Probably no one is interested in this but like,, it’s knitting season and I already started off strong:

Behold, the sugarplum pullover using langyarn’s orion in blue/green.

I need to buy one more skein and then I’ll be able to finish it. I’ll post the result too.

There's no "no", maybe because I ran out of space, and/or maybe that isn't an option. 😌

Sweet mother, I can't long for girls--Arachne has crushed me with desire for fiber crafts

I’m so pleased with this blanket I want to share it with the world. It is a knit sampler pattern from a pattern book originally bought by my great grandmother in 1968! Hippo thinks it’s pretty neat too.

One of my favorite things we saw during our trip to Iceland was the Njálurefilinn (Njal’s saga tapestry) project at the Icelandic Saga Centre in Hvolsvöllur, Iceland. Started in 2013 by two local women, Gunnhildur Edda Kristjánsdóttir and Christina M. Bengtsson, the project invites the public (and tourists) to sew sections of a 90m tapestry that depicts Njal’s saga. The tapestry was designed by Kristín Ragna Gunnarsdóttir and uses the ancient Bayeux stitch with Icelandic yarn dyed with natural materials using traditional techniques. The project is expected to take 6-10 years!

I think one of the best things I've learned since getting into fiber arts is that something can be absolutely not my taste and I can still be impressed and delighted for the person who made it and people who love it. Almost every time I look through patterns or projects, I have a thought like, "I hate that and it's magnificent" or, "I wouldn't wear that, but HOLY CRAP it's amazing that you made it."

We need more of that.

Get yourself a fabric store that will light your fabric on fire for you

No but legit I asked what the fiber content of something was and the guy didn’t know so he cut a chunk off and lit it on fire and felt the ashes and was like. Yeah this is mostly cotton with a lil bit of silk. And that was the moment I knew. This is it. This is the fabric store for me. Also that guy is marriage material. Not for me but damn some person is gonna be so happy with him.

Here's a bookmark I made recently. The thread I used for this I got from my grandmother, it's really old and I'm kinda surprised how well it held up with my vigorous tensioning.

This pattern also used the most bobbins I've worked with so far, 22 pairs! The pattern is called Linnunruoho, which is a type of plant (milkwort in English I think). Literally translated the name means "bird's grass", which i think is really cute 🐦‍⬛

Its janky looking but just having finished it is an achievement

This is the last pattern in my bobbin lace kit

I've got some more books, some with patterns, and I think I'll go through all the beginner parts a couple of times

Maybe then I can have another go at this one and it'll come out better

They're wonky, and I need an actual lacemaking pillow and good thread, but they're mine
