This being posted alongside the photos with Hudson says everything it needs to say...

It's no surprise that Ryan Michelle Bathe and Simu Liu came out in support of Hudson this week. I'm sure as poc's in the industry, they immediately clocked the pattern and knew this for what it was: a racist smear campaign.

Lost my mind a little and added (if my math is correct) 5,615 beads to Nim Teasdale's Odenwald pattern. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing!

The goal was “soothingly weighted but not uncomfortable to wear, even as someone with chronic pain.” It could have been a little heavier, so maybe I’ll make a shawl with larger beads another time, but I’m very pleased with this one. I used size 6/0 seed beads, applied as I go with a .6mm crochet hook.

Yarn-wise, used 2 cakes of YarnArt Flowers. I knitted the fully purple sections from both, then knitted all the way through the yellow-oranges with a single ball. When I hit the beginning of red-oranges, I used yarn from both cakes, alternating between them. (Not the entirety of both, I played it by ear to make sure I made it through the full rainbow.)

I do have edited charts with bead placements. I will only share them with Nim's permission.

how‘s the water?

you‘re in it

there's a rookie there staring at them wide eyed as they continue bickering trying not to think they're watching a marriage blow up in front of them, bc hollanov has started taking some personal digs at each other ("i shouldn't have to pay you anything with a backhand like yours." "fuck you my backhand is perfectly fine, you don't see me charging you for your time spent in the penalty box.")

I can’t do that without negative consequences

I can’t do that unless I have support for it

I can’t do that

His plans at the moment were to talk Shane into going clubbing with Ilya and Svetlana. But suddenly an image popped into his head. The Hollanders, Shane, Sveta, and Ilya all gathered around Ilya's massive dining table, eating pasta and drinking nice wine, maybe having cake. They all give Ilya nice gifts that he likes, maybe Shane gives Ilya a really nice watch or a perfume that he'd had a professional help pick out. Then the Hollanders retreating to the living room while Shane, Sveta, and Ilya heading upstairs to laugh and pregame and get ready for the club together. Saying goodbye to Shane's parents and slipping into Shane's car to go out and meet Marly and a couple of the guys out for some partying. Then ending the night in his own bed, in Shane's big steady arms, maybe with some drunken birthday sex. Quietly, obviously, because the Hollanders and Sveta are in the guest rooms.
