2017 Geek-A-Long: Dr. Strange
My gut instinct says to fill this post with gifs of Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange with the Cloak of Levitation, because let’s all be honest here, his red cloak was the real MVP of that movie. I mean, it was basically the cooler older brother to Carpet from Disney’s Aladdin.
In all seriousness though, normally I like to get super nerdy and lay down some comic book history, but I know zero things about Doctor Strange. Okay, maybe not ZERO thing, but it’s a short list. Everything I know about the magical superhero comes from the movie . And to be honest, I don’t remember much about it other than the fact that I drooled over Benedict’s cheekbones, wished he would shave, fell in love with the Cloak of Levitation, and giggled through most of the Easter Egg with Thor. Normally, I don’t care for the Thor movies, but I am 100 percent ready to see a Doctor Strange/Loki team-up!
Despite my self proclaimed love for the Cloak of Levitation, you might notice that it isn’t on Doctor Strange’s square. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when we design and knit things in advance. My brother-in-law, who actually knows a bit about Stephen Strange, said that we had to put the Eye of Agamotto on the square. The amulet is in the movie and plays a pivotal role, but — as the MCU is want to do — they gave it a sleeker design. I like the older version of the amulet though.
If you haven’t seen the movie yet or read the comic books, the Eye of Agamotto is the amulet that Dr. Strange wears around his neck. Like most items of power in the Marvel Universe, it has a long history. The gist of it, however, is that it allows the wearer to see through illusions and view past events. It does a few other tricks as well, but if you’re a big fan of the MCU, you’ve probably already guessed that it contains an infinity stone. Shocking, I know.
Whether you’re knitting, crocheting, or cross stitching this square, you can download the Doctor Strange pattern here, featuring the Eye of Agamotto amulet. Instructions and charts for both knit and crochet are listed in the pattern. When you’re finished making it, don’t forget to Instagram your squares at us @lattesandllamasyarn with the hashtag #geekalong!
If you’re having trouble with double-sided knitting, we have a how-to video here and a tutorial on crochet here. Want to hang out with other people making the blanket? You can find moral support in the Geek-A-Long group on Ravelry here.

At some point, the Ancient One reclaimed the Amulet from Strange and, without telling him, returned it to Agamotto, who kept it in his dimension where it remained for years. Eventually, Agamotto decided to use it to test the fanatical sorcerer Silver Dagger who had been imprisoned in that realm since being defeated by Doctor Strange. After finding the Amulet that Agamotto had "carelessly" left lying around, Silver Dagger took advantage of Strange's brief visit to that realm to pluck out his own left eye and mystically implant it into Strange's left eye socket (empty since that eye had been destroyed by a demon). Silver Dagger then stole the Amulet and hid it within his now-empty eye socket before escaping to Earth. Some months later, during the Infinity Gauntlet event, Silver Dagger and some of his followers confronted Strange in an attempt to kill him and reclaim his eye. However, Strange was able to use his Eye of Agamotto to overcome and imprison Silver Dagger. As soon as that happened, Silver Dagger became blind in his left eye again just as Agamotto appeared, revealed that he had been testing Silver Dagger (as Strange had secretly deduced) and took "Dag" with him back to his realm.

More than just a cosmetic product, this bold lipstick shade serves as a symbol of empowerment and confidence. However, using Black Magic lipstick does require some considerations. Given its dark and intense nature, it is important to ensure that the lipstick is applied evenly and precisely. This can be achieved by using a lip primer or a lip liner in a similar shade to create a clean and defined outline. Additionally, the use of a lip brush can help in achieving a smooth and flawless application. It is worth mentioning that Black Magic lipstick comes in different formulas, such as matte, satin, or glossy finishes. Each finish offers a different effect and may require different techniques for application and maintenance. For instance, matte finishes tend to be long-lasting but may feel dry on the lips, while glossy finishes provide a more moisturizing and hydrating effect. In conclusion, Black Magic lipstick is a bold and unconventional choice that adds an element of drama and allure to any makeup look. With its deep black shade and ability to transform the appearance, it has become a favorite among those seeking to make a statement. By embracing this unique lip color, individuals can express their creativity, challenge societal norms, and feel empowered in their own skin..
Reviews for "Breaking Beauty Boundaries: Rocking Black Magic Lipstick in Unexpected Ways"
1. Jackie - 1/5 - I was really excited to try the Black Majic Lipstick, but I was truly disappointed with the results. The color looked nothing like what was advertised, it was more of a dull greyish tone rather than a rich black shade. The lipstick also felt very dry and flaky on my lips, making it uncomfortable to wear. Even after exfoliating and moisturizing my lips beforehand, the product still emphasized every single crack and line, making them look even worse. Overall, I would not recommend this lipstick to anyone looking for a true black lip color.
2. Sarah - 2/5 - I give the Black Majic Lipstick a 2-star rating because while the color and application were decent, the staying power was incredibly poor. Within an hour of wearing the lipstick, it started to bleed and feather around the edges of my lips, creating a messy and uneven look. I tried using a lip liner and setting powder, but it didn't make much of a difference. Additionally, the lipstick had a strong chemical scent that was quite off-putting. It's a shame because I really loved the idea of a black lipstick, but this one just didn't meet my expectations.
3. Ryan - 2/5 - The Black Majic Lipstick was a total letdown for me. Firstly, the packaging looked cheap and flimsy, making it difficult to twist the product up and down. The color payoff was also disappointing as it required multiple layers to achieve a decent black shade. However, even with the build-up, the lipstick never fully reached an opaque finish, leaving a sheer and patchy appearance on my lips. The formula itself was quite drying and had a tendency to smudge easily. While I appreciate the uniqueness of black lipstick, this one missed the mark for me.
4. Kelly - 2/5 - I found the Black Majic Lipstick to be extremely drying on my lips, even with a heavy layer of lip balm underneath. It settled into the fine lines and cracks, emphasizing any imperfections. The color also lacked the intensity I was expecting, rather appearing more like a grayish shade. The lipstick also had a strange taste that lingered after application. Overall, I would not recommend this lipstick for those with dry or sensitive lips, as the formula may worsen the condition and cause discomfort throughout the day.
