My daughter just asked if I could make it for her, so you’ve got a fan.

The way you’ve set it to photograph made me think it was a little basket…. So make a basket. It’s pretty.

A photo from the back of my loom showing my warp of black and white cotton threads in various patterns with light orange pattern breaks. It’s would onto the back beam and about 4/5 threaded through the heddles.

Almost on the loom. After a lovely #crafternoon with a house full of friends and kids I’m too tired to function and too overstimulated to do much so it gets finished tomorrow. For now #mrbalen and #knitting.

Yup. It works really well. If I have it horizontal for longer warps I just grab a couple of clamps from the garage to help secure it. Vertically it secures well without them.

Yes. Yes it does. I’ll probably finish a few more simple projects first anyway but that is actually super helpful

A mostly black and white braid of cotton yarns with small stripes of pale orange sitting on a cushion for me to photograph. Nothing exciting happening here.

And we have a braid. Tomorrow it goes on the loom

#weaving #warp

You can see my warping board (a big wooden rectangle with dowels poking out that you thread your yarn around. Used to measure out the warp and keep a nice even tension) with black and white cotton yarn measured onto it. It’s balanced on a painting easel to keep it at a nice height for me to work on. In the background you can see the tv that my partner is playing mechwarrior on.

Back at the warping board. This one is a slight variation on the #JSTSchoolofWeaving colour and weave gamp. Something light to get me back behind the loom.

8/2 cotton in black, white and light orange.

I’m still having to look up things like how to knit in the back loop. I think I’ll stop worrying about it a few projects in. I certainly have enough cabled patterns saved.

I am still scared of cables. Let alone cables on socks.

My beloved partner (male presenting) standing in our bedroom in jeans and the hand knit Gandy sweater I just finished. He’s not impressed I’m taking a photo but I am posting with permission.

They’re not big on photos but it is DONE. The Gandy sweater by Mode at Rowan for my beloved. They love it and the yarn (Darnie by Studio Donegal) has come up delightfully soft with the grease washed out. So happy - this is my first ever complete knit project.

Unfortunately the tank looked awful on. The shape just didn’t sit right so that’s been frogged while I decide on a better project for it. That cotton sliver looks just divine

That’s incredibly lovely. It’s a shade darker than yours and lightly heathered. It’s almost done. Just needs it final wash to get the grease out

The shawlette is so eye catching. Delicious colour choices there

I bought this direct from the seller at a local yarn show. Hoping they’re making for many more years to come.

Photo of a cake of yarn on a spinner set on a table. It’s a beautifully soft silk merino blend and looks almost oil bit like an oil slick - silvery grey dominates but with lovely shades of purple and blue in the spin.

Happy anniversary #showmeyourknits!!

Apparently the prompt today is knitters choice so here’s the stunning yarn I’ve just cast on my next project with. It is Silk Stocking in the Evermore colourway by Dyed by Hand Yarns. It’s so soft and looks almost oil slick like.

Meme with sepia words on a black background. There is a spinning wheel in the lower left corner and scissors and a tape measure in the lower right corner. It reads “Working with textiles is a trap. First they lure you with knitting, then you pick up crochet. Next you start getting curious with fiber and you learn how to spin. Weaving is cool right? You now own a loom… heck, while you’re at you may as well start making your own clothes. Spinning is no longer enough for you, you need something more, you learn how to die. Dyeing is fun, but would be good to have a source of fiber. You are now a shepherd!” Source unknown

Muhahahahaha join us!

Me, carefully weaving in the ends of yarn that are hanging loose from the jumper I’m almost done with.

Ughhhhhh this part takes forever.

#weavingintheends #knitting

I thought it was cute and the.Ln the last photo… it’s MAGIC!!!

Spinning goals - something this gorgeous

Eeee! They’re an amazing!

A pile of fibre and weaving and knitting tools on my bed. It’s a cluttered mess, better photos with better descriptions when I do the blog post - sorry.

#BendigoWoolAndSheepShow stole all my money.
I have spinning to do. Lots of it.

There will be a blog post with better pics and links to the stores I bought from.

Fibonacci. Oh my stars 😍

I don’t mind the wholemeal ones oddly enough. But also butter and golden syrup bros!

Those colours are incredible!

The red Gandy sweater is ready for me to start sewing the sleeves on as soon as the current room swaps are finished. And the cream Fairy Chasm tank was meant to be a May completed KAL that I’m now picking up when I need something easy to work on while my brain goes on vacay.

The collar section of the Gandy jumper. I had no idea how one would knit a v-neck but it’s come out rather tidy and looking good. Maybe should have gone down a needle size

The v neck front and straight back pieces of the Gandy sweater on my vibrant blue blocking surface before I sewed the shoulder seams together and added the actual collar section.

My Fairy Chasm top screwed up into the top of my knitting bowl. It’s a lovely neutral off white/cream colour in cotton 8ply

#showmeyourknits asked about WIPS and I have 3 projects going right now. Not pictured is the very slowly being knit green socks (the small needles and my hands aren’t getting along over winter)…

Those colours are just lovely

This is really helpful, thanks. I'm planning my summer knits when I'm too meh to do anything else
