#fiber-arts — Public Fediverse posts

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?

Status update on the blanket I’m knitting for my sister, if you’ve ever wanted to see sibling love embodied.

Ignore the cat hair and the cat toys. The former will be removed from the final product, the latter is just how we live man.

I had hoped that alternating sides of Coppergate would have canceled out the twist but my scarf project is turning into a tight spiral. Hopefully it blocks out! #fiberarts

Oslo adds a twist on one of the loops that makes it better for hems but also makes it less squishy than the Coppergate. Both are two loops from the current row and two from the previous one. #fiberarts

Almost finished with a new nålbinding hat. Started with a soft Norwegian yarn, but ran out so I did the rest with slightly scratchy Icelandic lopi. Coppergate is really fast compared to Oslo; this is around six hours of work. #fiberarts

Nearly 3 years ago I made myself a coat / jacket from a rather rustic yarn - rh:ool single. A simple form, faux fisherman's rib (a highly textured stitch that creates a very threedimensional fabric).

A few months ago my 25 yo son asked, if I could make him a similar garment.

Of course I can.

That's the same child that found mercerised cotton itchy when he was in grade school ...

Off to order some yarn https://www.rhool.de/shop/p/rhool-single-duesseldorf-24

I crocheted another mesh baggy. This time a larger one. It can fit more stuff but i only found two sweaters and my yarn to show how the bag looks.

Interesting thoughts about Kaffe Fassett.

Many years ago I could attend a talk he gave at the needleart fair "Nadelwelt" in Karlsruhe - must have been around 2008 or so.

Very inspiring, very interesting. I still can't for the life of me work with color, but I love his art.

I finally got around to writing about the Gay & Grey Montreal Community Quilt project that I organized and facilitated back in 2025!

I don't know which side I will use for the pillow though 😀
