phm is decently popular in japan and i mostly see this when i check twitter and see accounts posting pictures of handmade rocky plushies that are so fucking round looking it brings a tear to my eye

he keeps me sane

[sanguine-humor]

btw, idk if this will be seen by any of the countless people who already have seen and reblogged this post, but heres the original guide posted on how to make the chibi-rocky! the OP also has a separate guide for a more accurate rocky, though obviously less simple of a guide than the little thingy shown off

(im surprised this post gained any attention, haha, if i had known i would have just shared the guides, the more handmade pebbles in the world the better)

The memory quilt is washed and ready to be mailed out with all four bears! I really love how the bears and the quilt look together

[tj-crochets]

This post is getting notes again, so throwback to what I think is probably one of the best things I've ever made, a matching set of four memory bears and a memory quilt

it's been a while but i'm finally back into knitting! i've recently made this Skyrim themed cardigan based on the landscape of Tel Mithryn and its surrounding views. this one was a lot of fun to design and get everything lined up!

knitted on 3.5mm, 4.0mm, and 5.0mm needles with Drops Nepal yarn

I’m kinda surprised that nalbinding isn’t as popular as crochet and knitting tbh because it has an even lower barrier of entry tools wise and unlike crochet and knitting it makes fabric that you can cut.

I guess it’s because it’s slower or something.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Nalbinding aka needle binding is when you use yarn and a big sewing needle to make fabric btw

It also has a lot of different kinds of stitches you can do that make different densities of fabric.

Some people even make rugs.

[thewolfwaitsbelow]

I feel like part of it might be casual people are generally aware of the existence of crochet and knitting, even if they don’t know very much about either, but have never heard of nalbinding

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yeah I hadn’t heard of it until recently and I ordered a big bone needle for myself to try it out and that should be arriving soon.

I was surprised that I’d never heard of it though. It’s older than knitting and crocheting and even though it’s been done all over the world it’s super relevant to Nordic culture and my grandmother and I are both into keeping in touch with our roots a bit so I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it.

It seems like the sort of thing that would be popular even if not as popular as crocheting and knitting, considering the low barrier of entry.

[what-even-is-thiss]

You also don’t need a bunch of different sized needles for nalbinding or whatever. The size of the stitch is controlled either completely freehand or by pulling it against one of your fingers. Most people who have a lot of nalbinding needles seem to either have tried out wood, bone, and metal ones to see which kind they liked or they enjoy carving wood or bone and like making their own needles as an extra hobby.

It’s also a lot easier to freehand and adjust as you go than crochet or knitting and you mostly go by inches instead of rows and number of stitches so a large number of accessories like stitch markers or whatever isn’t really necessary.

Maybe the lack of accessories also makes it unpopular idk. People do like collecting things in their nests.

[the-color-of-sound-is-space]

I've been wanting to do so, I cannot find anyone who can teach me, and any books I can find on it are Ass in the Visual Learning department. Otherwise I'd be making the hell outta some nalbinded fabric

[what-even-is-thiss]

I found this channel by a nice man who makes up close tutorials

Happy Needlebinding

I create videos on YouTube to learn people how to needlebind using two fingers and your thumb. Needlebinding helps people to relax, relieve

I thought this would be kind of a niche post to make but I was quickly reminded that I’m on tumblr, the website full of gay people with one billion hobbies.

Haven't posted much work lately cause executive dysfunction is horrific I'm lazy but I did finish something today

Now I'd didn't just bind this book cause I read it as a kid, most of the ones I'm planning on binding are things I haven't read yet.

But a friend I haven't seen in a while was having a baby shower today, and he's the one that originally lent me this book, back when I was like, 13 or so.

Hopefully he enjoys it, hopefully it doesn't fall apart, and maybe his kid will enjoy it in a decade or so

Some thoughts

-kinda choked at the last minute, damaged the bookcloth in a spot by pressing to hard when defining the spine crease. Also forgot to print the label on the good printer so just rubbing it down wore it significantly

-Wish I'd put endbands on, also, the block wasn't exactly centered vertically

-Funny thing was, formating the text took far longer than the binding

Things to think on for my next project

-Want to figure out how to do more interesting covers and endpapers

-Used sewed banding

-perhaps round the back

-figure out how to make large textblocks lie even

[collageenjoyer]

Not a collage, but I wanted to show off my first needle tatting project

(Yes I know I kind of stretched the last round a little bit when I was blocking it)
