@MakersHour most of my makes make me happy. It's hard to pick a favourite, but my jacket from repurposed linen fishbone fabric is a bit contender (that shirt I'm wearing under it is also a favourite).

@MakersHour #MakersHour A5: Yarn. Just...yarn.

@MakersHour #MakersHour A4: Clothes that fit properly.

Everything masculine I own is too big, except for my suit and a pair of jeans I got from a site specifically for short men.

5: I collect stuff that could be making related (winches). What do you get carried away with collecting?

4: What would you like someone else to make for you? Maybe something that would make you smile, or make your life easier, maybe?

Supercon starts on Halloween this year, but I might bring my costume for Alana (from the Saga comics), although my hair's the wrong color since I just bleached it...

Otherwise, fun skeleton garb ftw! ^_^
(Can you tell that I'm procrastinating on packing...?)

@MakersHour #MakersHour A2: I'm going to a local queer art night tomorrow, so I kinda had to think of a costume.

I'm going to wear a suit and a fedora and be, depending on who asks, "the detective investigating the Louvre heist," "just this guy, you know?", or "myself, it's the scariest thing to be."

2: It’s Halloween! Do you partake and have you made anything for it? Or are you doing something unrelated this week?

@WizardOfDocs It is very tempting to choose my own name one day.

#MakersHour

@MakersHour #MakersHour A1: Hi, I'm Alex T. Dragonson.

Inspired by someone else talking about their name, and I think this counts as a creative fact because I chose my own name (and made it official almost a year ago): the T stands for Trivia.

Yes, Trivia is my middle name. Following the example set by my friend @BestGirlGrace Grace *Danger* Lovelace.

I considered making my middle name Wisdom, but decided that was too pretentious.

@MakersHour #MakersHour A5: switch to a different project, usually. Making *is* my stress relief, and when my hands hurt too much to knit I usually end up playing a lot of Minecraft or fiddling with my phone.

@suearcher @MakersHour What about patchwork - isn’t it the best combination of the soft and the geometric? #MakersHour
