The Dork of York (aka Leigh)

A side by side of a primarily cream colored yarn with blue, ochre, shades of green, and tinges of mulberry worked up into the start of a scarf. The left picture is from last week, the right picture is the progress made until today.

Making progress! The left was last week and the right is where it's at today. Mildly obsessed with how the colors are looking together 🧶

YouTube video by Tasting History with Max Miller Did This Meal Kill Mozart?

Happy 270th birthday to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Now let’s take a look at the meal that possibly killed him. youtu.be/R9Kw_3c88bQ?...

The prodigious huntress, Miho, reclines triumphantly on the remains of her prey--an injured bison who had the misfortune of encountering Miho prior her conversion to veganism.

She can still hear the lamentations of his women, in her darkest dreams.

When he attacks his adversaries for wrongdoing, know he is guilty of doing what he is accusing others of doing.

And no, he will never accept blame or admit mistakes.

Accusations are confessions.

Photo of a lichen with a green body/thallus that’s growing flat on soil. The edges of the thallus are white. Growing up from the thallus are several mottled brown podetia that look sort of like golf tees with tiny round wafers in the top

Rosette Pyxie Cup Lichen, Cladonia Pyxidata. NWT, Canada. The lichen is approximately 1cm high.

Photo of a very large great Pyrenees puppy and a very tiny full grown spotted cat around my floor loom. The puppy is peering into the loom, considering doing crimes. The cat has made a nest of the cardboard I use for warp separation and is contemplating crimes well done

My loom warping assistants need some more training. #weaving #fiberarts

Warping is annoying but I like weaving

Thanks!

Thanks! It's a fun and funky fade!

It's a 12 dent reed! Came with the loom and it's working pretty nice!

I've heard good things about Brother machines! I've got an old Singer from 1949, myself, and I love it to pieces.
I definitely sympathize with the vocabulary challenges! Each new craft has its own!

My friend quilts! And I used to hand knit until I borked my elbow with massive tendinitis. I've been considering machine knitting-- how is it treating you?
"Rose path twill" is the name of the pattern of the weave, and i can also assure you it makes good towel!! Love a nice towel

Thanks! I love rose path twill SO MUCH!!

I have made it to the red part of my handspun yarn and it's weaving up SO NICE.
