    Weird Sisters Wool Emporium – Owl Post? What is this, a yarn subscription for nerds?

    January 25, 2025 - By 

    Weird Sisters Wool Emporium is a fun site that I’ve been happy to buy from in the past – and I’m currently a subscriber of their Owl Post subscription box. The main Weird Sisters website is a glorious display of fandom and geekery. It has collections of pins and stickers and hand dyed yarn colorways inspired by some of our favorite universes growing up, as well as entirely new topics and graphics that the owners created themselves. I highly recommend taking a look at the website, and while you’re there, let’s pop in and see what’s going on with their…

    Streaming with VTube Studio and Streamer.bot – Initial Setup and Simple Item Scene Usage

    January 22, 2025 - By 

    I’ve been streaming a lot with VTube Studio and Streamerbot, and I’ve found that the combination of these two programs has infinitely improved my stream and life (lol). Being able to automate actions in VTube Studio with Streamerbot has made the stream as a whole better, and has made people in the community more active as they fight over hats and who can make the badger dance the hardest. I’m going to give a brief intro to setting up Streamerbot with VTube Studio so people can play with settings and come up with their own redemptions. Connecting Streamer.bot to VTube…

    2024 is over. Let’s say goodbye

    December 31, 2024 - By 

    2024 was a pretty big year for me. After unknowingly suffering the sedative side effects of a medication I was on for three years, a medication change brought back my motivation and got me started on projects that I had left far behind and mostly forgotten. I started socializing again and met amazing friends, and then I started reaching out and rediscovering some of my passions. 2024 was the year of crochet I finished a lot of projects in 2024. A lot. I started getting back into it with simple bags and the goal of reaching 12 projects by the…

    Furls vs. OphireCo. A Personal Opinion

    December 24, 2024 - By 

    Sometimes I stream my crochet, and my hook of choice usually falls in the Ophire line. People will ask about my thoughts on the brand, as well as my thoughts on Furls, and I thought I’d put those here just so I have a written record to reference. When I first used Ophire, I was meh about it. I used it with Red Heart Super Saver and shelved the hook because it was so unpleasant and the yarn didn’t glide smoothly. Months later I picked it back up again and used it with a merino blend, and I fell in…

    Bluesky and you: how to get started

    July 30, 2024 - By 

    I told myself I would only post on Mondays, but I also told myself I would put together a brief intro to Bluesky for a friend. Images are from the Android app, the desktop version is mostly the same. SO. After you’ve registered your Bluesky account and logged in for the first time, you’re met with a Discover feed and a Following feed. Discover will be a curated feed as far as I know, with popular posts from the community. Do you want to keep it around? Up to you. But we’re going to get rid of it for now.…

  • Badgers - Crochet - Finished Object - Journey - Knitting - Video games - WIP

    Hello, it’s me! I have various categories!

    July 29, 2024 - By 

    If you’re here, you probably know me. If not, welcome! I’m not sure how you found me, but I hope something makes you smile. I’m Sems, and I like badgers. I also like crochet and video games. I stream sometimes, and I knit other times, but I keep coming back to games and hooks. I started crocheting 25 years ago, and I started gaming 15 years ago, and only within the last year have I started to take them seriously. This site (and the linked youtube channels) will just be a way for me to track progression, goals, and resources;…
