume. little handmade number cards….#was already planning 2 knit them scarves anyway. scream this is the best present idea and none of them will fully appreciate it 😭😭😭

Hi! How was your day today? :)
I'm on call this weekend, plus my period started. I usually take a bunch of medicine to forcibly put myself into hibernation mode until it ends, but I can't bc *waves hands* I'm on call :\
#Anonymous#so long story short: i'm miserablé#but to find one positive thing to happen#i'm learning how to crochet#i've moved past knitting#knitting's fun but the long ass needles were not it for me#my tiny hands couldn't handle them. they were a burden#but also what else should i teach myself to do?#leave a comment or send me a message of some hobbies i need to teach myself#learning new things in my free time was one of my resolutions#alongside 1) be gayer and 2) drink more water#...guess which one i've chosen to ignore 👀😂

Last year I knit a teddy bear for my baby cousin for his first Christmas and he loves it so much his parents have (very kindly) asked for me to please make a second one Just In Case something happens to the first.
Which I've been putting off for a while. But the power of adhd, restlessness, and sleep deprivation combined got me here to today! The original bear took 70 grams of yarn, and the remaining 30 was almost perfect for knitting all the limbs/little bits. I have less than 5 grams left of that original skein which isn't even enough for a leg. Now I get to break into a brand new skein for the last fun parts of this bear (the knitting) before I get to the Evil (so. much. seaming. and face shaping. the face shaping is like four times as bad as the seaming.)
#knitting#knitblr#wip#for some reason this yarn REALLY hurts my hands#not even like. i have to work it a super tight gauge or anything. like i do but it's not more painful than expected#for some reason this yarn like. burns?? i'm having a dry skin problem rn and it's probably interacting poorly with it#also i have to use metal dpns for this and they set off my sensory issues with metal real bad#so like. i was Not looking forward to redoing this project. even if it was way more enjoyable than the alpaca.#but sleep deprivation really does defeat every enemy i have (and create like twelve new ones each minute)#today i have worked on. no joke. 7 different projects. i just keep jumping between them.#at least i'm being productive? somewhat?

I'm part of an Unknown Armies campaign run by my girlfriend, and it's driven me to strange madness. Today I made a conspiracy board for it. I've made memes. I'm painting a map of the setting. I started writing a novella loosely based off of my character, which feels like fanfiction. There's an NPC I'm in love with and her existence makes me want to create fan content. I've never created fan content before, for anything. I'm considering writing fanfic for Blorbo from my girlfriend's head, that's where we're at right now. What is going on
#we're like three sessions in#its just making me want to be so creative but only for that stuff#like my brain has been lightly puzzling out how to do a map from the setting but in knitting#because painting the mao hasnt been enough for me i want a fucking commemorative hand knit tapestry#and theres a character i love so much. shes a sweetie and autistic in my heart#ive never made fanart bcuz i cant draw. luckily another player is so good and does art of her#but my heart wabts to do fanart of her#i write. so ive considered trying fanfic writing for this specific thing#ive never written fanfic before. idek where to start. but the urge is in my heart becaue i love this character!!#i spent a whole fucking hour today going through my session notes and putting together a digital conspiracy board for this#(cuz its a mystery. im trying to figure out the mystery)#conspiracy board didnt help but i sure had fun making it#since i developed mental illness i haven't had a fraction of this creativity!! what is happening to me??#im not upset its just strange. it feels like my brain has been rinsed with cold water and did some stretches#the maintenance person in there had a moment of adhd motivation and deep cleaned it#i show my gf all of the things. like i send her the shitty memes i make mostly bcuz she inspires them#and i expressed my desire to make fan content which she approved. even though i havent those types of talent#i want to get back to painting the map tho ive been neglecting it#i have 10.000 words written for a novella that was inspired by one piece of backstory for my character that my gf thought of#idk this campaign just gives me the brain lightning

Me: Maybe I’m just exaggerating my hand pain, maybe I just experience normal soreness after using them that everyone experiences
Me, 10 minutes later: *sees a post confused on how people are still typing with only two fingers and is suddenly reminded that not everyone experiences immediate discomfort when spreading their hands on a keyboard followed by pain if they keep the position up for more than a minute* …huh
#when I get a new job I should. I should make a doctor’s appointment.#no fandom#everyone keeps recommending me those lotions with the#fuck what is it called#thc? in them#the weed stuff that’s not weed?#and I keep forgetting to buy it#I should get some I’m so behind on my knitting but god the thought of knitting rn kinda sucks#I want to so badly but fuck I think my hands are getting worse#could just be cause it’s cold today
