Authoritarian communists. Think Stalinists, and people who support regimes like the CCP. The top left of the political compass.
My most active WIP right now is this doll that I am cobbling together based on this piece of Halloween flash (the pool player): I'm currently making a doll sized dress shirt in #10 thread based on a hexagon sweater design and it's kind of coming together? There's a lot of free handing happening.
I've been crocheting for about one year now.
I started off when my brain decided that it only wanted crochet after seeing a few videos of people making blankets for reasons beyond me. I used to knit a bit, but could never figure out how to knit in the round. I picked up crocheting in the round pretty fast and that sealed the deal for me.
I'm pretty good at working with thread. I got into a snowflake kick last December after inheriting my great grandmother's steel hooks. That gave me confidence to get into fillet lace, which has led to my current attempt at making doll clothes. I find that lighter yarn weights are way easier on my wrists as well (which means that I'm putting off working on my worsted weight temperature blanket even more...). But messing around with lace has made me very comfortable with reading charts.
I want to learn more about garment construction. The doll clothes are helping me a bit with that, but turning shapes that are not circles and squares into wearables hasn't clicked yet.
