Some rainbow roots progress.

Yarn bowl I made at the ceramics class I'm taking. Here's hoping it survives firing. If it does I'm going to glaze the inside, and the opening where the yarn will run, but leave the outside unglazed.

How the rainbow roots are coming along.

Once in a while people ask if I want their old embroidery floss/thread/yarn. And I can just never say no. Usually what I get is a hopeless mess of kit remnants and other random pre cut stumps. Having spent literal hours sorting messes like that I feel like I need to use it for something.

My last gallery show had a theme of "grow roots, gather moss" but I didn't have a root themed piece as such, so this is the root inspired project I came up with. Can already tell that it will be amazing for using up all sorts of odd embroidery thread.

Another striped cat ear beanie in the works.

"Gender confused"

I mean. Yeah. Gender fucking confuses me a lot. But not the way you mean. From an agender outsider perspective gender is just hella confusing. As a concept.

Today's haul from my local little free library/book swap place. The Three Musketeers in three volumes and the Vicomte de Bragelonne in four volumes, all by Alexandre Dumas. And then Robinson Crusoe and a volume of fairy tales by H.C. Andersen.

Here's how the scarf wip is going.

This project is going slow, but it's going.

Pretty happy with this cowl. Only had two buttons that would fit the style, but then I found this hand forged penannular brooch that I had forgotten I even owned. So that will work nicely I think.

Finished beanie. Really happy with that tbh. I didn't have enough of the pretty ombre yarn to make a pom pom though. Only a little bit of the blue green shade. But I did have some leftover single ply tweed type yarn in a muted green speckled with yellows and purples. With both remnants mixed into a pom pom it just looks like it was meant to be.

Just this pretty yarn again. Bit more green irl, but anyway, how gorgeous is this ombre?!!

Was reminded by Facebook that it's been three years since this sweet little thing became mine. Can't imagine life without him. <3

Just love this yarn. Super soft, super pretty, perfect ombre... i.e. color changes not too abrupt, nor too uneven for my taste, just super smooth. This will probably be another beanie of some sort. I already have a cowl in this yarn, so matching beanie makes sense.

Just a close up of the embroidered part of my moss wall rug.

I'm taking a ceramics course at the local Adult Education Center this term, so I pulled out the one item I still have left from the last time I did any ceramics... and realised, from the signature on it, that it's legit been 20 years.
