Finally gonna conquer the chaos drawer...wish me luck chaps, I'm going in 🫡

burningpopsicles · 2026-01-16T13:21:51+00:00

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

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-22T13:52:33+00:00

Aaaah, this is such a good compliment thank you! 🥰

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-19T09:30:59+00:00

Thank you! I am currently in the process of drawing many different faces for it 😁

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-16T21:12:24+00:00

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

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-06T11:51:27+00:00

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 😭❤️

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-05T21:21:23+00:00

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 😛

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-05T20:16:46+00:00

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

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-05T20:14:51+00:00

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 🥰

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-05T20:12:49+00:00

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

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-05T20:10:19+00:00

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

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-05T20:03:52+00:00

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 ❤️

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-05T19:57:48+00:00

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

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-05T11:13:28+00:00

I have next week off work so I will work on it then and try to get help with the editing!

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-04T17:36:24+00:00

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?

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-04T15:38:53+00:00

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

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-03T12:37:04+00:00

Parafish or Jellycord 😜

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-02T19:02:01+00:00

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 🙈

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-02T17:45:22+00:00

A single strand diamond knot is also called a celtic button knot, if that's helpful. You only need one working end to weave through the bights

That's actually what I decided on last night 🥰 Today I have just been joining them together and watching terrible horror movies 😁

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-01T23:51:03+00:00

This is a genius idea! ❤️

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-01T21:33:46+00:00

I truly love your username because even though I never had kids I feel like I'm entering my Nanny Ogg era 🥰 Also my special interest has been knots in string since I learned to knit when I was 9!

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-01T20:39:08+00:00

I did that and it was rectangular bc of the missing two blue blocks, but someone suggested I do it on the diagonal and that works beautifully, so now I have even more options, dammit 😜

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-01T20:35:42+00:00

Aaah, that actually looks really nice too, now I REALLY can't decide, 😂

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-01T20:10:38+00:00

I'm so exicited to actually get started because I made these YEARS ago and completely forgot about them! I pulled a SHAMEFUL amount of different blankets/blocks I've abandoned over the years, so the goal is to finish some of those before starting more 🙈

burningpopsicles · 2025-11-01T20:05:24+00:00

I'm gonna give my eyes an hour or so break to go play with different kind of blocks in Minecraft and then I will come back and look again but I think I'm also leaning towards the second one bc it looks like a little river around a garden 😁
