Thanks everyone for being here this month. #handspinning #knitting #crochet #weaving #quilting #sewing #crafting #crossStitch #leathercraft #FiberArts #handmade #embroidery

My biggest accomplishment was engaging with all of you #FinishOrFrogAlong folks! I finished one washcloth, one spinning project, and 5 hexiflats (including one handspun one). I also cast on the Fox Whisperer shawl after encouragement from all of you!

I love engaging with all ya’ll now and throughout the year. Thanks everyone! Let’s keep the connection energy going!

Today’s #FinishOrFrogAlong Q&A: well, we have talked about our favorite projects and our dream projects. Maybe you found some inspiration from something someone else is working on.

What do you have teed up as your next project? Are you pushing ahead on finishing or frogging more stuff? Or are you casting on or otherwise starting something new?

#SciArtSeptember Day 27: Symbiosis.

My spouse shared these guys with me recently; they're volcano snails (Chrysomallon squamiferum). They live near hydrothermal vents deep in the ocean, and their shells contain iron, as do the unusual overlapping scales on their foot!

They have symbiotic gammaproteobacteria inside their oesophageal gland, which probably provide them food (no sunlight down there!).

Hello #FinishOrFrogAlong peeps! We are at the start of Week 4! Today’s Q&A is: what else do you hope to accomplish this week - or into October if you’re continuing the finish-or-frog-along push? What kind of support might be helpful?

Today’s #FinishOrFrogAlong Q&A — what is one of your favorite finished items that you have made (ever, not just during FOFA)? Feel free to answer multiple times if you have many things you’d like to share with us. I love getting inspired by all the work you’ve done.

Hello #FinishOrFrogAlong peeps! Today’s Q&A is: what project is on your wishlist to make “someday” - when do you hope to do it or what’s stopping you? Is it a dream, or do you actually plan to make it… someday?

#SciArtSeptember Day 21: Tiles.

I made this reversible blackwork bookmark for myself! The snake scale pattern looks like a tile design (to me).

The snake is by me, the flowers are based on a border by Ilse Altherr in her second book, and the scales gradient pattern is by me (although it's so simple I'm sure others have done it before me!).

Hello #FinishOrFrogAlong peeps! We are at the end of Week 3. Hope you are all having a productive month of clearing out those WIPs one way or another. How are you all doing and feeling today?

Hello #FinishOrFrogAlong peeps! Today’s Q&A is: what tips do you have for addressing the top blockers people have for finishing projects? The number one poll winner was - blocking! Lots of people said they either don’t enjoy or don’t have the time or space to block. Any tips or tricks to get over that last hump?

#handspinning #knitting #crochet #weaving #quilting #sewing #crafting #crossStitch #leathercraft #FiberArts #handmade #embroidery

I need to pull upon the collective consciousness of the interwebs to locate a needlework pattern.

Here's what I know:

• My husband saw the kit in a San Francisco store about 10 years ago
• The store likely sold all sorts of needle kits, so this pattern could have been #needlepoint #crossstitch #crewel #embroidery or something else
• The pattern is described as a "hummingbird chasing the tail of a plane"
• Only the tail end of the plane was visible
• The plane in questions is a French Nieuport, possibly model 17, with red, white, and blue on the tail
• He's pretty sure the background was white or light colored
• And the hummingbird was larger than life in comparison to the plane

Internet searches are pulling up a lot of garbage, especially AI slop.

Boosts are appreciated!

I would love to find this pattern and make it for him. TIA!
