“Winding Road”, another @wonderwoolwales exclusive inspired by the beautiful country roads we travel to get there. It takes us two days to get there as we stop for a break overnight. I’ll be putting out extra tadpoles food (they are three weeks old now) and plenty of nuts for the squirrels as we think there might be three of them. We’ve never seen more than two at once but there seem to be three patterns of movement/behaviour/feeding.

The one bizarre thing to me about textiles is that warp-weighted weaving is at least 6500 years old, but our oldest knitted artifacts are only ~1000 years old, and crochet 200 years old. Even though you need less equipment to knit (two sticks) or crochet (one hook) compared to warp-weighted weaving (frame, loom weights, batting, heddles). Why the big gaps between these inventions? And why did each one appear and spread when it did?

#seriously if any textile historians have answers i'd love to find out! #knitting isn't even hard to derive from weaving. just turn the warp on its side and use a hook to pull up a column of loops #repeat a few times and boom you have knit fabric #weaving #knitting #crochet #textiles #jlrrt speaks

Do you see this? This is the beginning of the absolute chaos that is my next sock project. The yarn is SouthdSocks in "Graffity" from Frau Wöllfchen and it is. Colourful. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it's also a lot :D

And then I went and looked for a pattern that will make it even worse! "Send in the Clowns" from Adrienne Fong does exactly that and also she describes perfectly how the graffity yarn ended up with me: "You couldn't resist! The gorgeous wild colors called your name. Now have fun with that crazy skein of yarn!"

I will. So so much fun!

If I wanna learn to make sweaters, is it better to learn to knit or to crochet? What about blankets?

#tabby talks #i kinda hope it’s crochet #i tried learning to knit once and i was not great at it #which i mean nobody is great starting out #but i apparently knitted weird #i went to knitting club at school and they were just kinda….. why/how are you holding the needles like that? #and i was like it’s the only way that i can 🥺 #it was holding one between my knees btw #maybe i just needed more practice…. #knitting #crocheting #fiber craft

Art reflects life...

I'm knitting a cowl (Dovetail by Melanie Rice) to match the tool box I built over the last few months at my dayjob! The tulip poplar I used was from some boards in VERY different colors- the more typical pale grey/beige and a very olive green. I wanted to remember it with a commemorative knit since I painted the box and then gave it to its new owner.

I knit this sweater from this vintage Beatrix Potter knitting book (and made it my size because all the fun patterns are made for kids)

I've made a fiber arts community on tumblr!

I thought the concept was cool, at least better than those weird groupchats forever ago. Communities can hold up to 25 people, including me. Posts are publicly viewable.

Is anyone interested in joining?

Knitting colourwork with the wrong side out works wonders for the tension of the floats. However, many people get confused by the concept and think you have to purl instead or knit the wrong way.

But no, all you have to do is to turn the wrong side out, so that you are knitting on the inside of the circle and the floats are on the outside.

True, it is a bit annoying that you cannot admire the pattern while knitting, but you will be lavishly rewarded for this little inconvenience when you see how even your knitting looks!

Shown here is the cuff of the StripesNFlowers Mitts. Pattern available on Ravelry.

Before and after packing for @wonderwoolwales at the studio. I spent all day today twisting up extra free minis for buyers at the show.

Embrace Octopus Sweater, completed in march 2023

this was the pattern that got me into knitting sweaters, and the pattern that got me into knitting color work. it took years and several sweaters, shirts, and other color work projects to work my skills up to the point I felt comfortable with this, but for a while this was what was guiding my knitting journey. now that I'm on the other side, I do feel a bit lost. it's really fun having something that consumes you like this—I feel like I'm always chasing something that can be that light, that can answer questions about what to do next, that can give me a metric to measure against. until I find that again, I'll just be making what feels right in the moment

also, wearing this sweater feels like you're getting a big, warm hug from a tentacled beast, which I'm sure some of you freaks are into

something very few talk about when it comes to learning a new skill is how it unlocks a new level of appreciation for the seemingly mundane

as I learn more about knitting or crocheting for example, I've found myself examining Every knitted garment I see people wear in the street. is it machine made? does it have cables? what kind? how thick is the wool? how thight is it? how is it constructed?

im specially fond of any crochet items as they're always confirmed to be handmade to some degree! I saw a woman with a crocheted bottle holder the other day in the bus, and a woman with a loosely knit shawl that must have required some big ass needles!

i really do think every skill you learn widens your perception of the world around you in lovely ways .. it's something I always find so thrilling!
