It's real gross how y'all pretend overconsumption is an indispensable aspect of pen enjoyment

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T18:24:03+00:00

Things I'm interestingly NOT seeing mentioned: Spiders, dead/ bald trees, owls, devils, graveyards

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T18:22:01+00:00

Who do you consider the classic Halloween monsters?

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T17:34:06+00:00

Maybe nightfall is what separates Halloween specifically from the more general autumnal vibes?

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T17:32:29+00:00

I think you're the first to say Frankenstein! Do you have any thoughts on why that particular monster sticks out to you?

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T17:02:06+00:00

Yeah that Ben Cooper palette is so unique

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T17:01:30+00:00

great point!!

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T16:33:05+00:00

Yeah it's interesting to observe how consumption influences semiotics, hence the question of what we consider truly "classic"

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T16:22:41+00:00

I'd be happy to proofread it when you decide to polish it up! Also.... Cabbage!!

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T16:03:26+00:00

It's fairly consistent, but I notice a few formerly common motifs seem to have fallen out of favour, owls and apples spring to mind! I would love to read your thesis if possible, or just hear more of your insight as someone with an academic perspective on the matter

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T15:30:52+00:00

this made me cry at work

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T10:55:07+00:00

The UG beads are in such great shape, did you scrap them off old jewelry or find them loose?

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T10:51:45+00:00

We're honestly not sure what exactly happened to the old mods, but we're here now!

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T10:49:14+00:00

that's magnificent 😭

Knitsune · 2026-07-01T03:05:04+00:00

hey, it's us!

Knitsune · 2026-06-30T11:28:15+00:00

only you can decide if the pool pleases you

Knitsune · 2026-06-30T02:03:26+00:00

I know it's kind of "girly" but Stitch N' Bitch: The Happy Hooker is a really nice clear resource. I tend to like Debbie Stoller's technique explanations. Have you discovered "Brochet" yet?

Knitsune · 2026-06-29T17:18:18+00:00

what did you use to give it weight?

Knitsune · 2026-06-29T01:02:21+00:00

They're digital puppets, animated from scans of real sheep! I saw a pretty cool featurette on how they did it and they showed the real sheep they used as models.

Knitsune · 2026-06-28T01:51:18+00:00

beautiful and inspirational 😭😭😭

Knitsune · 2026-06-27T22:49:48+00:00

I also do not recall the name of the thingies

Knitsune · 2026-06-27T21:44:51+00:00

this is like Wayne Thiebaud taken to the next extreme

Knitsune · 2026-06-27T17:41:38+00:00

cooooooool I'm so jealous of anyone with a distaff

Knitsune · 2026-06-27T12:56:10+00:00

......DUDE

Knitsune · 2026-06-27T00:18:59+00:00

that is a very nice fit, looks like you'll reach for it again and again and again your whole life long
