The German Twisted cast-on method is, I swear to god, some kind of bizarre string-based enchantment. Make a cat’s cradle! Stick a needle in and swish it about a little! Have a miraculously stretchy stitch appear on your needle that somehow also incorporates your first row?????

It works. But I genuinely don’t understand how and I did it eighty-eight times in a row this evening.

You guys ever get too deep into your hobby?

Also titled I bought hand carders and I am now spinning yarn with all the yarn scraps & offcuts I've collected from knitting & crochet over the past few years. And I am having The Best Time

162 yds. of handspun merino, spun and plied on my kick spindle! We still have more work to do on consistency, but for my first spin on the kick spindle and my 5th skein ever, I’m happy!

TDF Day 2

I'm still working through some of that Spellbound fibre.

I have one full bobbin of (wonky weight)2 ply that is resting and a bobbin full of singles that needs a mate before I can ply it and free Lacey up for new fibre

Eeeeeeeeeee! Look what arrived yesterday! The largest fibre order I have EVER made and the currency conversion was horrific, but these colour ways are just. so. gorgeous! I have no regrets. Fibres are handdyed by Fossil Fibres.

Successfully finished the first half of my first fractal spin!

This is a merino braid from a local indie dyer and was done entirely by hand. This first single is 2 ounces of a 4 oz. braid, and I think that weight pretty much maxes out this spindle! The last little bit was hard to keep consistent because of the weight of the spindle.

I am so so so excited to get the second half done and ply them together, the color gradients on this have been gorgeous all the way through and I think it’s going to be a beautiful 2-ply fractal.
