#fibercrafts — Public Fediverse posts

Was reminded of felt dolls I made of my OCs Summer and Luna! I'd like to retry making them again someday 💝 #art #ocsky #fibercrafts

The internet tells me that there is a book called “Natural dyes for education and colour experimentation”, targeting educational and artistic users, that can be downloaded (licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) and looks quite interesting:

Look what my dad found at his local game shop (the recently-opened White Rabbit Games in Belfast, Maine): a “fibercraft-centered journaling game” created by someone here in the fediverse, @UnformedWorlds

Looks like so much fun!

This is the project my friend and I used for her to learn to crochet..

One of us chose the pattern and one of us didn't care about the colours.. I think they both turned out great, but different.

Partner is making me a new beanie to add to the collection.

Compte rendu de mon dernier ouvrage !

Un pull sans manches improvisé. Tricoté un peu lâche pour que ça ne soit pas trop trop chaud (et pour aller un peu plus vite aussi), de bas en haut. Pas sûr d’avoir assez de fil, j’ai fait un montage provisoire et j’ai rajouté de la longueur ensuite. (en fait j’avais laaargement assez).

Col replié et cousu, il est super élastique, c’est formidable.
Épaules jointes à 3 aiguilles (version modifiée plus plate) et j’ai laissé la jointure visible sur l’endroit.
Bas (fendu des deux côtés), emmanchures et col en côtes brisées (1 rangs mailles endroit, un rang de côtes 1x1) c’est joli, ça ajoute un peu de texture. (et bonus : c’est plus rapide).

Vraiment content du rendu du col, c’était mon premier en relevant les mailles (j’avais un peu peur de faire des bêtises) et le rendu est fantastique. Je l’ai fait avec des aiguilles beaucoup plus petites (corps en 4,25, finitions en 2,5mm) pour que ça soit bien net malgré le fil qui accroche.

Le fil vient d’emmaüs donc j’ai aucune idée de ce que c’est, mais pure laine cardée non teinte (mélange de plusieurs couleurs de toison), 3 fils (fins et très serrés), sèche, très peu traitée (plein de petits débris végétaux), assez irrégulière.
Je pense que c’est une filature artisanale type laine de pays, peut-être vieille ? Le fil sent un peu le vieux fil. (Mais il est propre, c’est juste l’odeur de la vieille laine).
Un peu rêche mais ça ne pique pas du tout, et je sais qu’elle s’adoucît après le premier lavage. Et le fil est vraiment solide, ça va être un compagnon pour un bon bout de temps.

Y en avait 450g en pelotes de 50 à 90g, j’en ai utilisé un peu moins de 300 je pense.

Le reste me servira dans un pull sans manches également, ça sera un projet avec des restes et ça évoquera les cailloux sur une rive, avec des points variés.
(Et il faut toujours garder un peu de fil pour raccommoder, même si les réparations visibles c’est chouette aussi)

Je ne l’ai pas encore bloqué parce qu’il faudrait le retirer et il est TROP CHOUETTE.

J’avais vraiment besoin d’un vêtement de ce type et mon petit doigt me dit que je vais en faire d’autres. (Un plus court, plus foncé, avec des bandes de point mousse ? Je pense que ça serait cool.

@MxRemy
That looks amazing! Love your colour choices.
I've only heard of tatting, despite practising several #fibrecrafts #fibercrafts

Lollll so I found a drop spindle that's ridiculously light and the description was like "very beginner friendly, great for heavier yarn" and I eyed it and went "no that's how you teach people to spin laceweight".

@kabrams was intrigued, explored the maker's shop, bought one, and is currently like "yeah, I have a new laceweight spindle". 🤣 (they say "maybe featherweight or threadweight, actually" so like. This spindle is *so light*.)

Spending my evening spinning with my top whorl spindle and avacado merino/silk fiber from Ashford.

I’m really wanting to get a ring/finger distaff, but no one in New Zealand makes them. #spinning #fibercrafts #dropspindle

I should do a proper #introduction post.
My name is Kendra, I live in the US. I love #art #datasci #compsci #videogames #fibercrafts and other things. I post about them, #disability rights, living in a rural state, and being a parent.
I'm not always comfortable talking about my disability as it is #mentalhealth related. I was perusing an undergrad but I am taking time away from that due to life being too much. Any questions ask, I might answer.

Playing around.

This yarn is very fine linen, 500m per 100g, in several shades of jeans blue (there label says inkjet printed - whatever that means).

Like all linen, it's a challenge to knit with. I tried several needle sizes. The swatch on the right is 3.0 mm and I think that's the one I like best. There are 4 cones with a total of 2,000 m - enough for a long duster / coat, I think.

I have been seeing these crochet coaster sets all over the place suddenly. Leaves, then you put them in a crochet pot to look like leaves in a pot. I got stuck on the idea that you could make them look like flowers. I used buttons so you can attach them to the stems and stand them up in a vase. And that is how I spent my day :)

Next project - a sweater for my daughter. Now a picture in daylight with accurate colors.

The pattern is Just Dream https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/just-dream and I'm using quite large needles compared to my usual projects - 4.0 mm. Upside: much faster progess. Downside: awkward knitting (for me).

It's Finkhof yarn https://finkhof.de/wolle/wollgarne/strickwolle-duenn/-Southgerman merino. Much less soft than usual merino, but a local wool.

My kind of flowers.

I have a black thumb and plants usually don't survive. I even manage to kill a bouquet much quicker than most others.

"Spring bouquet" by #crochet #designer Natalia Erkhova from #Ukraine to the rescue.

I haven't quite established what I do here in Mastodon yet, but I'd like to cross-post this to all my platforms regardless:

I'm getting a cpap machine tomorrow. I'm very excited to get healthy, restful sleep again and will hopefully be able to do more for crafting a business.

It's also a lot of money, so check out my ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/handmadehearts

Want something I don't have in the shop? Literally just ask. If I can make it, I probably will. ✨
