#fiber-arts — Public Fediverse posts

I've been wanting to try and needle felt a highland cow for ages but this visit to friends in Aberdeen was the perfect opportunity. I knew they'd appreciate a handmade gift even if it turned out slightly wonky, which it definitely did.

But it's also very cute, and I had a lot of fun making it! Maybe I'll grab some better photos before we leave but also maybe I'll forget so this one might have to do.

Another tick for the #FinishOrFrogAlong list!

Armhole is reached on the body, first sleeve cast on. On the way to knitting group today I'll drop into a fibercraft store to find buttons.

And the sleeve is perfect for knitting on it in company - it's straight without any shaping so no keeping tracks of rounds necessary and I'm pretty sure I won't make the whole length within 2 hours.

Fresh off the loom: Corris effect scarves. Corris is an echo technique that I have played around with a couple of times before. The green one has some serious iridescence and the teal one has a bit too. After wet finishing the iridescence should come out even further.

@consumablejoy Long car rides. I got about a dozen rows done on the tunisian crochet blanket I'm working on during a 6 hour drive (each way) over Labor Day weekend. Each row on that blanket takes about half an hour to do, so it's kind of demoralizing, but when I just used it as a way to mark the time to our destination, it felt like it went faster.

Just.... 58 more to go....

Isn't this cardigan gorgeous?

I have gray corriedale spinning fiber, that probably could be spun into a 3ply fingering ...

I had different plans for the fiber, but this looks sooo tempting.

I'm close to the armhole height. This jacket is based on one I made three years ago and I want to tweak the placement of the final button hole - take it down a bit. As a few cm of additional length won't hurt, I decided to just start the armhole a bit later

And now I'm stuck between my notes (which seem correct), me counting rows (which seem also correct) and my maths (which also seems correct)

But the numbers don't add up. Maybe it was just too late

@pointysticksncoffee A juggling club. That's what I use when darning hiking socks. I do have a darning egg on a stick great for toe socks, but the hiking socks are just so much bigger.

this post made me so happy to write it, it's about learning a new #fiberarts craft (nålebinding or nalbinding) and the moment the click happens.

What's the most useful but unexpected/ unconventional piece of equipment you use for your fiber related hobby/art/craft? Tools or products that you can't seem to live (or work...) without, but that aren't usually associated with or specifically made for your craft?

I'm curious!

During knitting group today I started with the 4th ball - time to wind some more yarn. And only about 15 rows or so until I reach the armholes.

On the "original" jacket I made the sleeves after reaching armhole height and then added the live sts while knitting the front and back panels. Everything to avoid any seams because the single yarn is just to fragile to withstand being pulled through again and again.

Cleaned out the linen closet and discovered a handwoven shawl that I made years ago. I had tucked it in with the tablecloths after using it as an altar cloth and getting wax on it. 😆 Time to get it back out and use it again!
