This is actually imitation synthetic beeswax but it was still made by bees. You ought to see them in their tiny little laboratory.
Spring Light. Made by Stephanie Wilds.
The finished goldenrod shirt! I am so pleased with how this has turned out!
The chest pocket is no longer functional. I was originally not going to embroider all the way through it, but i wasnt liking how it would sag when worn and how that inturrupted the lines of the plant. It was much easier to tack it down fully.
Its been so nice to be able to wear this finally! I got it done in time for (canadian) thanksgiving and it was the perfect warmth for the weather we had.

My linen quilt is finished!! This was made from all leftover linen from garments i've made- i always get way too much yardage, whoops- except the black. I was planning on using the black for garment things but then i had this quilt idea, so, pivoted.
This was a beast but im so so happy with how it turned out. Shes very moody.
It was machine pieced but hand quilted. I really fell in love with hand quilting while making this! Throwing on an audio book and just sewing for 3ish hours in the evenings was lovely and calming.
And if you ever want to quilt with linen, spray starch is your best friend. Lots of spray starch.
Also a lil banner i whipped up after from an extra repeat block i had!

Just learned this absolutely delightful bit of etymology:
During the 15th century, the English had an endearing practice of granting common human names to the birds that lived among them. Virtually every bird in that era had a name, and most of them, like Will Wagtail and Philip Sparrow have been long forgotten. Polly Parrot has stuck around, and Tom Tit and Jenny Wren, personable companions of the English countryside, are names still sometimes found in children’s rhymes. Other human names, however, have been incorporated so durably into the common names that still grace birds as to almost entirely obscure their origin. The Magpie, a loquacious black and white bird with a penchant for snatching shiny objects, once bore the simple name “pie,” probably coming from its Roman name, “pica.” The English named these birds Margaret, which was then abbreviated to Maggie, and finally left at Mag Pie. The vocal, crow-like bird called Jackdaw was also once just a “daw” named “Jack.” The English also gave their ubiquitous and beloved orange-bellied, orb-shaped, wren-sized bird a human name. The first recorded Anglo-Saxon name for the Eurasian Robin was ruddoc, meaning “little red one.” By the medieval period, its name evolved to redbreast (the more accurate term orange only entered the English language when the fruit of the same name reached Great Britain in the 16th century). The English chose the satisfyingly alliterative name Robert for the redbreast, which they then changed to the popular Tudor nickname Robin. Soon enough, the name Robin Redbreast became so identified with the bird that Redbreast was dropped because it seemed so redundant.
I finished the quilt! I finished it Christmas eve morning with just enough time to wash it and photograph it in the brief daylight.
I gave it to dad this afternoon, along with some new light blue sheets to go with it.

2 shrups, a shrase, and 2 shrowls
also i have a lot to say about my mending abilities so far in the vein of like not producing it in the way i like yet and constantly comparing my work to others' but that can be for tomorrow too i'm too tired rn. and also also my partner and i finished atla tonite so we need something new to watch. muchhhhhh to consider
A friend commissioned me to patch their grandpa's old Carhartt jacket <33
test weaving of penelope's tapestry on the chiusi skyphos:
reference:
there are some adjustments I need to make for tension, but I'd like to make the next version into a header band for a warp-weighted loom so I can try weaving the whole pot, including telemachus and penelope.
progress?
the proportions on the header band have improved, but I think I maybe should have doubled the weft threads for the warp.
also if anyone wants to knit the heddles for me, please be my guest. the last time I tied on heddles, I put the bar in the wrong place and had to redo the whole thing.
in true penelope fashion, I may need to unweave and start over, but at least now I've got the loom weights and heddles in place.
I started weaving the spear, penelope, and the right border via double-weave with the intent to leave the remaining warp threads unwoven (as they would be on penelope's loom on the pot), but predictably this is giving me tension problems. I either need to increase the loom weights or just weave the black layer and leave the orange warp threads unwoven, and then switch colors once I get to the heddle bars in the drawing, with the black warp threads floating on top. (I guess weft-faced tapestry would be a third option, if I add a ton more tension.)
either way, this is going to take me the full three years of penelope's stratagem, or perhaps the entire twenty years of odysseus's absence, primarily because clearing the sheds takes a monumental effort each time with this double-weave setup (which I'm not even sure is how it's supposed to be done, I kind of set it up based on vibes and what I thought made sense from floor loom setups).
I have 999 problems and warp tension is 997 of them (the other two are my selvedges).
gonna finish this one tomorrow. that acorn dyed hand spun again. using a more consistent thickness yarn is actually making such a huge difference
