#I love wearing wool

[viciousewe]

Since y’all love my last big sleeve creation; how about this bad boy I finished last year and never posted???

(Pattern is Love Magick by Disco Stitch; yarn is Lion Brand Superwash Merino which was Hellish to use and I highly would not recommend!!! Why were there so many knots!!!! Like, 5-9 knots per ball. Fucked up.)

Winter 08: Dateless - Pt. 2 (61/64)

"I can see why you love it here," Malte said, staring out over The Valley.

Rachel nodded, "Yes, I adore this place. It's secluded enough, so not many people come here. And you can see the whole town from up here. I used to come here all the time, just to gather my thoughts or read a book in quiet. I mean, look at that view."

"It's lovely," Malte said without taking his eyes off Rachel. "I could look at it all day."

It took Rachel a while before noticing he was still looking at her. She giggled when she realised. Malte laughed, too.

"Are you not cold?" He then asked.

Rachel shook her head, "Nope, I'll tell you a secret; I'm wearing an entire layer of wool underneath these clothes that keeps me plenty warm."

finally took some nice pics of this tank top I knit! (ft a pair of shorts I made too) I made the pattern myself and I’m super proud of it 😊 (previous post here)

Yarn: Lion Brand linen cotton bamboo in cherry blossom (I LOVE the way this yarn feels against my skin, it’ll be so nice for summer. I actually bought a bunch more in other colors bc it was on clearance the other day, I hope it’s not gone forever.) (about 550 yds)

Pattern: I made this in the most obnoxious way possible because I wanted to use up as much yarn as I could and didn't know how long to make it. So I needed to knit the body top down. But I needed to knit the shoulders bottom up in order to get the shaping right on the neckline.

So I did a provisional cast on for the front and worked that flat up and over to the back. The plan was to keep working flat until the armhole and then connect with the front and work down. But I couldn't get the increases on the back to match the decreases on the front. So I had to do another provisional cast on and knit a second section (the back) flat from the armhole to where the first section ended and graft the two together. AND THEN pick up the provisional cast ons and join to work in the round until it was long enough. 10/10 would not recommend.

also I didn't have circulars in the right size so I made this on six to seven dpns (size 4)

The increases for my hips are KRL and KLL (lifted increases) so they're pretty invisible. The dropped stitch was a single stitch and there's a twisted stitch to each side of it. I didn't bother blocking this one although I guess I could have. I like the way the lace looks as is. I suppose it's not the most flattering length on me and the diagonal ribbing at the bottom flared out so much bc I forgot to decrease before it and then didn't want to redo it...

I haven't decided if I want to post the actual pattern notes / sell it because it was drafted for someone with a flat chest (bc I have a flat chest and it's for me lol) and it would involve redoing a lot of the math for different chest sizes.

The stupid crossover dream I had (with the younger and older Astrids) reminded me just how much I looooooove that Httyd's character color scheme doesn't have pink in it...ever. Astrid is just NEVER reduced to pink. Neither is Ruffnut. Nor Valka.

Httyd doesn't do the standard Marvel red = brazen, reckless character x blue = calm, level-headed character design either.

Httyd mostly contrasts green with light blue, dirty yellow, browns and everything in between. Red with black. Black with green. Brown with white. Turquoise with orange. So many naturally occuring colors being used to their maximum efficiency.

Sometimes I think all it takes to make a female character relatable is to give her a non-pink color scheme. Astrid is so normal. Being a badass warrior doesn't prevent her from choosing to wear a skirt - and yet it's never pink! The same goes even for other characters. Like, Hiccup is just a dude! He wears objectively "boring" clothes - as the main character AND the Chief's son!

It's fun because on a scale of who has the most impressive outfit, you'd never pick Stoick yet here we are. The man wears chainmail and a knee-long robe with striped pantaloons. Fashion icon.

Yeah Idk I just wanted to get this out there.

You know what's pink in Httyd? You know what's actually pink?????

THE SKY.

I was looking at ur autistic Richie hcs and had a vision so. like. hippie autistic richie where he's also vegan. sure the environmental benefits of veganism are great but he originally stopped eating meat bc the texture of raw chicken breast was SO BAD and he never wanted to touch it again

YAAAA i love this. no like when u bite into a chicken nugget and there’s a hard part?? fuck that he’s out. eggs? eggs in every form? terrible texture and taste. he manages to be so adventurous and so picky sensory wise at the same time.

A concept I have dubbed the Friendship Bracelet Chronicles:

One day Solomon gives Ik a bunch of his old human-world things that he has no need for anymore. Mixed up in that collection is a box of some very pretty colorful thread. It'd be a shame to let that all go to waste, so Ik has an idea. She's gonna make friendship bracelets!

The bracelets are made and distributed to resounding success. Mammon cries. Belphie will kill you if you spill something on his. Diavolo won't take it off even for Very Important Announcements. Simeon wears his on top of his gloves even though it's a horrible fashion statement because he loves it with all his heart.

Ik thinks that's the end of it. Boy is she wrong.

One day Satan gives her a friendship bracelet of his own. He's made it with the same color Ik used for his bracelet along with little cat-shaped beads. Cute! Ik wears it proudly.

Then Levi notices and by the next day, he's made one with a goldfish charm. Then there's one from Mammon. Then Asmo. Then Beel. Then Belphie. And for a while that's it. Until one day at the breakfast, Lucifer walks in, and presents Ik with the most fancily woven bracelet so far. It's got little music notes embroidered into it. How the FUCK

It only escalates from there. The other exchanges won't ket their best friend status be encroached on and oh you know Diavolo has to get in on this! By the end of it Ik is wielding twelve bracelets, seven on one wrist and five on the other, and the others keep bickering about whose bracelet is higher in the pecking order

Imagine the added chaos if the newspaper club and season 4 trio got in on this....

this whole thing is so cute oml

om mephistopheles meets ik and when she shakes his hand he looks down and sees diavolo's friendship bracelet practically GLOWING up at him and he's just floored by the sight of it. meanwhile raphael thinks that the many bracelets are like, combat cuffs, and is extremely on-guard until simeon explains things to him

thirteen would be the first of the new trio to make ik a bracelet after becoming friends! it's pink-purple with little skulls and butterflies and bells that make it jingle. then raphael comes along with a pretty laurel pattern (painstakingly embroidered, because he's so good at that kind of thing). eventually, not to be outdone, mephistopheles produces a very elaborate silver thread one that looks like a dragon wrapping around your wrist

ik has to continuously rotate the order she wears her bracelets in because otherwise the others start play-bickering (and then real-bickering) about which one's the favourite

what if this year i gave up on even gesturing at ""passing"" and instead embraced the world of weird unisex natural-fiber garments available on etsy 🤔

I'm so glad I learned how to knit because otherwise I would not know about heel-flap socks, and I love how much deeper I'm able to make the heels with this method.

re-reading one of my favorite fics & they describe the character as wearing ‘a brown thermal under a dark green shirt [then].... slipping into his sweatshirt and jacket’ which is literally four layers of warm clothing i’m kinda obsessed

i was in sub zero temps back in december and january was spent in england, which was wet & in the 20s & i don’t think i wore that much clothing at any point during any of that
