#embroidery!

[fiberandfancysticks]

Oh, right, I have a blog for sharing pretty things I make!

Blackwork embroidery is FUN! :D I've been working on this on and off since around thanksgiving -- because I was looking for THE TINIEST knitting needles, I ended up diving into counted-thread embroidery of various types.

(the squares are from three different sampler patterns by loose thread stitchery on etsy -- their patterns are LOVELY and I highly recommend them, if you want to try this!!!)

#things I made! #things I'm still working on #embroidery! #Blackwork embroidery! #I'm going to fill the entire piece of fabric I think; so it should be at least 5x7 #I decided to try blackwork with a 3x3 square #And just kept going! #It's REALLY FUN and also REALLY LOVELY!

Fuck it, lemme talk about HOTD.

Okay, so I never actually watched Game of Thrones, for two main reasons. The first is that I actually really liked a Song of Ice and Fire, and between the casting and the choice to age up all the characters, (plus the ugly costuming) I was never like, super excited about it to begin with. I found the writing dull, the acting duller, and as I said, the casting baffling. I think I watched a grand total of maybe 3? episodes before I was out, and never had a desire to watch more. I'm not about watching adaptations of things that utterly change the entire meaning/point of a novel.

When the first pic of HOTD came out I was like "oof." I hadn't read Fire and Blood, but idk. It didn't have "it" for me.

And then the first trailer came out and like, fuck. This was all I wanted. Surcoats and heraldry and coats of arms and helmets with plumes and actual plate mail and jousts and spectacle and gowns and lace and satin and silk and brocade and richness and color and LIFE. This, THIS was what I had thought an adaptation of a story set in Westeros would be. THIS was the beauty I had looked for and lost in an era of grimdark sci-fiesque GOT.

So I was excited. I was thrilled. If it was stupid but pretty that would be enough. Stupid but pretty was good enough for the Witcher (at least season 1, season 2 was just a lil too stupid), and as a person who has been in love with medieval pageantry since I was a child, who grew up devouring King Arthur and tales of knights and kings and lords and tourneys, this was everything I have ever wanted and more. The attention to detail, the cut/line of the clothing, have I mentioned the surcoats???? The tunics????? The COLOR????

And then, to my utter an complete shock, it was good. Like, really actually very good. The writing was tight, consistent and the acting was SUPERB. Like, literally can't look away from the screen, utterly captivated, grinning from ear to ear happy. When that joust happened---istg my soul departed my body I swear. I mean, they had fucking SURCOATS. Like, actual on god surcoats with fucking HERALDRY. Actually heraldic symbols. What is life. And the writing was just so fucking good. Like, tight and focused and character driven and the actors are just stunning in their roles.

Now this show is not perfect. There have been a few moments I have questioned, and episode 5 in particular made several choices I disagree with (I'll prob write up a separate post later). But by and large, it's the best bit of television I've watched in like, literally years. And though the time jump makes me a wee bit nervous, I can say that I can't wait for all that is too come. This show is amazing, come scream about it with me pls.

I've been stitching some cicadas lately. This year is going to be a big one for the screaming bugs!

For those interested in making their own cross stitched cicadas, the patterns are available for sale here and here! (Please note: my software skills mean that I had to freehand the AAAAAs rather than place them in the pattern itself, so those are not included in the patterns. This does mean that you can make these little guys uniquely your own and add any sort of scream that you'd like, though!)
