I have some @sundarayarn silk lace that is beautiful but which I don't care to knit with (silk being so inelastic). So I wove up a scarf! I had planned to do honeycomb but two pickup sticks and silk was way too slippery. And a white stripe later on because, who knows. There are a lot of oopsies here but one thing about silk is it always looks good. I wove this on my 12-dent heddle which probably was not fine enough for this yarn. I may have to double up or use two heddles, or maybe a 15-dent for my other two skeins. #learningtoweave #weaversofinstagram #rigidheddleloom #rigidheddleweaving #sundarayarn #wovenscarf

Put together this @grainlinestudio #larktee in just a few hours! Just a plain black shirt but the telio fabric from @mercersfabric is so much nicer than my other plain black tees. My shoulders are a little wonky but you know, black camouflages everything. 📷: my somewhat unwilling son. #learningtosew #sewistsofinstagram #mercersfabric #grainlinestudio #grainlinestudiolarktee #sewingknits #memadewardrobe

Chocolate chip cookies but not "just" chocolate chip cookies-- @violetcakeslondon Egg Yolk chocolate chip cookies from the Violet Bakery Cookbook. The egg yolks give them a wonderful sablé texture. #chocolatechipcookies #chocolate #cookies #violetbakerycookbook #violetbakery #claireptak #eggyolk #eggyolkchocolatechipcookies

My April socks! This time I used a toe-up sock pattern by @sockmatician (and thank goodness for his cast-on video). Yarn is from @yarnfromtheshire : hand-dyed in Iceland! 🇮🇸 🇮🇸 🇮🇸 #boxofsockskal2017 #yarngasmpodcast #sockknitting #yarnfromtheshire #sockmatician #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #toeupsocks #indieyarn

Thanks to some new confidence from my class at @gather_here I have started my @oliverands art museum trousers: and I managed to successfully make 4 welt pockets! I'm making two pairs at a time, for each son. #learningtosew #artmuseumpants #oliverands #gatherhere #sewingforkids #sewingforboys #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #oliver+s #nantucketreds

My completed simply striped rug from Weaving Made Simple by @yarnworker . There are quite a few mistakes in this but then again people are going to be stepping on this so it's hardly something to stress about. #yarnworker #lizgipson #rigidheddleloom #rigidheddleweaving #ashfordloom #rugweaving #halcyonyarn #learningtoweave #weaversofinstagram @halcyonyarn

My Rheinlust shawl is done! This one was huge, and I have no idea how to photograph it so a selfie will have to do! So glad I finished it for spring! #rheinlustshawl #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #indieyarn #wonderlandyarns #melanieberg #mairlynd #shawlknitting #neverenoughshawls @mairlynd #frabjousfibers @frabjousfibers

It's only right that at least one pair of socks for my #boxofsockskal2017 use #voolenvineyarns ! Footsie base in the dirty on purpose colorway. March socks ✅ @voolenvine #indieyarn #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #sockknitting

Not only is my new sock yarn from @djfleeshhandknits beautiful in the Cheeky Leaky colorway, but she threw in tea and a cassette tape progress keeper! (Bonus I can now show my children what the historical artifact known as a cassette tape is)! #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #djfleeshhandknits #indieyarn

Pumpkin coconut curry soup from @justataste . Threw in a little red lentils rather than open more pumpkin. Too pretty not to take a pic before I stir together! #pumpkin #coconut #pumpkincoconutsoup #soup #redlentils

My February socks for the @voolenvine #boxofsockskal2017 are complete. I used @knittedwit #victorysock which is a fantastic new-to-me yarn. I kept the leg at seven inches which allowed me to have just enough yarn to complete a men's size 11! #sockknitting #knittersofinstagram #knittedwit #knitstagram #knittedwitvictorysock #smoothoperatorsocks #susanbanderson #voolenvineyarns #yarngasm

My February #yarnworker project--bouquet shawl to practice the brooks bouquet technique. My loom is narrow so this is a scarf rather than a shawl but it is still lovely and cozy! @yarnworker #brooksbouquet #bouquetshawl #weaversofinstagram #learningtoweave #rigidheddleloom #rigidheddleweaving #cricketloom #plymouthyarn
