“Bruce was trying to teach Thor to knit and-”
“Stop. There are not words to describe all the ways that that sentence is wrong. No. I can’t-” Tony pressed a hand to the muscle twitching beside his eye. “No.”
Steve ignored him. “Bruce was trying to teach Thor to knit, and they decided on a tea cozy he could give his mother-”
“Please stop. Please, Steve.”
“And it didn’t go all that well, it was a little lopsided and not mom-present worthy, so Bruce was trying to cheer him up and find something else they could use his work for, and they settled on a hat because it was already the right shape, but it was too small for any of us, even though Thor tried it on.” He paused. “You should be glad we didn’t publish THAT picture in the New York times.”
“So. Much. Pain,” Tony gritted out.
“So since Thor loves Calcifer the toaster like a pet, the hat got a pompom and was gifted upon the toaster.”
Four (Or Five) Reasons for Kidnapping Tony Stark by Scifigrl47 gives me much joy so I’ll probably draw a few more pieces for it. Calcifer’s hat is too big, I realise that, but he at least looks like a toaster so I count this as a win.

I totally just bought one of these in purple. Teespring link
Barely started this, and I am already in love with everything about it. The handle on the yarn is gorgeous – it’s Moda Vera Beetle, a 50/50 cotton acrylic blend – and the radial lines of the faggoting lace (not an epithet, a historical knitting term) are really pleasing and stand out despite the bright colourway. I hope to have this finished in time to wear to Mardi Gras, as it’s kind of the perfect mix of autistic/queer pride between the spiral design, the sensory friendly fabric and the rainbow colours. Pattern is Breathe by Siew Clark.
Bucky knitting a sock
Third in my Bucky knitting series
So I’ve seen head canons of Bucky post Winter Soldier learning to knit but I loved the idea of him learning as a child to make warm things for Steve to wear. Steve was stuck in bed a lot and Bucky would sit watch
and knitting gave him something productive to do that maybe might stop
Steve getting sick next time.

That throw is GORGEOUS!!! Well done – having knit something similar I know it must have taken ages – what a labour of love! Thank you for sharing and brightening my day and making my knitterly heart skip a beat 🙂
Thank you! It took me maybe two weeks? It was 8ply yarn and I knit all day, pretty much, so it went fairly swiftly. It was very heavy on the needles by the end, though, so I was glad to finish it.
Winter Soldier Blanket – more or less complete! My job is done, anyway. Emma is going to outline the star in black, and may yet do radiating lines from the star points to the edge. Knit in 8 ply acrylic with a soft handle and a slight shine. Absolutely winged it with the colourwork star, making it up as I went, then once I switched to the silver rings, I used pi shawl increases. There’s slight ruffling because Emma wanted smooth increases, so I did kfab rather than yarnovers, which would have left eyelet holes. For scale – that is spread on our double bed. Final stitch count was 576. I used seven 100g balls of silver, part of a 100g ball of red, and about 1 ½ 80g balls of black, so the final weight is fucking heavy.
Newly acquired comics – Hawkeye: Blindspot and Captain America: Man Out Of Time. Blindspot is unfortunately a very flimsy-feeling softcover, because the entry on the website I bought it from was wrong and said it was hardback. I got a partial refund, but I kept it, because I couldn’t find a single hardcover available for sale on the internet. Maybe I’ll find one in the future. Man Out Of Time is hardback and lovely, and I’m just happy to own it.
A monument to lab mice
Built in park near the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Novosibirsk, Russia.
There is so much to love about this. It’s comical, poignant and respectful all at once. It’s a cartoon mouse knitting a double helix of DNA, which is charming but also a reminder that scientific discovery owes a lot to animals, without which most discoveries in medicine and biology would not have been made.
Knitting update.
Number one is the Winter Soldier blanket I’m making up as I go as per Emma’s wishes. The rest are of the completed Forest Path Stole commission, pinned out for blocking.
