I am READY for autumn!

I also really wish Instagram treated me with such love as you all have. Feel free to find my art account on there @agoblinknits

My basement craft room has shit lighting but I wanted to post my first spun yarn (left) and my second (right) next to each other!

Finding myself w/an interest in Hestia, and I ended up casting on the start of another kerchief today, this one for me to use to veil.

For my fellow fibre arts witches, if you're starting to get the Annual Cold Weather Fidget, that driving urge to reach for hooks and needles and that big bin of spools and fabric lurking in your closet....

If you feel like Doing A Witchcraft, you can work some witchy into whatever you're making. Weaving, crocheting, knitting, nalbinding, stitching, embroidery, and knotwork can all carry magic and serve as a vehicle for creating spells, sigils, talismans, or enchanted wearables.

Am I saying you can put a spell into that pair of socks you're knitting? That scarf you've been working on? That pile of granny squares waiting to become a blanket? That cross-stitch piece you've been meaning to finish?

ABSOLUTELY.

There are even books on knot magic, witchy crochet and knitting patterns, and beautifully spooky cross-stitch and embroidery pieces. (And lots more downloadable patterns exist on etsy and fibre arts forums!) Perfect for chilling with your favorite hot beverage and current binge-watch while you keep your hands from getting bored.

Go forth and have fun with it!

I finished the Ballerina Wrap Top just in time to wear it to Faire! Might have blocked it a little too big but I’ve had the problem of my shoulders growing bigger than the way I knitted an item and I feel like this will fit me no matter what.

I love when people tell me I make clothing wrong. I love when they tell me “you have to knit sweaters from a yoke” and “you have to sew a back rip stitch for a garment zipper” because I don’t! I don’t!!! I can make clothing however I like! I knit sweaters from the bottom up in panels on straight needles! I sew my zippers on by hand with embroidery thread! And guess what?! The sweaters look like sweaters! The zippers work like zippers! The SNOZBERRIES taste like S N O Z B E R R I E S!!

It's been a while since I posted something crafty, co here's something I'm currently working on! <|:^) I decided to make this project based on this multicoloured I got recently.

The colours and row arrangement reminded me of the reflection of an autumn forest on ripples of water over a lake. To me, the gradient of green to brown and tan is like the colours of fall leaves, and the dark blue like the depth of the water.

To make a more cohesive scene with this concept, I made a simple little house with a few pine trees under a sparkly night sky with a silvery moon and stars. ☾*.☆ﾟ ˚₊·. I love sleepy nighttime scenes like this, and I'm happy with how cozy-looking it's turning out! <3

How to incorporate yarn crafts into your cottage magic journey!

If you are a witch that likes to journal or keep a book of shadows, you can use this to help plan out your crafts. You can write down what you want to make, your goals, the colors, and what hooks you are using. This allows you to focus your intentions, your goals, and even color magic into the craft! Crocheting and knitting can also be calming and possibly meditative! It can help you get ready for a different spell as well, if you are not using the yarn for the spell itself!

This can also be a form of knot magic, and you can focus protection or any other outcome as you work and make your stitches/knots in the yarn/string! You are most likely zoning out anyway while working, so thinking about your intentions should be easy to do in the moment. If knot (:3) then you can write your intentions in a journal to help you!

You can also burn incense or a candle while you work to help calm yourself, breathe life into the craft, and help set your intentions. 

Did you know that you can make a familiar out of yarn? They obviously behave differently from a living familiar but they are still used for protection and companionship! 

Yarn can also be used for jinxing and hexing. You can weave your intentions into the yarn and then burn it at the end of the project. Please make sure you are being careful and practicing proper fire safety!

You can also make offerings with the objects you’ve made. Remember, deities often prefer handmade offerings than store bought offerings!

I drew @hangingfire as my recipient for a craft swap, so I had the great pleasure of:

1. knitting a nautilus (pattern by Hansi Singh, whose designs I adore)

and

2. making a Terror art quilt (designed by me, and this is the craft project I was secretly working on during Terror Camp 2023)

Learning applique this year has made me too powerful, now I can paint with fabric and sketch with thread!

(Too much thread. I can't give you an exact amount but there's definitely more than a kilometer of thread on here. Or perhaps, given the subject matter, I ought to say I used well over half a nautical mile of thread. I planned to exercise restraint in my thread painting, but it turns out I have none.)

Anyway, here it is, my first ever fanart quilt. Enjoy!
