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

[speedwagons-glorious-mane]

PSA for all the people who have a pet Fibre Artist, whether you have a Knitter, a Crocheter or perhaps one of the more rare breeds like Spinners and Lace-Makers, make sure that they take frequent breaks from their craft by playing with them and taking them on walks since Fibre Artists are prone to giving themselves RSIs and Carpal Tunnel when left to their own devices for too long!

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)

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

No matter which textile craft you look at, it has weaving in ends, and everyone hates it with a burning passion.

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:

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.

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!

More nålbinding socks made from plant-dyed wool. 🧶

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 🤞

[i-knit-you-not]

Does anyone know of a foolproof nalbinding tutorial? I have watched a couple of videos and tried to follow the book i bought with the needle but i just don't get it 😔

[oganneb]

I gave a friend in my reenactment group some linen to make his tunic a while back and last night he gave me these nalbinding needles in return that he made out of bone 😭 They're so gorgeous I'm going to die

Hey Ya'll!!

Are you a LGBTQIA+ or otherwise Queer fiber Podcaster, Dyer, Designer?!?

Would you be interested in participating in a great big rainbow-themed, LGBTQIA+ Pride and Joy event this June?

I run a knitting podcast and I am trying to pull something together. My vision is the largest fiber related celebration of Queer identities, LGBTQIA Love and Rainbow Joy.

I'm talking prizes, give-aways, make-a-longs, All Of It! Therefore, I am putting this out there in the Gayest (affectionate) place I know to hopefully get some responses.

Ya'll, I need people. If you think that this is something you would like to be a part of, please contact me.

Work in progress of a winter beanie hat I've been working on that's in the theme of the Night Lords from Warhammer 40k

It's for my partner since he really loves the Night Lords a lot. In his favorite colours.

This is done with Nalbinding, Crochet, Embroidery, and weaving to make the design.
