  6. Der Alpakaschal ist fertig gewebt. Jetzt muss er nur noch gewaschen werden. Er kann käuflich erworben werden: Der nächste Winter wird kommen.
    Das weiche Garn stammt ausschließlich von unseren eigenen Alpakas und ist natürlich ungefärbt. Nachhaltiger geht es nicht: am Ende seiner Lebensdauer kann er einfach kompostiert werden.

  7. Oooh, kickstarter for a new PNW wild dye book by a very cool dyer I have followed for several years. She does some beautiful and rare dye techniques-- purples and blues from lichens and fungus, dyes that change colour in sunlight, etc. (Book has a big ole ethics section, as you should expect with foraging and especially lichens.)

  12. Visited the #AmericanSwedishInstitute today for the exhibit "Handwoven: Between Chaos and Order" by Emelie Röndahl. She weaves "rya", a form of weaving that results in a sheepskin-like appearance. Traditionally the fuzzy side was down for warmth while the decoration was more legible on the flat side, but Röndahl plays with this convention. Here's both sides of a large work. One artifact of photographing the work is the contrast of the flat side is heightened-- it is more subtle to the unassisted eye.

  21. 🧵 People often ask me, how they could test, if they like #stitching without having learnt #embroidery. I recommend #intuitiveStitching, it's like #doodles with a needle and you see quick success. If you like it, you then can start to learn simple stitches. Just be wild and play like a child!

  25. Vt Digger: ‘Craftivism’ makes a comeback as local knitters spin yarns about ICE resistance. “Knitted red hats have become a form of silent protest for those using handmade crafts as a form of political engagement in opposition to federal immigration policies.”

  27. HEY!
    Look at this cool animation about knitting and how it affects our emotional state.

    This is a cool bit of animation and just the kind of inspiration we need for boxing day.

  29. I just had a series of conversations where I learned Home Economics classes are apparently not a universal experience for my peers. I think maybe it's part of why I've had such a hard time living with folks, because I thought we all had the same education on basic life-skills, and I was the only one who gave enough of a rip to wash the dishes the right way.

    I also didn't know it was considered regressive (when it was considered at all), as I thought it was part of an initiative to make sure folks knew how to do basic life-skills, regardless of gender.

    This video definitely was educational for me:

  34. Scored a really cool find at the thrift store yesterday - a 75x80cm crocheted Virgin Mary in a frame - for $15! I can feel the finger and wrist pain of whoever made it just by looking at it. There is no way I was letting her go anywhere, but to a house that fully appreciates the craft (not so much the lore though)!

  35. New to me and discovered via MetaFilter (what, y’all don’t read MetaFilter?): The Sampler Archive. From the front page: “The Sampler Archive database has been designed to share detailed information and high-resolution images of American girlhood samplers and pictorial embroideries from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.”

  36. I got a #Janome sewing machine for a project I'm doing making a community quilt with older queer adults and wow, it is a 100x better than a heavy duty Singer machine.

    Too bad the machine will belong to my research lab when I'm done and not to me 😭
