As someone who doesn’t knit or crochet much with normal-weight yarn (I do a lot of lace crochet with thread), I find it really interesting how there are two prominent and completely different views on what the best yarn type is.

There’s the people who love wool. You gotta love wool. It’s waterproof, it’s wonderful, it’s from a sheep (usually? I think? Is it called something else if it’s from other animals? Alpaca wool is a thing, right?). You can also easily spin and dye wool yourself, making it all the more wonderful and sustainable. Why have plastic yarn if you can make it from sheep hair? Sheep will always have hair to give.

And then, there’s the people who love synthetics. Why not? They make wonderful socks, and they’re decently sturdy. They can even be stretchy, too! With synthetics, you can get so many different vibrant colours, and the yarn can be uncannily uniform. Also, who has the time to hand wash everything nowadays? You can just toss it in the washing machine, if it’s synthetic. Why would you want expensive and potentially scratchy wool?

Alas, this is just what I’ve heard, for I sit in the middle with my piles of mercerized cotton thread.

(A little disclaimer on synthetics: they’re all different. This is not a care guide, please don’t destroy your socks)

I love my new son. He's just a little guy!! 🩷

ah shit lads we’re at it again

remember that sock I started a million years ago that I couldn’t make a decision about keeping it or not? yeah so he got the axe today and this is his son rising from his ashes to hopefully be followed through (because I’m fighting the stupid fear to be the best at socks lol)

A compilation of bees over the years ft my hand in my Cas cosplay and some queer ones we gave out at Crossroads 3. We wil have normal bees stocked consistently but the pride ones are typically made on request and the fluffy ones aren't too common for us to make so it'd be best to ask if you desperately wanted one that way. Sometimes we will also make different kinds of bees like ones with orange black and white markings. - Made by M, posted by S

I was really sick for a while there, but I'm slowly getting back the energy to craft again after seeing a new specialist. threw together this little shawl that I've been wearing a lot, although it could use an extra panel along the neckline.

This pattern called for 10 skeins/125 yards. Bought 12 skeins/164 yards...and still worried that I would run short. Working on 6th skein with only collar to finish. Enough left for a 2nd sweater 😂

Love this yarn, btw. It's Fantasy purchased online at Hobbii. Nice to work with, nice texture in finished fabric.
