Wove some fabric, made a pillow

The worst thing that could happen to a fibre artist has happened to me.... I have discovered moths in some of my stash 😭

Thank God I keep the majority of it stored in plastic tubs so I only had to spend half the day putting what I had left out in bags and putting them in the freezer.

I'm so glad I found the moths when I did otherwise things could have been so much worse, now my office is going to be a wool free zone until I am certain there are no more moths in there... and I'm buying more storage tubs because I have learned my lesson about keeping wool out lol

Also how long should I leave wool in the freezer to make sure all the eggs and larvae are dead? Or is there a better method I should use? I've never had to deal with moths before and I'm hoping I never will again after this lol

Once again re-listening to Within The Wires (Season 8) while at work.

And the end of Cassette 7, Side A is just "Brian" sitting there aghast.

I'm Alive

It's been over a month since I posted because I just haven't. Done anything lmao. I've had a couple health issues going on (both mental and physical, very fun!), plus an extremely humid start to summer and getting really really really into multiple media properties... Life conspired to keep me from knitting. Even now I'm not 100% back into it (mainly because I managed to sprain my wrist while picking up a plushie) BUT I expect I'll pick up sometime soon. Hopefully.

Hi everyone. I just got back from Eclipse Trip, wherein I left the city I live in, which was in the path of totality, to travel thousands of miles to the town of my father's birth, which was ALSO in the path of totality, to see the eclipse. ANYWAY I was going through one of the only airports where my knitting needles have been threatened by TSA, so I brought only a single crochet hook with me. I had decided to convert Klaziena into a capelet, and I was too successful: I finished the project halfway through the visit.

So I used the remainder of my yarn to make a more different crochet shawl, because, again, this was a Crochet Only trip

Once again, I finished it too soon. So I stole yarn from my mother, and started my second shawl-to-capelet conversion: tasty tamarind edition

The second pic is how it would look if I wore the points in the front WHICH I WILL NEVER DO OF COURSE because this is a capelet, beautiful, stylish, lovely, and not a poncho, ugly, outdated, embarrassing.

I have been having the worst day ever on a colossal level so just drove myself to get a froster at circle k after my meeting and I just dropped it all over the porch and now I have to do laundry and clean the porch I’m so 😭😭😭

I took a short trip to Iceland with friends and even though I’m very much an amateur photographer with an iPhone I wanted to share some of what I saw with you guys

I have been thinking about a quilt inspired by all the incredible scenery out here. I think I have a pattern already that would work. Standby for a mock up in the next couple weeks

Doing grannies again

[woollywooloo]

I feel like I have been blessed by the sewing gods tonight.

I FINALLY got around to sewing up the mock-up for my first pair of pants that I have been procrastinating on for the last month or two and everything fits PERFECTLY

Fuck me, I'm now on Bluesky. @TheKickassKnitter

Not Knitting but me putting my art school experience to work for once

I need a strip of wood in my closet for structural reasons and while I could've just left it bare or painted white, what's the fun in that?

I had to mix custom colours for the palette I wanted for the first time in a very long time. And I mixed way, wayy too much. I had a couple other pieces of wood ready to be painted and even then I still have more paint.

I just haven't painted for fun since before art school and am very proud of how these turned out (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

Trying my hand at instrument crafting. I've never felt more butch
