Christmas presents revealed

 Happy new year! I just have a quick post today because things have hit the ground running this year. I made all but one of my Christmas presents this year, so I thought I’d post some of the photos today, now that they’ve all been opened. Some of these have my construction notes, none of these have proper patterns. There are a few other gifts I made for the family, but I’m not posting them (one’s personal, and one I forgot about pictures until after it was mailed).

A scarf for my grandfather (Lion Brand Homespun, N hook, just 18dc across until the yarn ran out)

An amigurumi spaceship (inspired by/intended to be the millennium falcon, but messed up with engine placement). Boring gray yarn, an H hook, and worked in parts so the edges were fairly crisp and even. 

The edge of one of the embroidered towels I did. All of the towels used DMC pearl cotton, worked pretty haphazardly. 

One of the pair of fingerless gloves I made my sister. It’s variegated yarn, with an H hook, and I worked a cable across the back of the hand for fun (and so she’d wear them). 

A monogrammed towel for some family — I used their last initial and first initials to make the design. 

Drawnwork on a towel, with a snippet of a coaster laying on top of it. I enjoyed the drawnwork, although hemstitching was a pain.

Murderbot Goes To Prom

 Or, my senior prom is over (it was a lot of fun and I could have danced all night) and I am So Close to graduating!!! (Tomorrow!!!)  And so I have written fanfic about it. And also did fanart about it. This is my beloved high school alternate universe of the murderbot books where they’re theater kids, and these are the photos that would be on their various Instagram accounts.  ID: Arada and Overse standing together in front of two trees. Arada has brown curly hair and medium dark skin, and wears a pink floofy dress with a shimmery skirt; she also has a pink flower crown and a turquoise corsage. Overse has light skin and curly light brown hair, and wears a sleek teal gown that fades to lighter shades on the skirt; she also has a necklace, a pink corsage, glasses, and a turquoise flower crown.  ID: Ratthi and Pin-Lee standing next to each other in front of an old tree. Ratthi has brown skin and brown hair, and wears a blue-gray suit with a white shirt and red tie, corsage, and flower cr

Things Bardic Is Learning About The East Coast

 A list: - *everything* is green here and there’s so much water and so many trees - everything is named after a person or a place in England. There’s no saints, no “beautiful views” or “snowy mountains,” no religious names at all. - turnpikes are a real thing and not just something that shows up in a history textbook  - ITS SUMMER WHY IS IT WET WHY IS IT RAINING I DONT LIKE IT - low flow toilets are less of a thing here because, according to my father, “water is basically free” - SERIOUSLY WHY SO GREEN WHY SO MUCH WATER - wet season is all year? All roofs are peaked? Everything’s so old????? What is UP with this place????!!! - no earthquakes what the HECK - why is there farmland right outside town??? - I apparently know nothing about water. This has been told to me multiple times.

I finished this a few weeks ago, and I’m finally sharing both pictures and a free pattern for my new favorite shawl (and, hopefully, I might even be able to figure out ravelry posting)! I love shawls because they go with everything, and this one combines rainbow colors, a feathery border, and beautiful drapeiness.
