This is my very first fully made cosplay and it’s made entirely of yarn! I started it when I had only been crocheting for 6 months, inspired by the guild. It took 5 months, 370 hours and over 5000 meters of yarn! Submission from @shanmarlene.bsky.social First two photos by photogoku on IG

Photo 1 shows a white, plus size female presenting person carrying a basket and using a cane on a stage wearing a Final Fantasy 7 Aerith cosplay made out of yarn (a brown yarn wig, a red cropped jacket and a midi-length pink dress with boots).

Photo 2 shows a white, plus size female presenting person’s head and torso wearing a Final Fantasy 7 Aerith cosplay made out of yarn (a brown yarn wig, a red cropped jacket and a midi-length pink dress). They are smiling.

Photo 4 shows a white, plus size female presenting person posing for the camera, holding out their dress, wearing a Final Fantasy 7 Aerith cosplay made out of yarn (a brown yarn wig, a red cropped jacket and a midi-length pink dress with boots).

Photo 3 is a selfie showing a white, plus size female presenting person wearing a Final Fantasy 7 Aerith cosplay made out of yarn (a brown yarn wig, a red cropped jacket and a midi-length pink dress with boots) and holding a crocheted flower.

Today is #FNDawarenessday See the screenshot for my story. Diagnosed in January. Got given a link to a website and told to try distraction techniques. 3-4 month follow up pushed back to 6. We desperately need research and a care pathway for life altering disability. #voices4fnd #fndaction

“Even though I don’t make my crochet cosplays for sale , I really enjoy cosplaying what I create. These cosplays are characters from One Piece I really enjoyed creating after binge watching a couple arcs.

I got my post-appointment letter from my neurologist and my god, it’s perfect. I’ve never had a doctor respect me and my knowledge and listen and most importantly BELIEVE everything I’m experiencing. It’s so nice to feel validated for once. #chronicillness

When I started, I had been crocheting roughly 5 months & never made any garment before. The amount I learned has been astounding! I faced challenges & set-backs due to ever changing disability which affects my hands & can fully paralyse me, as well as also going through heavy grief. I did it!

5 months, 350 hours work, I debuted my crocheted & hand-sewn Aerith at @kupocon.com Except for jacket hardware & ribbon on the dress, the entire thing, including the wig & jewellery were made from yarn. I used over 5000 meters on yarn in total 🤯 (More in replies) #kuponcon #crochet #cosplay

My name is Dee, 30 and I'm a fiber artist! I started my journey 10+ years ago, first with knitting and not long after crochet. My preferred style of costuming is super "girly" and cutesy.

Star Butterfly Bloodmoon ball
Platinum blonde hair styles in a high curly bun with a pink headband in the shape of hearts with pink horns.
Off shoulder (left side) hot pink dress with red and pink crystals and a giant heart on the one shoulder strap on the right side.
Pose: head down with eyes closed and arms gently crossed wearing white satin gloves with pink ruffles on top the gloves.
Back ground: slightly blurred building in the background and white blur in the bottom of the photo.

I decided last minute to attempt to a yarn wig to go with my crochet Aerith cosplay. Apparently I hate myself and love suffering 💀 #crochet #cosplay

A girl with blue yarn hair and blue face paint wearing blue gloves, crochet horns, a small green backpack, and a crocheted dress stares longingly into a display case of pastries. She rests her hand against the glass of the display case. She is facing the case and the photo shows them from the right side with a partial view of their front.

Came back to check Twitter (X) after being away for a while as I was sick of all the racists and sexists and first post I see is a post hating on fat women, saying the most disgusting things. I am absolutely done with that cesspool. Genuinely the most toxic social media environment.

I’ve taken a break from playing #FFXIV for like 5 months and I wanna play again now but I’m honestly feeling a bit nervous? Idk if I can remember how to play my jobs & not sure if my gear will be up to date ahhhh. My neuro condition is kicking my ass in remembering how to play games. I hate it.
