An Oblique Streaktail (Allograpta obliqua) amigurumi! This one was pretty experimental, but I learned a bit from it!

I like hoverflies in general, but I chose this species because I've found a couple of them inside my home recently. They both emerged from pupas I accidentally took indoors from rose clippings!

Everything I feel returns to you somehow

Having a much older, much more experienced person tell you you're doing well in your shared hobby is better than crack, especially when the hobby tends to be 80% retired ppl. Like, hell yeah I'm gonna get a good grade in birdwatching and I'm not even 50. Child prodigy moment

the fact of a garden

[fibernati]

if i were an academic i would love to write a book about all the unseen human labor and lives that make it possible to produce a single quilt.

i don't use commissioned longarm services for my quilting because i can't afford it, but i also used to really struggle with the idea of having another person complete such a prominent part of my project. i thought i wouldn't be able to say 'i made this.'

but i didn't grow the cotton that got woven into the fabric i'm using.

i didn't design the printed fabric collection.

or paint the batik.

i didn't do the math and writing that went into the patterns i use.

i didn't drive any of the ships and trucks that transported the fabric.

i didn't mine the metal that turned into the needles in my machine or hand.

i wasn't the shelf stocker at the chain store or the owner of the indie shop i bought from.

quilting is an inherently collaborative art form. the creativity didn't start with me.

I don't have knitting needles lmao

the cool thing is I can always match the "needles" to the yarn :3

Some things are coming

[fibernati]

I love not using the recommended yarn, making a gauge swatch, or choosing the recommended size for the pattern based on my measurements! This surely will work out fine
