#mikeys crochet adventures

crocheting the first of maybe five beanies and I T H I N K i've accidentally been doing increases bc I don't have stitchmarkers and therefore have kind of lost the plot in where I'm supposed to slipknot the rows, but I have four other hats to make and at least three other ones I can learn off of, so I'm just gonna hope I'm wrong about doing increases and use one of the other hooks I have as a stitchmarker so that I don't lose the plot again lol

I’m bored and have a bunch of Raphael head cannons in my head that I want to get out:
• Raphael is an astrology girly. He has a collection of crystals and got master splinter to recount the day he was mutated to get his main three.
• Raph collects animal friends like they’re Pokémon. Cats, pigeons, frogs, rats, ect. Basically anything he can get his hands on.
• One time he rescued an egg he found in the sewers. To his surprise, it actually hatched. Gender? Baby alligator.
• He calls them his children and says he birthed them himself. Raphael even photoshopped them in ultra sound photos to ‘prove it’.
• The only reason he has a cat is because it was a start he used to feed. Master Splinter sighed and said he could keep it, because he couldn’t bare to see his son this sad after Spikes ‘death’-the pet turtle he’s had for around 10 years.
• Raphael also found one of those baby carriers you wear on your stomach at the dump one time. He puts the cat in it, who so happened to love it.
• He kept Spikes tank, bc he just couldn’t let it go. And had sewn a stuffed animal version of Spike, that sits on his shelf. Whenever he’s upset, he talks/rants to it because he hasn’t quite learnt to share his feelings yet.
• Mikey made him a comic called The Adventures of Raph and Spike to try and make him feel better.
•It consisted of real and fake adventures Raph and Spike have gone through from ages 5 until now.
• Raphael hugged him and straight up cried from it
• Raph knits/crochets. He’s made little hats and outfit for the cat.
• One time, for the fun of it, he made Mikey a dress. Mikey hugged him, because it’s a gift his grumpy brother made him. He wears it religiously.
• Leo asked him how long it took to make. He said a week or something. The brothers were simply impressed at the dedication to this joke gift that Mikey ended up loving.

Let Me Introduce Myself
Hi there! 
I’m Alice. I live in the Pacific North West. I’m a graduate student and a teacher. I live with my partner and their family. My pronouns are She/Her, I am cisgendered.
I started this blog in 2011. I had abandoned it in 2016. I think I can make this an interesting place now. 
I love music, cats, Star Wars, and anime, My current faves are Tokyo Revengers, Demon Slayer, and Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. I like to knit, crochet, play video. games, read, and write. I would like to try my hand at a Tokyo Revenger fanfic. If I do write any fic, I will start a blog for that specifically. 
The Toman members who make me giddy are Baji (<3) , Kazutora, Mikey, Draken,  and Shuji. I also love Emma and Shinchiro. My favorite Jostar’s are Jolene, Jotoro, Josuke. I also love Kakyoin, Polnaref, and Karrs. I’m also an Itachi stan.
I am a pagan, a bisexual, and a goat whisperer. I paint my nails on a weekly basis and I like to wear very glam make up (when I’m not too depressed to do it). I have a calico cat who will knock at my door when she wants cuddles. 
I own a crafting business where I make a lot of random shit, I specialize in making blankets. I am going to eventually enter one in the state fair. 
My ideal way to leave this mortal coil is in the fire filled maw of a volcano. If I can’t go that way, I want to pass peacefully in a garden of roses, lilacs, and lavender. 
My favorite books are cheesy romance novels, Star Wars books, random books i found at Big Lots for $3. I currently have like 60% of Christine Feehan’s works, the Carpathian novels re to die for. I also love Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn novels. That being said, I have a HUGE TBR list.
IMPORTANT: My tumblr is NOT a place for anyone under the age of 18. I WILL block you if you follow me or interact with me. 
I will occasionally post ranty, possibly really dark/sad, things. I have a lot of things that I am working through. Maybe a selfie? Who knows.
My tags will be listed below. More will come. My asks are open.

18 Reasons Why You Should Climb the Ladder
18 Reasons Why You Should Climb the Ladder
Twisting Braid Crochet Blanket The crochet ladder-stitch could also be called Jacob’s Ladder. It also looks like the braiding of chains that interlock with each other. The way this stitch can puzzle together has me gagging in excitement. Daniel did a project called the Crochet Polish Star Pillow with this type of concept. Just stuns me half to death. Gagging: Slang term something is so fierce you…

