Close with drawstring method.

Wordy instruction form:

Chain 2

Make 8 single crochets into the first chain (For larger hackysack, make 9. For giant, make 10.)

Slip stitch to close

Chain 1, single crochet into the same stitch.

Single crochet twice into each stitch around. (VVV)

Slip stitch to close, chain 1, single crochet into the same stitch.

One single crochet in the next stitch, two into the one after that, then one, then two, all the way around (IVIVI)

Slip stitch to close, chain 1, single crochet into the same stitch.

Make five rows in a row of one single crochet into each stitch around. Add more rows to make the hackysack taller like a hotdog, or fewer to make it wider and flatter like a hamburger.

Slip stitch to close and chain 1 as normal, one single crochet into the next stitch, then single crochet two together OR skip a stitch for the next. Then one single crochet, repeating all the way around (IXIXI)

Slip stitch to close, chain 1. 

Single crochet two together all the way around, OR skip every other stitch. Slip stitch to close.

Fill now. Trying not to spill. A funnel is helpful.

Cut a medium length tail, fasten off yarn.

Use the hook to pull the tail through EITHER the top OR bottom loop of each stitch left, pulling the tail towards the center hole.

When you have reached the front again, gently but firmly pull the tail to cinch the opening shut. Then use your hook to make a slip stitch somewhere at the bottom end to secure.

Weave the tail through a few stitches if you want, or simply just the hook to pull it inside the ball and hide it.

Fill with Canna lily seeds for a heavier hackysack, maybe clean cabbage palm seeds for a lighter one. Can also be filled with cotton or polyfill to make a soft ball. Filling with beans not recommended.

Can be washed with cold water and soap, and dried in front of a fan.

You can attach little legs and ears to make cute little animal.

insomniaposting but have we considered: 1970s lestat seeking young daniel out to feel close to louis by proxy? to trace the scar on his neck? have we considered that louis’ order to armand to let the boy live includes actively fending off threats to his well-being? [taps microphone] is this thing on?

i think limbus company really captures the dynamic of being forced into constant, close contact with coworkers you can tolerate for the paycheck. except that one guy. that one guy you want to kill and smash with a rock.

Making another post with Steph's face.

...her energy has been my energy this week. Politely suggesting something delicious/something nice. Expecting the worst.

Manifesting here.

...cuz I'm waiting on that star baker feel. 😅

We peaked with "I'm 90% compartments" like can we go back 😭 why did they make him any other way. We did not need him to be anything other than a lame old man with 1 or 2 mildly intresting things going on and like 4-5 insanely uninresting things going on.

Feel free to download, first time trying to write a pattern. All of the hackysack patterns I found were overly complicated and take a long time, so I made my own.

Download PDF and text versions here from itch.io where you can leave a tip, or from the Internet Archive.

[ID: A photo of a crochet hackysack, with the pattern digitally hand-written next to it. Step 1 is to chain 3, then double crochet into the first chain 6-10 times to form circle. Slip stitch to close. An arrow points from this step to the top of the crochet ball, which is done with black yarn. A scribbled version of the circle this forms is next to the text.

The instructions continue with Pull tail to tighten. Chain 2. Double crochet into first stitch, twice into all others, slip stitch to close. An arrow points to the next stripe on the ball, in white, with another scribbled circle to show it.

chain 2, double crochet once into each stitch. Slip stitch to close, repeat for two more rows. Lines indicate the next three stripes on the ball: blue, red, and blue.

Chain 2. Double crochet into first stitch, double crochet two-together the rest of the way around. Slip stitch to close. An arrow points to the next white stripe.

Chain 2, double crochet into first stitch, double crochet two-together for the rest. Slip stitch to close. Cut a tail on the yarn, pull through loop.

Use hook or needle to pull tail through 1 loop of each stitch going towards the center. Pull to tighten. Slip knot. Hide tail. A small illustration next to these shows a curved five pointed star with double lines of gold and blue, and instrucks, pick top or bottom stitch.

End ID.]

Hibino Kafka: Everyone’s favourite hackysack

[pastadoughie]

tiktok trends are always about like. throwing neon colored saphora brand hackysacks at disabled people in wheelchairs to try and like jam the wheels and make them fall down steep inclines ans ramps & its like. can we pplease just go back to like making tear gas in your bathroom or something i think your inability to conceptualize other people as human beings and not props for internet clout makes you someone who shouldnt be participating in society for a while

Auras... fuck the press..

Another interview apparently, for some of the newer mutants in the school.

-a student

I’ll deal with it- *sigh*

Can I just say I think it's so funny that in Jack Manhattan's intro he effortlessly pulls the pin on a grenade, plays hackysack with it, and launches it at a tank.

