Knotty Thursday: Boa Knot and Emo Flirting

 

Did you know Fire of Love is narrated by Miranda July, the patron saint of artsy broken hearts? What a perfect movie, wish I'd gone to see it when it was playing at The Song Sender's movies! Last night I sat in front of this latest in a string of beautiful sad movies and halfheartedly learned my weekly knot. I had personal harness time too, but that was just for me to know the details of.

These weeks post-breakup haven't been all sad movies and melancholy self care! It's February, my carversary, so I had to bring Valentine in to get inspected by the Cute Car Place Guy. He's still as bad an idea as ever. ("Look, if you want me to come by, I'll come by," said this married and definitely not poly heartthrob/jerk-to-his-wife.) But being all "Oh my heart's all broken, will I ever find love again?" and having him be like "Of course, you'll be fine! You're a strong, beautiful woman." made all the heartbreak a little easier to bear.

They say it takes about half the time of the relationship to get over a breakup, but I'm not sure I want to wait five months to be slutty again! On the other hand, I AM sure I'm not messing with any husbands right now, poly or otherwise!

Heartbroken flirting is a new kind of adventure?

New Feeld profile--at least they know what they're getting?

Knotty Thursdays: Sliding Knots

 I was interested in a fancier knot I saw on a woven bracelet, but this was a good place to start. I thought it might make a nice start to a self-tie harness--it does feel great to pull on the ends and make it tighter!

Also it can make this pretty loop that would be lovely for attaching more rope to take it up around the chest or down through the crotch.

Here's hoping the sliding knots find some lovely safe adventure! 

Knotty Thursday: A Sorry and a Pretty Harness!

 

First, an oops! It seems that when I first talked about photos with The Relationship Anarchist, I wasn't clear enough that I was sharing photos on blog posts, facebook, and Twitter. They were very patient and forgiving with me about my mistake, and now I have a new idea of the thoroughness and care I want to have with new friendos! Thanks and hugs to them and to everyone who trusts me with their pictures!  

And now! Look how cute this harness is! I really need to practice munter hitches some more, they're a little loopy here--I get weirded out that they're hitches and not knots!

The Relationship Anarchist is a great rope muse! They encouraged me to finish the harness with a double coin knot-- and I ended up doing two. I can't get enough of how adorable the coin knot looks, especially in the back. (Also! Look at the cute little waist!) They were a very patient pal while I worked and reworked the knots, the whole harness really.
