i’m no fanartist, but i couldn’t help but get in on the dracula book club hype with a knitalong after finding Dracula’s Bride by Renee Linville on ravelry!!

my wonderful datemate gifted me a gorgeous gothic-lit-inspired skein pack for christmas last year, and this is the PERFECT project for it. after a lot of winding, a little math, and a few rounds of swatching to test-drive the needle size and gradient technique, we’re off to the races to the tune of our boy jonathan’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad business trip to transylvania - played to perfection by ben galpin in @re-dracula‘s audio drama production!!

i meant to post these earlier to properly track my progress, but i forgot XD

further updates to be posted as work progresses~!!

#dracula #dracula daily #re: dracula #knitblr #lace knitting #teatime fibers #dracula's bride shawl #I'M SO HYPE TO WORK ON THIS GUYS #[WAVES HANDS EXCITEDLY] I AM *CONTRIBUTING TO THE BOOK CLUB* #i was rubber duck debugging the project specs to my datemate and they were like '... so does this one have an intended recipient' #and i was like 'not yet!' #and they were like '............ can *i* have it?' #and i was like 'YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY HAVE IT YOU KNOW I LOVE MAKING STUFF FOR YOU' #'ALSO YOU BANKROLLED THE PROJECT ALREADY SO YOU DEFINITELY HAVE DIBS' #i love them so much for enabling my lace hobby #anyway this is definitely gonna be the most complicated lace project i've ever done #double-sided lace AND beading AND colorwork AND row by row strand changes to blend two sliiiiiightly incongruent hand-dyed skeins together

There is something deeply funny to me about the fact that, of people who pray the rosary (at least in the United States); the Catholics tend to be super conservative, and the Episcopalians/Anglicans tend to be gay.

#source: I am a lesbian Episcopalian and I pray the rosary #queer anglicans tend towards 'high church' in general #which....actually makes sense when you think about it #'can we make church FANCIER? yes we can!' #christianity #anglican #episcopal #I always wonder about the woman in that small town in Spain #who had the hand-knit rainbow cardigan #she didn't speak any English and my Spanish is awful #so I couldn't ask her if she was lgbt/an ally or if she just liked rainbows! #but she lead the rosary prayers in that small town's church and stamped my credencial #given that Spain is one of the better countries for lgbt people who knows??? #ANYWAY #this post brought to you bc Notre Dame (the college) had a drag queen perform on campus #and conservative students prayed the rosary outside the theater in protest #and I lol'ed bc y'all the rosary is not gonna remove the gay cooties #Our Blessed Mother loves her queer children

Was having some trouble with my newest doily, dropping stitches and just generally having a hard time knitting and couldn't figure out why. And then I realized I had nearly 250 stitches jammed onto a 8 inch cable (16 inches including needle tips).

I moved it onto my 14 inch cable but realized immediately it could fit on my 22 inch cable (and did a bit of math, the final row of this doily is going to be 640 stitches and that'll need my 22 inch cable minimum). So after a bit of musical cables, he's finally laying mostly flat.

This guy is a square doily so he won't lay fully flat until I get him off the needles but he's already looking cute as hell. And bigger than I thought. The pattern says he'll be about 10 inches by 10 inches but I'm about halfway through his rows and he's already over 8 inches wide.

(Pattern, making version A)

#project: doily 12 #knitting #knitblr #lace rot #wip #i did end up frogging the bag i randomly started just to get my 22 inch cable back #but tbh i probably wasn't gonna work on it again anyway. having one less project much worth some wasted work. #i'm gonna focus on this doily and the socks i just started primarily i think #i have been working slowly on blanket 10 but it's so warm and heavy that it makes me sleepy every time i work on it lmaoo #i'm excited to use it but i gotta not nap while making it

MY RAMEN BLANKIE 🍜🍜

context; everyone around me is getting into crocheting and I Want Also. i do not own a crochet hook. i do however, own knitting needles and a Very Yellow yarn to spare >>:)

tldr; made the first square, feedback team said it looked like ramen noodles, i am making a ramen noodles blankie now >:3c

this is the plan: (×more squares)

PLUS UM. i have a real cute border idea for when all the rest is ready but. i rly like it and i dont wamna say it bc bc um👉👈 if i pretend i dont care about it maybe i'll actually get to the point of making it.. 🤲 (its rly fun though trust)

and now. the journey so far

bit wobbly i'll admit BUT‼️‼️ isnt it ramen coded :^)

aaaaandd 👉👈 look at this

LOOK!!!!!! 🤲🤲 my most recent one vs. my first one

i connected two of em together to see if it'll work at all and it kinda did, here's more progress

and as of right now i have 8 squares done (WAHOO💪💪) and ive run out of the ✨️✨️yellow mystery yarn✨️ <- got it from a friend years ago, i have no info on it and i know Nothing abt yarn so. im now playing checkers in a world built for chess sigh.. 😔😔 being very brave though

here's where we're at now!!

the 8th square was still a ball of yarn then >:)

more yarn to arrive this week and then its beast mode babey!!!!!

