The inner side shows three blue ovals labeled “pipis.” The other shoe has pink laces. The outer side shows Spamton in his boss form pointing at Kris, Susie, and Ralsei. The inner side says, “Now’s your chance to be a big shoe,” matching the other shoe. In the final picture, the original poster is wearing the shoes with cuffed jeans. /END ID] Id by @neospacegov
Kagome weave with dandelion stems - interplay of the fragile and the robust
So, yesterday I plucked some dandelion stems and wanted to tinker something with it. My first attempts with these fresh dandelion stems included different kinds of braids: The material is too fragile to handle such heavy twists. Hence I decided to try the kagome pattern, as the curving/bending/twisting of the kagome pattern is very light and does cause few stress on the material. Additionally, as I wove I realized again the advantage of this pattern: While it is also simple and elegant in its simplicity, it has practical aspects as well, as it gets its stability from the whole it forms. Each stem alone is not responsible for the stability of the woven piece.
But as network of entangled members supporting each other, the kagome weave stands out with its rather robust kind, despite being built up by rather fragile members.
So ever since the news Murtagh and Thorn were getting thier own book I’ve been morphing back into the feral 13 year old baby fangirl with her first book boyfriend.
Only this time, I’m 31 with the yarn skills to make a cardigan to snuggle in when I binge it! It’s so big and so cozy and 😍🥰. I am OBSESSED with it!
The cardigan was knit flat seamlessly from the bottom up with increases to make the wing silhouette. The fronts and back were worked separately with short row shoulder shaping and joined with Kitchener Stitch. Stitches were then picked up for the buttonband and sleeve cuffs.
The pattern is mine, but I haven’t released it because it’s only written in one size and not tech edited. I haven’t done much size grading but if there’s a lot of interest I’ll consider it! Yarn is Knit Picks Swish Bulky on US 10.5/6.5mm needles.
Getting another batch of the rainbow fabric worked on as of 1/5/24, going to use this batch to make a bunch more of the little zipper bags and some new *experiments* I'm hoping turn out cool!
Have some loom ASMR!
If you have weaving questions, leave them on this post and I'll do a video at the loom answering the best I can!
Call me the Briefsonian! I have a large collection of vintage undies I've collected over the years, including rarities like Funpals in size 10, Classic Oshkosh briefs and so much more!
