i saw these really cute ceramic containers at the store yesterday but they had candles in them orz

i don’t care for scented candles and it seems like a waste to buy them and then toss the candles?? But i can definitely use the containers for my sewing room… im flummoxed…

#they spark SUCH joy #but im trying not to impulse buy rn #mimis life

I’m sewing a raggedy karkat for a thing :)

All my “grade A” flowers so far.

I’ve mainly worked in two types of thread: doubled up DMC skeins and classic crochet thread. Pros and cons of each:

DMC thread:

Gives lovely definition to the petals, even on camera

Different shades can be combined to give more definition and depth

It more difficult to work with; the threads want to come apart

The length limits the amount of petals I can work into the rose

Crochet thread:

Comes in a big spool and is therefore more cost effective for the yardage of thread

Easier to crochet

Doubles up just as well on cards

I can make larger roses

Looks puffier/ fuzzier on camera= less elegant and refined look :(

The first on the bottom row is a combination of the rose base with the flower petals (3 chain, 6 triple crochet, 3 chain instead of 6-8 double crochets into the v-stitch). It makes more of a carnation than a rose :)

I am getting better at making them too :)

Second from the right on the top row is my favorite. Tomorrow my new hooks will come in and I can re-fresh on the technique. I think it would be nice to make an ornament with all four divine colors. If I can’t quite manage her rainbow hair ornament.

These are the tutorials I used:

I finally jumped the shark and made a 61 ch rose by joining two skeins of embroidery thread. I rolled it up to see how it would look. It will be added to the teeny tiny little pile of unfinished roses for now. They will all be sewn up into shape in a big batch.

For comparison 31 chain equals 12 petals. The right picture is two 31 chains crocheted separately and then sewn together.

She’s not done yet but I’m already so much happier. I styled the first version in the hotel room with my first and last epic cosplay wig.

I crocheted her flowers waiting in line for a panel, and they look like they’re melting on the wig. It was the best I could do with the time crunch. 91 ch vs 61 ch vs 31 ch btw.

This year is gonna be so much better! ☺️

Samples for Myne’s hair ornament. I’m mainly trying to nail down the technique and tension, thread weight and hook size.

One skein was too thin to work with using a 3.75mm hook. Those trials were the white thread.

I trialed 2 skeins (814 & 815) with a 2.75mm hook. That’s the red one. I like it a lot better, but I’d rather a hook size between the two. It was hard to keep that much thread in the hook.

Next is a 31 ch rose with the two skeins.

The real question is: did Tuuli and Effa outsource the making of the crocheted/ lacework flowers for Rozemyne’s academy dress, or did they make them all themselves?

And doubly so for her Renaissance dress. Those flowers are very large roses, and would have taken that much more work, even if they’re working with larger spools of thread than I have embroidery floss skeins (8 meters/ 8.7 yd).

I’ve made many test versions trying to nail down type of thread, ratio of the types of threads, number of threads, and experimenting with the pattern. I’m currently up to 8 of the final flowers. The individual flowers are being doubled to form larger flowers for better scale. So I have enough to make 4 roses so far, after about two or three weeks of off-on crocheting. (Of note, today I learned how to join skeins, so I may well get larger roses from here on out…)

Though I have noticed I can now make two in a day if I stretch myself, it begs the question of how many hours of work went into these roses in universe, considering thread costs, the cost of lamp oil (if the family is now taking their income and using it on oil for better lighting and not continuing to just rely on the hearth light). Did they outsource any of them to others in the Gilberta company? Was it winter handiwork over a whole season? Multiple seasons? Does Tuuli have forearms of steel and tendinitis from all the crocheting she does? The world may never know…

(Also, see Myne making a five petal flower using the same base technique as the roses use. I can tell because the thread curls up like that with the chain/ v stitches/ double crochets pattern.)
