Something really special about yarn crafts that I haven’t really seen people talk about is the significance that can come from using the same yarn in multiple projects – like I have a hexagon quilt that shares yarn with the blanket I made my friend for her eighteenth birthday, and the toy I made for a family friend’s new grandchild, and cat I made a different friend, etc. I was making a bag for a friend today while making a jumper made partially out of the same yarn. And after I’ve given her that bag I’m never going to wear that jumper and not think about it. You can wear or wrap yourself up in a physical embodiment of ways you’ve touched others’ lives, however small.

Having spent the better part of three hours teaching teenage boys to knit and crochet, I will say that it was an unexpectedly pleasant experience. They took it very seriously and were very intent on getting it right, and were very pumped when I told them they were doing it right. A highlight of the night occurred when one guy moved on from crocheting with a hook to knitting with needles, and his friend (still crocheting) looked over in absolute astonishment and said “woah, when did you get two sticks?!”

“I wouldn’t, if i were you.”
Whumpee froze, eyes widening as they bit back a whimper. Their hand quickly shut the book of files they had been reading from Whumper’s desk. They didn’t dare move after that.
“But then again,” Whumper hums, striding up behind Whumpee and gently traced their knife along the other’s cheekbone;
“You never seem to listen, do you?”

Picked up a yarn project again today, immediately found a mistake, and it make me think about how some people complain about fan terms.
Like, the entire “Why do you think you’re so special you get to just make up words to mean things that have words already?”
Which is of course silly, ask anyone getting a Masters degree in any specialization and there’s a ton of field-specific terminology and phrases that mean something exceptionally specific to them but are confusing to others.
Me? I was giggling at the terms knitters and crocheters use, simply because we can.
Case in point? Frog and Tink, both verbs, both meaning something everyday but with specific meaning to people who know what they are.
“To Frog” is to yank on your yarn of a crochet or knit project and unravel however many stitches - you “rip it, rip it!!”
Tumblr media
“To Tink” is a more controlled form of unraveling exclusive to knitting, which is literally knitting in reverse (k.n.i.t. -> t.i.n.k.).
Tumblr media
“Well, why not just say rip it out or unravel?”
First of all, you tink and frog in different situations: tinking is safer but takes a ton of time and effort, while frogging runs the risk of ruining a work if you’re not careful but is the only practical way to undo multiple rows.
Secondly, these terms are fun! Going backwards in a project because you made a mistake is a pain no one actually wants to do, so croaking out “rip it, rip it!” while you watch an hour’s worth of work dissolve into a tangle of kinked yarn helps.
Thirdly, it’s a sign of community. You know someone has spent time in knitting or crocheting culture to have encountered these terms - a badge of honor, of having committed to a project enough to being willing to redo to that extent.
So have your slang. Have your fun little phrases that have nuance.
It’s literally English.
Unless you happen to think the terms “To hit someone” and “To hit on someone” mean the same thing.
Edit: Forgot to include this! A link to a page with instructions on how to best safely Frog and Tink, where I took those pictures.

y'all seemed to quite like the little crocheted ruthari (TY 💘) so i thought maybe some of you would be interested in a few close-ups 👀
(i added some crocheter rambling so feel free to just click on the photo and swipe to skip all that)
i also throught perhaps @careful-silent-still and @hypherr would like to see them too? 👉👈
so. first up, runaan. he has wire inside so he has some degree of movement, but he's also quite stuffed and the movement is unfortunately limited
Tumblr media
i've been crocheting for a year, so the idea of coming up with my own patterns for his clothes was terrifying. therefore, i ended up doing just his boots, pants and the vest (it's hot in the silvergrove this time of the year, he doesn't need the shirt or the coat 😅), plus of course the horn cuffs. all accesories are removable of course. the original idea for the pendant was for it to be just one strand with a loop at the end but it didn't look good at all so i switched to something way simpler and more effective)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i suck at embroidery and i hate it but what can you do 🫠
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so i made runaan first and he was going to be a little birthday gift to myself, but ofc it'd be criminal to make only him and the plan has always been to make him a little ethari too. i finished him on the 5th so i guess it all ended up being a gift for him 🤣
Tumblr media Tumblr media
once i saw his turnarounds, though, it took me quite some time to hype myself up to actually start making him, because it's so many different clothes with no existing patterns and they're all so detailed (runaan's were too but i had gained some confidence while making him and wanted to work on ethari properly) 😩 still, i somehow did it.
i did change the flap of fabric hanging from his belt as i had no way of making a smooth ombre transition from purple to dark turquoise like he actually has it - so instead of 2 jarring colours, it's 4 jarring colours 😂 and i also didn't do the embroidery on that part and it made me very happy - especially since there was plenty of embroidery i couldn't skip
Tumblr media
and just like with runaan, all of his articles of clothing are removable (the flap is sewn onto the belt, and the green patches are sewn onto the boots but other than that, everything is separate)
there is, however, one issue 😅 i think it stems from a couple of choices i made: 1. i used a different, slightly thicker type of yarn for ethari's body than i did for runaan; 2. i used a 3,0 mm hook instead of 2,5 mm; and 3. i messed up the patterns for ethari's limbs (i did them in rounds instead of rows; it was late and i was tired and by the time i realised that, i was on the 3rd one & couldn't be bothered to scrap them all - which i probably should have done XD oh well).
the first 2 choices were deliberate as ethari is canonically a little bit taller than runaan, but umm...
Tumblr media
let's just assume elves grow until they're 40 or so, and so after 2 years in the coin, runaan stayed behind 😅
oh, and i also wanted them to be able to hold hands so they have magnets in their hands but in the end, they weren't strong enough to still work through two layers of yarn ☹️ i guess i could still use a little clasp but we'll see about that
so yeah. here they are 😊
P.S. please enjoy runaan at his baby yoda phase:

