I think I'm going to make a temperature blanket this year

#generally people would plan for this earlier. but. I only JUST thought of it last night #I'm considering like a mood blanket / mental health blanket or whatev instead. one of those alternate concepts #but I FEEL LIKE categorizing my mood / mental health day by day would do something to me #and I don't really want to tell on myself that hard. showing off the finished blanket and ppl going oohh... there's a lot of this color! #what mood are these two colors for! #and i'm gonna have to crumple up my color key chart and eat it before they can find out #idk maybe I'll still try that way. but temperature just feels more like. yeaahahhhhh go with the flow buddy #I bought a ton of yarn recently bc there was a black friday sale and I was grabbin skeins for $2 so I shouldn't really need to do shopping #maybe pick up another color or two. but I can probably just bust out my own stash I already have #sergle.txt #crochetposting

crochet project update

mushroom (bag) base 👍

materials:

*caron simply soft (soft pink)

*vinyl coated galvanized steel wire

wire cutters

heat shrink tube

*heat gun

*fiberfill

4.00mm crochet hook

yarn needle

*weighted pellets

*disposable nylon sock (for the pellets)

stitch markers

scissors

time

*actually in the mushroom

my goals with this more complex design are to give the mushroom base more support and a stable loop shape so it doesn't have as much a tendency to collapse, at least horizontally...

i didn't do a test run so we're gonna have to see if it works out in the end.

HDC stitches for my sanity. i initially started with just SC and it was taking WAY too long.

#new post #crochetposting #i wasn't planning on finishing this this weekend but we'll have to see! #it depends on what I'm capable of I suppose lol #no plans to put a lining in because i don't think i could hand sew that but . it would give it more longevity

whaaaaat do we think

#crochetposting #he was gonna be an amigurumi but his body was looking......rough to say the least #so now he's just a head pillow

I don't think I've ever shared the final results here 🤔 but if anyone remembers me working on some handmade gifts back in july/august, here's two of them! A little Lan Zhan and an equally tiny Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra's jacket gave me a lot of trouble and I'm not super satisfied with it, but the Lan Zhan doll is probably one of my fave designs so far. I'm thinking of doing a tiny Reo with these proportions at some point. Tho I'll see if I can have him sitting instead 🤔

#Lan zhan was fun because I got to experiment a new way of doing the front bangs #I hadn't worked on that type of hairline since nagant and I think my technique improved a lot #Tho you can't really see it bc black yarn doesn't sbow up well on camera #As for ulquiorra the hair itself was hell but I loved doing the skull helmet thingy #Very fun shape. Lots of thinking involved #I wish I had better pictures but silly me forgot to take good ones before doing the wrappings #The first one is actually a photo my friend took. That's why there's mdzs merch in the background djjdjwbdiw #Anyway sorry for the random crochetposting #I have crochet withdrawals cause I haven't been working on much these days #And my current project is on hold until I can get supplies... Sigh #Thyandra's crocheting adventures

i need someone to poke me into crochetposting more. it's like most of what i do at this point. i have two separate cardigans in the works at the moment. i made a snowflake decoration the other day. i just put together two seperate yarn wishlists for a lace shirt. i have opinions on types of yarn now. ask me my opinions on types of yarn

[pathologising]

I cant rn but your crochetposting is so awesome and part of why im getting back into embroidery. And you will be the first to know when I get there <3

I LOVE U im glad uve picked up embroidery!!!!! that's on my list of fiber arts to pick up next to sewing

#i found a singer sewing machine at goodwill a few weeks back i kindof wish i took her #but she was way too big you know

[sergle]

alright okay, so this is basically the tentative temp gauge we're going with rn, for the temperature blanket! there's always the chance that I'll tweak it over the course of the year, but this is the basic idea. also the shade names on there are just for my own memory

#I'll only be mapping the HIGH temps of each day btw. hence why my coldest range is 19 and below #sergle.txt #crochetposting #I feel like I gave myself a nice wide range to work with #I'm probably going to use the linen stitch for the blanket but again. I reserve the right to change my mind #OR to die before the blanket's done

woo I've got 3 of 4 crochet projects done! I'm taking a quick break before i return to the final one, but here's what I've been working on for the past month!

brief explanation: a friend of mine talked me into putting together some crochet stuff for the fiber arts part of my local fair! all submissions are due may 26th (including photography and art, which I'm going to figure out after I'm done with my crochet work) so I've been scrambling ever since finishing up with my dcrb stuff

the first of the projects is an elephant themed handbag. it's technically a bit of a collab with a friend of mine who came up with the initial idea and is going to be dealing with the interfacing and the lining, so I'm going to have to sort out how to represent that in the submission but

here's what it will look like, minus the ears, tail, and feet. i photographed it before sending it off to her! i also made a trial bag ahead of time

i also made this to trial run my design ideas. it's got some major flaws though i do actually like the head shape more lol even though I spent a LOT of time trying to make the final one work properly.

