Lemme tells ya,

This yarn chicken was INTENSE Y'ALL !

To anyone who has ever created a free #sewing / #cosplay / #knitting / #crochet / cross-stitch / #weaving / #embroidery / #lace / insert-yarncraft-here / pattern, and then put it somewhere on the internet for others to try ...

May all the Deities Bless You.

THANK YOU.

I want to get back to knitting and crochet, but I need to look at what exercises and wrist supports are best because after getting knitter's elbow a few years back, my esp outer forearm has never been the same.

Also wondering if sitting in a reading type pillow with the arm rests would help?

Soooo #hobbii brand got bought by a "Tech company" and the CEO recently made a LinkedIn post all about how ~great AI generated images~ are.

Notably they didn't put that on their store anywhere - just LinkedIn.

Aaaand the backlash has been swift.
Consumer trust ? Nuked from space.
Influencer Goodwill? *obliterated*.

Why buy a company to just destroy it ?

Now i've finished my first ever sock the question of whether to wet block or not to block ...

It's currently a *smidgen* too tight but blocking might makes it just way too big..?
hmm 🤔

Historical Knitting & Crochet question:

How old is the usage of Blocking Pins* ?

Presumably it's tied to the invention and popular usage of rust proof pins - so somehow tied to Victorian Era Industrialisation ? - but this is hard for me, a non Historian to research.

[* Blocking Pins are groups of pins that today usually have plastic handles but can also be made with wooden handles]

Just boosting this, can anyone help with a historical Yarncraft question?

#Knitting #YarnCraft #YarnWitch #CircularNeedles

Circular needles are fun!

Thought I might have to buy new ones as 25 cm is short, but too long for what I am doing but .. tomorrow I will try magic loop with the other much longer cabled needles I have.

::Sigh:: Reading and watching tutorials really is no substitute for actually *doing the thing*

[~I know this~ and yet I keep having to relearn this fact !]

Loom knitting, apparently dates back to at least the 14th Century and is a completely valid form of yarn crafting.

I've found my circular knitting needles!

I have never knit with them before.

Please share with me your easiest, beginner level, DK weight, free (or cheap) patterns.

Thanks 👍🏾

My needles range from 3.75 - 10mm and I have varying interchangeable cable lengths :)

Thanks to @RogerBW and @TindrasGrove who already gave me some help

HOW COME NONE OF Y'ALL TOLD ME THAT MAKING YARN CAKES WITH A YARN WINDER IS SO RELAXING ? ?

#Yarnwitch #YarnCraft #Knitting #Crochet

Am #knitting something with thicker wool than pattern recommends and am 36 rows into 80 rows of approx 100 (?) row pattern and already eyeing half ball of yarn and doing *intense* yarn chicken.

Wish me luck.

World news is increasingly CUCKOOBANANAPANTS!

Sooooo I'm using the remainder of my birthday money to buy a Yarn winder in a vain attempt to stack and store all my yarn stash in one place - and potentially declutter 🤷🏿‍♀️🙃

How ya doing and what's your craft / art / Hobby related coping mechanism for 2026* ?

[* For Fucks Sake - it's not even the end of January !]

#Craft #Yarn #YarnCraft #YarnWitch #Art #Hobby

So is it just me that feels like Bilbo Baggins at the start of every new yarn project ?
Instead of:

"I'm going on An Adventure!"

I just find myself thinking -

"I'm gonna make A Thing!"

#Knitting #Crochet #Yarn #Yarncraft #YarnWitch

I crocheted (a very wonky) BJD hat !

1/3 scale, it took me about five days because I was following a YouTube tutorial and .. the tutorial wasn't paced very well or even mostly in focus :C

BUT

I made A Thing from yarn !

Why do you #Knit / #Crochet / #Yarncraft* ?

If why you Yarncrafts is not on the poll please elaborate in the comments.

Thank you

[Yarncraft: Anything involving yarn/wool/thread, #embroidery, #macrame, #lace making, #weaving, rug tufting a bazillion things I prob don't know about. If *you* think it's a Yarncraft, it counts]

Ah crochet magic circle - my old nemesis

We meet again. 😑

You shan't defeat me this time.

I have a renewed sense of stubbornness on my side.

Yesh.

Me: I think I need to buy a book on how to knit socks

Boyf: Do you need a book though? Isn't a sock just a tube.. ?

Me: NO SIR. A SOCK IS NOT *JUST* A TUBE.
IS YOUR FOOT JUST A TUBE?
HOW VERY DARE YOU.
GO LOOK AT AN ACTUAL SOCK !?
:: seeth ::

Boyf: Ah. Yes. Uhm. Not a Tube. Got it.

--------------------
Okay, I don't make New Year's resolutions but I am putting this out into the world now

By the end of 2026 I wish to have successfully knitted ONE sock

Not a pair. Just a single Sock.

A pair would be Fantasti! BUT I want an achievable aim and I've various hurdles to overcome in order to finish a sock

Wish me luck

Ahahaha! It. Is. Done! Only took me three years. The (extremely synthetic) yarn has been in my stash for about a decade. Is it very good? Meh, it's alright. It fits (just) and I like the colours. But most importantly, i can finaly put this thing behind me and move onto other knitting projects (hello, socks!)

It feels like Hank Green has inadvertantly pissed off all Knitters / Yarn Crafters everywhere and as much as I like him generally.. I wouldn't Bet against the Yarn Crafters for all the Money in the WORLD.. *

If you Weave, Spin or Felt (is Felt a Verb?) and are in the UK, this UK shop is having a closing down sale until May 16th 2025.

I haven't bought from them myself, but the savings look decent.

good luck - and be quick !
