hiii sorry I've been absent! I decided to learn to crochet and accidentally made a sweater for husb. it fits me perfectly so it'll fit him perfectly too (we are the same man)
if you see my mistakes no you don't.
learning to knit has instilled in me the "we have food at home" impulse about knitted sweaters where whenever i see a sweater that i like i'm like "okay but i shouldn't buy this, i can just make it myself." except unlike having food at home, making it myself does not save me any time or money. in fact it takes much more of both
what is your LEAST favorite stitch?
I don't like counted work at fucking all. So: the cross stitch.
reading this as someone who does cross stitch but is scared of the other kinds of embroidery is like overhearing an incredibly tall and buff person say they have beef with Mr. Tom, the kitten that chills at the bookstore
FUCK Mr. Tom and his stupid little fluffy tail ok. And his little charted designs.
Okay, but this neglects the true villain of embroidery stitches: the French knot
Don't you dare malign my girl again
Ok the french knot is very useful but it is a BITCH to do it consistently
We talk about how this website’s hate mail game is insane, but this might just be a new level
I saw this pattern and insta-bought it (which I never ever do). It is my ✨favorite✨ shoulder construction, the lace is pretty, and I had the exact amount of yarn for my size already :3 it seemed fated.
The v-neck is pretty deep for me (as a guy) so I edited the decreases on the neckline (I charted it out and can post that if anyone wants to see it?). Also, the arm circumference is too small for me so I had to rearrange the number of stitches moved to scrap for the sleeves and cast on more under the arm (as usual).
The one thing I will say, is that it’s very unpleasant and finicky to have to switch back and forth between needle sizes and I would have liked to have known that before buying the pattern (it should perhaps be mentioned on the pattern page, esp if you want to knit a gauge swatch before buying the pattern). I'm using size 2.5 and size 6 needles. I'm just lucky I have a (cheap) interchangeable set now so that I'm actually able to knit this. Trying to switch back and forth needle sizes on DPNs would be a nightmare...
But it's knitting up rather quickly and it's fun to switch between the different textures/laces.
Pattern: Knot To Be Missed by Rachel Illsley

this is just a prototype/concept testing thingamabob BUT.... This is spider silk embroidery! It's literally a tiny rectangle (less than a centimeter) but it's so shiny and pretty.
Collected from webs of the Joro spider, a type of golden orb weaver. Yes, it's naturally that golden
This is from the support threads, not washed at all. The sticky inner web wasn't used, as it's goopy and full of debris. The support threads are also the longest and the strongest, so i can pluck off 1-2ft sections at a time (usually combining a few separate strands into one thread)
And some photos of the back + the hoop contraption, made with spare parts:
Dunno what i'll do with this concept yet but i think the whole thing would look cool covered in these rectangles. It would be nice to embroider a joro spider with it, but I don't have the colors (and it'd be mighty complex) but we'll see
I knitted a jabot to match my lace cuffs for a vampire costume and I love it it's SO ruffly
yarn skein: is not center pull
me (reaching my claws into the center with the precision of a lobster performing open heart surgery): you are now
my first shot at embroidery, circa 2019
A minor stress of yarncrafts which I don't see discussed much:
There is a small tangle in your yarn. Topologically you know it must be a slipknot; if you give it a good firm tug, it should come undone.
Just how much force are you willing to stake on that?
Every time I encounter a small tangle now, I say to myself, "Topologically you know it must be a slipknot."
Occasionally I will threaten the knot that I see coming closer in my working yarn, "Topologically, you better be a slipknot. And if you aren't, you're about to be." and I nod meaningfully at the scissors visible on the desk.

more pics of the dinosaur quilt now that its all assembled! Happy with the bright colors and the neon green flannel backing thats super cozy and thick. I'm already picking out colors and plans for the next quilting project. Third picture shows my cat making herself a blanket fort cave and attempting to burrow into it.
when i look up a knitting term, the last thing I want is an ai overview. I want a 60+ year old woman with no understanding of lighting or helpful camera angles who still manages to give the most concise and clear explanation of how to execute purl 2tog through the backloop. ai summary fuck off, where is phyllis?
I don't know what newbie lace knitter needs to hear this but I promise nobody else will notice that mistake you made 10 rows back. "Oh but I will" Not once it's finished and it's been a few weeks I promise. Speaking from experience here. You do NOT have to rip out your progress I promiseeee.
I have to say, it must be said, I really love wool

Very comforted with old crafts - spinning and weaving, but doubtless applicable to more - that there are no new mistakes I can make. People have done these crafts for millenia and will continue to do them for millenia. I manage to make a special and unique one-time-only mistake? Not likely!
Every project is my own and brings something new into the world, but every fuckup is part of a rich tradition of fuckups by all the crafters who have gone before
I wanted to post about this because I know many of my mutuals are avid crafters and I don't know how much attention this endeavour is getting outside of end-of-life spaces-
The Loose Ends Project matches crafters with a project that is unfinished because of death or disability. They offer help with a spectrum of textile mediums in over 80 countries. One project I find particularly lovely: “My mom was making this octopus for me. She was 67 years old when she passed away from COPD. She was hospitalized for pulmonary rehab several times and would always take it to work on while she was there and loved to talk about it with people."
(the red heart marks the last stitch made by this person's mom) Anyway, if something like this is something you'd like to be involved in, they are always looking for more crafters <3
My favourite recent finishing project that they posted about wasn't precisely something that the crafter left unfinished. The knitter in question had had dementia, and thought she was knitting scarves. So a finisher was found to piece all the little bits of knitting together into a blanket.
