I know I’m barely on here anymore but I saw a LOT of AI knitwear today. I will not reblog AI. If you see me reblogging something that is AI let me know ASAP so I can delete it.

So my sister wants to start sewing more, because

a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.

b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton

c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance

So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.

And recently she asked “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’

And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this

I've been working on this blanket on and off between other projects since February and it's finally done 🎉🌈

I'm going to knit and pretend I don't have feelings

Almost finished this spin of merino/silk! I'm hoping this will turn out to be a nice self striping sock weight yarn once it's all plied together.

let's make some lace yarn

200g BFL/Ramie blend that has sat in my stash for *undisclosed number of years*, dyed by me

if I was a cartoon character I'd be one of the recurring background guys and my main bit would be that every episode I grip my knitting needles too tight and snap them

You know at first I didn't believe it when fiber artists on tumblr would tell me to be wary of the fiber art slippery slope. And yet. I hear the siren call of the spindle. Fellow crafters help me resist. Tie me to the fucking mast. Please.
