fiber arts!

Made a little dice bag for my friend so she can be a dice goblin too.

Spoiler: Dice bag

I genuinely love this fabric and need to do more with it. It’s so pretty.

 

A friend wants to make this backpack but because the instructions are in russian she doesn't know the type of yarn that's being used there. anyone got a clue what that thick stuff is called so she can get the right supplies?

Spoiler: the picture

 

That almost looks like t-shirt yarn, I forget if its available commercially

 

it is! i think i have some yarn like that, it's not t-shirt but it looks like it has the same texture. sadly i can't remember what it's called; i don't think it came with a useful ball-band. but! i have definitely seen it around, and t-shirt yarn in general is certainly commercially available.
por exemplar

 

the ears and tail look like the thick fuzzy yarn you can get in the baby section

 

The pink looks like either t-shirt yarn or some kind of acrylic yarn and I agree the white looks like fuzzy baby section yarn

 

The structure of the t-shirt yarn is also sometimes called ribbon yarn

 

sooooo don't feel like you have to or anything, but my sibling did just set up an octokitten etsy over here... base price is $15 for a small one or $60 for a large one and you can request what colors you want!

here is a rainbow one they finished the other day :D

 

JOYFUL SCREAMING
OCTOKITTENS
so yes, I'm buying one.

 

:D :D :D

 

do you know if it costs extra to request Stripey Octokittens?

 

you'd have to ask them. the stripey ones they've done so far were striped because the yarn had a gradient, not because they were using different colors, so if you got one like that I'm guessing it wouldn't be extra. idk how much more difficult it would be to use multiple yarns.

fakedit: I asked them and they said it would be like $3 more with multiple yarns!

 

neat!
i just put a note in saying i want an orange one, and if they Happen to have something orange stripey that would be cool. if not, plain orange is fine and adorable.

 

Made another little one day project. A roll up pencil case.

Spoiler: Large images

 

two things:
number one, my octokitten arrived and it's the cutest wittle thing in the entire universe, yes it is.

number two, I'm starting a cape even though class starts in less than a week because I have no common sense

 

I've been inspired to make my own clothing but I dont have the space. I'll start attempting skirts and work my way up to more difficult patterns when I move into my own apartment and have space for cutting, ironing, and a sewing machine. I havent hand-sewn in ages, I'm keeping that shit to places where it won't show XD

 

i only need to do three more repeats. So. Close.

 

making a wedding veil
pattern picked was a fucking herbert niebling
I have regrets

 

Godspeed to that
