cooking up something new :3

Finished this sweater I've been working on the past couple months!! I used an existing sweater as a template and kind of made it up as I went. 

The reds, oranges and yellows are Manos Del Uruguay Clasica that i got in a yarn trade approx one million years ago, the greens and grey are Manos Del Uruguay Maxima that I bought for this project (cause Clasica was discontinued) and the blue and purple are re-used from an old sweater of my mother's! The neutral grey is Cascade Eco. 

I'm super happy with how it turned out. I usually am not one for complicated colorwork but I think I did a decent job!

I kept a monthly calendar from December 2002 to September 2008, 52 in total. Mysteriously, after I started treatment for mental illness I no longer felt the need to keep rigorous track of everything going on, and these days it's all Google, but I still miss having a colorful touchstone to remind me that time is, in fact, moving. I started this piece roughly a year ago using a specific color to represent each month, and now I've finally finished it, so here's my woven calendar and some if its inspiration!

Warp and weft are both almost entirely cascade 220 except for the light blue that’s second from the right-hand side. I’m not 100% sure what it is.

Finally got my loom back on my desk and worked on this piece that’s been sitting in my closet for over a year. 

Funny that it’s Mother’s Day because the colors in the weft (except for the triangles) are yarn from a rainbow sweater my mother gave me that I deconstructed. 

I wasn’t 100% sure how to finish this piece but the colorful explosions in Speed Racer gave me the idea to just have them start shooting off in every direction as the horizontal stripes progressed. It’s kind of a logistical nightmare but I love how it’s looking.

Totally! This is a Schacht Flip Loom, the 25″ model. 

You should be able to find a dealer that’s local to you, or at least in your part of the world on their website

These are cards 11-20 from my Arcanadrome playthrough over on my Patreon - using tarot to help with world-building for writing & ttrpgs.

I’ve been taking a pic for each card that matches the piece of micro-fiction I write for it. They’re from the Linestrider Deck which has artwork by Siolo Thompson.

1-10

new piece in progress :)

If you’re a fan of the mothed man like I am, then you might enjoy my new romance novella “To The Flame,” coming out in early 2020 from @ninestarpress!

Set in a fictional West Virginia college town, it’s about a non-binary crust punk mothman being pursued by a Seattle boy with absolutely no self-preservation instincts.

You can add this book on Goodreads now! Coming out Feb 3rd :D 

And it has the perfect cover:

2019 is the year I fell in love with worm on a string, and this was the best way I could think to show it.

Warp is Cascade 220

Weft is Cascade 220 and Worm On A String

I recently posted my tarot-based world building game “Arcanadrome” on itch.io and I’ve really been enjoying my first playthrough - each new card is the chance to come up with another element of my sci-fi world, and the associated piece of micro-fiction is a great way to introduce as many interesting, unique trans characters as I can. 

I’ve been posting my entries to my Patreon page at the $2 tier along with pics of each card from the Linestrider Deck as I pull them, but the first 4 posts are open to everyone, not just patrons.

My room-mate recently released a line of knit pattern fabric on Spoonflower, and they’re gorgeous!

Hi! I published a new short historical fiction story today. Set in 1960, It’s called The Lemon King and you can find it on kindle. It combines 2 things I’m passionate about: Making It Gay™, and exhaustive research. Here are a couple things it’s about: 

• Prejudicial gay rights rulings 

• The California juvenile justice system 

• The Corona citrus industry 

• Gay saints and the catholic school boys who identify with them 

• Kennedy in context 

• What I thought Paul Simon’s “Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard” was about  

I’m a little anxious to share it because it means a lot to me. I tried to find a fit for it in a lot of different anthologies and zines but the length and niche genre meant it never quite fit anywhere, so I’m self-publishing, which is new to me.

If you’d like to support a bi non-binary author during #PRIDEMONTH i’d love for you to throw a couple dollars my way, and hopefully you enjoy the story!