project 2 is these parols! if you're unfamiliar, an actual parole is a star-shaped paper lantern made in the philippines as a christmas decoration. now i can't make paper lanterns but i can make these, which i did, based off of a design i worked out last Christmas to make some as a gift for my mom. most of these were made using lily sugar and cream yarn which was a Huge Mistake lol.

project 3, which i actually finished a while ago before finishing up the parols are these...things. it's a bit tricky to explain but basically i made these both for fun and as an experiment to test out the capabilities and limitations of chatgpt. if you're somewhat familiar with me, you'll know I'm a programmer by career. which means i have to keep abreast of technological developments NOT because i need them for my job, but because i WILL get pestered by other people who think i know the answer (a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy, that). plus, machine learning is a bit fun cause it's a) it's fun to see it flop and flail around cause it doesn't actually know shit and b) it's a fascinating reflection of the world we've created and the failures and limitations of the structures we create to define and control it.

which is to say that i asked it for various patterns with varying levels of specificity and oversight and crocheted what it gave me with varying levels of "forgiveness" (damn thing doesn't even tell me where to sew or attach things most of the time). IF my submission is accepted, I'm hoping they'll let me submit some explanations to go with lol. and also after finishing the last pattern, which i generated maybe 2 weeks ago, I've finished off the project in solidarity with WGA and the newly unionized "AI" content moderators.

(the most powerful tool i think i have personally is my ability to explain why chatgpt and it's siblings are so limited in their ability and why people ought to be careful implementing them in any meaningful way)

so now that I've adequately proved that i am not a tech bro, actually. observe: my children

the absolutely comical moray eel

i requested a separate jaw piece and that it be long and thin. it gave me this in the silliest way possible.

yes the fins are all wrong and the body is weirdly twisted. i don't know why it gave me a trapezoidal panel. it didn't even tell me to make a tube out of it or how but idk what else i couldve possibly done. anyway, i love him

next, a small collection of flowers.

one looks like a sunny side up egg but pink. chat gpt claimed the one on the left was specifically supposed to be a rose, which is genuinely funny. it's a flower doily, at best, and not even a good one at that.

poppy, orange

im actually quite impressed by these, especially the poppy petals and the leaf of the orange (though the orange is rather flat... i squished it in a bit for the sake of the picture. also check out that stem. wild.)

mystery patterns 1 and 2

these were supposed to resemble actual things, when i was done with them. they do not.

my beloved pill quail

the pattern actually had the dots misaligned because it miscounted the number of stitches in the round, making the instructions mathematically impossible. for the sake of not accidentally creating a physical impossibility and plunging the world into a spontaneously generated black hole, i decided to fix it instead. though that didn't stop my poor quail from literally being capsule shaped, having coffin shaped wings, and the largest quail beak ever. i actually was very specific about this pattern and had to ask it for modifications and answer regenerations a lot (if you do this, you'll find that the average crochet pattern it makes is JUST outside the bounds of it's character limit), so the fact it turned out so funny looking will never not be hilarious to me

mushrooms

for the first, it actually just gave me a panel for the stem, but not cylindrifying it made no sense. for the second it literally just gave me two balls but the nature of crochet balls is you can kinda squish them into shapes.

the "flower basket"

i asked it for an idea to put into the fair, it gave me the flower basket—a small, deflated ball. 10/10. the biggest failure, which is why I love it so

the water lily

it did not adequately tell me how to put the petals onto the circular back panel (which it called the flower). I'd say what i did is probably what it was going for, but it's literally incapable of going for anything. that's not how text predictive models work. and fun fact! no water lily patterns on the internet look like this

self-representation

if chatgpt looked like a little crochet guy, it would look like this, according to it. (once you get past it insisting that if has no visible/physical form) apologies for the very mediocre glasses—i did not get into this hobby to embroider. i am very specifically not good at that. also it's feet were literally too big to have it NOT be sitting. and i did ask for the size safety eyes i should use, which is why they're so small lmfao

and finally:

Ert the hedgehog. it told me i COULD add spikes by using a crochet hook to add yarn at the top of its head. it did not tell me how. so i did that...for at LEAST as much time as it took to make the rest of it. Ert is my newest scapegoat whenever i have a problem. also i forgot to style his spikes for this photo lmaoo

bonus:

#new post #crochetposting #i think i shall put any crochet related projects in that tag now #ok I'm gonna zone out for a bit and then get back to project 4 #i was at work nearly 12 hours yesterday so I'd like a bit of a break lol
