Mika Tee is all knit, ends woven in, and blocked!

Pattern: Mika Tee, size 3 // Yarn: Malabrigo Mola in Pocion // Needles: 2.25mm // GerTw c /o and JSS b/o // Difficulty: 2.5/5; need to know german short rows, picking up stitches, dropping stitches, and basic knit/purl stitching. Intermediate knitter would be comfortable making this.

The colorway has grown on me! I still may over-dye it black in the future. The finished piece came out a bit looser than intended, but I think it still fits well. Since this is a silk yarn, there isn't much stretch to it, so that may be for the best.

Modifications made to pattern:

Not many this time! I did more rapid increases for waist shaping, and that's about it. I realized about 20 rows into the body that the waist wasn't decreasing enough, so started doing a decrease every other row to decrease more rapidly. The way my body is shaped means that I have about a single size difference between my shoulders/bust and my waist, so this is par for the course for garment shaping for me. I also knit the sleeves a bit shorter.

melancholy night. My friends bailed on me when we were supposed to meet up for goth night, and me and my gf are long distance which like. Jesus Christ I love her to pieces but I can not recommend the experience 0/10 long distance sucks

Anyway. This fit was to cute to not show off to someone, so I’m showing it off to the void

being physically disabled at a young age is such a weird thing. i’ve got a level of perspective that most people don’t but my god is it hell to navigate the world as a young disabled person. for years i’ve been told that i’m too young to have a physical disability only for doctors to now think i have an autoimmune disease that is causing insane levels of pain across my body. i wasn’t lying about it and surprise it had nothing to do with my weight.

i use a cane to get around because i currently can’t afford anything that would be better suited and i get such weird looks. a doctor asked me if i really needed it and who told me i needed it— i don’t walk around with a cane for shits and giggles, i told myself i needed it because walking without support was becoming unbearable. in likelihood i probably am going to need a wheelchair at some point but ill cross that bridge when i get to it.

before i became estranged from my family i was constantly being met with their own internalised ableism. they’re both physically disabled but i was constantly told that i was over exaggerating or i was making it up because i was between the ages of 14-22 (im 22 currently) and god forbid i complain about my pain and my disability when they have it so much worse. it’s bullshit i am allowed to complain.

my uni was weird initially about me claiming i had a disability, mostly because i didn’t have a definitive diagnosis other than generalised chronic pain. but i continued to push and win for me, i got a ground floor flat so i no longer have to walk up three flights of stairs (because for some reason this building doesn’t have a lift???)

i guess i wanted to sort of write this all out because life is complex as a young physically disabled person (and i have mental disabilities on top of that lol) i’m proud of myself for getting where i am all things considered but i wish i had answers to what is really going on with my body, i wish people took me seriously and i wish i wasn’t relying on pain medication to get through my day.

sorry for the long post and i’m sure like no one is going to read through it all 😭 but i suppose i just wanted to write it out

Nothing will ever give me more whiplash than going to enter something in our memory journal and seeing that someone already wrote about what I was going to put in there. I can remember The Thing but not that someone already wrote about The Thing for me, eh

starcrossed gods has me fucked up because we know marolmar died so long ago that humans had barely evolved but the indescribables repeatedly reference thousands and even millions of years in the same way we say "hey i haven't seen you in almost a month". it's the most insignificant measure of time for them. what i mean to say is, how fucking recent is all of that for nikignik exactly and how hard am i about to be weeping about it

Hexagon cardigan is all finished!

Came out pretty cute ☺️ a little more green dominant than I had envisioned, but that’s fine.

Pattern is free handed // Yarn is hobbit Halloween cakes in the color mad scientist; the black is hobbit cotton kings. Not the most special yarn outside of the color, just feels like cotton. // Used a 4.5 mm hook- my prym set! I love those hooks ☺️

literally never ever ever going to be over marvus taking you to church during his bad end like it is so tender. i will take you when you're dying to the place that i hold holy in my heart. i recognize you for what you are and am willing to fight fate with you, giving everything i've got, even as i lie burning. when the world and our mortal forms are both falling apart around us i will help you keep your shape. like fuck man.

house of leaves is one of those books that i read offhand because my best friend suggested it and since then i’ve been entirely consumed by it and have created so many things from it. it’s inspired a self made, self produced podcast episode by me, various pieces of art and so much writing. this book is always going to be apart of me, im always going to love it and cherish it.

‘this is not for you’ except it is, it’s for me and my weird self and my own personal horrors. it’s for the friendship i share with my best friend and how we bonded over it after i decided to pick it up. its for me, and its for you exactly when you need it.
