Patterned pink and dark purple knit pants that are just over half way finished laid out on the floor. The left leg is about 1/4th of the way complete.

Two haybale feeders in the distance of a snow covered wooded yard. No animals are in this picture but there is a soft winding path of wasted hay on the ground in shapes that are almost like puddles between snow.

It's farm fashion Friday so I'm sharing (some of) my WiP - one of which is a pair of pants!

A table top loom on a coffee table in a wide angle image that shows the hint of being taken from a plaid couch. A dog rests on the rug behind the loom, the walls are covered in artworks and objects.

The only energy I had yesterday was couch potato energy. Moved the loom to be near the couch. Worked ok!

A top down image of a textile being woven. A shuttle sits above the finished line of cloth which moves from a highly patterned area into a more visually calm but textured fabric that is dominantly a light brown with large blocks of blue and black

A weavers view of fabric being made on the loom, there are stripes in both direction that make a variety of color combinations in blues, golds blacks and whites.

A table top loom with a short length of woven cloth completed on it. Colors are blue, black, off white and a mid tone taupe/brown. The fabric is textured (a lace structure) all over and colors meet in stripes and blocks.

A close up image of the woven cloth. Here the neutral brown and shades of blues & blacks meet at vertical stripes instead of horizontal ones. There is one mistake horizontal line of brown where it doesn't belong.

Taking a Double Huck class through the guild. It's the good stuff but I spied a mistake yesterday in my work and I will be unweaving today 😭🫠

New rule for 2025: Unpredicted time to myself must be used for non monetized activities.

It's #fiberfarmfashionfriday !

Sometimes when you love fashion and raise livestock things get a little hilarious. Thus, Farm Fashion Friday was born between Johanna @acreknot.bsky.social and I!

I'm sure others celebrate. Here's mine. #wool #vintage #knit #weave #farm #fashion

Top down view of handwoven cloth at the loom. It is wool in browns, striped yellows, and magenta with a fancy point-twill structure

On the loom. Always entertaining myself with clasp weft and the way striping stacks.

A large floor loom made of walnut threaded with bright orange bailing twine, with balls of bailing twine sorted by color in the foreground and many textiles in the background. A quilt on one wall and a grouping of circular frames holding more weavings on the adjacent wall.

Just screaming into the void: I make things!
