... I haven't really posted any progress photos of my quilt, but in between catching up on work and family after my vacation, I have spent my evenings well.

I'm ready to start quilting my fabric sandwich, stitching in the ditch on my Hindeloopen-fabric quilt.

When I was cleaning yesterday I realized one of my oldest knitting projects ever is still with me - keeping Paddington’s neck warm. #knitting #fiberarts #memories

If you’ve been following this account’s pics the last few days, I do have a lot of stuffies. There are many, many more than have been pictured.

Math hivemind: I'm looking for something on the mathematics of kumihimo braiding.

The version I know of has a disk with 8 slots, and you start with 7 strings in slots. You take one of the strings, pull it out of its slot, and put it into the empty one, and repeat. It's a super simple way to make a nice braiding pattern.

See this for pictures: https://raft.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/PGS-Kumihimo.pdf

The person who showed this to me told me which number of strings worked, but I forget what she said. If you just try to do the same thing with, say, 5 strings -- make 6 slots, pull up a string two slots from the empty one, put it in the empty one, repeat -- it didn't seem to work. So it's not just 2 being relatively prime to 5 or 7.

Anyone have any links or resources on this?

Anyone here play with freeform crochet? I just discovered it & have been playing with making lots of random shapes. It's been great fun to let go of any predestined or preplanned pattern. It's also great to bust through my yarn stash.

I have no idea what all these pieces will end up turning into.

When in Hindeloopen... go find the store of Durkje de Boer. She designs amazing Hindeloper fabrics, based on the classic clothes worn by the local women.

Choose between the Sitse or bonten fabrics: can you choose?

After washing these fabrics, I noticed the reds had... well, basically most of the whites in fabrics were now pink.

But I saved the fabrics, hardly any pink left to see

And I have been thinking of a quilt (lap size) I want to make and in which combinations. I do not want to wait any longer, so I will start cutting them today.

As I'm in the middle of construction of a small quilt out of these fabrics, I noticed that two remaining "Bonten" pieces did not match well with a remaining "Sitse". A lot of web searching later (Hindeloopen style fabrics are difficult to find online, it seems), I found a new "Bonten" which does match to the "Sitse", so tonight I can use these two to create two new blocks.

Jumper knitting progress. About halfway done on the back center panel. #knitting #fiberarts

Oops forgot the photos. New cast on Fox whisperer, and 3 of the hexiflats. The hexiflats are not exciting, but I take pics when I finish each one to remember I did it. #knitting #fiberarts #FinishOrFrogAlong

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?
