Found this beautiful lamb's wool Lyle & Scott sweater vest at a flea market last weekend! Been wanting a sweater vest for a while and finding one in the colours of the trans pride flag was just perfect.

It had a few holes so I decided to try out Swiss darning, and I think it came out pretty well! I couldn't find any info online about Swiss darning on ribbing, though, so I'm not sure if that's even possible (please let me know if you know!), so the holes in the ribbing are fine with regular darning.

forgot to share this aaaa, my top scar vest (V1 ? maybe). this was one of those project ideas that inspired me to learn to knit. i wanted a way to have my tits out without having my tits out ig. i’m so proud of my scars and they are such a good visual metaphor for my journey and identity.

this was done in duplicate stitch on some cheap dk acrylic, but i’d really like to make one in a fingering yarn (and maybe intarsia) instead, and add stuff to the back panel.

the start of many trans art projects❤️🏳️‍⚧️

FIBER ARTISTS, I want to know what yall do the most so let’s do a demographic poll

I know we are all victims of the fiber art rabbit hole and nearly all of us dabble in more than one craft, so please vote for your MAIN one, the one you do the most, the one you can do with your eyes closed, and maybe share in the tag what else you do! I hope I covered most of the crafts.

REBLOG for sample size!

just pulled this shawl off the blocking mat!

super in love with it, the only thing i would change is that it’s a little smaller than i hoped. i think i should have used one needle size larger. for some reason i have trouble trusting that looser gauges will look right even though i love them when blocked and finished lmao

also this thing had like. a billion ends to weave in because each of those little points created 2 ends so it was a bit of a slog however i think the end result is worth it!

Finally had the time to take good pictures of my dragon sweater!

Grid pattern is from the tap-dancing lizard book and the sweater pattern is the Earth Pullover by Ozetta!

Obviously the key reason to get into weaving is the near limitless pride flag potential.

This is 8 metres of trans warp threaded for 5 different twills. Winding the warp went SO MUCH BETTER than my first project a couple weeks ago and I am especially proud of how smoothly my warp chains unravelled.

With the trans yarns I also ordered sample cards for a couple different yarn companies so that I can compose some rainbow flag variants.

Hype hype hypeeeee

Euphorbia pulcherrim is known as poinsettia to those of European origin but cuētlaxōchitl in the Americas. This older name has roots in the Aztec language Nahuatl, meaning "flower that withers, mortal flower". Originally a sacred plant used in ceremonies to celebrate the birth of Huitzilopochtli during the winter solstice, they were also used for medicinal and healing purposes, and dyeing fabrics.

It is an iconic symbol of the holiday season native to Mexico, where it is called "Flores de Noche Buena". According to legend, a young girl named Pepita was too poor to offer a gift for Christmas Eve at her church. In the spirit of giving, she gathered weeds and placed them at the altar. Miraculously, they transformed into beautiful plants, symbolising her purity and the thoughtfulness of the humblest gifts.

The plant's most distinctive feature is its colourful bracts, often mistaken for petals. These modified leaves surround small, inconspicuous flowers. Although traditionally red, more recently white and pink varieties have gained popularity. They have become a symbol of joy and festivity worldwide and contribute importantly to the horticulture industry as a best-selling potted plant.

Around 5 months of on-and-off cross stitching work, of course I am overambitious in all my endeavors and decided to go for a big-ass pattern for my second ever piece. And also fill in all the white spaces with stitching, to make the texture more consistent.

Pattern is actually one for filet crocheting, from the antique pattern library

Magpie is one of my perennially popular colourways, and this version is on that velvety merino/Pima cotton blend that creates such stunning visual effects. The “secret” is that the cotton does not take up acid dyes and so remains white, while the surrounding merino gets more intensely coloured by the extra dye. This blend creates a stunning visual and tactile feast for your senses!
