Terror Brainworms: I Had To Make A Welsh-wig.

I decided not to do the 'curls' as they are on the show because they absolutely *eat* yarn and I didn't have that much left of this grey (that matches my Terror-inspired fingerless gloves). I think these garter-stitched double-ups will be just as effective as curls or bobbles would be for the purpose of a welsh-wig (they stop water dripping down the back of your coat).

Terror Brainworms: I Had To Make A Welsh-wig.

I made them by knitting the current row of stitches together with picked up stitches from a row 7 rows previous (basically - pick up a stitch from row 7 rows behind, knit it together with current stitch, pick up new stitch...and so on).

This is in dk-weight (8ply) 100% wool at 6 stitches per inch, like my gloves (not historical as it's not fine enough, but yarn I had on hand, plus some close-but-not-that-close darker yarn when I ran out, which I think they definitely would do in the 1840s). I feel like one (at least) of the Terror boys would have mended their wig with some other yarn!

I've put this on Eric, a stuffed hippo, who is why my tumblr is called 'hippocrafty' - the original plan was for Eric to model my crafts. I'm a) cursed to live in a warm & fairly dry climate & b) have long hair, so I won't get much use out of a welsh-wig for its original purpose, but it's a warm comfy beanie with a bit more to keep my neck & ears warm when I have my hair up so I'm very happy with it.

My Bobbin-lace Off The Pins. Still Monochrome To Keep The Secret Of What Colour It Is In The Remote Chance

My bobbin-lace off the pins. Still monochrome to keep the secret of what colour it is in the remote chance my friend reads my tumblr. I wound too much thread onto the bobbins so I probably have enough to do a second one now 😃

my favorite part about henry collins is that he would be having a bad time in every timeline. he's your coworker that's always fighting battles. he's hitting his bong on his smoke break and having a panic attack on shift. he gets in fights w squirrels he doesn't start and does lose. you would have LOVED ssris and weed induced psychosis ‼️‼️‼️

You're 100% spot on here - Sumner's an addict written by someone who's never used! And very interesting take on recovery also!

So I need to babble about a contrast I noticed between two 'cold boys in boats' shows: The Terror and The North Water. So, in The North Water, Jack O'Connell is wonderful as ship's surgeon Patrick Sumner.

But, and this is a regretful but, a decision made by his character/the show's writers just straight up *busted* the show for me. He's supposedly (due to complex backstory reasons) addicted to laudanum/opium. Yet, in the third ep, he apparently decides to send *his whole supply* off with someone else, to somewhere else, and, it being the heckin' arctic, therefore loses it. I remember straight-up pausing the show to go rant to my partner "Is it this bitch's first day as a drug addict? He didn't even keep *any* on his person at all times? Come the heck on!"

Where in The Terror, after three years stuck in ice, this absolute madlad, Mr Blanky, still has his tobacco for his last smoke, on his person, at all times:

And gleefully takes it while waiting for the monsterbear to kill him. *That's* a sailor with an addiction I can believe in!
