been really blessed in terms of yarn lately: my friend and his family just moved to oregon, and his mom is a knitter and also dyes and sells her own yarns. while packing to move she gathered two huge storage totes full of skeins she didn't want enough to go through the trouble of moving, and she gifted them to me!!! its all very nice stuff, merino wool and cotton primarily, and a lot of it is her own dyed yarn. it all came as skeins, though, not wound into balls, and i didn't have a yarn winder and sure as shit wasn't going to ask the nice ladies at the local yarn store to wind any of that for free.

so i did go down to the yarn store on my day off, and asked after winders - specified i didn't need anything fancy, something small would do, the most budget friendly option preferably.

then i mentioned my friends mom by name, explained why i had a need for a winder all the sudden, because i've always just bought yarn there and had them wind it for me. and the lady working there goes, "y'know, i have a pretty nice winder at home that's just sitting collecting dust since i really just use the one here at the shop. it cost about a hundred bucks, but i could just give it to you. i'd rather it go somewhere where it would get some use than sit around and collect dust."

and so two days later i went back and she gave it to me! fully assembled as well, all i had to do was clamp it to my desk and get going. i don't have a swift, so it's a little tricky, but my setup means i am able to use my knees as a makeshift swift, so it's working out! i've wound six skeins into balls so far and i'm super excited to do more.

not to sound corny but the textile arts make me feel connected to the world around me. it's so intentional and deliberate and when i sit and do it, i think a lot about how many other women that came before me used to do it, how many hands have used the same supplies i am using, and how many other people might be doing the same thing as me all across the world right now

Didn't crochet much lately bc my life has been too hectic, but trying to get back into it. Tho the majority of my current projects are too complex for my tired brain rn (cardigans & jackets I'm almost done with but they require a lot of counting), I decided to finish these squares for a bag bc I can do these mindlessly :)
