it's been an absolute shitball of a week, so here's something massively self-indulgent to make myself feel better.

Yesterday, I finished this cropped jumper. It needs blocking because the bottom edge keeps curling up (note to self: going down a needle size might prevent this in the future!)

I made this with various sockweight yarns, but with 2 strands together and using 6mm needles.

I may turn it into a cardigan by steeking up the front like I did with my snowflake jumper, but I will see how it fares as a jumper before I make a permanent change!

If HAL isn’t gonna release huggable plushies of Morpho Knight then I guess I’ll just have to make one myself.

This is probably one of the most complex things I’ve knitted in a long time, each part needing to be re-knitted multiple times to get the shapes just right. (For Morpho Knight, totally worth it.)

You can knit this too!! I've written a pattern that you can download for free off Ravelry, so you can make one yourself! Super excited to release this as it’s my first knitting pattern that I’ve published.

I feel like being in the Port Mafia was bad for Dazai in the same way that being in the bath house was a bad thing for No-Face in Spirited Away.

Like…that scene towards the end of the movie where Chihiro takes No-Face to see Zeniba, and No-Face calms down and starts spinning and knitting, entirely peaceful? And No-Face decides to stay with her because it’s a better environment for him, one which won’t encourage his worst tendencies? That’s kind of what the agency is for Dazai. Dazai tends to reflect the people around him just as much as No-Face does—which is why I think being around Fyodor 24/7 in the current arc has not been a good thing for him, mentally speaking. But in the agency Dazai is surrounded by kind people, and he changes and becomes a bit better, just like Oda thought he would.

EPIC THE KNITTING SAGA AU

An AU my friend and I fleshed out a bit while chatting, where Athena and Hermes become Telemachus' god parents (pun intended)

first of all, the AU is called that cause Athena, as a goddess of arts and crafts as well as arts of war would totally knit socks and/or sweaters for Telemachus. I literally do not care that it's probably always too warm in Ithaca, it DOES HAPPEN and he PUTS THEM ON or ELSE

also, she's his great great auntie (cause hermes is the great great grandpa) DUH

and she would try to teach him crafts too, like:

Athena: think, Telemachus, think! Telemachus: BUT I CAN'T DO THIS STITCH

and then there's crying and Athena has to deal with it even though she's emotionally constipated and had definitely taught Odysseus some unhealthy coping mechanisms in his youth (and now she's forced to realize that, maybe Penelope even elaborates on it for her)

meanwhile, Hermes HATES being called grandpa (but secretly learns to enjoy it sometimes)

he's the type who teaches Telemachus all the "wrong" (read: fun) things in life, like talking to girls, playing pranks, lying out of his ass to get out of trouble, etc.

and then BOTH get in trouble with Athena, while Penelope just shakes her head at all of them.

Hermes obviously runs off, leaving Telemachus to deal with the scolding alone

Telemachus: hears giggling from behind a tree Telemachus: GRANDPA, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LEFT ME THERE! ( -`д´- ) Hermes: Awwww, now, now, champ! Don't you remember the first thing I ever taught you? Come on, gimme lesson number one! Telemachus, sighing heavily: 'Every man for himself'

Hermes gives Telemachus lessons on what Not To Do. And he gives those lessons hands on.

Hermes: I subscribe to practical learning!（´∀`）ｂ

And that's their go-to excuse for when Athena finds them

Telemachus: Heeeeey, Athena? Theoretically— Athena, already popping a vein: What. Did. You. Do? ༽◺_◿༼ Hermes, from the bushes, with tears in his eyes (probably from laughing): He's going to the run, run Angel~

Edit: there's a second part now

kinda amazed that I made this

Later today, for a secret test knit, I will have to cast on 700 stitches in alternating cable cast on. Thoughts, prayers, and wellness checks are welcome.
