The most devilishly sneaksome craftress of the Maison de Cles

Look at her poise, look at the mischief in her eyes

i saw a crocheted jester hat on pinterest and thought that it would go really well with those granny square slippers.

with this in mind, i finally created my own The Knitter™ OC. i call him the Jestar⭐. he crochets and his abilities change based on the hat he wears. he steals people's leftover yarn and his weapon of choice is a crocheted morning star named "Stashbuster".

anyways, i'm definitely going to craft that outfit. and true to the lore i should probably make it from leftovers. i just need to find matching colours...

Ok so does anybody remember when Tumblr created a dc villain named The Knitter? Because I have remembered it and I’m having a very strong urge to make his monsters the knittens but I can’t find a premade pattern anywhere 😭

Hi, sorry to bother you but I'm curious about your oc, Purl.

I see you've found The Knitter comics!

Purl is not especially my OC- she's based on the initial post by @bespectacledbookworm, with a character design by @fernacular

At this point I made the comic and art 12 years ago, so I don't have much to say about her that isn't in the comic, and I'm unlikely to continue anything.

I'm glad you enjoyed her though! I think she's pretty cool!

Hi

So hey. Umm I've come over here to say that I've started to write a story about the Knitter on Ao3. I was scrolling through Pinterest one day and I saw the post of it. I've seen the post before, I knew the story, but I wanted to know more. So I researched Tumblr's First (?) Anti-hero.

From what I could find (the Knitter was created back in like 2012 please don't blame me) there was no origin story for this anti hero.

Which was weird to me, yk? People had made fanart of this character, villains and sidekicks. Someone even wrote and drew a short comic on how Purl and Knitter met. People have cosplayed and made his creatures in real life with yarn. But nowhere, that I could find, an origin story; no quick fanfic, no comic or webcomic, no talk from the og artist or from the Knitter himself about the origins. There was nothing.

[Well this is from what I could find, if there is something out there I would gladly love to see it, its just that I spent hours combing through the knitter tag to try to find an origin story, I really wanted to read it, but I couldn't find one.]

So in a sudden idea and a very impulsive move, I decided to make Knitter his origin story.

Why did I decide to do that? I have no idea. I can barely write and I have never written a story like this before. But I did it,

Sort of.

The first chapter is out so is the 'author's note' but that was awhile ago, and now I'm trying to continue the story. I've just been a little tired lately.

So if anyone actually read through this or sees it here is

WHY WASN'T I ON TUMBLR WHEN THE KNITTER WAS A THING?!
