Throughout all of history, mankind has never created a more precise measuring tool than the infallible "eyeballin' it."

Blue warp (blorp)!

There will be more aesthetic warp chain photos and a proper start to the project in some other post probably, I am just too excited by enjoying the colours.

TWO socks!

I had finished knitting sock 2 over a week ago and then today I finally kitchener stitched the last 12 stitches across the toe. Huzzah

Finished a whole entire sock for the first time in my life

I know they say to immediately cast on the second sock but I'm not gonna do that

Well my loves, it appears as though the answer to "Can the Big Pattern Company (Simplicity/Burda/McCalls/ect.) survive the death of JoAnn?" has come.

The answer is no. No it cannot. It has been sold to a liquidator just like JoAnns was.

So if there is ANYTHING you want I suggest you get it now. simplicity.com is currently having a pattern sale and I snatched up some that might be useful for cosplay purposes.

I am very glad these last couple of years I have built up my collection.

if you're looking to tablet-weave or kumihimo-braid some pride stuff, here are the options I came up with for bracelets for my husband and me. if you're on twistedthreads the name of the pattern is "ally mcbeal". go nuts

It's coming along. Wish me luck I'm about to use holographic filament for the first time.

i think the reason we’re all in a constant state of feeling like we need to look at our phones just to “do something with our hands” is because of the mechanization of textile production i’m so serious

a set of pride band weaving drafts from twisted threads user MariV.

for any beginners ready to weave something up, I recommend something marked "all together" (which means all the tablets turn the same way, either forwards or backwards all at once), and "twist neutral" (which means the forward and backward turns balance out, and twist doesn't buildup in your yet-to-be-woven warp threads).

lots and lots of patterns fall under both these categories, so it's hard to get bored with the designs themselves and the opportunity to flex your color theories...and it's pretty straightforward to figure out when something has gone wrong and how to fix it. 😁

these are all twist neutral/all together bands.

fell in love with this very beautiful quilt of native species at the doctors office

Spent basically all day knitting a very silly, violently yellow, fringed... thing.

Gonna hang it across my window to celebrate summer and sunshine 🌞

There's still an enormous amount of the yellow acrylic, so maybe I'll make more cabled fringe and trim my long vest with it? Love the swoosh. Tbh there's probably enough yellow yarn to make an entire flapper fringe dress
