#splooting — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #splooting, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Penguin testers are working, I'm planning on releasing the penguin pattern by the end of the month, and I am returning to work on the cat pattern. ✨

    I won't be allowed to get a job here in Germany for a few months more, which is longer than I'd hoped, so I'm going to have to get all my income right now from #crochet / #crochetpatterns, tips, and possibly vending at an #artisans market if that turns out to be a loophole I can slip through in terms of legal work.

    If you're interested in testing for the #amigurumi #cat pattern when it's done, let me know and I'll make a note to tell you when I make the call for testers! It'll include a crouching pose and a #splooting pose (I only recently learned the word "splooting" and it's adorable), so I'll probably be looking for more testers than with the penguin one.

  2. Deadlines and splooting 🐾

    IFLScience, and how she found journalism not so different from science!

  3. I finished this last night and didn't post it 'til now cuz I got.... a cold.....? (fingers crossed two negative covid tests aren't wrong 🤞) and didn't feel up for it.

    I have to admit it's a bit of a hassle to sew on the legs and head, especially since I need to note where and what angle to put instructions on the pattern. That's something I need to practice tbh. The snake was easier, lol 🧶

  4. I have MASSIVELY changed the front leg shoulder(?) design for the #splooting #cat #amigurumi. Feeling pretty proud of how we've sorted the curving technique for this and the tail. :3 What we've learned from this will deffo be going into the snake pattern when we get back to that.

  5. Alright, we got a standing front #kitty foot happening! That took all day to get right. 🙄 The back feet will just be a combination of these instructions with the #splooting pose back legs, so that shouldn't be so hard to design.

  6. I just remembered I took this pic a while ago that is probably worthy of the #splooting tag.

  7. Latest #splooting #cat, final design, splooting in the sunlight. 🤌 Beautiful.

    Of course, "final design" here just means there won't be any further changes to the sploot pose. There are two different head shapes and I want to design a third pose for the pattern. I'm not sure if I'll start that right away or take a break to work on something else. We shall see.

  8. I just learned this pose is called SPLOOTING.

  9. You’ve likely seen the ‘sploot’, a position on the belly with legs extended.
    It’s not something seen by horses or cows,
    but moreso dogs and cats.
    But here for you I bring today,
    are little tiny bats. ᕕ( ᐛ)ᕗ

  10. It looks as though Caruso occasionally likes “#splooting” when he gets extra relaxed.

    Splooting is a position when #dogs lay on their belly with their hind legs stretching behind their body. Sometimes, it’s also called “#drumsticks” or “#pancaking”, among other references.

    Since Caruso arrived between Presidents Day and Lent, I might give him another nickname, “#Pancakes”!

  11. Last summer, Texas hit its hottest temps on record 🌞. During that time, I learned what "splooting" is from a squirrel 🐿️. Naturally, I wrote and illustrated about it. Check it out:
