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.
yknow what yeah I think that's just about how anyone would react in this situation. fair enough.
alright this isn't how just Anyone would behave in this situation but I'm humble enough to admit that there have been times in my life when I was doing badly enough that I'd probably also fumble it like this
This was an incredible undertaking of adapting the entire Unwanted Guest script over the course of roughly 9 months. I am so proud of the work everyone turned in. You can read the entire comic in full right now at the link above, along with the full list of contributors!
This blog will reblog the full res pages from each contributor over the next couples of days, so get excited for that! We also have something very special cooking up with the people over at @entombed-theatrics so look forward to that as well. Thank you so much for reading!
'Time's up,' [Palamedes] said. 'Give this to Cam for me, will you?' [...]
[And when Nona] lifted up Camilla's hand to press her mouth to it, all Camilla said was, 'Thanks.' And she almost didn't flinch.

so if you don't know, there's different counting methods and the duodecimal finger counting has a base of 12 and allows you to count to 144 with your two hands.
your thumb is the pointer to count the bones in your fingers (i.e. 3 bones in 4 fingers, a total of 12) and you keep track of each full set with your other hand in the same way.
the way i remembered it as starting with the top digit of your index finger and go down and then across to the next finger — but when i did some quick research, i also saw starting from the top of the pinkie going down and across, and others starting from the index and going across the top digits,,,,,, soo. idk i suppose it depends on the orientation of your primary written language i.e. you read left to right so you count left to right and whatnot.
ANYWAY!!! the way i remembered it means that the base of the second finger is number six babyy thank you for coming to my ted talk this book didn't make me insane

also what if when palamedes was tied to his hand bones, camilla brought them out when she was alone, a lonely cavalier with the remnants of her necromancer, and maybe one time she holds the bones like he's there and has his hand out and she kisses the second knuckle
and then when he transfers to camilla's body and he kisses nona's second knuckle to pass on as a message, camilla bluescreens because he truly was there in the bones truly aware truly remembers,, what then??
“...So I dropped to my knees here, right … I scooped dirt into my mouth … ate until I vomited. I gathered up the bloody earth … I realised you were too much for me. This is the problem, the incorporation, this is the hardest part … It’s the human instinct, to take. When you burn your thumb, you stick it in your mouth, right? And there was still too much of me that was just a human being.”

Comic I had the opportunity to do for @thelockedtombcfp and @theriverbeyond! Thank you <3

ID: Digital drawing of Lucretia, seen twice. The image is cut in half diagonally, with a young Lucretia at the top and an older one at the bottom. Young Lucretia glances up and smiles; she holds a book close to her chest. Older Lucretia is turned away, looking down, frowning. They both clutch a white oak staff at the center of the image, which swirls with white energy. End ID.
