Not knitting nor crochet but a secret third thing

(Finally got the hang of nalbinding--here im working with some merino i spun up with a drop spindle)

People who call all yarn arts "knitting" upon seeing shibari for the first time: This, too, is knitting

listening to podcasts or audiobooks while i work on my silly little fiber crafts really makes me feel like i'm engaging in the ancient human tradition of shared storytelling while we work

Saw a post where someone talked about only having one project going at a time, and it baffled me--I always have like 3-5 projects going at any given time with no problem. So I'm curious:

[crochetgobbo]

Me: “Oh, it’d be so cool to make my own socks! Oh, but I apparently bought the wrong length circular needles.”

Knitting Goblin, living in my brain with $0/month rent: “Ooh! Double pointed needles! You prefer metal needles and they’re shiny!”

My WIPs: “Or you could finish the scarf, bag, cat toy, or doll before you start a new hobby.”

Crochet Goblin, somehow paying even less rent: “Or you could try tapestry crochet? Perhaps an amigurumi dog?”

Nälbinding: “Didn’t you want to try me, too?”

Embroidery Hoop: “She hasn’t even looked at me in months! Wait your fucking turn!”

Mending: “Oh, she thinks about me daily. Patches. Embroidering over the little holes. SHE HASN’T EVEN ATTEMPTED.”

first nålbinding project finished: a little basket! it was originally going to be a pouch but i made it a bit too wide.

I did a thing

Mixing Ethari's tattoos with the swirlies was very fun

[ithinkwehitametaphor]

Finally decided I am going to try and make a nålbinding sweater. I have no idea if this will work out or just be a huge waste of time and wool. But who cares. I'm going to try. Do it anyways.

The non-yarn items I got at NY Sheep & Wool! A Nålbinding needle, a Lucet and some fiber for spinning. The braid on the left has 20% yak hair in it so I'm excited to see how it spins!

hello waiter, one steak medium rare for me, and for the lady, sock from bog thanks

Scrap Along 2025

Welcome to the first day of Scrap Along 2025! 🥳

It’s an opportunity for yarn crafters of all kinds—crochet, embroidery, felting, knitting, latch hook, macrame, nalbinding, needlepoint, tatting, weaving, and any I missed—to create with leftover yarn and share their scrappy gorgeousness online.

Tag your posts with #ScrapAlong2025. If you can, tag the dyer and/or LYS that sold it. Please use alt tags on your images.

In conclusion… “These are little scraps of magic & when you paste them together you get a memory of something fine & strong, she said. Sometimes it takes till you’re 40 to see it though.” – Brian Andreas

I've got a pair of Socks!!!🎵

how it started:

How it ended:

The violet part wasn't enough for the second tip but they are waaarm nd my first ever pair of socks so I'm happy!

This was over 80+ hours of work, all freehand crochet. I am so proud of how this little guy came out. I named them Syl, they are the largest moth I've ever made, double-sided wings so one side looks moth-ey and the other side looks bat-like. Poseable, cuddleyable, and their little abdomen/tail is a stim with rotating little stimmy parts hehe. They're done with crochet, Nalbinding, and hand embroidery.

[milkweedman]

Knitting a freehand bag and started wondering how often people even use patterns, anyway. So--how often do you use a pattern when you make things ? This include knitting/crochet/sewing/weaving/nalbinding/bobbin lace/tatting/etc but also things like woodworking, cooking, and baking. If you want to just pick the thing you do most often that's fine.

I personally do not use patterns as I find them far more confusing than just figuring out the construction of an item and simply making it. I do very occasionally browse ravelry for inspiration but have downloaded maybe 2. In the 5 or so years since I joined. And have followed exactly 1, which I modified every single aspect of. In my defense, dyslexia.

[rathenarts]

Tumblr please help hold me accountable, I have too many new crafts I want to try and my brain is kicking my ass on the topic of actually attempting any of them. I promise I will tackle whatever comes top of this poll over the next few days, and post at least some sort of result to prove it. (Note that I do have materials and/or at least one starter kit for every craft here listed, so I can't wiggle out on grounds of "not having the supplies".)

All votes appreciated, thank you!

Guess who managed to learn an ancient method of Turning Thread Into Whatever from just a few articles and bad videos? That's right! My mother!

She taught me how to nalbind just this weekend, this is the ugly thing I made in the process:

And this is the collar of a poncho I'm working on now:

I had to undo it twice because I kept making mobius strips but this is one of the few crafts I haven't been compelled to drop immediately so hopefully I actually manage to finish it 🤞
