A lovely short (15 minutes long) documentary about the sheep, wool and knitting of the Faroe Islands. Explores the rich history, island yarn producers and designers in their studios/shops, along with the 100+ motifs associated with the island. A worthy watch!

Anyone have any thoughts on a good quality natural fibre sewing thread? I have some projects I'm working on and want to dye with Procion but don't want undyed poly thread showing up in the mix. Linen? Cotton? Sources? Possibly in Canada?

Someone here recently was looking for size-inclusive knitting patterns. These 20 are all dupes, sized up. See link!

🐸🧶🐸 Lookity look, the frog is ON!!

Thanks to #FinishOrFrogAlong, I was finally able to let go of this project that just wasn't calling to me anymore.

Nordic roots (Estonian, Germanic) -a culture of no waste and finishing what you start - can be helpful, but not always. This shawl had become a torment. Fun to plan, not fun to knit.

It's OK to frog. It's healthy to frog!

fibrefriends! i had the chance to briefly try splicing a rope this weekend and it was fabulous. ropes are apparently only complicated yarn and parts of splicing involves actual hand sewing! it felt so rewarding and familiar and it was all colorful plastics (okay that doesn't sound so appealing 😂). i never considered the two crafts to be related but i can definitely recommend trying it if you get the chance!

a yak farm that also sells yarn from the yak wool!

They need help with repairs to their solar power system in addition to expanding their work.

Does anyone have any go-to or favorite knooking pattern sites or resources (books, pdfs, etc)?

I've got the itch to learn something new, and would love some tried and true places to start!
