I've been running a stitch n' bitch for fun and it helped me to finish this embroidery I started like 2 years ago and kept forgetting about.
I love pictures of knitters modeling clothes they made for themselves.
In a world that often tells us our bodies are wrong and gives us crappy options for expressing ourselves through our clothes, there’s something delightful and healing about women (and others!) modeling clothes they made *just* for themselves, that looks fabulous on them 🥹
Socks again.
This was a really quick project, just a bit more than a 3-day-weekend. But they are a bit smaller than usual as my daughter's feet are about 2 sizes smaller than mine.
I bought the yarn on a whim and because I know the dyer, go to knit nights at her shop occasionally. And because I (and my daughter) love rainbows.
My standard sock template with faux cables along the sides. I think they came out great.

Do I need more yarn?
No.
Can I resist a pretty skein of sock yarn?
Of course not.
Those two went home with me when I visisted yarn shops the last few weeks. But the rainbow one is already on the needles and the other one will be next, so they don't really "enter" the stash.
Giant naalbinding needle that I made from the handle of a bamboo toothbrush, inspired by a Sally Pointer video (upcycling, waste not want not, etc.). This size will be great for making netted bags. I had a netted shopping bag years ago that I just loved, but it wore out, and I miss it. Time to replace it and maybe make a few extras, for myself or as gifts.

Further progress has been made. The body is done, all that’s left is the handles.

Here he is, Drogo the dragon plush! I made a little dragon about three years ago for the (then newborn) son of my sister in law. Recently, she got another child and that child of course needs their own dragon plushie!
Pattern: Juvenile Dragon by Megan Lapp, no wires used since it's for a newborn
Yarn: Rico Baby Merino Print (main color) and Drops Baby Merino (wings)
3mm hook

I just finished my latest pair of socks. These are handspun, four ply, toe-up, double gusset, princess sole, with built-in bunny fur. Whew! I think it took longer to write that than it did to make them. #handspinning #handmade #handcraft #wool #fiberarts
Practicing #spinning. It’s becoming something I do when I want to zone out for a moment, usually in the evening. I still haven’t purchased any carding combs (although I think I will at some point) and I’m working with the short-fiber native cotton I grew, so it’s a bit challenging but I like it.
In the same way that working with clay needn’t be a consumer hobby, I’m seeing how far I can get with just this homemade spindle. #fiberarts #handmade #crafts
