crochet, recs, and babble

[donutsweeper]

I finished the oven mitt I was crocheting (adjusted to be even bigger and longer then the one I'd adjusted to be bigger and longer than the pattern) and did not lose at yarn chicken which surprised me a lot. (I am testing using these two pictures from discord hosting, the first had the random stuff post 'jpg' removed while second doesn't, so far I haven't noticed any change in the permanence of discord image hotlinking so far but I'm curious if there will be eventually):

the pair:

Not sure what project I'll start now, I'm slightly less than halfway through the third giant yarn cake in the dragonscale afghan and I don't know if I want to start another blanket or a scarf or what.

I had so many plans for Nov/Dec but I have no idea where the time went. I haven't crocheted/crafted much, haven't updated/reorganized my useful links, haven't written much for yuletide.... sigh.

Have two weeks of recthething recs (2 MDZS/Untamed fic recs plus a bunch of art and two vids from ficinabox, all of which is still anon, from various canons)

A Grand Immortal Made Me Soup by s6115 (5k)
Summary: One thing had become incredibly clear. Wei Ying was much sicker than he had thought he was, and as a result, was now hallucinating. There was no reality where a Grand Immortal had actually shown up in his apartment, yelled at him about his shit-hole residence, and fed him soup. Absolutely in no way was a Grand Immortal in his apartment, and shitting on him for not finding a place that banned pets. (very cute modern reincarnation + immortal cultivators fic)

fata organa by ShippersList (4.5k locked to archive)
Summary: Wen Qing has tea with Lan Qiren. Somehow, that changes everything. (interesting gusu lectures canon divergent fic with a LQR/WQ pairing of convenience and background Wangxian)
