You've found Olivia's blog! Sometimes I write stuff. Queer. She/her. Located on a coast.

Thoughts that are mutual between cats and their people:

  1. Yeah you're cute when you sleep but you didn't let me sleep either so I'm going to annoy you now because I'm bored. Hahah get poked, sleepy idiot.
  2. How do you not comprehend this when I am literally staring at you. Like I understand that your brain can't understand things this nuanced but come on, how do you not get this.
  3. I don't know if you know that what I am currently doing is an expression of affection, but that won't stop me. Knowing that I showed you that I love you is enough.
  4. I heard a crinkly material and the sound of you chewing so I have to know what's in your mouth RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
  5. I can't communicate with you and you can't communicate with me, so I'm just copying the tone of the sound you're making in hopes that you understand that I try.
  6. You are doing activities beyond my comprehension, and I find this fascinating. I will never understand what the fuck you are trying to achieve here, but I am intrigued nonetheless.
  7. Hey are you ok, you haven't done your weird thing in a while. Yeah I don't get why you do that but I know you do that when you're ok.

Learning how to weave! After a brief attempt at card weaving, I discovered pick-up weaving and immediately switched over to weaving with a heddle. And since I need to make everything as complicated as possible, I'm working on creating my own patterns as I learn.

Still figuring out how to maintain an even tension when I move my set up around. Ultimately, I'll get a loom and that should solve most of my issues. They're a tad wonky, but I'm pleased with my patterns and excited to come up with more! :))

Here's a peek at what playing around with these patterns looked like on paper!

The red and white speckled effect reminded me of mushrooms, so I turned all the houses into mushrooms for my last repeat. I also added in a fox (mostly successfully) and tried to turn the hill into a hobbit hole (less successfully). I'll iron out these motifs in a future band!

The ducks were my first attempt at creating a pattern and you can see how much I adjusted things as I went along! (The left being the beginning and the right the end)

I've learned a LOT about pick up pattern creation by working on these guys, especially where one should and shouldn't add pick-ups/push-downs. I'll continue tweaking these patterns as I learn more and hopefully have a nice proper pattern to share with you all at some point!

call me sentimental but every now and then i catch myself thinking about the people who lived thousands of years ago, and loved and grieved, the people whose graves i wrote about in a paper. i may not know your names. i will never know your names. but this morning i went outside and i poured some of my drink on the ground and i watched it seep into the soil and i thought of you.

I love how this shows how real artists drawing a thing aren't just representing the thing, but showing you what THEY found beautiful in it.
