#yarnuary — Public Fediverse posts

Finally, my best #Yarnuary tip. If you're lucky enough to be bought an adjustable tailor's dummy for Christmas, make sure you take your measurements like I did, early on Boxing Day. You may be horrified at the time but now I feel smug knocking off a few centimetres without suffering too much dieting hell.

how is it the end of #yarnuary already? idk. time is weird.

I am planning a new linen sweater and I am arranging my color palette so I can make some plans. Rosie is here to help, because of course she is.

this yarn is from colourmart, I love their wind-it-yerself bargain bin. I think it's a fun challenge to start with a limited set of colors. left to my own devices I only buy jewel tones, but my clothes are mostly neutrals so buying a mix of both is perfect for me (and cheaper too!)

#Yarnuary goals... try to get my yarn stash down! When the red/grey freeform crochet jacket is done, I was bought lots of sea-themed yarn. I'm thinking of an overskirt with a stormy sea theme or a dress.

longer term goals for this year are shadow weave (y'all are going to love that) and plaited twill.

I bought some new books and they are so full of interesting ideas! the double two-tie book is especially exciting, because it has some very cool things you can do with twill. I have always been fascinated by plaited twill and now I'm finally going to buckle down and figure out how it works.

#yarnuary goals? well, right now I'm continuing my color-and-lace explorations. I'm catching up on homework for the JST online classes by doing two projects at once. the rainbow curtains were also homework. homework can be fun when there's no grades and no pressure!

this project has a Fibonacci stripe sequence with Atwater-Bronson lace blocks. it's probably going to be towels unless it washes up too drapey. then ... idk. maybe I will wear it! I love wearing orange and pink.

#yarnuary - what do you want to learn this year?

I want to learn more about weaving. I have a table loom but have done very little with it so far. I have so many ideas - using some handspun, making cloth for a simple garment like a ruana, learning double weave.

I've probably too many ideas and can't really decide, where to start ...

Or maybe finally tablet weaving.

Too. Many. Ideas.

No need to spend $100+ on a bobbin winder when you can get the job done with a drill and some basic hardware. #weaving #fiberarts #yarnuary

#yarnuary What do you want to learn/ do this year?

Last year I said I wanted to try brioche and double knitting, then did absolutely nothing about it! So this year I will learn brioche and double knitting (and possibly entrelac, inspired by the recent posts about this)

I have just ordered the wool for my mum’s birthday cardigan (luckily her birthday is in November so I have plenty of time) and I need to re knit my nephew’s Xmas jumper, as age 13 was still too small for his 11 year old self!

Weather is grey and windy so have just finished sewing up a pair of knitted baby joggers, from the same John Lewis pattern book that the bobbly hat pattern is from (reduced to £1.80 in the January Sale!) #yarnuary #knitting @knitting

#yarnuary Favorite tools? I'm a Bates crochet hook person - the two styles are Bates and Boye, and they differ in tapering point of the hook, shape of the throat, and placement of the thumb. Judging by what's in my big can o' hooks, my favorites are plastic L (8mm) hooks and metal H (5mm) hooks. It has been my unscientific observation that in general, knife hold/overhand crocheters tend to prefer Bates, and pen hold/underhand crocheters tend to prefer Boye.

#yarnuary - what was your greatest mistake, your best fix?

I think I've already talked about that here some time ago.

I once knit 2-in-1 socks - that's knitting them in a sort of double knitting, one inside of the other. It went well for quite some time, but at one point I got too confident and didn't check as much, as I should have - and connected the two tubes.

What to do?

Dropping the stitch and knitting it back up of course.

more about tools for #yarnuary

I really like my louet Jane. I have had it almost as long as my big loom, maybe a year less, and we get along so well.

my favorite trick is to sley the reed from the middle out while it's flat in the beater. it is so much easier than working vertically and so much easier than counting/measuring dents. I like that my elbows stay down and my light is right where I need it to be.

#yarnuary My best fix was removing the sleeves when reknitting a jumper to incorporate bust adjustment... and grafting them back on *grins*

I mainly work with non-superwash wool and I really enjoy spit-splicing. I halve the plies where they'll overlap, give them real saliva, and rub briskly between my palms to felt the join. No sewing of ends for the win :)
