Anyone able to point me towards resources for choosing fabric to line a Tunisian Crochet coat?
I've never made a lining for anything I've crocheted before and my hope is to prevent as much stretching over time as I can but idk what cloth/fabric would work best.
Any help would be wonderful ^_^

Being a hoarder of Wikipedia articles is fun and all until someone unwittingly says "I hate the moon, I wish I could blow it up or smth" and I go "Hahaha lollllll you're so funny 😄😋............. 👁️👁️
Hey did you know that in May 1958, ARF began covertly researching the potential consequences of a nuclear explosion on the Moon? The main objective of the program, running under the auspices of the United States Air Force which had initially proposed it, was to cause a nuclear explosion that would be visible from Earth. It was hoped that such a display would boost the morale of the American people.[4]
At the time of the project's conception, newspapers were reporting a rumor that the Soviet Union was planning to detonate a hydrogen bomb on the Moon. According to press reports in late 1957, an anonymous source had divulged to a United States Secret Service agent that the Soviets planned to commemorate the anniversary of the October Revolution by causing a nuclear explosion on the Moon to coincide with a lunar eclipse on 7 November. News reports of the rumored launch included mention of targeting the dark side of the terminator—Project A119 would also consider this boundary as the target for an explosion. It was also reported that a failure to hit the Moon would likely result in the missile returning to Earth.[5]
A similar idea had been put forward by Edward Teller, the "father of the H-bomb", who, in February 1957, proposed the detonation of nuclear devices both on and some distance from the lunar surface to analyze the effects of the explosion.[6]"
And then the group chat is just reaaaaaaaally quiet 😂😅

Robin and Steve know Everything about Everyone. Your second cousin twice removed that doesn't even look Hawkins anymore? Yeah they know that he cheated on his wife and dyes his hair with box dye he gets from the grocery store a town over. No one is safe.
Steve opens a hair salon and somehow they know even More about everything. The police start by asking them if they know anything. They may give you exactly who stole Jim's pumpkins and what else he did as well as why he stole Jim's pumpkins.
But they might also completely misdirect them cause what? An explosion on the south side? They know nothin about who did it (eleven) but in that area there is the old man named Carl who sells weed outside of his car on Thursday's sooo not saying it's a coincidence but also so weird right? (they just hate Carl)

No, tell us about the dorm parties and Lily finding out about them, pretty please
ooooh a tag question! love these too hehe
okay so. a lil bit of backstory: i had a semi-wild teen life, ykno? like. not as crazy as ~american high school movies but in the context of the country i grew up in? pretty unreal. there were parties and alcohol and weed and a lot of hooking up. so much petty drama. so much irreverence.
point is: i dont like it when teens are portrayed as some pure, untouched, prudish creatures who've never heard of fun or drugs or sex. it just doesnt fit with what i know.
and i fully believe that hogwarts--a boarding school where kids have MAGIC (which really just means unending possibilites)--was a place where the students went wilddd. one of the ways? dorm parties. u have these private spaces for just you and like. 5 others. u can do a shit ton with ur wand. why wouldnt u use it for parties ykno?
so yeah, i think the common room had larger parties after like. quidditch wins and end of exams, but bc its more people and more younger kids, u had to be more careful. dorm parties tho? smaller, more intimate, and ur with the people u know/trust so crazier shit will happen.
the marauders were invited to a lot of them in the girls dorms (and vice versa) and ykno. they went to a lot. bc teen boys and girls. it was all very scandalous--booze and short skirts and shirts unbuttoned off their shoulders and hazy smoke filling the room and lipstick marks smeared over chins and necks and the like--and incredibly fun. just kids being kids, yeah?
lily, though. i've long been playing w the idea that her friendship w snape (and chastisement of james--and sirius, to a lesser extent) came w a substantial social cost. her defending someone who was so shady didnt win her any points and i hc as her a person who hid her insecurity w self righteousness (on top of just. being a bit of an abrasive person) which didn't win her additional favors. so even her dormmates maintained a certain distance and the dorm parties didn't often include her. she only found out accidentally when she went up to the room it was happening in to get a book back and saw everyone buzzed out and dancing and more relaxed (intimate) than she'd ever seen.
it was genuinely a huge shock when she saw the boys sprawled across the room in varying stages of undress (james had a girl and a guy on a thigh each, arms wrapped around both waists; sirius was hanging upside down w a joint dangling from his lips and its a wonder he didnt choke himself to death) and she squeaked out of the room in a moment of severe cultural shock.
it was only later that she worked herself into moral outrage and just. hurt-filled anger type stuff, ykno? her roommates sort of had to give her a reality check in that moment. the marauders only blinked at her in bemusement, amused at her high-handed attempts to manage them.

there is also just a degree here of ‘i have a lot of extremely detailed extremely specific non-analytical (<- transformative headcanon) ideas about grimm lore that are, inexplicably, receiving at minimum thematic, possibly also mechanical, textual validation and it’s making me rabid’ like. jesus christ, crwby.

I am a silly goose and will be asking a plethora of poorly worded weaving questions over the next little while.
Sorry about that >.<
I will be reblogging this post with said silly questions.
Silly Question the First:
When calculating for a double weave fabric, do I make my width measurements based off my loom width or my finished unfolded cloth?
Does that question make sense?
For example, the finished unfolded cloth measured 24", so do I make my calculations with 24" or with 12"?

Perhaps I just exist to collect things I like, learn information that's a little too niche, and be a tad bit less reliable than google.
Then I can showcase/gift the archives in my head like a dragon of knowledge

Now that I think of it, Ratchet as the eldest medic might know the most about sparklings from the fact that he's damn old. Shockwave... might also, considering his own age and how he was acting as some sort of medical figure at some point (remember, he met Megatronus as a surgeon) but that's also because Shockwave's knowledge is rather eclectic.
