yesterday at the game shop someone asked me when I started 3D printing. I told them a couple years ago, it was really easy to get into, sometimes I make things for commission, etc etc
then this person, this child, looked me square in the face and said "do you think it's too late for me to start? I'm almost 17..."
17
almost 17
ALMOST. SEVEN. TEEN.
when I tell you my soul left my body over this child, this mere not-even-17 year old, thinking they were already too old to start a new hobby, lemme tell you, I did not know how to respond
so i need yall to repeat after me
it is never too late to start a new hobby
it is never too late to start a new hobby!
it is never too late to start a new hobby!!
you wanna learn to crochet at 47? go off king! learn to paint at 69? nice! learn embroidery on your death bed?? it is literally never too late!! you don't even have to be good. it's absolutely wonderful to see people who are just ok or even bad at something doing that something unabashedly and at whatever age they happen to be

I will NEVER get over the fact that I can write stories. Like I can weave threads of whimsy in a whole new world and make people feel things if I weave them well enough???? Stories are worth so much!!! Lines of poetry are literally currency to me like I get to write little lines and then writing little lines helps me notice things when I read other peoples' lines????? Magic! Whimsy! Characters! Words! Words! Words!

Calling all chronic creatives - here's how to up your crochet game!
I'm an avid crocheter, but holding the hook for long periods of time became exhausting and painful. Being chronically ill, losing the ability to enjoy my hobbies was tough for me accept.
My husband took me to the craft store and we purchased a ergonomic crochet handle. This handle needed to fit my criteria;
able to hold a variety of hook sizes
hold up to high tension crochet projects (I do a lot of amigurumi crochet, which you need to complete with tight tension)
reduce my wrist/hand pain
reduce the amount of grip strength needed to hold the hook to avoid fatigue
This ergonomic crochet handle *seemed* to tick all these boxes. It was quite an expensive purchase and to be honest, I was disappointed in it in all aspects.
The purchased handle uses small rubber stoppers to hold the crochet hook in place, but as you are crocheting the hook works loose and spins around inside it. The handle itself was too small, making it painful to hold. I had to use a lot of grip strength to keep it in my hand, which is what I was trying to avoid by purchasing the darn thing. The little knobbly bit at the end really dug into my hand and hurt. It was so annoying to use and I gave up on it altogether after three days of using it (not to mention one of the rubber pieces broke apart within hours).
I expressed my disappointment to my husband, and he decided to come to my rescue! Over the course of a week, he designed me his own ergonomic crochet handle in a computer program called CAD. He then printed it out using his 3D printer. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this new handle - its a game changer!
Tumblr media
During the design process, he took into consideration all of my complaints about the disappointing handle and my criteria that I had listed. The handle he designed is bigger, so it uses less grip strength to hold it in place which also reduces my pain.
Instead of using rubber stoppers like the other handle, he designed a 'lock and key' system for keeping the crochet hooks in place and it works fabulously! The hook never moves and I'm really rough with my crochet hooks. It holds up to my high tension crochet projects and I have completed many amigurumi with it, even small, intricate items. Since it is designed with the lock and key system, my husband was easily able to print different keys to be able to hold multiple sizes. I've got keys ranging from 1.25mm all the way up to 6mm!
Tumblr media
I can now crochet for hours on end and I swear my crochet skills have gotten so much better.
After expressing my delight at the crochet handle my husband designed for me, both him and I want others to be able to experience the freedom that I now have when crocheting. With chronic illnesses, its important for you to be able to continue with your passions as much as possible, so we have decided to make this crochet handle a sellable physical item for others to enjoy.
Here's the link to purchase one if you would like to give it a go!
Each crochet handle will come with the hook sizes;
1.25mm
2mm
3mm
4mm
4.25mm
5mm
6mm
If you want other hook sizes, send us a message and we can design one.
The cost of the handle and keys covers the cost of the 3D printing material, we are not making a profit off of this because we want as many people suffering from chronic illness to be able to enjoy crocheting again. We are happy to post internationally as we are based in New Zealand, send us a message before purchasing so that I can get you the cost of shipping.
I hope you will love this crochet handle and hook set as much as I have!

Spiral Studio's Burning Godzilla Statue - Deluxe Edition
The weather in the DMV (DC, MD, and VA) swings like a pendulum. Bright and sunny one hour, and the next, we're hit with rain followed by more swings in weather. This was a pain to shoot as it started drizzling when we assembled him. We, and I say we because this isn't a one-person setup, tried the following evening again to get some shots in as the sun went down. I got some great photos with the light-up features on full display (hoping they all worked without issue) and with the help of a 100 ft extension cord. Eventually, I got all the images I needed. The pictures speak for themselves.
My only drawback with this release is that the largest of the two boxes was too tight of a fit for the styrofoam casing. No matter what, we could only remove the statue by cutting the box open, which never happens, but it did this time. I was disappointed, considering their Spiral King Ghidorah DX was packaged immaculately with zero issues removing and repackaging him afterward. I don't know if that was just an isolated incident with me or if this has happened to other collectors.
That aside, the Burning DX is beautiful and a highlight of 2023, collecting-wise. We're only in May, but this has taken the lead in my Kaiju Collectable of the Year.
Props to Awesome Collector and Kaiju Live for bringing this titan home!

4to2 Hot Shot Foosball Table Functional
This is a conversion from Sims 4 Game, low poly. It works like a Pinball Machine but I added an Invisible Pinball square that you can put on the other side of the Foosball Table and another sim will play with it. This square has also an invisible recolor. Found in Hobbies - Recreation. (the invisible pinball is in Electronics like the original one) Enjoy!

For this poll, textile crafts are including but not limited to knitting, sewing, embroidery, crochet, weaving, quilting, et cetera. I apologize if I have left out your favorite one, it is 4:30 AM. Please feel free to tell me about your favorite in the tags.
For this poll, "hobby" refers to a distinct activity in your own perception. A good rule for this is if you would consider it a distinct hobby in another person, it is its own, and if you would consider it only a part of another person's larger hobby, it would not be its own hobby.
I am running this poll because I am curious as to whether or not people consider textile artists to be widely versed in hobbies or narrowly versed in them. Please choose the answer closest to your beliefs, rather than the answer you think any demographic may wish to see. I am interested in the wider perception, and reblogging would be appreciated as I believe this poll will end up being shown mostly to those already fairly knowledgeable in textile arts due to the tags I will be using. Thank you.

No one: Why Kellyn, what’s your next knitting project?
Me: I’m so glad you asked. It’s actually inspired by this meme.

Someone’s getting a scarf and mittens for Christmas. We’ll see how long it takes my family to notice.
