A while ago I read about autistic people and nesting somewhere & I think we don't talk about that enough. Apparently, a lot of autistic people like nesting. I love nesting. I carefully choose a space to build my nest and I bring all my little trinkets there. I surround myself with everything I love and everything I could possibly need in the next few hours- my water bottle, a snack, my weighted blanket, my soft blanket, hand creme, my headphones, my charger, my favorite stuffed animals- so I don't have to leave the nest to get anything. It makes me feel save and calm and like everything is gonna be ok. This is a nesting appreciation post. Any other autistics who love a good nest?

God i could go for a nest right about now

I love when my friends know me well. :D

oh--part of one of my dreams this morning was a TV show about managing your possessions in a Konmari-kind of way

but

the show itself was presented like one of those ghost hunting shows

I later realized the show might very well have been called

Posessions

AHHHHHHHHHH hahahaehe

Are you HAUNTED by YOUR PAST?

CONFRONT your POSESSIONS

MAKE PEACE WITH THEM

ALLOW them to CROSS OVER...out the door

GET the SPIRIT and LOVE YOUR STUFF

This is such a great intersection of my interests (ghosts, organization, dreams, etc)

Itty Bitty Body Parts

Itty Bitty Body Parts are infinitesimal internal organs! Are you a micro mad scientist or a minuscule mortician? These 14 tiny organs, between 3/4" and 1-1/4" long, are made of soft vinyl and are perfect for teaching anatomy or grossing out friends

I thought those kidneys were tardigrades, but that’s another product.

This is a lovely example of how you can cover up a hole with embroidery!

One suggestion to make this mend last longer is to fix the hole first, for example by sewing on a small patch on the back or by darning it, and then adding the embroidery on top.

Vintage Patterns are fun, but also kinda weird ( as in unfamiliar). This sock is knitted on three dpn four dpn needles instead of five ( all sts for the instep are on one needle) and the instep is knitted flat and later it will be joined with the heel and sole...i will see how it goes.

But i love the pattern.

Which pattern are you using?

The Pattern is “Kaleidoscope by Patons & Baldwins” it was published in  Beehive Book No. 113, Socks and it is free on Ravelry or better said Ravelry links to Archive.org.

For those who can´t use Ravelry, here is the direct link: https://archive.org/details/Patons_113_Socks_by_Beehive/page/n1/mode/2up

I want to knit nearly every sock from that booklet, but first i need to see how this sock fits my foot.

Short update to the sock.

You knit the instep separate first, then the heel than the gusset. You only join both "flappy things" when you start knitting the toe.

It is honestly the weirdest looking sock, with a lot of loose ends, which need to be woven in, i have ever knit.

I still love it...haha.

Nearly finished the sock. Need to sew the "side seams" and weave in the ends...

I'm thinkingnof filming the making of the second sock, but i never filmed anything. I don't know...

Okay, i finished the first sock and steamed it a little on my sock blocker. It just sits perfectly. And you can't feel the seam at all - stitched them with back stitch as i normally do.

I'm amazed.

Some finds I came across in PA this last weekend

The crucifixion ala seashells

A wooden elephant puppet I wish I had space for

A very unique copy of scarface

One traumatized Peppa Pig

Concernly disproportionate mickey mouse

An Ernest that still haunts my dreams

And a bootleg Pikachu beanie baby I did end up buying.

Holy fuck, I had that Ernest doll as a kid! The neighbor-kid broke the pull string, alas. (Pretty sure my parents were happy about that.)

I love that he has his box, but it looks too scuffed to be worth $80. Knock it down to $60 and we might talk. :3
