bismuth209Decided to come back here after the initial fixation fizzled out. Had a bit where i felt it'd be useless to return after not being here for a while, but that's of course silly. Gonna use this format i thought up last time to get back into it :z)
fannish thought: I am LOVING the new companion in Doctor Who. I can't believe I need to wait until may to see her again. She has a lot of vibes similar to Clara, who definitely used to be my favourite companion.
what i'm creating: I started crocheting a new shawl! A lot of crochet shawls are triangles that have you start at the middle of a long base. I have seen a couple patterns that were like, instead of a 180° angle they had a larger angle at that point. And i liked this, but i didn't like any of the specific patterns of this concept i saw. I also realised that if I wasn't making something VERY lacy, i'd need more yarn to get to a good sized shawl. I have 1 finished crochet shawl.
This was done with an 800m long cake yarn, and i like the size of it and i loved doing the pattern (it's the fragrant shawl on ravelry, free). Right after I made this shawl in, I think early 2022, I was excited to do more and I decided to buy more yarn cakes, and I even started a shawl with a 1000m cake. Two days ago I frogged the 230m I had crocheted (took like half an hour). I decided to finally make one of those shawls with a reflex angle (an angle between 180 and 360 degrees), and it'd be best to do it with the 1000m cake, because this will take more yarn. I'm using the same pattern as my first shawl, but altered. If anyone is curious about how I did that, feel free to leave a comment.
i accomplished this! I did some homework! made flashcards. Colourcoded per topic :)
something i want: I want to do all of my hobbies at once
and now, the weather: ...clawing at the air / now it's curtains for me / and i'll spend eternity / doing joyless cartwheels. in the void
the actual weather: rather windy!

I relate heavily to the "I want to do all my hobbies at once" lol
Happy new year!
