Today's impulse buy at the thrift store was this wooden doodad that I'm assuming has something to with spinning wool, though I'm not entirely sure. Is it a weird looking spindle? Something else? Any ideas?
Edit: several people have suggested a phang spindle (yay, new word!), which seems very likely. And know I have a name to do more research.

Had a great visit to the Paisley Thread Mill museum yesterday. It is volunteer run and the woman who took us round was very informative. #Paisley #FibreArts

🧶🧶🧶 Interesting brief article about knitting and political resistance - the red hat.
"People who opposed the occupation and the Nazis were known as... the Norwegian Nazi equivalent of libtards. Nazis also frequently accused their opposition of being communists."

🧶🧶🧶 FINALLY back in the saddle with knitting. Nasty old shoulder injury cropped up about a month ago. Ugh, soooo painful.
Started this new Stephen West shawl, #Icelandscape, only to realize I don't have enough yardage of colors, so am subbing in some solid sections which should work fine. It's good to have needles back in my hands, and to be back with all y'all!!

Why wool and other natural fibers are superior, plus best techniques to use these textiles on the bed - like forming a heat envelope. Worthwhile!

🐑⚓️🐑 NAVAJO SHEEP - THE CHURRO 🐑⚓️🐑
"In the 1930s, massive herds were slaughtered without permission... (R)educed from over two million to less than 450 sheep by the 1970s. It's a financial and cultural wound from which the #Navajo people are still recovering. Now, conservation efforts have revived the Navajo Churro."

🐑⚓️🐑 NAVAJO CHURRO SHEEP 🐑⚓️🐑
"Across high seas in wooden galleons, each introduced a genetically distinct breed with origins in various regions of Old Spain. Together, these four distinct breed lines merged to become the renowned Navajo Churro of the southwest."

🐾🐕🐾 "Puppy Copper accepted by the sheepdog pack??!!"
More antics of a shepherding dog in training, in some misty nook of Scotland. Delightful! Loving this channel, it's keeping me sane ATM. Sometimes set to music.

I love watching this working sheep dog. Look at her intention, herding those sheep from field to pen, and then in pen, separating out one. I could watch this all day! "Brave sheepdog vs big angry ram"

Tonight I quickly [30 minutes] made my very first crochet fidget toy. I found the pattern on Pinterest for free, so thought I'd share it.

Four double pointed needle knitting in the center, one single needle nalbinding around the edge.
i'm having fun blending various knitting styles while practicing my increases.
i'm thinking of eventually picking up the nalbinding stitches on some circulars to add some lace to the edge.

🧶🧶🧶 Slowing things down a lot on this #WestKnitsMysteryMusiKAL shawl, designed by #StephenWest of #WestKnits.
Clue #2 - nine curvy bands of color - each held to the next with narrow eyelet strip in pink mohair.
Teaching myself to enjoy the process. Turns out there is no race against time, just an old habit to rush, that I'm working on eradicating.

🧶🍾🥂🧶 Clue #2 = soooo much easier!
Yes there is stitch counting for short rows. Using stitch markers helped a lot with both those things. Looks more orange here than in real life.
I go back and forth between liking this #MKALand finding it all too busy. I proceed, having faith in #StephenWest and #WestKnits. Onward!

🧶🧶🧶 Jesus, Mary and Joseph, people! FINALLY finished Clue #1 of #MKAL- the MusiKAL shawl from #StephenWest of #WestKnits. It was a beast.
All those ends to sew in. Juggling 3 needles for all those welts. The constant color changes. Aiaiaiai.
Clue #2, with its glorious long bands of garter stitch, here I come!

so i learned that the nalbinding stitch that i use worked flat gives me a very similar space as garter stitch, but wider? and with one row instead of two.
the sample here is increased 2 stitches at the pink markers and decreased 2 stitches at the blue markers without a "knit all" row in between as the single needle knotted stitch seems to incorporate it.
when i tried it with the extra full row, the mitered bits were not as sharply defined, so i'm going to see what happens by making an EZ Surprise Scarf with this method and seeing how the stripes work out. then it's casting on a Surprise Jacket time!

A lovely short (15 minutes long) documentary about the sheep, wool and knitting of the Faroe Islands. Explores the rich history, island yarn producers and designers in their studios/shops, along with the 100+ motifs associated with the island. A worthy watch!

Slogging forward on the WestKnitsMKAL2025.
I'm 2/3 of the way through clue #1. The final clue (#4) is about to come out! So, I've had to majorly adjust my self-expectations. It's OK to take longer. I don't know why I put these time pressures on myself.
Peeked ahead at clues #2 and #3. This design is wild! Based on music.

OMG I finally finished part one of clue one of the #StephenWest #MKAL. Hooray!
Tried for the brioche stitch for THREE AND A HALF DAYS!!!!! Still couldn't conquor it, although I think I finally understand what went wrong. Epic fail.
Plus a color change. Plus a color order change. Finally, off to the races. Yay! #WIPWednesday
