Und nun sind auch Jahr, Ort und meine Initialen mit auf dem Bild.

Das finden von jemandem der das Ganze rahmen kann wird jetzt die nächste Herausforderung. Hat irgendwer mit dem Rahmen einer Stickarbeit schon Erfahrungen gemacht?

Step 2: casting on the correct amount of stitches and setting up the pattern.

It took me 4 attempts to get it right 😵‍💫

But from then on it's straight forward: 10 rows until the first button hole, 18 rows between the subsequent ones. And after 20 rows switching to larger needles. I even thought to switch the buttons to the other side (hopefully the right one?)

Now I "just" need to get to about 45 cm until I reach the armholes.

@ConnyChiwa That is so amazing, not just the handcrafting of the stitchwork, but also the interpretation of the photo in fabric form. Very nicely done!

Step one: Wind skeins into balls. At least a few of them.

In total I have 10 skeins, which is a total of 2 km. Stating yarn length in km makes the total length always looking so absurd, at least to me.

This is the cardigan I'm trying to replicate. I made a few notes when I originally knit it - I thought I might release a free pattern/ recipe for it but never got to it.

I'm leaving out the a-line shaping, my son is a very different body type. But the overall size (shoulders, length, arm holes) can be the same, the sleeves need just some lengthening.

The yarn is really durable - very little pilling for 3 years as the main winter coat.

So yesterday, I discovered nålebinding or nalbinding, an ancient nordic fiber technique for which you use wool yarn and a wooden needle to make fabric.

I experimented with a vintage darning needle,. and made a wonky first attempt.

I love it so much!

I'm going to experiment with making a hat or fingerless gloves. Socks would also be fun.

I love that I'm finally expanding my yarn crafts, first with needle punching, and now with nalbinding. I may also try weaving one of these days, as I bought a starter loom at the thrift store

Is there an accepted meaning for how the terms "knitwise" and "purlwise" apply when slipping stitches BACK from the right needle to the left needle? or any other standard terms for referring to the direction and twist of stitches when moving from the right to the left?

Stunningly beautiful necklines...

I'll save that for the next project (the current one will get a cowichan neck).

The yarn for my next knitting project arrived. It's going to be turned into a cardigan per my son's request (I'm happy to comply, he never asked for something handknit before).

This is "local" (not really to me, I'm 4 hours away from Düsseldorf, but I have family connections there) with a vintage, a mix of different breeds (the sheep are mostly landscaping) - not extremely soft, but very durable.

Hi fiber people! My mom saw a cool idea on a fiber arts newsletter and would like to pursue it with a friend, but the only place the newsletter linked to was Instagram, and my mom won't use Instagram.

So I'm asking here on her behalf: does anyone have any links where she could see examples/stories of people making Little Free Fiber Libraries? (Like Little Free Libraries, but for fiber arts.)

Links/personal experience/boosts appreciated!

@gparenti That is amazing! Can you share some of your process? Did this start as a plain towel and you filled in a band of greens and then put in irises on top?
