Here's my current #lace #fiberarts project.
Going to attempt making "spiders" into a fanned edge.
I wrote down the pattern for the small shawl I came up with for my handspun yarn. If you want to make one too, here it is: https://julesfliegt.wordpress.com/2018/04/24/didilya-small-shawl-knitting-pattern/
I usually don't write patterns down like that (just cryptic scribbles in a notebook for myself), so please feel free to ask, if there are any questions.
And let me know if you make one, I would love to see it

Hey finished the exploration station

Here is my latest #lace practice: a Torchon edging with a fan motif!
Being practice, I used different color threads; this helped me keep track of what I was doing.
Arg! Paul McCartney's "Jet" has been stuck in my brain for two days now!
Make it stooooooop!!!!
Oklahoma Teamsters are refusing to cross teachers' picket lines to work on renovations on the Capitol #LaborPower #Strike #OKTeachers
Is there a name for the law that says any online community is bound to disappoint you, usually because of gutless decision to avoid "offending" some snowflake or another? If there isn't, there ought to be.
For the last week or so, I couldn't get onto Mastodon (it kept timing out), but today, no problem. Missed you!
I've blocked my shawl!!

Really good article on picking up and #knitting stitches along an edge, by Kate Atherley. Worth reading even for experienced knitters. #fiberarts

the silver lining of the last couple days is that i've started #knitting again and am finally gonna finish these dumb mittens
i made one over a year ago and am just now knitting the second one. this is why i avoid doing things that require a pair #fiberarts
And Josie and the Pussycats, of course.
Pondering while prepping dinner: Blades in the Dark hack to run Jem and the Holograms with.
Finished my test knit.
I've posted this month's #knitting and #needlework stitch patterns on my blog, funded by my #Patreon supporters. (I'm $6 away from doing this twice a month!)
The word I encoded this month is "blossom".

Hey artists with other jobs to make rent... sometimes we compare ourselves to and our work to folks who do it full time or who can put in more hours... and sometimes we can be unkind to ourselves about it. Maybe it’s the extra time it takes us, the slower speed at which we improve, or the finished result. Maybe it’s the breaks we need or lack of energy.
Your #art matters. Your #painting or #fiberarts or #embroidery or #crossstitch or # quilting or #sketch? You make the world beautiful. Thanks.
