Deaf Dog Training Log: Part 3.5

I lied I’m too into this

Have some unhelpful and super vague instructions that are not friendly to crochet newbies while I work on the real pattern. UK stitch names btw

Crochet an oval that fits to the second joint of your finger, then add a few rows of double crochet until it fits over your curled finger. You will need eight of these and they will probably all be different sizes.

Slip stitch the middle and ring finger together about a third of the way (e.g. if they’re both 18 stitches crochet 6 stitches together), then add a row of double crochet around the outside of both.

Slip stitch the index finger to the other side of the middle finger. Make sure it’s exactly opposite to the ring finger (e.g. 3 stitches of middle finger on front and back, 6 stitches connecting each other finger). Double crochet around and slip stitch the pinky to the opposite side of the ring finger while you’re there.

Double crochet around the whole lot, decreasing 2 stitches in the palm every row or two until you can put the fingers on and reach the base of your thumb. The thumb is just a magic circle with a couple increase rows and then double crocheting around. Slip stitch the thumb to the rest.

Keep double crocheting around and decreasing if needed for a snug fit. Test how easily you can slip them on every few rows to make sure the fattest part of your hand can fit through.

The palm pad is a circle and the outside two rows have this pattern: [dc, htr, tr, htr, dc, sl st] three times to make the clover shape. The theta delta is optional or can be swapped out for smth else but it’s just stitched on.

The finger pads are tiny ovals. Like two rows. Test where to put all the pads on while you’re wearing the glove to see the best placement for you and stitch them on.

Not pictured is claws. Do a tiny cone starting with a magic circle of 4 stitches and increase only on one side to curve the cone into a claw shape. Try different sizes and placements and stitch them on the paw tips.

Your work will be credited of course, links to your blogs will be added to the description.

Reblogs are encouraged for reach even if you don’t have anything to share!!

Sinner! Adam is the first person to not mistake Alastor for a deer, change my mind

Adam: the fuck are you losers doing?

Angel: me ’n Charlie wanna know if playing deer alarm calls will make Bambi freak out

Adam: you’re wasting your time

Charlie: it’s worth a shot, and this could help us get to know Alastor better!

Adam: like, do whatever, I don’t give a shit, but at least do something relevant to elk or shit won’t happen

Charlie: that’s what we’re doing?

Adam: he’s an elk, bitch, not a deer, so deer calls won’t work

Angel, scoffing: yeah, ’cuz you’d know more about Alastor in six days than us in six months

Adam: uh, I fuckin’ would know! I named the animals, course I know the differences between ’em. That red edgelord is an elk!

Alastor, appearing behind Adam: *sips Zestial-style out of his ‘oh deer’ mug like the pun negates Adam’s point*

Adam, visibly unimpressed: *plays an elk bugle*

Alastor, becoming rapidly less congruent with reality as he grows building sized: *destroys a wall and loses his entire shit in a show of power that would scare Lucifer*

Adam, who fears not even God himself: ha! I was fucking right! Dick-fucking-master! Hey, why are you two running away? Sore losers!

More progress on my cursed cat Alastor animation thingy

I'm procrastinating on the rest bc it's got people and they've got to be proportionate and they have so many parts ugh

Deaf dog training log: part 1

I’m petsitting/housesitting for my aunt and her dog has gone entirely deaf in her old age so I’m gonna try teach her sign commands

First I am establishing a reward signal, and I have picked “shine on shine on” from watching Ms Frazzled videos on Facebook (I wiggle my fingers). She is not a dog trainer btw she does satire videos about gentle-parenting entitled adults. Anyway every time I give Sandor scritches I smile and do Shine at her to establish the hand signal as a reward because she can’t hear clicker noises. Once she catches on I will teach her commands.

Also here’s your dog tax

Number 4 is the real reason Alastor left for seven years

Replaced the background of my favourite Alastor frame with an aroace flag and it looks hilarious I’m making it my pfp and calling it “aroace panik”

Original:

Cheetah mask! I had to try glueing the nose on three times and it’s just not hitting the spot 😔

Really proud of the eyes, though!

(In Frank’s pilot voice) I wish Rosie would chop my tits off with a meat cleaver

"Trans Alastor doesn't make sense" no it doesn't, but the idea of Rosie chopping his tits off with a cleaver is really really funny you guys

Face reveal

WIP maned wolf, still needs paint and a nose (see the trick I did hiding behind the phone?)

I used the tutorials on raccoonmasks YouTube channel! They’re so amazing!
