Measured and Slow

How far can a needle carry you?

I dyed some yarn and then I made some little sample geese and then had to negotiate visitation after my 7 year old immediately appropriated them 😂

More unicorns! That rainbow is just…so satisfying. I’m gonna have to make more, that was the last of my scraps

[measuredandslow]

Disappeared into the CAD hole for a couple weeks and emerged with unicorns you can make a real yarn mane for. Proceeded to make approximately 700 unicorns lol

Sometimes at 10:47 pm you think to yourself that it would be funny to make a yarn bowl that looks like a casserole dish your mom and all your aunts owned in 1993 and the dangerous thing about 3D printing is that really nothing is stopping you from doing that 😂

(The blue isn’t quite right and it’s teeny because it was a tester but, proof of life lol)

I finished futzing so *jazz hands* I present: Number Window Floss Bobbins! This is maybe the most niche thing I’ve ever made but also I’m so pleased with myself lol

(Video description: a white person’s hand show a rainbow colored embroidery floss bobbin with a small window at the top. The hands slide the portion of the wrapper with the floss number on it into the window, trim it so that it’s flush, and then wind lavender colored floss onto the bobbin. There is a second bobbin at the end to show that the window can go on the other side, and it is set to “House Tour” by Sabrina Carpenter)

Prototyping something neat! I wanted to make some pretty bobbins to put in the shop but I didn’t want people to have to mark them up with a sharpie, so I made it so you can just slide in the bottom of the wrapper where the number’s at and chop off the barcode portion. It makes it slightly thicker than the average bobbin but I think it’s an okay tradeoff ☺️

Kiddo requested “my cat but wearing my glasses” (they newly wear red heart-shaped glasses) to hand out for valentines this year. Mama has delivered ☺️. All hail Valentine Fig lol

[measuredandslow]

New yarn bowls are PRETTY CUTE if I do say so myself ☺️. People kept asking for ones with lids but it turns out lids are kind of hard to design! I finally got it though and they work great for keeping curious kitty paws out of your sweater lol

I’m making a lot of whistles lately, but in between I took time to print an organ you can put hair clips in 🫀. Design from Pizza 3D’s Patreon!

My resolution for 2026 is to get better at drawing, so here is a lil fist bump for the new year 🤜🤛

Finished this guy today! He’s off to live on a boat, which is way cooler than me lol. Also look at those stripes! Almost seamless babeeeeeeee. Also also I had to take these pics in a windstorm for light reasons, it was very atmospheric 😂

[measuredandslow]

Today’s tree topper! We’re getting down to the last few of the season and this one’s a cutie ☺️

[measuredandslow]

I took a couple days off from crochet to rest my hand and weave over the holiday and now my cat is in a hilarious one-man feud with my loom because it takes up too much of my lap 😂

[measuredandslow]

Testing out some 3D printed tree toppers this year and I put his little hat on and immediately started giggling, I love him so much 😂. File for the original print is from Printyboy’s Patreon, but I have obviously made it quite a bit bigger lol.

[measuredandslow]

Took advantage of having the big tree topper versions in the house to take some family photos ☺️. I’m so pleased with how close I got the little baby ornaments, I’ve really improved my 3D modeling this year!

The making of a Gingerbread Tree-Rex!

(Video: A pair of white hands walk though several steps to make a gingerbread themed tree topper shaped like a t-rex. The body is brown with white frosting, red hot buttons, a holly bow tie, and gumdrop spikes down the back.)
