Today's Forecast: Knitting And A Nap

NOTE: Do your dyeing outdoors or in a well-ventilated area! Here is a poster I illustrated that explains the quick n’ dirty method of yarn dyeing that I sometimes indulge in for my knitting projects!

Seminoles have an incredible tradition of patchwork quilting that has been appropriated and un-recognized by mainstream fashion. I feel like celebrating it.

Ahhhhhhh!!! Go read it! Go read it!! The cording was plied by Neanderthals!!! The article talks about how we can’t keep thinking about them as being stupid it’s so delightful! In these trying times, let’s read about some joyful anthropological and archaeological discoveries!!!

hey I found that the british history museum is sharing a ton of vintage knitting and crochet patterns from the 40s for free!

Project I started months ago: :(

I found this marvelous hat at my grandfather’s house and made a chart so other people can replicate this delightful pattern.

I am aware that this is very niche content that very few people will care about, but I am so freaking proud of this darning on this sock I did today.

advice for my younger self

I thought some of you might enjoy a peek at my knitting notebook! Tumblr is so useful but I really love having a physical book for storing all my yarn-related thoughts. This is where I keep cute stitch patterns, color ideas, techniques I’ve learned and even some whole patterns for taking on the go. Perfect for when I don’t have internet access and can’t remember which one is m1r and which is m1l. But mostly, it’s just so nice to sink some time into it once in a while. Taking a moment to draw pictures and make each page something pretty just for me has been so relaxing and rewarding.

Me, with a double pointed needle sticking out of my ear: sok?

90-95% of this sock has been stress knitted while at the car dealership and DMV so I don’t scream at all the people not wearing their masks properly 🙃

Hope that makes sense 😊

Also for anyone who like the pattern it’s intermingle on Ravelry (and it’s free)
