  1. I've been making clothes again and the weather's nice today, so pic spam incoming. Starting with this lace shrug I knitted from handspun yarn a while ago, but only blocked this week #knitting #handspun #lace

  16. Migraine/eye grumbles are settling in with the warm spike means I am finding it very hard to concentrate on editing.

    So, Feb craft update published, recipe written up for patrons. And a little bit of work done.

    Then off screens, all the sock left-overs rewound and boxed. Running away from wheel as the drive band needs replacing, and the espinner requires far too much concentration.

    Maybe knitting will need less from the eyes. And tea. 'Cos ... tea.

  21. This scarf is a gift for my uncle, inspired by quartz clusters we saw together backpacking in Cottonwood Canyon in Death Valley. From what I've been reading I think they were formed by intrusive igneous rock forming around xenoliths, and by cooling very slowly forming the incredible quartz crystals we saw, which looked like rings around the darker xenoliths in the weathered rock face we saw. I'm not trained as a geologist though and would love to find more information about the geology of Cottonwood Canyon from someone with some real expertise!

    The wool is targhee roving I got at the nor cal ren faire. I spun it on my small cross arm spindle and wove it on a loom I've been borrowing from a friend. It's plain weave set at 8epi. It looked very open on the loom, but fulled into a wonderfully bouncy and dense fabric.

    After fulling I scoured the fabric, then used rubber bands to do this shibori inspired dye process. After putting on the rubber bands I gave it a bath in tannins I extracted from an oak gall, then in a bath of cool water with just a tiny bit of dissolved ferrous sulfate. It was so exciting to see the fabric turn grey in a a matter of just a few minutes when I put it in the iron bath!

  26. Knitting with my #handspun :) thought a Musselburgh had would be good for my first handspun (yes I was very extra with the label)

  27. Now BLOCKING!!!
    Honestly I was casting off with shaking hands. That nervous I was…
    But: there’s a bit yarn left over from one sleeve but with the other one: I won yarn chicken. HA.
    Happy with the length of the body and the sleeves.
    Hope that blocking will keep it in shape!
