The two projects I have in mind after the socks:

This hodie for the husband with this yarn I spun myself (need to spin one more skein and dye it)

And spinning this gorgeous roving that @swords-n-spindles gifted me last year with a from the food technique that showcases all the colors (technically)

After frogging again for 5 times or so, I'm finally content with the pattern I choose for the second sock

Not Shure heat pattern I enjoy more, tbh.

I have squired a sock! I also already started the second sock. I just have to think about what pattern to use

My scrap quilt this morning. The fabric I'm using is largely felted so im... not hemming. I mean it's a quilt, the back will be closed eventually... should be fine ? (I have no idea if it will be fine, but I don't want to hem).

Got some bits of socks, the top of an old hat, more loom tests, and something I started knitting and never finished and decided to sacrifice to the quilt rather than frog.

Here's the back.

Only had to redo this like 3 times to win yarn chicken... still counts. It's 1 row of lemon peel stitch, that's how little yarn of this color I had lol.

Wowowowowowww, hold on a second?? Color reference?? For what? You can't just say that and NOT give me details, that's illegal!!

Also just for you: more if that yarn, and a different yarn dyed with the same plants, but different technique

Crafty friends inside my phone. The time has come once again for you to influence my purchasing habits. I want some rolags to take away with me when I go to Torquay in July, during tour de fleece. I’ll be taking Margo with me, hence rolags. So I have been browsing fellfiew fibres. The shop is closed at the moment while she catches up with orders, but I want to have my decision ready for when she opens up again. And of course, I would buy out her entire collection if I was rich. But I’ve narrowed down my options to ten. I may buy two sets, we’ll see how my bank account looks when the time comes.

Pics and such under the read more

“black merino fibres blended with plenty tussah silk in shades of blue, turquoise, pink and purple, with plenty silver Angelina”

“pink and blush shades merino, with highlights of white Eri silk and pops of intense pink tussah silk”

“merino, baby llama and tussah silk, with a little gold trilobal”

“Shetland fibres, with the addition of merino, superfine merino, corridale and tussah silk

“merino in shades of soft green. Between each layer is a thin layer of baby llama”

“50% merino, 30% tussah silk, 20% recycled sari silk and a little bronze coloured trilobal.”

“5 colours of merino all blended with 1/3 seacell, and A grade mulberry silk”

“merino in soft sades of pink, lilac and lavender, with two fine layers of baby llama, and a touch of blue tussah silk”

“Polwarth blended with beautiful white tussah silk, approximately 50:50 ratio, and some soft Trilobal sparkle”

“7 colours of soft, 21 micron merino”

A heel happened!! Translated from Germany it's a Bumerang heel. I like it so far. I'll see how it holds up with wear in the future

Sock time! With the agender yarn @roboticchibitan dyed for me 🥰

Really love the pooling

I also thought about crocheting lace, but I'm not good enough at crocheting yet. Also it looked to busy. Loved the cameo effect though. Agender pride cameo is a joke that writes itself

Oh noooooo 😭😭😱

have come to the conclusion that i must put my cat up for adoption

i have discovered that he eats any alpaca yarn (exclusively alpaca yarn!)

once i figure out which cat actually does it, it's over for him

i just finished plying it too, i was so proud of myself

I came across this in a book I'm currently reading and it's really stuck in my mind and I wanted to share

'Sheep in Wolf's clothing' by Judith Duffey 1986

I don't know if anyone on here is going to be interested I'm this piece or anything but I wanted to share as it struck me an an amazing piece of textile art

Hi, not sure if you would have any info (or if you know a blog that would have an answer)

I want to make things to wear and I can measure like, myself standing and all, but how do I know how to deal with a part of the clothes that will bend (the knee, the waist, etc.) it makes the clothes move and I would t want my stuff to break because I didn’t account for that stuff. Any tips? Does anyone worry about this when they start?

Ohni have NO idea :D

But @swords-n-spindles sews more clothes for themselves.

And @vincentbriggs is an absolute legend (imo)

Edit: forgot @badassindistress also top tier sewing stuff and knows way more than I

This his VERY cool, but I don't have milkweed anywhere near me :(

You might think about @milkweedman

I got myself some milkweed with lots of bast fibers coming off!!! This is butterfly milkweed from a well established plant, stems were left exposed to the elements all winter. I don't remember off the top of my head who worked with milkweed fiber a year or two ago (@comfortabletextiles ?) But I'm gonna try to process and spin a little bit of milkweed cord!
