Just a reminder my blog is trans inclusive. It’s bi inclusive. It is pan inclusive. It is intersex inclusive. It is ace/asexual inclusive. It is aro/aromantic inclusive. It is queer inclusive.
I don’t support terfs or exclusionists.

Progress on the Shetland shawl for Eir
The project devoted to Eir is coming along well!
It's been a while since I posted! I finished the revenge shawl and started on a Shetland lace mohair shawl devoted to the Norse goddess Eir.

I was trying to remember what your ode to the needle reminded me of. I found it!
oooh neat!
One of my friends is in a serious situation so I asked ria guardian angel to help me bless this shawl with protection magic. Normally I just work the energy in as I go but this time I actually did a prayer/spell (it was a bit of both as ri and I worship different gods and I wasn't quit sure what the right action would be) on the yarn and needles and WIP.
However despite using an outside source of energy for the blessing, I have a terrible migraine after it so this is as far as I got today before I said "I am making too many stupid mistakes, I need to stop."
I'm doing shadow work while working on this project. I'm using it as something soothing to do with my hands while I process some things and work through them. I'm calling it the revenge shawl because the best revenge you can get on someone who treated you poorly is to grow and thrive (preferably without them).
The pattern is the Sapphira Lace Shawl
Decided to start this over with bigger needles but I am making another lace shawl. Hopefully this one doesn't take me 18 months 😅
I knit for 5 hours today. Placed 200 beads. Because I was so close to finished that I couldn't stop knitting. It is finished. Eventually I will take some pretty pictures in it outside but right now it's drying. It took me exactly 18 months and 7 days. A rough estimate of time it took me is about 200 hours.
This was an offering to Thor. The last couple months when I was up to it (have chronic pain so hands aren't always up to it) on Thursdays I would invite him to join me, put on his playlist, and just knit in the quiet with him. It deepened our relationship in a way I didn't realize I needed. Date days will be a thing going forward, even if all I can offer him that day is making myself rest in his honor. He does get rather cranky when I don't take care of myself.
Now I'm drinking some celebratory cranberry hard cider with him and just letting it sink in that I finished something so huge, something I've been carrying with me as I moved houses, fell in love with my girlfriend, caught covid, realized I have long covid, faught doctors and sought answers, found some of them, and lost and eventually refound my happiness. And through that all, Thor has been with me, cheering me on, comforting me, and making me feel like I've finally found a home in a faith where the gods don't have to be all knowing or infallible to be worth having in your life. Looking back, oh, how I've grown.
Did 2.5 repeats today. Placed 125 beads. 200 to go. Probably about five or six hours left. Knitted for like three today. Will probably regret that tomorrow
I made a blessed baby blanket! Most of the yarn is from Scottish wool, a link to the baby’s heritage, and I did my best to imbue it while I knitted with protection and warmth. I also asked for a blessing from the local trees and spirits.
Fellow disabled and/or chronically ill folks!
I need some help! Today, I want to ask you about hope! What gives you hope?
I'm not going to go into details but basically I was disabled, got long COVID, and everything got significantly worse. I've spent the last year making jokes about having a victorian wasting disease (fibro + arthritis, among other things) and how I deserve a victorian fainting couch if I have to put up with this bullshit. Well with my mom's help, I got the cheapest victorian fainting couch I could find. Here's where you come in.
I'm an artist, and my primary mediums are textile arts. Things like crochet, knitting, and embroidery are my go to forms of self expression. I plan to reupholster part of the couch, and when I do that, I'm going to embroider things that give the disabled community hope onto the fabric. So that when I'm in flare hell from my victorian wasting disease, I'm being held up by the hope of the disabled community. To so that, I need to know! What gives you hope?
I don't care how niche. I don't care if 100 people all say "my cat." No hope is too small. No hope is insignificant. I have spent a long time retraining my brain to feel hope and joy, and I want to spread those things! So tell me! What gives you hope?
People who don't have disabilities or chronic illness can reblog this! (The help getting more material for the project is appreciated) And I hope hearing about our hopes brings some positivity into your life.
Thank you!
This is a project I will be doing over on my main blog
My Evenstar shawl is in time out because I am trying to quit drinking coffee this week andy brain is MUSH so I forgot the same fucking yo like six times and then I dropped a stitch in a complicated spot and I repaired it but it isn't pretty so yeah. Time out until I adjust to having only tea levels of caffeine in my system.
Decided to spend some time devoted to Thor today. Bad pictures cuz I'm sick and tired.
Seed stitch shawl for my gf that I'm working on instead of the mittens I need to finish by the 16th because I'm in a pain fog and can't handle trying to follow multiple cables from the pattern I picked. I lay have to downgrade those mittens to just a plain vanilla mitten cuz I am not sure I'll have enough good days to finish them
