I have completed my first piece of sashiko embroidery. The back's a bit of a mess because I couldn't manage the "one continuous line" thing you're supposed to do given all all the different pieces in the design. Also, my hands are now somewhat blue because the cloth was leaking indigo dye onto my hands the whole time. But I really like the overall impression of the end result.

I've got another of these sampler sheets to try, but then I'm going to have a go and doing some designs in this style to decorate another otherwise plain t-shirt.

Next project! A rainbow scarf.

The wool is marino three ply from Bendigo.

This pattern is probably a step or two more complex than I am ready for, but it is all skill acquisition at this point.

The left hand edge is the more consistent, all the colours changes are coming in from the right.

Does anyone have advice for keeping edges tidy when there are frequent yarn changes?

A friend sent this to me and I feel like other knitting library/archives professionals need to see it.

Pattern available here

Some jellyfish I made after my friend gave me some squiggled up yarn from a project she unraveled and tasked me to make something out of it. I had fun with these. I named them Electric Pudding and Red Velvet :3

Pattern is my own.

i love truck stops in winter bc i love a little good old fashioned reconnaissance. i’m at a wyoming truck stop eating taco bell with a bunch of random truckers discussing road conditions like we’re in a high fantasy tavern & inn and we’re warning each other about monsters and highway men. everyone talking about where we’re coming from and going to and how bad it’ll be getting there.

THE tallest man i’ve ever seen in real life just stopped me in the hallway by the coin operated laundry apropos of nothing and asked “which direction are you going?” i said east and he said “good” and walked away.

i caught up with him and asked why and he said “west’s no good right now. i just came from there.”

apparently a truck jackknifed and has traffic backed up ten miles but he sounded for all the world like he just found his village raised to the ground by an evil mage’s army
