Fun fact! This black glaze works like a chalkboard. I chose it so you could make yourself sad with baby minotaur drawings.
I’ve got the store mostly sorted, I think! Right now this link should take you to my site store with FAQ about buying these, a gallery of everything available, and will take you to the live store on Feb 8.
this messed up vintage cat sewing pattern has tormented me since i saw it & like some other folks have done in that post – i tried my hand at tweaking the pattern to resemble the illustration (and my personal tastes) a little more. i’ve ended up with this, which i have only tested at a small scale and not this final version exactly (where i have done such things as further widening the cheeks and finalizing the leg shapes.) i bestow it upon you nice folks now đ
(IVE UPDATED IT WITH A FIX!!)
go forth and make weird little beanbag kittens! pls show me if you do!
tested the fix (as seen in the edit!!) AND IM SUPER HAPPY THIS IS CUTE AS HELL!! im hoping some people whove reblogged this see the updated pattern aaahh
@daftpatience do I just save the image of your fixed pattern and then print it out to make my own kitten or do you have a specific link to the fixed pattern?
that’s the fixed one, yes!
it’s hard to keep a tumblr post up to date so I’ve also got it for free on my ko-fi & that’s always gonna be the most recent version of the pattern!
Since I no longer wish to support Meta with my presence on Instagram due to Meta allying with Donald Trump, I am hoping to find a community where I can share my knitting here on Tumblr. I used to be on Tumblr as a teenager 15 years ago, but I made a new username now to start over fresh.
The legwarmers in the picture are my proudest knitting achievement. They are my own design, made in two-color brioche and double knitting. I am working on the pattern, and wish to organize a test knitting hopefully this spring. But I need to finish the pattern first. And I am a perfectionist.
I am looking forward to meeting new people to discuss knitting here on Tumblr.
LONDON – South Korean prosecutors formally indicted President Yoon Suk Yeol on Sunday, charging him with insurrection over his brief imposition of martial law in December, according to opposition lawmakers and South Korean media.
“The prosecution has decided to indict Yoon Suk Yeol, who is facing charges of being a ringleader of insurrection,” Democratic Party spokesman Han Min-soo told a press conference, Reuters reported. “The punishment of the ringleader of insurrection now begins finally.”
It’s annoying watching other countries do things better, isn’t it?
âHey guys, just because itâs about a gay space and was written, and performed by gay people who sang songs for gay people doesnât mean itâs a gay songâ is an insane level of cognitive dissonance.
Iâm fucking g laughing my ass off about this right now actually
Gonna add on, the rest of the band hate the cop, who is the only original member in the band because he sued the rest of them and took control of the names and song rights.
Members of the original recognised line-up have also been shouting out on IG about the fact that this isn’t them. The MAGA twit is counting on people not looking beyond the costumes.
alancummingreally I wore this suit to the Met gala centuries ago in protest at being told to shut up and keep out of politics during the Iraq war, but I think today its message is even more prescient and vital.
The quote is by the great Audre Lord and the suit was designed by Stephen Cirona.
Because someone is on the ball, Turner Classic is playing (among other WWII films) The Great Dictator today.
If you haven’t seen it, please do. It was produced by Charlie Chaplin in the late 1930s, when it became clear that the war was going to happen, and came out in 1940 after it had started. Essentially, Chaplin realized that his famous mustache was about to be usurped forever by a fascist, and that fascist was going to kill a lot more people in the future than he had already.
It’s a parody, made before the worst horrors of the Nazi regime were known to the general public, so there is discomfort here (if you’ve seen Disney’s Der Fuhrer’s Face, you’ll get the idea), but the movie ends with Chaplin essentially saying “fuck it, no one else seems to be speaking out about this and I’m going to use my platform to do that.”
For context, this character is a Jew who has been mistaken for the dictator (for obvious mustache-related reasons), and has been sent onstage at a rally to give a speech. Instead of trying to impersonate Hitler, he says what he really thinks. And keep in mind, Chaplin was coming out of semi-retirement for this. It was the first time most people had ever heard him speak, and this is what he said:
