i have made a big project decision...

i have COMPLETELY scrapped my old mood blanket. that one was the linen stitch squares in blues and greens.

the straw that broke the camels back was that i had to reorder one of the colors, and when it arrived it was a completely different shade and texture and looked like absolute garbage. so i decided, nope! i'm not spending the rest of the year working on a blanket i kind of hate!! i'll use those squares i had completed for scrap balls or maybe a small dog blanket :)

my new design: my own pattern, 7 row granny squares = 1 week each. im either going to do 7x7 for 49 squares/weeks and cut off the end of the year, or 7x8 for 56 squares/weeks and dip into january. i feel like i'll do 56 because i dont want to cut off my birthday at the end of the year, but i can wait to decide until the time comes!!

my palette idea was something using mainly knitpicks brava in colors i've really been enjoying lately. i wanted the orange and warm green to be the most prominent, and i also wanted to throw in red because i don't use it much and i wanted to use the knitpicks brava in "paprika" that i have.

and the results... WOW!!! so bold!! so bright!! i love how orange is the main color that pops out and blue is the accent, because in a typical palette of mine, blue would be the main (it's my favorite color). i am COMPLETELY head over heels for this blanket so far :"D it's so weird and odd and unique, i am IN LOVE!!

yarns used:

knitpicks brava in...

• paprika -> using for great days

• orange -> using for good days

• avocado -> using for neutral high days

• marina -> using for neutral days

• hunter -> using for neutral low days

• fig -> using for main/connecting color

impeccable by loops & threads in...

• clear blue -> using for bad days

• misty blue -> using for horrible days

i just had to take this WIP into the sun for some photos, it's so vibrant!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!! :]

I'm so confused. I somehow lost a week of my mood blanket. It has to be week 3 or 4 because I somehow counted week 3 twice. And I don't know where it is or where it could be. It doesn't make sense. I'm missing a square. And somehow the first row of squares doesn't even make sense??? What was I on when I made this??? I mean I need to reattach them anyways. But what do I do about the missing square?

february & march :)

my tension seems to not pair well with this pattern because if i end a row with sc, ch1, sl st, the color change side ends up super wide (i had to redo january bc of this) but when i changed it to sc, sl st, that row ends up a little too tight. i'm learning to accept it though, its my project and perfection is impossible :] plus once it's all put together it will probably be way less noticable!!

feb is my fav so far, just look at those color gradients in the middle :')

i didn't have the patience to straighten out the march square like i did the feb square for the pic btw so it looks extra wobbly lol

key:

warm green - great

dark green - good

aqua - neutral high

teal - neutral

dark blue - neutral low

medium blue - bad

light blue - horrible

I like the idea that Cross realised Killer was touchstarved (he didn't have the words for it but he noticed how much Killer would settle down from it) and started giving him very small basic affection. Pat on the back, hand on the shoulder, maybe a quick friendly hug, all things he probably learned through royal guard training and thinks of as normal friend/coworker stuff.

But as they both got more comfortable in the routine of it, Killer started instigating touches and he was not shy about it (like not just leaning into Cross's side during movie night, he looks like he's trying to get into Cross's jacket with him)

And that this more intense affection made Cross realise he might also be just a little bit touchstarved

It was meant to just be some simple sketch and yet.

Some kind of scratchy context is: they're out of their home locations, chasing up Big Drugs or Smugglers or something. Tim is refusing to rest because he needs to stay alert for anything that might happen since it's unknown territory, but the others force him into a motel and use Kon as a dead weight to make sure he sleeps for a few hours while the others keep watch outside. Or something.
