Small manifestations of my fears and hopes. They are surprisingly sparkly.

I’m honestly completely in love with this fibre. The gradient is beautiful. It’s got the lovely subtle sparkle and tweed. I’m now glad I accidentally broke a braid when I was weighing them out, because now I get to keep one and not feel bad about it

As always, you can find these in my shop! And I can’t wait to spin my own (even though I will have to wait, bc I want to finish spinning my rolag gradient first)

i dropped by my favourite secondhand bookstore and found what is possibly the most incredible knitting book iver ever seen. that teaches you how to knit little gardens and sew them into a massive quilt 3d. the photos i took are atrocious and do NOT do this book justice

thats a PRIORY GARDEN WITH MONKS

IT EVEN TEACHES YOU HOW TO MAKE ALL THE TOOLS ABD BASKETS AND POTS AND PLANTS

LOOK AT THE SOME OF THE FOLIAGE

i have never been more upset to not have $30 ready to buy this. its incredible. i have to find it online somewhere. i knew the moment i saw this i had to share it with EVERYONE

after a couple days spent scrolling through mitten patterns, I finally smashed enough of them together with my own hand size and tiny gauge to get a pattern I like.

I'll likely have to adjust the thumb placement, but I can take a row gauge after finishing the cuff, and see where I am from there. It's possible I'll turn some of the bottom-most diamond area in the underside (i.e. the non-skull side) into ribbing, but we'll also have to see. The horizontal stripes I'm planning to do as latvian braid, because I am nothing if not extra, and if they end up too big (or even comically so) there's plenty of folks in the house with bigger hands than mine that can have some rad as shit mittens.

Handspun yarn baby!!!!

Beach colours 🌊😎

I'm obsessed with the way this turned out, AND it looks so pretty knit up!!!!!

I got another Critical Yarn in the process of plying!

I got so excited while spinning during d&d, that I forgot to post the process pictures. 😅

The dark mocha fibre ended up looking almost purple when backed by all of the blue tones. So, next time I might use the same Hazelnut from Dirt Wizard.

Anyway, I call this one Expositor. I spun it while doing Dope Monk Shit in the battle with the BBEG of our campaign. It seemed fitting. Lol

If there's sound, don't worry about it, my husband was playing Fable 2 while I worked.

Spun a little sample of a merino alpaca mix. Super soft!

SLOW-MO SPIN TIME to show off those 80 hours of hand beading, painting, embroidery, and rhinestoning. So proud of how this ‘Milky Way’ dress design turned out 💙🌌🌠

lots more bts on the design process and construction on insta

I laid out the big blue hexie star quilt to make sure I had the side units completed. I don’t. I am short by two rows of 26 times 4. I have just enough fabric to make the rows. I was sure I had made the twenty sixes. Oh well looks like I am making more little blue hexies. I also want to add some dark blue rows top and bottom. Still lots to do.

Lab Update: Working on some more circuit boards! I think these are the most satisfying pattern to watch the machine embroider. Special thanks to my partner @shinesurge for designing them for me!
