Why linen stitch? 🧶❤️🌺

And above all: When?

Linen stitch produces a dense, not very stretchy fabric, which will lie flat without curling.

Because it has a much tighter gauge than stocking stitch or garter stitch, it takes a little longer to knit but has some very interesting uses.

I’ve used it for coasters (find the free pattern for the Honky Tonk Coasters on my website), I really like using it for button bands and at the moment I’m exploring how its gauge can be combined with other stitches. Stay tuned!

This is how to work the linen stitch:

Right side: knit a stitch, slip the next one purlwise with the yarn in front (and repeat)

Wrong side: slip the knitted stitch purlwise with the yarn in the back, purl the next stitch (and repeat)

The Honky Tonk Coaster

The linen stitch is quite unique among knitting stitches: it is not stretchy and it does not curl at the edges. In other words, it is the id

[odinoddly]

This is like knitting moss stitch and I am so here for it

“Sometimes i think you love your people more than god loves them, Kathryn.”

bringing together all my kathryn janeway terror/voyager crossover sketches into one place because @fate-motif keeps torturing me with this idea (originally based on this post)

[romans-art]

the thing about this setting is that it can be a true Terror/Voyager crossover AU but in my mind it's more of a holonovel that Janeway has been running ever since her father and fiance died on the ice planet of Tau Ceti Prime, in which she could have saved one of them but didn't act fast enough, so she lost both of them and then fell into a deep deep depression.

the Doomed Arctic Exploration holoprogram is her way of dealing with the black dog on her back. It's a self-flagellation device, a torment nexus of her own design, her own personal Kobayashi Maru. The point isn't that haha Janeway could bring Terror and Erebus back home, but Crozier couldn't bring back Voyager. The point is that Janeway already thinks she can't bring Voyager back home, but she staunchly refuses to allow herself to lose that hope to begin with.

Her worst days aren't when she loads up the holoprogram to suffer on the ice and watch her crewmen die. Her worst days are when she locks herself in her quarters for months of endless darkness in space and cannot bring herself to even care enough to wash her hair.

Anyway have another frosty Janeway

“If I had time travel I’d kill Hitler” “If I had time travel I’d stop my favourite politician getting assassinated” you’re all thinking way too small. If I had time travel I’d stop Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from dying on the moon due to Soviet sabotage, kicking off the Great Nuclear War and devastating half of the planet.

“[Keanu] Reeves said a recent conversation about “The Matrix” with a 15-year-old put things into a terrifying perspective. The actor explained to the teenager that his character, Neo, is fighting for what’s real. The teenager scoffed and said, “Who cares if it’s real?” “People are growing up with these tools: We’re listening to music already that’s made by AI in the style of Nirvana, there’s NFT digital art,” Reeves said. “It’s cool, like, Look what the cute machines can make! But there’s a corporatocracy behind it that’s looking to control those things. Culturally, socially, we’re gonna be confronted by the value of real, or the non-value. And then what’s going to be pushed on us? What’s going to be presented to us?” “It’s this sensorium. It’s spectacle. And it’s a system of control and manipulation,” Reeves continued. “We’re on our knees looking at cave walls and seeing the projections, and we’re not having the chance to look behind us.””

Keanu Reeves Slams Deepfakes, Film Contract Prevents Digital Edits - Variety

[invertprivileges]

[unwontedfemme]

“What’s frustrating about that is you lose your agency,” Reeves continued about deepfakes. “When you give a performance in a film, you know you’re going to be edited, but you’re participating in that. If you go into deepfake land, it has none of your points of view. That’s scary.”

Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans, Michael Pangrazio, Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie ! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.

There are more background paintings on this article, featuring comments by the masters/artists themselves ! 

Some of the following pieces were made by other artists 2:

[firey-rising-demon-deactivated2]

I love this because I’ll be watching a movie and think “how did they do that? Is that a building they built for this movie? Was it there beforehand? Is it cardboard or CGI? Is that actually some place on Earth that they’re filming?” And the answer to all of these now is “nope, that’s a painting”. I can’t believe some of the most iconic, familiar shots were paintings!

Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]

[retro-geek-deactivated20220412]

For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.

[karinanotcinerina]

Beautiful.

Now I’m crying thanks

[sapphic-matriarchy]

and a new cat was hired right?

[clarenecessities]

yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy

she works very hard

I’m crying at 11pm over train cats

[sighinastorm]

Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016).  There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.

^Nitama majestic, and below with Yontama

Yontama.

a legacy

[bemusedlybespectacled]

okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back

[kindaoffkilter]

“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]

As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.

You can’t not reblog a goddess. It’s just what’s so. :)

So, fun fact- the manga Noragami has an arc where the main character, Yato (a minor kami/God that is down on his luck but trying to make it big time) goes to a council/conference for all the Gods in Japan.

And they are announcing the winner of the “up and coming god” award, and of course, Yato thinks it’s him.

But no-

ITS TAMA!

[dduane]

I will not see Manhattan again. But if I can I will damn well take the train to Nitama’s home station, some one of these days, and hope to greet the shrine of the Honorable Eternal Station Master.
