Just started watching #americanhorrorstory (the Freak Show season, no spoilers pls). 🎪
Only a few episodes in, I'm really enjoying it; but have heard a general consensus that the later seasons aren't as good as earlier ones.
Any recommendations for which one to watch next? #ahs
A yellow and brown sock currently in the works on a pair of double-pointed knitting needles.
I am simultaneously begrudgingly making my way through this long plain section, and very proud of making a sock overall! 🧦 #knit #dpns #sockknitting #knitproject #fiberarts #knitsocks #socks
My latest thing is listening to horror #videogame lore/summaries while working on finishing #knitting my first ever sock. 🎮🧶
I've already listened through all the Silent Hill and Dead Space games; currently now on to Amnesia: The Bunker!
Any other games I should check out/has a good story?
A crocheted cream-colored kitsune (a many-tailed fox spirit from Japanese folklore) plush with black button eyes and 7 tails, each of which is tipped in a different color.

Is it wonky in some spots? Yes.
Am I still needing practice with #plushies? For sure.
Does the head look more like a chihuahua than a fox? Yup.
Am I still proud I made a #kitsune plush? You betcha.

An art poster for the fictional brand Nuka Cola, with text reading "Zap That Thirst!" at the top. The poster features a pin-up style woman in a stylish sci-fi space suit, smiling and holding a red Nuka zapper.
Got a new #fallout poster for my gaming corner! ⭐ Also not pictured is a #nukacola cap bottle-opener/keychain from a local gaming store. Today's been a Fallout theme kind of day! ☢️
A snippet from a blizzard warning for Wisconsin issued by the US National Weather Service, with a highlighted portion discussing travel should only be for emergencies, and to have a winter survival kit in your vehicle.
Yeah, if the US National Weather Service is saying 'Yeah your butt could 100% get stranded on the side or ditch of the road in 6-10" of snowfall and gusting winds. Also make sure to have your SURVIVAL KIT handy', I'm gonna be staying home. 😭

Heel flap progress! 🧦
I struggled with purling on the smallest needles I've ever used; the key for me was working in 30-min blocks. Always good to give your hands a break!

I've never had the luxury of a glass tabletop while owning a cat (for optimal toe bean 🐾 and fluff viewing); thankfully Pusheen provides!
The first few centimeters of a hand knitted sock on double pointed needles, starts in an orange/rust color before switching to a a small section of a yellow and black speckle color.
A few rows into a color change! 😍
I just keep stopping to get a glimpse of it; I find it really satisfying for some reason. Can't wait to see it easier as I keep #knitting on!

It's a start! 🧦
A struggled-to-get-it-going, triple counting stitch numbers, tedious start of learning DPN's for my adventure into sock knitting. But a start nonetheless. #knit #knitting #fiberarts #fiberartist #sockknitting
Now I just need the sit down patience to ball up all these hanks. I probably won't even get to using these until the weekend! 😅
A little birthday shopping spree at my LYS. 🧶
The purple on the right was from a on-sale blind bag, and my boyfriend's choice was the "Ancient Grains" yellow. 💛
And, because I'm "that" kind of fiber artist, cat shaped stitch markers. 🐱

The book "The Sock Project: Colorful, Cool Socks to Knit and Show Off" by Summer Lee sits on a table cover side up.
Received a great early b-day gift that I'm paging through, and already can't wait to jump into trying the intimidating DPN technique for knitting.
Knitting socks is a big goal of mine and I can't wait to share the first ugly one I make. 🧦 #fiberarts #knitting #knit
I absolutely adore scientific crochet plushies, especially of less conventional species; and now thanks to this little cutie I learned what a springtail is!
I love this; the simplicity, the single color used. Seems like a museum piece of a child's toy from some long lost civilization.
I'm adoring this little amethyst plague doctor keychain from a blind box my boyfriend gifted me. It'll join my winking frog on my backpack. 💜 #plushie #plaguedoctor #chibi
This is so cool! The ice cream cone and the salami next to it are my favorites, I love the details.
If you're crocheting in the round, working with multiple colors sounds more difficult than it is! It might just take lots of re-reading and working slower.
There's also a few different tricks to get a good transition from 1 color to the next without a noticeable jog.
So anyways doctor, I wouldn't say I have like, ANY anxiety. 🤷♀️
(I notice a new rattling sound from my vehicle as I drive to work)
"Oh god, what now? Can I make it without breaking down on the highway? What if something starts on fire? What could be broken?"
(Not me noticing it's my pulled down sun visor vibrating against the rearview mirror)
Love the colors you chose! Can't wait to see the full blanket.
Wow, great work! The spiral is really pleasing to the eye.
I love that I'm getting advertisements for cosmetic Botox. Like, no thanks; I want people to know by sight that I'm tired and fed up with everything.
Those are really cute coasters, and so are the models! Nice work.

I've got a new pattern for y'all ✨

It's making sure you capture it's ✨good side✨. Nice shot!
Nice work, and super cute!
Four green crochet frogs are laid out next to each other underneath a crochet hook, each frog having a different expression or blush color.
Just making my own army over here...
Seriously, these little guys are so fast to work up, and with minimal stitch counting; I'm unashamedly making more. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
Definitely an easy "do while watching tv" kind of project.

A black and white crochet tapestry reading "RobCo Industries" with a silhouette of a wrench st the bottom. RobCo is a fictitious robotics company in the Fallout universe.
One of my WIP's; combining my love of tapestry #crochet and #fallout. ☢️
A bit rough but it was a learning experience in making my own design grid.
I might make more #fallout4 company designs and join them together in something larger.

A crochet green frog keychain with a winking expression wears a yellow yarn necktie.
🪡 Embroidery is REALLY not my strong suit; but at some point you embrace your mistakes and the nature of the beast.
So now I've got an unintentionally winking #frog keychain. 🐸
