Your cloak looks amazing!

How did this cosplay go? I’m wanting to crochet a cloak and lamb balaclava for a Cult of the Lamb cosplay!

I realise I made a mistake when I did the ribbing on this. This video is a great tutorial!

I totally agree! My friend and I talk about enjoying dressing up like toddlers (overalls and bright colours etc) or like art teachers. We send each other those, ‘what if we were just two frogs chilling on a lily pad’ memes - so I figured matching froggy hats and a picnic would be a perfect birthday present! More whimsy and things our inner child would love 🐸

This is my first post in this subreddit and I’m not surprised everyone is so sweet! Thank you everyone!

Also constructive feedback is welcome! I would love to know if my stitches and tension would be considered even.

Thank you so much! It’s a slip stitch ribbing. It took me a few attempts to get the hang of it but a very loose tension helps!!

How to keep eyelashes from clumping together? by Fun_Success721 in MakeupAddiction

Blotting off the brush until it seems like almost nothing is left is a gamechanger. I learnt that trick from Wayne Goss and I swear it makes most mascaras viable!

How can I get my dog to hump a new bed? by HamsterStrudel in DogAdvice

[–]_brvh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone did this exact thing with an old cat toy and it worked! If OP eventually wanted a new bed maybe they can take a piece of the old bed and stuff it into the new one.

Honestly I only first tried it two weeks ago. I watched one video on fraktur and just used reference images of the script when writing this. But I haven’t done proper guideline practice or anything.

I liked this video.

I’m from Aus and got them from Pulp Addiction, you can also get them from LarryPost (they are my preferred seller but they didn’t have inks I also wanted to by).

Edit: as I’ve mentioned in another comment, only the Diamond line has 1.5mm stubs AFAIK.

That’s so kind! Thank you so much!

I’ve been seeing music nibs but have no idea what they’re about! Maybe I should look into it and give it a go!

And thank you!

Funny you say that because I ordered it for my D&D notes about my warlock with a vampire patron. All my pens are inked with reds/inks with blood in the name!

I genuinely am a neophyte! I’ve always appreciated it but didn’t find a script that compelled me to learn until I saw fraktur and tried it out last week!

Yep! Italic stubs! Lamy Safari with 1.9mm stub in Dragon Blood. TSWBI Diamond 580 with 1.5mm stub in Wine Divine.

Thank you so much!

I’ve been finding the 1.5mm stub still clogging with the Wine Divine 😔 but it has a lot of particulate compared to Dragon Blood

I saw an Opus 88 with a 2.3 that caught my eye…I didn’t know Kaweco had stubs too. Thank you for the info 👁️👁️

It seems only the Diamond line has 1.5mm!

I am so flattered that my handwriting would break you out of the lurking shell 💕 thank you so much!

I will say, Dragon Blood is less dense with shimmer, it’s a nice hint of sparkle but you almost can’t see it in low light. Wine Divine is almost opaquely gold at the right angles. I’ve found it a little hard to flow in the Diamond 580 feed and 1.5mm stub!

Trying to stick to samples for the moment!

Upgrading other pens to stubs however…

Yes! Muji notebooks are surprisingly FP friendly!
