VereeshMy cat fur blanket is coming along nicely. I just spun up another huge cake of yarn, but the end is in sight. This has been a great "resting" project, just semi-mindless <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/handmade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/handcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handcraft</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspinning</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/cat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cat</a> This is my own variation of the 10 stitch blanket by Frankie Brown,a free pattern on Ravelry.

consumableJoyI stopped by the Woodland Handcrafts site just out of curiousity. I’ve only placed preorders and never successfully ordered something from stock but I hit the jackpot and soon will be the owner of this gorgeous morel mushroom support spindle.

MarieLouiseFinished <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> this Flax sweater. Started <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a> the yarn for it in August last year. One single was a multicoloured bamboo/merino, the other one a solid blue Shetland, twined together into a lovely soft fingering yarn. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspinning</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handknit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handknit</a>

consumableJoyAfter writing this post, I almost plopped a inexpensive Turkish spindle in my bag in case this really does happen and I want to leave the spindle and some fiber with someone, but then I thought, no, not quite yet. Plus I am going to Seattle and there are many places to pick up this stuff there if someone wants it. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/fiberarts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiberarts</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HandSpinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandSpinning</a>

consumableJoyI’ve become that person who travels with enough supplies that if you ran into me and said, “you know what I’ve been dying to learn? How to spin with a spindle!” I’d plop open by bag and be like, “okay, let’s do it!” <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspinning</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/FiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiberArts</a>

Laura PerryFirst bobbin full of the Gulf Coast Native fleece is finally spun up. I dyed it with a combo of coffee and butternut hulls. I still have a lot left to spin - I bought an entire fleece. It will eventually take the form of cozy sweaters.<a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/HandSpinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandSpinning</a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/FiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiberArts</a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/wool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wool</a>

Goddyke (he/him)A little later than planned, but here it is! This is our first major handspinning project and also what our plying tester the other day was for! If my maths is right, there should be somewhere around 77 metres of yarn here! Not a Whole lot to work with, especially at this weight, but whole lot of progress towards a useable handspun yarn! <a href="https://mastoart.social/tags/handmade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a> <a href="https://mastoart.social/tags/handspunyarn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspunyarn</a> <a href="https://mastoart.social/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspinning</a> <a href="https://mastoart.social/tags/dropspindlespinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dropspindlespinning</a>

consumableJoyI was reading a post about the yarn in Ellie’s hat in The Last of Us (Someone said they verified Sweet Georgia, speculation was Malabrigo Rios). It made me think about clothing production in the post-apocalyptic age. Learning to shear, clean, pick, spin, and knit/weave/crochet is only smart preparation for the apocalypse, right? <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/fiberarts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiberarts</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HandSpinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandSpinning</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/weaving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weaving</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/yarn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yarn</a>

ElizeneryFor this week's <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WIPWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WIPWednesday</a> : * Some progress on the very soft cardigan. About 32.000 stitches done. I expect to spend another 2 weeks in 'stockinette hell'. * In between helical sock done. Next one is for an upcoming trip as a portable project. * Dyeing experiment with Gotland locks and a mini-sample of yarn. Love the color, but the locks got slightly felted although I've been very careful. So I think the better option is to first spin yarn and dye that. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/socks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socks</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HandSpinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandSpinning</a>

consumableJoyFossil Fibers launched a Studio Ghibli themed fiber collection for April / May (planned before the recent AI-driven Ghibli noise). I love some of them - Howl, Haku, Ponyo. But the one that got be to buy was the soot sprite kit, because I can think of all kinds of fun ways to combine these. And because they really hit the spot on Soot Sprite for me. <a href="https://www.fossilfibers.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.fossilfibers.com/</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspinning</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/fiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiberArts</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/fiber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiber</a>

Jakke PimiöTässä oli niin monta ekaa kertaa, joista ehkä merkittävin se, että testasin ketjukertaamista ekaa kertaa. Ja hauskin se, että testasin Ashfordin Kiwi3 -rukkia, johon tykästyin kovasti. Tämä on sitä samaa villaa, josta jaoin värjäyskuvan joskus aiemmin. <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/kehräys?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kehräys</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/käsityö?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#käsityö</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/villa?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#villa</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/merino?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#merino</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/värjäys?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#värjäys</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/handspun?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspun</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/handspinning?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspinning</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/handmade?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/merinowool?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#merinowool</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/dyeing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dyeing</a>

consumableJoyLooking at the next Fiber Fusion - June 7-8 outside Seattle - I realized it was at last year’s event I got bitten by the spinning bug. So since June 1 2024, I have acquired an EEW 6.1 (i got it one week later to see if I’d like spinning), a Schacht Ladybug, Turkish spindles and then supported spindles, and, hopefully before June 1 2025, a Daedalus Starling. I guess I’m a spinner now. I just need to create more time to actually spin. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspinning</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/fiberarts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiberarts</a> <a href="https://www.fiberfusion.net/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.fiberfusion.net/</a>

ElizeneryAfter about 20.000 stitches my first 85 gram cake of yarn is running out. So wound the larger one of 195 grams. I am confident now that I will have enough yarn/fiber to knit the cardigan. Also wound commercial sock yarn that I bought second hand for helix socks as a portable project. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HandSpinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandSpinning</a>

ElizeneryAlmost at the separation of the sleeves and one more bobbin of singles done. 126 grams to go for this huge spin. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HandSpinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandSpinning</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WIPWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WIPWednesday</a>

consumableJoyGoal of 5 minutes a day of fiber arts seems so much more approachable when all I have to do is sit down at my wheel, grab the roving that’s already there, and start spinning. Even if I only do it for 5 minutes, it’s better than nothing, and it feels productive and calming. It’s not that picking up a small knitting project or my supported spindle is difficult - it’s just that the barrier to sitting at my wheel is so low, I barely even have to think about making time. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HandSpinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandSpinning</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/FiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiberArts</a>

Jakke PimiöTein illalla tämmöistä merinomakkarapataa. Aamulla se oli jo kuivaa ja pääsin levittämään villalevyä auki. Ja nyt se sitten nätisti muuttuu säikeeksi. Harmillisesti töissä käynti taas häiritsee tärkeämpiä asioita, mutta ehkäpä yöllä ehtii hyvin. <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/villa?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#villa</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/wool?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wool</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/värjäys?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#värjäys</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/dyeing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dyeing</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/happovärjäys?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#happovärjäys</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/kehräys?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kehräys</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/handspinning?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspinning</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/merino?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#merino</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/handmade?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/käsityö?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#käsityö</a>

consumableJoySpinning my “Flannel Weather” rolags from Hikari Handmade, looking significantly different than I expected, but still lovely. I have many many rolags (480g worth) so this project is going to take quite some time (especially trading off with all my other projects…) but I’m super excited. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Handspun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Handspun</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspinning</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/fiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiberArts</a>

consumableJoyMy order for a Daedalus Starling has officially been placed - cranberry with dark grey accent colors. Should arrive after Maryland Sheep and Wool. It will bring my official “wheel” count to 3 - Lizzy, my EEW 5.1; Jane, my Schacht Ladybug; and then my as-yet-unnamed Daedalus Starling. She will not be named after a Jane Austen character, so I don’t know yet. I assume Lizzy will travel with me and Starling will live in one place. I think.
