Scooby-Doo (2002) had an incredible animated intro that was cut from the final film due to length constraints, and it’s still wild that something that good didn’t make the theatrical release

After 9 months of work, my Oseberg tapestry sweater is complete!

This was my first sweater knitted in the round, first stranded colourwork project, and my first time steeking. It was definitely my most challenging project so far, and a lot of learning and research was involved. I used a colourwork chart created by the very talented Molly Gifford, which is available for free on Ravelry

For reference, this is one of the fragments uncovered from the gravesite:

Some scholars think that the Oseberg tapestry includes the earliest known artistic depiction of Odin's ravens, Huginn and Muninn. So I added them to the sleeves as a little Easter egg.

The Nigredo (Blackening) Stage.

"A skeleton wielding a scythe and arrow stands beneath the Sun eclipsed by the Moon, signifying Nigredo (blackening) phase of death, decay, and transformation. Below, a dying figure representing Mercury lies dying his caduceus abandoned, a black bird pecks at the eyes, reinforcing the corruptive yet necessary dissolution of the old self. Two skulls labelled Salt and Sulphur lie beneath a hollow tree, showing that the foundational elements of the work have perished. In the background, incense rises from a vessel, hinting at purification to come, while a bush with red and white flowers suggests the hidden potential for rebirth. This pivotal moment in the Magnum Opus symbolizes necessary dissolution before the transition to Albedo (whitening) can begin."

"Dissolution is the First Operation which has to take place in the Art of Alchemy, for the order of Nature requires that the Corpus, Body, or Matter, be changed into Water which is the much spoken of Mercury. The Living Silver dissolves the adjoined pure Sulphur.

This Dissolution is nothing but a killing of the moist with the dry, in fact a Putrefaction, and consequently turns the Matter black."
