OHHH I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THE ORANGE KITTEH SMOOCHIES

Oh, yes, that's entirely fair!!
(also may I see the orange babycat please)

Cedar chips work well for keeping them outta clothes and the like!! I think people make balls you can put in your dresser. And sometimes hangers.

Regardless of what happens, I'm glad he's been with you.

Donate to Urgent Rescue Fund for Six Kittens, organized by Matta Sorcier Hi everyone, This past weekend, a neighbor and I managed to trap a litter of … Matta Sorcier needs your support for Urgent Rescue Fund for Six Kittens

This is not a Kickstarter, but a very good cause! My pal @mattasorcier.bsky.social rescued 6 kittens and needs our help to get them to a better life!

A brightly and multicolored triangle crocheted out of boucle yarn against a starry desktop pad.

I bought this yarn because the colorway was called "Tokyo Tower", and did not think about how crocheting with boucle yarn might go. Ah well. It looks cool for a start, at least.

He's been so lucky to have you! Thank you for being his human!

My Lojan Flex arrived today. ...I have to exercise some restraint and finish my current project before getting it set up, but when I do... Hahahahahaaaaa

A blue-green pillow is the focus here.

I have now made a pillow with my own handwoven cloth.

Sewing this was a learning experience I do not wish to repeat.

A weaving draft for Rigid Heddle Looms, with one pick up stick and 2 heddles, in black and white, designed to operate in multiples of 6 warp threads. Designed using Not So Rigid Weaver.

A threading Diagram for Rigid Heddle looms, showing the plan for the draft in the previous picture. This features two heddles.

I need to actually swatch this, but I believe I've figured out "A Bumberet" with 2 heddles and a pick up stick on a RHL.
The draft in question is derived from Hargrove's "The Weavers Draft Book and Clothiers Assistant", published in 1792.

I have learned how to read 4-shaft drafts and translate them to rigid heddle patterns.

I shall soon become unstoppable.

Waist up artwork of a character holding a book out in one hand while some papers fly around in front of a bookcase in the background. A curvy smear of ink lines the bottom of the character.

I want to get on VGen! #VGenCode

Now that I have time to sit down and BREATHE, I figured I'd make this post. XD

I did end up taking it off the loom.
My patience for the project dissipated when I fell down the stairs while carrying the loom and broke my toe.

A black tuxedo cat peeks up through yarn attached to a loom's warping peg.

Warping the loom is always an adventure with my cat.

If you're printing at home, make sure to disable any scaling/resizing to fit the page. Do many tests.

Laser printers can't really go to the edge of the paper, but you can get them to at least crop the edges of the pages...

I think my current weaving project is cursed, and yet I'm torn about finishing it. I probably should, to avoid wastage.

AH!!! You too!! Weaving is very fun! It's nice to see you're into it too! :D What kind of loom are you using?

If my workplace would just let us have a day off for snow instead of making it a remote work day, that'd be greaaaaaaaat...

Thanks! 😁
One of my husband's friends described it as being minty looking, hahaha

Weaving draft with a pick up stick.

This is the draft I made and used for this pattern. It wasn't as apparent until I'd taken it off the loom and washed the project, but it looks very nice.
Yarn is Gist's Sero in Aloe and Glacier.

Recently off the loom. The cats are not very interested in it anymore lol.

Gotta finish twisting the fringe tonight or tomorrow...

Basically!

A black and white tuxedo cat sits behind a rigid heddle loom, his ears set back in his best imitation of an airplane. The warp on the loom is black, the weft is rainbow colored and wavy.

Ah, surprise snoopervision.

lol
I mean I've been taking magnesium which helps!
but past that... It'll be fineeeeeee.

Hello, weather? What the fuck is up with the barometric pressure on Saturday? That high?
Is that even real?

I'm afraid for the potential migraine...

Sewing in ends before I go further with this shawl... Better than suffering later lol

They knew how to drive in the first place?

Congratulations! :3c
