[Kaderin Triste]

Hey. So I joined this site quite some time ago (4 years approximately...) but kind of fell out if it.
Anyway, I noticed it being discussed on another site and decided to just see if I could even remember my login.

So...I'm bad at other intro post stuff...like talking about myself and my interests...but maybe I'll try to stick around this place for a while.

*awkwardly shuffles feet*

Hey there welcome back!

Similar story for me :) Great to see you though!

[Tohopekaliga]

Hiya, Kaderin! :D Welcome back! (was it a conversation on Syndrone involving me and Obsidian? :P )


Talking about oneself usually feels weird, so that's quite alright~

How's life been treating you?

[Kaderin Triste]

Well, yes that one and also the conversation you were having in Damies' thread there too.

Life's been alright, though I have been exhausted today and haven't accomplished anything yet. I do need to get up and go to the store soon and then work on everyone's Christmas presents because I am so far behind on getting those done.

[Tohopekaliga]

Oh yeah, I was talking to Damies about it, too. I hope Pirwen & emiliobool turn up again.


Christmas presents! I...haven't done that at all yet. Oh dear. XD I'd better get to it before stores get too insane. I don't have too many people to buy stuff for, at least.

[Glitch]

I wanted to do some drawing today but I also haven't gotten anywhere. My eyes want to take a nap but the rest of me is like noooo

[Kaderin Triste]

Yeah. My trip to the store is for cat litter...and probably cookies...

I made the stupid decision to just make presents for everyone...so I have very little time to finish a stuffed fox, make 2 stuffed dragons, make accessories for said dragons, finish a blanket, make a pair of scaled gloves, and make a pair or two of socks. Not sure I'll get everything done in time...

[Glitch]

ooo are you crocheting??
I've made some blankets so far but the easy no sew ones XD

[Tohopekaliga]

o.o That's a lot of stuff! Good luck!

I'm curious about 'scaled gloves,' would that be gloves made with scales from The Ringlord?

[Kaderin Triste]

Glitch: I loom knit actually. The particular blanket style I'm making is fairly easy, it just gets kind of boring after a while.

Toho: It would be, yes. Figuring out how to use them with my looms was a real pain initially, but I've made some pretty awesome gloves and small bags with them.

[Tohopekaliga]

Oh, that's cool. :D I made a scale vest once a few years ago with those, and made some arm guard things with the extra.

Took a long time. ._.

[Kaderin Triste]

Were you actually chaining them? O.O
I want to learn real scailmaille eventually.
I did start to learn chainmaille last weekend.

[Glitch]

ooo I always think that stuff is so cool but beyond me D:

[Tohopekaliga]

Yeah!

Well. The vest and stuff was split-ring, so not quite the same, but I've made a few different actual chainmaille things. Still have a lot of rings sitting around that I haven't used, haha. I've made necklaces and bracelets for a few people, mostly with cheap materials, but I have done a bit with actual silver.

I think the coolest weave I did was Byzantine Chain. It's just such a neat pattern.

[Kaderin Triste]

Very cool!

Yeah, currently I am just using anodized aluminum rings. I have made a couple of very basic bracelets, a swatch of European 4 in one, and a lanyard keychain in Byzantine chain. I have also learned helm's chain, though I need smaller (chain nose?) pliers to really do that well, and also learned how to make a Celtic star pendant the other night, though I need to buy some larger rings than I currently have to actually make one.
Oh! And I've made some shaggy loops earrings.

[Tohopekaliga]

Neat. :D Lots of stuff! I have a few different kinds of pliers sitting around, largely because of bending rings, heh.

I'd considered making a bunch of stuff to sell in the past, but didn't actually sit down and, you know, DO it, so I just have materials scattered about, and just make things when people ask me to (which isn't common).
