Finished spinning this gorgeous "seaweed" yarn (60% seacell, 40% wool) and oh my god it's soooo smooth and silky and luxurious I can't wait to make something with it because it will feel amazing against my skin !!! I'm so happy with how it turned out it's a pretty fine weight yarn and I feel like it's very consistent and not over/underspun, my skill level is finally getting somewhere I'm proud of 🎉 been working on this one for a while, but now that it's off my wheel I get to start my other tdf spins hooray ~

First time knitting in months. Finally finished the heel on a sock I forgot about sometime last year. Now it's smooth sailing until the toe and can be my travel project again :))

It’s a very rainy day out there, so I’ve got on my Rainy Day socks and a hot cup of tea to keep me company.

Worked on the elder emo scarf at the library while I waited for my friend to arrive for our craft date, I worked on it some more while we hung out.

I finished knitting my first pair of socks please clap

Made them with a mystery cashmere blend yarn I bought second-hand and some kid silk mohair I wanted to use up. They are surprisingly comfy and not itchy.

Pattern: Moonchild Top by raii

Yarn: Noro Koma in Hikobashi

I had such a fun time making this! I love the striping of the yarn and it actually blocked out so well compared to fresh off the needle

Finally took the time to set and ball my handspun! This is everything I've spun from around mid-February to now on my new favorite Schact 1oz drop spindle.

Fiber from Greenwood Fiberworks, Murky Depths, and Keira Wiggins Fiber in Polwarth, Polwarth/Silk, Merino, and Merino/Silk/Cashmere

And just like that, buttons are on and my modified loupy studio cardigan is finished!

[skeksis98]

the vision i had for this fibre is really working out, entrelac + handspun is so good

Socks!!!!

Pattern is the cathedral socks by the knitting goose on ravelry

This was so fun but god I need a break from socks

[lesbian-fig]

I realized that I’ve gifted 5 scarves now but have never made one for myself. So I decided to try cabling for the first time and make myself a scarf! Cables are actually so much simpler than I realized!

Also it seems I am drawn to this goldenrod color….

First jumper is almost complete 😮‍💨

It’s been hard work learning lots of new things as I go. Only things I’ve made prior to this are a scarf and teddy bear jumpers (which are way easier without all the shaping needed for people clothes)

And of course I’d be near to finishing this just as we’re in a heatwave so I won’t even get to wear it 😭
