my very improvised blocking set up :)

tea towels over newspaper over thick cardboard

a package I've been excitedly waiting for has arrived and I couldn't be happier

600g of raw undyed wool and 100g of yellow wool all from Germany :)

it's rough and coarse, but robust

for some reason I love the colour of undyed wool, it's typically meant for hand dyeing, but I like the colour and it's cheaper so win win for me

yarn is from Mährle, I like that you can see information about the specific heard the wool is from, the wool I chose is from a heard on an island in the nord sea

this type of sheep carries a lot of different seeds in their wool coat, which helps preserve the biodiversity of the island

they do not deliver internationally, since it's part of their brand identity to be regional, but it's definitely a brand I recommend looking into if you're from Germany or any neighboring counties :)

Grandmas were so right about puzzles and knitting and crocheting and solitaire and reading slow and slippers and baking and watching deer in the backyard send post

what? oh sweetheart no, you're not weirding me out at all. you're weirding me in. keep talking, freak

[pancakes-knits]

survived my first tubular bind off!! it took me about 2 hours for roughly 70cm of ribbing, but it was my first time and I noticed myself that I got faster the more I progressed

it probably didn't help that I used a bobby pin instead of a needle because I wasn't home and didn't have anything better lol :)

I was very reluctant to try it because I've heard so many bad things about it, but I quite like it, it's fun once I got the hang of it!! will definitely do it again

the bind off in question, I feel like it looks pretty neat :D

What really ticks me off when talking about ai is when people are like "it's unavoidable" or "you'll have to learn to use it someday" or "its going to be part of the future" like no it's plenty avoidable actually if you have a spine stronger than a dandelion. You simply say "no" and continue to use your own goddamn brain.

if tumblr doesn't tag this as mature I will be insulted

100% Tussah Silk, 2 ply, 1450 yards/1325 meters

I have been working on consistency in my drafting especially with fine yarns and fucking hell I'm getting where I want to be! also I now need all the silk for more spinning, gimme gimme

this yarn is so soft and has so much sheen. it drapes like a lazy cat. can yarn be sexy? you look at my handspun silk yarn and try to lie to me that it's not.

going into work on your period should earn you time and a half

several people have reblogged this with some version of

#unironically

and let me tell you from the bottom of my heart, this was never ironic

[violetsandshrikes]

okay so if you need more veggies/fruit, protein or fibre (bc most people do NOT eat enough) in your diet but you struggle to do so, hear me out:

look up recipes (especially snack recipes) that are child/toddler/baby-friendly

i can guarantee there is a woman with a cooking blog out there who has found away to pack a bunch of vegetables into a surprisingly delicious little snack for her kids. this process has never failed me when i feel like i am not eating enough fruits and veggies. my entire flat is eating spinach muffins at the moment, which doesn’t sounding particularly appealing to most people and yet somehow. they’re delicious.