The Frivolist: Six Way Gay Things to Get into Right Now
(Photo: Varsity Gay League)
One of the best parts of my job as an LGBT lifestyle expert is discovering all the dynamic new people, places and things expected to interest the LGBT community. Some do, some don’t – I sift through A LOT of duds, in fact (like the travel-size cold-sore medicine one PR hack pitched me for years because he thought it would make a great stocking stuffer at Christmastime) – but every once in a while I stumble upon a few gems to tell you about it. As such, here’s what I’m into right now – and you might be too.
1. REVRY LGBT Streaming Service
You have to tip your feathered caps to Netflix, Hulu and other popular streaming services for providing (for the most part) satisfying LGBT programming options, like trans creator Jill Soloway’s award-winning “Transparent” over at Amazon. But now you can effectively eliminate all the hetero noise clogging up your queues and go full “queerated content” thanks to REVRY, the first dedicated LGBTQ+ digital streaming platform. Available on Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, plus iOS and Android devices (with Pluto.tv and Amazon Fire capabilities coming soon), REVRY, which recently celebrated its first anniversary, features original content like “3030,” a series about platonic black lesbian roommates living in Las Vegas; the newly added Bob the Drag Queen comedy special, “Suspiciously Large Woman”; as well as international shows and movies, like the subtitled “Free Fall”, characterized as the German “Brokeback Mountain”. Spoiler alert: They bang in the woods using nature’s lube.
2. Varsity Gay League
When I lived in Manhattan I was a regular on the social sports scene – both “straight” and gay leagues – playing a wide range of activities, including bowling, kickball, dodgeball, trivia and cornhole (and yaaas, competitive cornhole is totally considered a sport, queen). When I left NYC for life in a small beach community on the Jersey Shore, however, being part of these teams was among the things I missed most. That could all change soon, though, as I was recently introduced to Varsity Gay League, which is celebrating its milestone 10th anniversary this year. VGL is the largest sports league in California with more than 8,000 members, and it has outposts in San Diego, San Francisco, Long Beach, Sacramento, Austin, Orlando and Portland, with plans to add other major cities to meet demand. I’m currently in talks with the league’s founder Will Hackner to bring VGL to my part of the world, and if you think your city might benefit from this organized homo-raderie, hit ’em up on Twitter @vglsocal.
3. OUTshine on the Sea
Earlier this year I attended the 10-day OUTshine LGBT film festival in Miami – which featured some of the best LGBT films I have ever seen (not an exaggeration; find French-Canadian film “1:54” and have a box of Kleenex handy) – and I’m pretty pumped for OUTshine on the Sea, the fest’s seven-night Eastern Caribbean Cruise (hitting Nassau, Punta Cana and St. Thomas), from February 17 to 23, 2018, aboard Celebrity Equinox. If you’re a film and cruise lover – two of my favorite things! – pack your movie-marathon sweatpants and let’s gain 10 pounds of popcorn weight on the open ocean together.
4. Hornet App
If you’re fed up with all the blatant racism on your gay dating/hookup apps, take a break and zip into Hornet, a gay social-networking app oddly popular in France, Russia, Brazil, Turkey and Taiwan (you want to expand your horizons, right?), but whose user base is consistently growing here at home. Aside from finding like minded men nearby (the app includes a GPS component just like Grindr and the gang), you can tap into and share LGBT-focused new stories on its companion website UnicornBooty.com; discover local queer hotspots around your home and when you’re traveling; and keep your social calendar lit with curated homocentric events.
5. Ascension Asbury Park
After years of false starts and delayed gentrification, Asbury Park, New Jersey is now a full-fledged LGBT destination for gay men and lesbians alike. There’s no shortage of “fam”-friendly places to stay (you won’t be disappointed with a night at the celebrated Asbury Hotel), dine (upscale Mexi-joint Barrio Costero has margies to die for), and get your swerve on (the pool at Paradise is always poppin’ after midnight on Saturdays during the summer). But if you really want to throw your weekend getaway into overdrive, swoop into town for Ascension, Aug. 4 to 6, featuring 11 high-octane events, including tea dances, beach bashes and glow parties taken to new heights by 14 DJs and thousands of prospective half-night stands.
6. Handmade Sexy Time
My boyfriend and I are adventurous, especially when it comes to our bodies and bedroom activity, and we had an arousing at-home date night with Haus of Betch’s hand-crocheted jock straps – it was like Captain America himself was calling me hither in his blue three-starred weiner basket (sorry, no photos) – and an arts-and-crafts project making vibrating dildos of our own dicks with kits from Clone-A-Willy. The latter was a bit stressful because the process moved ultra-fast – we had to get and stay hard while mixing the plaster at an exact 90 degrees and cast our cocks in under three minutes! – but we shared laughs along the way, amazing sex afterward, and now we’ve got life-size replicas of our own wieners that we’ll probably just use to go fuck ourselves whenever we have a tiff. (Sorry; still no photos.)

I am making this post so that I can reblog when I am finally done with making all of the hats I have to make (One down, one started, three to go) and start a project that will involve single crochets (which I haven't figured out yet bc the hats are just double crochets, chaining, and slip stitches) so that I can reblog it when the confidence I have felt as I've gotten used to the mechanisms involved in the making of the hats simmers away entirely.