((im thinking the blankie will need approx. 50 ish squares?? at least. if i want it to be a sensible size bUT!! maybe ill do a border reveal when im more squares in hm👁👁 who's to say))

bonus: heres how these little guys start out hehe

and unraveling the previous thing i had made >:))

#if it doesnt look like ramen to u do NOT tell me im 8 squares deep ok this is Happening #anyways lowkey thank god i don't have yarn knitting is so ridiculously addicting🗿🗿🗿🗿 #like have i gone to sleep at 2am on multiple business days last week and the previous one because i was knitting away? i can neither confir #m nor deny. all im gonna say #special thanks to goma for pushing me to publicize my ramen blankie hopefully this will make me more persistent 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #stray makes a ramen blankie #stray does fiber crafts #fiber crafts #knitting

learned the term "knitworthy" from the patreon comments . anyway. the polycule does NOT respect the fiber arts grind

#i was gonna add kenna saying a little 'some sacrifices are worth it miss petrichor' but ir an outta space #i think sol has like. the mabel pines cartoon ability to like knit a new sweater everydyay #and the autistic swagger to NOT pick up on any social cues. an absolte nightmare combination for the duck team #as a sol apologist + someone who hates gifts. i remain neutral on the issue #anyway . this was a cool down aketch bcus it was 4am i needed to force myself to quit drawing RIP. #its very hard drawing something in multiple sessions. i just wanna STAY UP TILL SUNRISE DRAW UNTIL I FUCK UP MY WHOLE DAY #i have so much homework. alas #its the new eps fault theres SO MUCH FODDER. MAN #posts by me dot com

Need more stories abt middle aged and old people finding love & patnerships. Tbh. Like obvs there is so much more to life and it's not important in the grand scheme of things and like most days I am thinking of bigger and better things but also I love romance and if I am not properly kissed at least once in my life like. What.

#the duality of fran #DONT LOOK AT ME I'M CRINGE #oh mitski we're really in it now #not really. we interrupt my exsitential rambles about the human soul (good) #to briefly pine and be selfish (bad) #i will return to the good shortly #i would just. be so good at love. at specifically that kind ofkf love and devotion #i am. so devoted. so all consuming in my heart. so loyal and intense and wonderful #yeah i have. a lot of problems and fears and insecurities. maybe so #and i crave touch the same way i fear it. like a kicked dog. my family is not affectionate #and YET #ugh disgusting. yknow that richard siken line. u know the one #anyway. back to things that matter. have to dig out my crochet hooks tonight #i swear im gonna get this mfing beanie done over the holidays #since i cant knit anymore bc rsi #i need to do SMTHN good #i cant just embroider even if its pretty #i need to create For Others #bread and roses. but lately ive been just roses #marry me. qpr me. smthn. idc just SMTHN #blegh. dont look at me

worst thing in the world when ur love language is gifts & ur favorite people don’t care abt receiving small presents & trinkets…i understand those cats that leave dead animals on doorsteps we r living the same lifestyle

#literally LOVE getting people presents esp my close friends bc i can make them so cute + personal #but my fucking. twin. is like the least materialistic person EVER like she never wants anything… #had the brilliant idea 2 make her a personalized advent calendar xmas gift like it’s gonna be SO cute #gonna get 12 little presents package them all nicely etc…but i just know she will not care that much 🥲 #whatever tho…it’ll be fun 4 me 2 make i already knitted her a big scarf that’ll probably be day 12… #might do it for my other sister or another friend too i just feel like this is such a good idea…. #can go 2 the thrift store & find cute trinkets…get little snacks…buy some fuzzy socks + little hand lotions etc…. #then wrapping paper from the thrift store & leftover ribbon from halloween costume. little handmade number cards…. #was already planning 2 knit them scarves anyway. scream this is the best present idea and none of them will fully appreciate it 😭😭😭

[ID: 3 photos of a strabby (a strawberry with four leaf "legs" and big googly eyes) plushie with a crochet body and leaves, felted eyes and embroidered seeds. It's a few inches tall and roughly palm-sized. End ID.]