Then in episode 3 Izzy is like "aww no fire arms I was wanting a grenade:(" and Brennan goes "you can have a grenade, that's not a firearm :)"

So he chucks the grenade at the group of people and then immediately regrets it, and decides he's going to run after the grenade to try to put the pin back, the only thing saving him being the giant behemoth crime boss of a man who is definitely not a rip on kingpin, being piloted by a teenage girl, volleyball spiking it and clutching it in his hand around the grenade while it explodes. And he's just fine bc action movie logic.

Nevermind the martial artist gymnastic group they're fighting that are all 30 born on the same day that only train at night.

Go watch never stop blowing up it's so fucking silly and unhinged.

So I made a post about Adaine being the principal after killing Arthur Aguefort in a duel. And if that happens I think it would be fun for the bad kids to join her as teachers so here's what I think they teach

Kristen- Cleric teacher obviously. I think she's the most powerful and best cleric in the world, or at the very least Elmville even if she stumbles a lot. I think her background as helioic/solesian, who created her own god and found then revived another gives her a very unique perspective for any young clerics out there. I also think as someone who worships a pantheon it would work like Yolanda giving up her path of following a single god to be more fair to the students she teaches, unlike Bobby Dawn. Kristen has made as many mistakes as you can as a cleric so she would be a very good person to teach kids who might have anxiety about their choices.

Fabian- Bard Teacher, dance and sword. Corsica is a young woman as the fighter teacher so there's no real reason to replace her when the bad kids come of age. Fabian also drifted away from fighter so hard to bard it's clear where his heart is even if he's still an amazing fighter. I think he would be the teacher that brags about being the future and present of dance, along with being the Oracool of Dance to his students. He also has made a lot of steps from his stumbles in his school days and assures his students it's okay to fail, it's okay to wallow but you do have to pick yourself up still. Seacaster manor is still used as a study hall for any students who need it and his is the teacher willing to help any and all students, no matter the class or grade

Gorgug- Barbarian teacher. While I think artificing has his heart more, I could see Gorgug as an amazing Barbarian teacher. His goal is to undo a lot of the toxic aspects of rage and being a barbarian that people like Porter tried to force upon the class and the students taking it. He teaches about the positives of rage, that while it's a strong weapon, it can be an amazing shield to protect people. He is also the main multiclass advisor, he never refuses an MCAT request, he does ask questions but to let students talk about their interests not to make thing think their ideas are stupid or pointless

Riz- Rogue teacher. I think Riz starts to work for the CoC (Council of Chosen) for a bit after graduation, but doesn't like it since it feels more like Narc shit than spy work like his dad did. He's more fair than Yolanda, he is on school grounds more so kids have a chance to find him instead of having to go to a town miles away to find Eugenia. He focuses on the practical application of being a rogue, stressing that it's more than just damage for sneak attack. Being a rogue is about team work to make sneak attack easier, knowing your terrain to making hiding easier and not to jump into lava when you're not fire resistant or immune, investigating things not just focus on killing people

Fig- Sorcery teacher. Obviously she wouldn't be the bard teacher. She didn't go to bard classes as a student, why would she go as a teacher, despite being one of the most famous musicians in Spire. At first it seems like she's just another Jace, you know just hanging with her students instead of really teaching because sorcery is innate. But she's actually very good with them, she actually has experience in knowing what it's like to get powers from your blood instead of hard work. she also encourages her students to try multiclassing since they have time at school, she doesn't want them wasting the time they have when their young. Hackysack is fun, but they should try things when they're young and can get easy A's so try other class.

Adaine- Before she became principal she takes over for Tiberia as the wizarding teacher. she is much kinder and sympathetic than the previous teacher. She also doesn't make her students buy their own spell components and she makes sure that they know that they can explore other disciplines. Everyone thinks she's the sweet gentle wizard teacher until one of her students get bullied and she throws the other kid off them, or a monster attacks the school and she just decks it in the face exploding it's skull from the force of the blow. I also think she recommends that her students get exercise more than any previous wizard teacher. Studying and reading is important, but spells aren't everything, sometimes a healthy lifestyle can save you more than just magic.

you mean to tell me that there wasn’t even a deck of cards that they could play with at jeremy’s house? just a tangled yoyo and a hackysack from a frat bro’s daydreams

[demigods-posts]

watching the TV show and documentary helped me put into perspective how young the kids are. like, the crew created a space on set designated to resemble a school so the walker, leah, and aryan could feel like kids while having to act out situations of godly proportions. and honestly, it reminded me of this scene in the books where the percy, annabeth, and grover play a game of hackysack in the middle of their quest. like, it was literally just them trying to do the same thing essentially, creating a space for themselves where they could be kids amid the chaos and expectations.
