Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy

Damn, that's useful

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

OH HELL THE FUCK YES

the thing about fiber art that nobody tells you about is that every single kind of fiber art is a gateway drug to other kinds of fiber art.

fiber arts is really a laundering scheme for mathematics.

i think the luckiest moment of my life - at least, the luckiest moment i'm aware of & can remember - was when i poured HOURS of wrist-grinding labor into nålbinding baby socks with no pattern & vague measurements pirated off a machine-made baby sock, and they turned out weirdly long and skinny. and then the baby was born with such weirdly long and skinny feet that the only socks that fit him were the ones i made. what a very specific little lottery to win.

Beaded Rainbow Odenwald Shawl!

Lost my mind a little and added (if my math is correct) 5,615 beads to Nim Teasdale's Odenwald pattern. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing!

The goal was “soothingly weighted but not uncomfortable to wear, even as someone with chronic pain.” It could have been a little heavier, so maybe I’ll make a shawl with larger beads another time, but I’m very pleased with this one. I used size 6/0 seed beads, applied as I go with a .6mm crochet hook.

Yarn-wise, used 2 cakes of YarnArt Flowers. I knitted the fully purple sections from both, then knitted all the way through the yellow-oranges with a single ball. When I hit the beginning of red-oranges, I used yarn from both cakes, alternating between them. (Not the entirety of both, I played it by ear to make sure I made it through the full rainbow.)

I do have edited charts with bead placements. I will only share them with Nim's permission.

I've done A LOT of knitting/crochet this year while chronic illness kept me from my sewing machine, but I'm feeling much better now. There will be new quilts to look forward to soon, plus a few more yarn crafts to share in the meantime!

Did you know that Ryan Gosling's fox (wolf) cardigan from the new film Project Hail Mary is a Mary Maxim remake? How very on-brand for a man whose face launched an entire "Hey Girl" meme universe around yarn and knitting.

Growing up in Canada, these iconic sweaters were everywhere - my grandmother knit them, my friends' grandmothers knit them. The pattern goes back to the 1950s, inspired by the traditional, authentic Cowichan sweaters hand-knit by Coast Salish communities on Vancouver Island.

Gosling apparently asked for a fox design specifically; the one he wears here is based on MM's wolf design. He calls it a fox, they call it a wolf.

The Hollywood Reporter published a story earlier this week that's worth checking out: 👉 https://tinyurl.com/5n8w89w4 and if you want a Canadian perspective from the source, catch this interview with Mary Maxim president, Mitch McPhedrain, here: 👉 https://youtu.be/D8cGQFBLQqM

duel (pattern set) ... think the one in the middle is the widest tapestry i have ever made but definitely not the biggest. horizontal is so much harder than vertical though

do NOT get into fibre arts!!!! you try one and then all of a sudden you have 10 hobbies and wanna try 10 more

yessss… yes

It's true. I knit (on standard knitting needles, circular needles, and double pointed needles; on flat bed and circular knitting machines), crochet (both "standard" and Tunisian crochet), spin (on drop spindle and spinning wheel), and weave (mostly rigid heddle loom and some tapestry, but am attempting to resist floor looms, backstrap weaving, and tablet weaving). I cross stitch, embroider, and do needlepoint. I kind of sew (partially because I want to be able to make something I have spun, plyed, and woven into a garment).

I just picked up a book on, and a needle for, naalbinding, and am trying to restrain myself from reading up on quilting and sashiko.