Made myself a pet strabby for my desk :>

#wastepaper basket #knits #bugsnax #Its limbs are poseable!! Kinda it's a bit awkward but still #Was gonna make gramble's hat but I didn't have enough yarn for that so I made this instead & I'm glad I did tbh #little guy tag #Anyway I've been stuck in my room for 99% of my day for 6 days now and I'm starting to lose it a little bit I think

feeling :( but I know it's because my back is acting up again

#went for a very light run yesterday and it felt soooo fine and safe #but today i've been in so much pain and the run is the only thing i did different #dislike this immensely #also dislike the little voice that tells me this is my own fault because i first injured myself doing something i knew was risky #aka climbing and specifically doing dynamic stuff #<- this is so obviously BULLSHIT and i know that but i'm posting in an attempt to exorcise it #anyway i'm in bed feeling sorry for myself but i think i'm gonna relocate to the couch where i can knit and watch something soon #ALSO while i'm allowing myself a good whine it's bullshit that i slightly injured myself almost a year and a half ago #and my back is still all blegh fuck you #also sprained my ankle last may and am still feeling it #and those feel like a similar genre of injury so i guess my body just doesn't handle that kind of thing well #hello people who read tag rants #life of kit

week in the life of the cutest girl imaginable, most notably going on a very awkward date with her bf and knitting with grandma 

#ts4 #s #uhhhh this save needs a tag ill think of one later #anyways this is the first time ive seen the teach to knit animation im gonna combust its so cute #eileen is so grandma coded #all she does is knit cook and go to bed at 8pm #shes me #*eileen gen #*soju save

I AM considering picking up knitting purely to make myself a purple scarf for a Caleb cosplay, but also, I think at that point I become a farce of myself, so perhaps not.

#I think that's what we call maximum authenticity #for the record the only thing I DO really need to make for a caleb cosplay is the book harness but I don't wanna do that :( #I also to be clear do not want to knit. knitting seems irritating to me. but also imo I always like the feeling of knit better so #cursed to increasingly difficult hobbies 😔 #anyway I do think this would be VERY funny of me. I am probably not gonna do it cuz it took me like 27 years to manage to crochet but. #REALLY I should pick up sewing properly and make a dress for my wizard PC. it would take a decade but alas

hello. everyone avert your eyes as i go into overthinking mode. idk. something rlly fucks me up abt the way sol quietly and resigned goes "but this isnt really you" and "okay" (at like 38 min 45 seconds or somethign. and then when they attack him sol has the alert feat and cant be surprised. hes not surprised. is it even a betrayal if you knew this was the way it had to go down. sol sees two versions of swag in his challenge room and is already steeling himself for what he has to do. anyway. obviously this is very small and insignificant . BUT. idk. with these themes of hope & potential vs denial & refusal vs acceptance & resignation. man it fucks me up okay. sol started out being so naive and openly trusting. now sols just mad at the world.

#this isnt my most objective analysis ITS NOT GOOD I JUST HAVE FEELINGS. #AND ITS SAD TO ME #... IDK HOW TO FEEL ABOUT IT . (I DO ITS FUCKED UP) #idk. its like the #i have to get through this challenge to save swag #to save swag i have to. kill swag. #....... #hugh. okay. typing that down. um. shoot me in the head man #anyway. not to say sol is a grizzled hopeless wordweary guy or something #he still talks to a knitted serpent on his scarf and ultimately his entire goal is still like. fighting against the inevitable #he has to save swag hes . he cant accept it otherwise #I FUCKING HATE THE DOOMED NATURE OF HIS QUEST #THE PEOPLE HE CANT SAVE??? #DENIAL AND RESIGNATION HOPE AND ACCEPTANCE #not gonna be any clean interpretation until his arc is actly finished is the thing so #IM JUST HAVING FEELINGS #ramble tag

look call me nitpicky but i just think if you're trying to pitch a product to me your website should be readable before it's aesthetic like. if i'm getting aggressions after two minutes while simply trying to figure out what features you're offering you're. not exactly inspiring trust in your fancy writing program come on now

#*mine #mona rambles #'we're close-knit and lgbt and believe in writers' okay but what does your program DO that others don't already. jesus christ #anyway ignore me i just #gonna stay on my scrivener + word combination peace and love
