ysabet left a link to a knitted kitten pattern in a journal entry. Months later, I finally decided to try adapting it to crochet.
Here are the results:
While I didn't think it turned out that well at the time, looking at the photos I think it's actually cuter than I gave it credit for. I may see my way towards making a crochet pattern for it, since there doesn't seem to be one linked there. I should probably look over a few crochet patterns myself first, though; need to know what to actually call those stitches -_-a
If you remember the giant mp3 player I got for my birthday? I've been playing it on my bus to positive response, and am now looking for more kid appropriate music to play on it. The kids on my bus are all special needs elementary students. So far, D*sney songs have been a hit, but I don't actually have many that are in English, so more would be great. Also good would be probably any opening songs for cartoons you can think of, but bonus points if someone has the SpongeBob theme. Anything else you can think of that kids of that age bracket might enjoy would be A++ But with a slight caveat that the songs can't have swearing or mention killing. (That was the song policy at my toy store job, so I assume it's the minimum for a bus of elementary students.) Thanks in advance ♥
A new Librarian movie was on yesterday night, which I thought about watching, but didn't in the end; I suppose I can blame lingering disappointment over the second movie's lack of Nicole Noone, and the introduction of a new romantic interest with no explanation as to what had happened to the previous one. It appears our main character got another new romantic interest in the most recent movie, which. Has to do with vampires. I'm honestly not sure what to feel about that, aside from gleeful cackles about how the new testament is really just a story about the undead and how they just want to be loved and treated with respect. I just asked my roommate, who did watch it, and he said there was some attempt at explanation for the Mysteriously Vanishing Girlfriends, but I found it unsatisfactory at best: apparently, they dump him because he's spending more time on the job than with them. I mean, what? How were either of the previous girlfriends (Nicole especially) not out there with him on every mission, huh? Laaaaame! DO BETTER, WRITERS. While some explanation is better than no explanation, this still stinks suspiciously of Beauty And The Geek Syndrome to me.
In completely different news, I am also entirely too enamored of this video. And the entire internet has probably seen it already without me, s-sob.
