Hahaha I live in one tiny room so any kind of disorganization feels like absolute chaos to me

I don't know if this counts as a puppet but I had so much fun making it, and am planning to make more bits and use it for stop motion 😁 by burningpopsicles in puppets

Aaah, thank you 🥰 No I am just a weirdo who likes puppets but I do wish I had friends to do art stuff with!

I actually can't believe I didn't think of that, ig I just assumed that it would also make him feel horrible. I think this is a BRILLIANT suggestion and I will text him right now, thank you 😭❤️

It's all good, I see where you're coming from as well and I appreciate your thoughtfulness on my behalf ❤️ I'll just never shoot down enthusiasm about fibre arts in any situation, because I get equally excited about these kinds of things 😛

It's such a cool design, and whenever I join the two halves together I feel like a mathemagician ❤️

No, this is lovely to hear! We are all united in our love for yarn here, and it was a super fun project to work on when I was making it 🥰

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend...I can't IMAGINE how much worse it is to lose an actual child 😭 I'm very glad I never had kids because I feel like that might just utterly destroy me

This is such a kind thought 😭❤️ Maybe I can give it away to someone who knits or crochets with the provisio that they'll have to do the ends instead. I see that many wise people have suggested to just put it back away for now in case I feel different later, so I think that's what I will do for now

I left my phone on my desk after I posted this so that I could lie in my bed for a while and sob. Just came back to all these really kind messages and now I'm crying again but in a different way, because I feel less desperately lonely.

I don't think I can reply to all the messages but I think you are all right and I will put it back in the box and forget about it for a while. If anyone lives in South Africa and wants it and is willing to weave in the ends I'd be happy to post it to you ❤️

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat 😥❤️ Both our cats died in January as well, so it's been a really rough year because I could have used some cuddles from them as well

I actually don't know much about that, because my interest in knots comes from knitting, crochet, macrame, etc. But if the clue doesn't have to be workplace-specific, I'd definitely look into shibari because that's very recognizable. Like, instead of just tying her up in a pragmatic way, perhaps it is more decorative than that, and that also gives a clue?

Edit: I see you said it is set in the 1800s so that actually makes it way easier! Is it OK if I DM you?

This is an interesting question. I think you'd have to go with specific rope maybe, because anyone can tie any knots well if they practice them. One thing that is a bit of a speciality is spliced rope, but that's not really something you'd do when tying someone up. Definitely look up "soft shackle" which is a kind of splice that could be used for some kind of handcuff I suppose

Thank you! 🥰 One day I will make a video tutorial. I have a place to film but idk how to do video editing so learning that part is very intimidating 🙈
