i just invented a cathedral rose window granny square pattern and i feel insane now

I made a doily.

I used a whitework technique that my grandmother taught me and that is very relaxing to make. My idea was to make something less traditional with this very specific style. Usual patters are based on flowers, sometimes fruits, butterflies and, rarely, some geometrical shapes.

I'm happy that this still looks a bit like a flower at the first glance but then turns out to be something completely different. Drawing the pattern and trying to make it straight was terrible but I'm proud of myself. It's not perfect but useable so I'll gladly share if anyone wants it.

The whole process of making up and drawing the pattern, embroidering (not daily), changing my mind about details twice, cutting out, repairing and washing the napkin several times took about 3 months and 2 weeks.

I kind of want to do a brain dump because my brain has been braining bad. For now I'll post the hand spun, Kool-aid-dyed, knitted hat I finished the other day and the Bat Mitzvah Bat I'm working on now, though.

🧶Blended Batts🐑

Dyers & blending artists are, in my opinion, touched by the Magick-folk. Wool, alpaca, yak, angora bunny, mohair goat, cashmere -- cotton, linen, hemp -- it makes no difference. The dying & blending artists out there will trap me ever time with their puffy bags of mysterious colors named things like: "Midnight Bonfire" & "Wayward Wind" & "Tumbling Teak". Turning this:

When blended, into this:

Which, after some meditation on a drop spindle twists into this:

And plys into this:

An animal that is loved and cared for - turned grass, water, and sunshine into an Artists palette that became this:

If that's not Magick. I don't know what is.

Artists of fiber and vision,

Thank you.