i met a long-distance friend irl for the first time! i made him a furby <3
-
[ID: A crocheted furby. Its body is light blue, light pink, and white. It has a light blue tuft of fur on its head. Its belly and ears are purple felt and its feet are yellow felt. Its faceplate is 3D-printed and painted blue. The beak is yellow and the inside of the mouth is red. The detail above the eyes is the same purple color as the belly and ears. Its irises are light green with dark green heart-shaped pupils. The furby is also wearing a glittery rainbow kandi single around its right ear. In the center of the bracelet, there is a letter bead with a red heart on it. End ID.]

mario fanfiction prompts: bowser x luigi (PART 3)
headcanons i made in the discord
there is 1 long lasting peace treaty between kingdoms and it’s an agreement that nobody is allowed to use the nickname KB (because of kings boo, bowser, and bob-omb)
bowser kidnaps everyone he has an interest in
koopas are good at knitting/ crochet and use their claws instead of hooks or needles; it’s one of bowser’s anger management hobbies and he taught junior how to do it
thought of this cuz i can crochet and learned some ppl can do it with just their hands
bowuigi try to makeout but luigi burns his tongue or something cuz bowser runs abnormally hot
thought of this when i burnt my mouth eating a croquette
sometimes luigi wakes up earlier than bowser and watches him sleep
since luigi can fall asleep fast, maybe he’s a heavy sleeper and doesn’t mind if bowser snores
luigi sleep walks and talks, but like THIS
bowser as luigi’s weighted blanket
bowser asks kamek to help luigi with his anxiety with a spell or a potion or something; kamek says that’s impossible and suggests medicine and a therapist, maybe multiple therapists
junior and the koopalings probably call luigi by his name or nicknames before bowser does, before and when the two start dating
bowser gets jealous and wants to do it too but feels awkward cuz it’d be weird to just start doing it out of nowhere
rookie (amnesia bowser) but instead of just being kind of gullible he’s actually a bit of a yandere; maybe he’s sweet but also smart and scheming
sneaky rookie where he switches between useful and resourceful to stupid and pathetic to keep mr. L interested and his guard down
someone in the discord mentioned that italians climb poles (LINK they gave) and i saw a vid of morton koopa saying “high place broke... low place scary“, headcanon that luigi and morton climb bowser when he’s really big
koopas shed/molt, bowser usually helps his kids with it
luigi helps after getting captured or after him and bowser start dating, maybe luigi has eczema and that’s why he knows so much about lessening the itching feeling
bowser and his kids like to loaf or sploot when they’re really comfortable or sleepy tired, sometimes luigi will lie down next to/ on their side and relax with them
luigi worked at the casino enough to learn both card and magic tricks and he shows off to anyone interested, including bowser’s army
luigi is incredibly comfortable and casual about wearing skirts and dresses, he could show up to tennis practice in a skirt and no one would bat an eye, it’s one of the things he’s most confident about
what if bowser had a pouch like a kangaroo and junior tagged along on some of his adventures with a switch and a juicebox just chillin in there and occassionally popping his head out to watch the fight
luigi talking about polterpup “what ails you my little unemployed freeloader”
bowser measuring his kid’s height in sauces
