Alright science enjoyers, I have collected some data for us 👩‍🔬

Ordered the yarn on Sunday, still feeling absolutely terrible.

Package arrived Tuesday around noon, later that day I managed to record a short video for Ko-fi members, and by that night OH was saying "you sound a lot less cough-ey".

Next few days, made sure to pet the yarn and look at the yarn and take photos of the yarn. A lingering cough remains, and my voice took a while to come back but otherwise the recovery seems complete.

Things definitely took a turn for the better on Tuesday, that's all I'm saying.

Ten skeins of yarn, all with Ice Yarns logo on the ball band. They're all plain colours, a combination of off-white, dark green and dark blue.

I'm playing fast and loose with the yarn cos I don't have any DK weight stuff, and you are supposed to double it anyway, and this yarn I do have is suuuuuuuper cute and suuuuuuuuper soft.

Question for the #weaving bubble on here - anyone using Treadl?

Home | Treadl
treadl.com/

I found this site and it looks interesting but before signing up I'd like to get some opinions about it.

I'm a beginning weaver, I'm interested in finding patterns and projects and ideas and maybe a bit of a community. Ravelry for weavers or something similar.

I know this is kind of a longshot questions

But I have a pattern that says to use DK weight but to double-strand it

setting aside that literally all yarn is different, even within categories, what would be a rough equivalent to use as a single strand?

background: I have some chunky yarn I'd like to use in its stead. All else fails I'll just do a swatch and see what happens

three good things:

1) i had a few chocolate chips about an hour ago and now i am frantically planning on cleaning and dying a fleece that's been in my garage since 2023. i have a wee bit of inspiration to dye small bits of wool in various colors and then use them for embroidery on another project that's been languishing for a while.

chocolate chips as instant motivation? maybe! i'm not sure how long this energy will last, but i'll take it. lol

2) i still have fairy lights in my front window and they are the special kind that flash along with whatever music is playing nearby. i may never take them down. sorry neighbors. 😌

3) did i mention that i ate a very small handful of chocolate chips? because i'm not used to that amount of caffeine (or like, any caffeine, lolol) so i am kinda spinning my wheels here. but they were pretty good and i have now reached my caffeine quota for the year. 🎉

Fossil Fibers launched a Studio Ghibli themed fiber collection for April / May (planned before the recent AI-driven Ghibli noise). I love some of them - Howl, Haku, Ponyo. But the one that got be to buy was the soot sprite kit, because I can think of all kinds of fun ways to combine these. And because they really hit the spot on Soot Sprite for me. fossilfibers.com/ #spinning #handspinning #fiberArts #fiber

I have 1200 yards of nice thick 100% wool, 2 ply from BarlettYarn in Maine. Should I make a squishy rug and felt it, or a cozy couch blanket (and also probably felt it)?

I never have large quantites of a single yarn, so I want to make something substantial, instead of lots of small things. #knitting #crochet #yarn #FiberArts

I'm also dabbling a bit with Bluesky. The weekly prompt in one of the crochet Threads there was neckwear: cowls, loops scarfs etc.
I'm not a huge fan of cowls, but was intruiged with the Moebius technique, so gave this a try. Bonus: it also doubles as a headwrap. And the yarn is beautiful.

#crochet again. Haven't used a hook in quite a while. But then there were long gradient yarn bobbles at the textile fair and like every time I couldn't resist.

Pattern is called "Blue Belle Shawl" - looks much more complicated than it is.

I think the yarn consists of 6 color segments - after 4 pattern repeats I've started on the third color so I expect to do 7 repeats in total.

Well I’ve run out of purple and the row is about 9” / 23 cm tall

I was thinking I was only going to use 6 colors in a rich, jewel-tone rainbow, but I want it to be longer which means I am going to have to incorporate a few colors I’d intended to exclude

Now to figure out the best way to integrate those other colors. They’re very light in tone and hmmmm. Maybe this will just be an ~ugly~ blanket.

Anyway, progress pic! :yarn: :crochet:

Irene (she/they, Sir/Mr.)

Been learning how to shuttle tat lace

The hardest part of it has honestly been giving myself permission to do it,

and then not getting caught up in how "good" or meritorious the finished pieces are.

Also working thru the worry that my creations have to be useful in some way or else they dont deserve to exist,

which of course touches feelings i have about myself & my usefulness/right to exist...

Anyway plz enjoy this snowflake

I wasn’t too sure about this tapestry piece while it was a work-in-progress but I’m pleased with how it turned out - pattern from this book I picked up at a charity shop (I assumed Winterthur was in Austria or Germany so it was quite surprising to learn it was in Delaware!) #fiberarts
