Okay maybe ‘finished’ is a strong word; all the ends need weaving in (there are so many of them 😭) and I haven’t bought anything to back it with yet but I CAST IT OFF THIS EVENING I’m calling it finished I’m taking the win
The lighting in the photo really isn’t great but here she is in all her glory:
I’m so freaking happy with it
I know a few people asked about the pattern but I don’t have a written one as I just drew up a chart myself and went for it (my second fair isle project ever, and the first was a bauble. I was not ready for this but man I’m glad I just decided to jump I to the deep end because I am obsessed with the result), however I did put up a screenshot of the drawing I used to make my chart a little while ago and if anyone would like me to repost that with my grid superimposed over it and to explain how I did it and what size yarn and needles and everything I used then let me know and I will try to create an explanatory post
I AM SO EXCITED
In other grishaverse knitting news: I haven’t worked on the Kefta in ages tbh but I think I have one sleeve to go before the embroidery I just hate sleeves lol so I’ve been procrastinating and also just generally busy to be fair, and also did I tell y’all I knitted Wylan’s toy crow? I can’t remember, but yeah in my collection of toy crows of the Crows I now have Jesper and Wylan and they sit on my shelf together looking so damn cute. Jesper has a lil hat that he wears at a fun angle and Wylan has lil goggles on his head and a bomb tucked under his wing hehe

If nothing else, as a historian every time I get scared at the state of the world I have to remind myself that "uninteresting times" is a myth.
The world has always been in the throes of chaos and violence and fear, just in different ways and to different degrees. The anxieties of the past are no less real than our own, and we can learn from them. Normality and peace are fleeting, but we can always strive to increase those moments. We have to keep hoping and working for a better future. It's all we have. We may not succeed, but if we don't try, what are we living for?

my heart is breaking all over again because of the ma meilleure ennemie music video
"I actually like Kaz's hat and think it's cunty," I say into the mic.
The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.
"She's right," they say. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 3rd row stands: Inej Ghafa
“So I’ll be scaling the train instead,” Inej finishes. “I remember.”
“Scaling the train while it’s moving,” Kaz stresses, narrowing his eyes at her. “Get inside the locomotive and make the conductor stop. The tracks will be destroyed, so the conductor would need to stop either way, but you’ll need to subdue him. Make him tell the passengers that they’ve stopped for maintenance. If we panic the pigeons, they’ll be more difficult to work with. Jesper and I will start at the first car, and Matthias and Nina will hit the last. We’ll reconvene in the middle.”
Inej’s hands shake as she says: “We’re robbing them, and then leaving. We aren’t harming anyone.”
Kaz’s head dips. “Unless they make things difficult.”
“Kaz. I won’t kill anyone. I won’t kill innocent passengers.”
He scoffs at her. “Yes, your holiness, you’ve made yourself clear. We’ll see about that.”
