Crochet uses spun yarn. Not woven fabric.  Fabric is produced via crochet.

complimentary article

It is similar to Tatting and knitting.

I can crochet, and can even do a few fancy patterns, and make fuzzy plush animals with it, but can't knit or tatt.

I can, however, card weave, and sprang.

I also know how to tie fishing nets.

Nope! You're his apprentice and Head Hauler. We need clothes. And so do your kobold friends down in the highly decorative stockpiles kobold palace.

You realise im the ruler of those kobolds. With a flip of my fingers they will drop there jobs, claim bows and spears, and sucide rush your haulers, escape, and return with other tribes to lay siege to this place.


But then again I want them to live, so your damn lucky and-FEEBUS, FROM THE BOW, I SAY "BUT" THAT DOES NOT MEAN "KILL"! NOW DROP THE BOW, AND GO BACK TO GEM-CUTTING OR WHATEVER YOU DO.

Anyone noticing Feebus in my posts yet?

Ah, so you make things from scratch, and not stitch together pre-woven fabrics.

That's right. Goes straight from worsted yarn to finished product. No sewing involved.

Requires more thought, and careful measurements to make complex garments. I made a pair of gloves once. It was a pain in the ass.

Sippers and mittens would be a lot easier.

Clothing produced from crochet is "less stretchy" than knit, and is often uncomfortable when made into shirts and pants as a result.  Crochet is most commonly used to make heavier items, like blankets.

Tunisian crochet, however, is very stretchy, and is naturally double thick.  It is made with 2 simultaneous yarns, and a doubled headed crochet hook.  It makes awesome winter socks that drive the kobolds wild.



See that sexy sock? Its super soft.

Oh yeah, I had those in my tribe, my simpleton subjects decided to give them to those elves that got brain damage and started "dancing for our enjoyment" if you can say that there grandparents........

I am a little confused, who is doing the fort?

Actually, I was considering handing the fort over to Oliolli (even sent him the save)... Interest in it seemed to be dying out for me - I asked who wanted me to continue, and he was the only one who answered. (that I noticed - I may have missed a post.)

[WillowLuman]

Oh believe me, we all want you to continue. We were just brainstorming story ideas and getting carried away.

[wierd]

I get the feeling I am going to be making socks, mittens, and slippers (shoes), in addition to green glass crafts, soap, cooking food, and making stone mechanisms....


Surely, somebody else has as many hobbies as I do?  I mean, yeah, not going out on dates and being a toal homebody resuls in a lot of spare time on the weekends, but jeeze!

I like to swipe things from under my dad's nose.


Thats one reason im a kobold online.

You really weren't kidding. An apocalypse could happen tomorrow, and you'd be fully prepared... Even if you didn't have anything ready.
+1 to you for real-life dwarfiness.

Oh believe me, we all want you to continue. We were just brainstorming story ideas and getting carried away.

That's two... Well, I'll see what Oliolli says. If he'd rather just make journal entries, I guess the fort is still mine to mess with. Unless someone else would like to take over. If more are in favor of my continuing it... I will.
On a different note, if it'd help your journals I could PM you the save link. ...and possibly anyone else who wanted it.

[Oliolli]

I'm going to have a go at it at some point during the weekend. Possibly soon.

I suppose I'll also have to get DFHack or whatever it is if I want to properly dwarf people.


Oh, and Talvieno, one last question about a thing that has been bugging me for the duration of this thread.

You wouldn't happen to be finnish, would you? I'd guess so, based on your name.

Haha, you definitely are, I'm going to guess. And sorry if it disappoints you, but... no. I just really liked the sound of the name - it wasn't until I happened upon a Finnish community of gamers that I learned it was comprised of two Finnish words.

So now... I am santa. Hohoho.

[KodKod]

BTW Kodkod, I have a scientific question. If I created cybermen and was allowed to chuck them into your scorpion pit, what would happen? Would they kill each other, or would they unite and cybernetic giant scorpions would emerge?

I am not sure, possibly the latter. Frankly I don't think that this would be a fantastic idea, the good thing about organics is that they feel, and however fearless one may be in battle is irrelevant, because if it has a will, that will can be broken, bent into check. A Giant Desert Scorpion can be as harmless as a puppy given sufficient reason to obey without question.

Now to turn them into unflinching automotons could have unfortunate consequences. Think 'Bronze Colossus with a deadly neurotoxin'.

I'll keep them as simple, breakable fleshies, thanks.

Its a shame cybernetics arent in.
Aurgemt then with powered claws, extra armour, maybe a couple of extra limbs, while keeping all the glory of letting you torment them. Direct nerve induction would help keep them under control. Get the best of both worlds, unflinching automatons that obey your every command bercause they know that you will personally cause their entire body to become a conduit for pain
