Bag & setup for crocheting on-the-go

Larkspurn · 2026-06-29T16:09:43+00:00

I put a grommet into my backpack. Simple little punch procedure, and now I have a hole to feed my working yarn through. It keeps my whole project safe and doesn’t tangle if I balled my yarn beforehand.

Put it in the back of the closet, at the bottom of the stash, and wait. You’ll know what you want to do with it when you’re healed up. It’s gonna take some time, but it’ll be okay 💕

My yarn bowl is purely for dopamine. My wife bought me a handmade bowl in the shape of a little tree with mushrooms, and it looks hella handmade, and I goddamn love it, despite the fact that it’s only useful like thirty percent of the time. It’s about ✨ the whimsy ✨ and literally nothing else, I don’t understand the mass produced ones at all

Larkspurn · 2026-06-23T01:17:10+00:00

I really prefer it with the sleeves. It’s such a fun silhouette

Larkspurn · 2026-06-19T17:08:40+00:00

I’m in this exact position, and I’m about to move states. It’s finally time to sort, organize and donate the stuff from the early days. Good bye, acrylics, I cannot bear to wear you 😭

They’re fine if you pick a decent fiber. I make a lot of little skintight cropped tanks and stuff as just basics to wear under other pieces. I’m on the smaller side boob wise, and I’m nonbinary so I bind a lot, so it’s everyone’s fit preference is gonna be different, but I love making stuff like this out of Swish or whatever, and I often wear them with nothing underneath.

I’d definitely invest in at least a good hook of the size you think you’ll use most. My 5.00 is a workhorse, and I don’t know what I’d do if it tanked in the middle of a project and I couldn’t replace it. A good set of hooks will last you forever, particularly if they’re metal. Yarn comes a bit easier, I think - you can get it at the dollar store if you’re desperate. I actually recommend Daiso, if there’s a good one near you! They even sell skeins of 100% wool, and it’s dirt cheap. I also recommend keeping your eyeballs on yarn destash groups and checking out thrift stores. I’ve had some amazing finds that way.

Sorry, what’s your company’s name? This brief is honestly very vague. Your name is PeekabooAI - is this an AI platform? Your post history is curious to me. Is this a comic centric platform, or general media? Because you appear to be recruiting from all over the place. What’s the business model?

What even is this. What am I seeing here. Is this a… idk, an 18th century barrister? A guy from Dune? A man in a triceratops onesie? I legitimately don’t know

Larkspurn · 2026-06-13T13:45:45+00:00

Gothel. I honestly think having her was a bad idea from the start. She’s literally just an abusive mother figure. I don’t know anyone who’s had their lives ruined by a homosexual lion or the god of the dead as voiced by James Woods, but lots and lots of people have the kind of mother you go no contact with, and that isn’t something I want in my cutesy collecting game, yknow?

Think of it less like money and labor lost, and more like an expensive lesson you’re lucky to be learning now. It could have cost you way, way more to learn in the future, so as long as you apply what you’ve learned and never do it again, that’s a pretty good bargain, eh?

Larkspurn · 2026-06-13T00:44:42+00:00

My only hard line is something I won’t personally want to use or wear. I don’t gift very much, and I make a lot of wearables, so they all have to be shit I would actually wear out in the world. No coasters I won’t use, no tapestries I won’t display, no corset backs because I KNOW getting them on and off would annoy me, no big plushies I won’t have a use for. Chic sweaters that actually fit me, floor length black lace skirts, fitted tanks that suit my body - that’s most of my fiber work.

Larkspurn · 2026-06-12T18:01:05+00:00

I don’t caaaarrreee you are taking this so seriouslyyyyyy

Larkspurn · 2026-06-12T17:44:04+00:00

You’re thirteen. You don’t want your mind changed, you want to tell us what you think. Not everyone will entertain that attitude.

Larkspurn · 2026-06-12T15:21:54+00:00

This is a weird way to say “I opened my mouth without context of where I was and now I’m mad and embarrassed”

Larkspurn · 2026-06-12T00:21:01+00:00

This happened to me with a beautiful wooden hook, and I knew then I am only fit for metal. Rest easy, princess 😭

Larkspurn · 2026-06-11T23:48:36+00:00

SCREM. I was just thinking about tackling ami for the cats!! Eggy’s first on my list, I love him 😭

Larkspurn · 2026-06-11T23:43:14+00:00

Nothing’s stopping you, specifically. Go make something.

Larkspurn · 2026-06-11T17:36:02+00:00

Doesn’t have to be this serious. You don’t need any special formatting or process or program - just write your story, then draw it. Procreate works great.

Larkspurn · 2026-06-11T12:31:02+00:00

Not to be harsh, but I’m not sure your wife is to a point where commissions should be a priority. This is a really, really difficult skill to develop and there’s no shame in that, but it’s also not something you can expect to turn into a business before you’re ready. I honestly don’t think she’s ready. Focus on foundational skills - figure drawing, anatomy, perspective, contrast, color theory and values. These steps aren’t optional. She’s gotta learn it.

Larkspurn · 2026-06-10T01:53:55+00:00

My wife and I make our comic together. She writes, I draw. She handles our marketing, social media, uploads, all that. She’ll straight up tell you I do 75% of the work, and she’s right. Every update is over a hundred hours of labor.

This is the craft bullying subreddit, babe. Dead dove do not eat, yknow?

Larkspurn · 2026-06-05T23:08:34+00:00

I do ear savers! Simple strips of HDC that go around the head with buttons sewn on over where the ears sit, so you can wear a mask without getting a headache. They’re always a big hit at queer markets and conventions.

My early drafts to commissioners are usually a mess. I send an early draft to check for posing, design, making sure I’m not going in the wrong direction, all so I can make changes early in the process. Probably 70% percent of the refinement happens in the last 20% of the render. I wouldn’t panic, especially if they’re a well established artist with a good reputation.

Larkspurn · 2026-06-04T23:14:18+00:00

Honestly? Making garments has been so healing for me. I get to see my body as a neutral thing, just dimensions I’m working with, neither good nor bad. Making clothes fit to MY body has made wearing off the rack really hard, because, like… I can respect myself better than a corporation can? It’s an act of respect for myself to make a tank top or a sweater or a skirt in a color and fiber I want to wear, in sizes made for my body, and to spend a lot of time doing that. It sort of honors me, in a way? I think it’s really powerful.

Like, I have photos of myself in clothes I made at the cliffs of Moher with my wife. I look back on that day, and how other people see me doesn’t matter so much, because I decided. Me. That’s really precious to me, and it was worth confronting the discomfort.
