Unintentionally took the 16th and 17th off, but it was because my partner was visiting and I was too busy enjoying feeling like a whole person again with the love of my life at my side. They're on their way home now, so that means getting back to plying my first ever yarn (started on the 12th) while eating food that will 100% trigger another gallbladder attack.

Not entirely sure where to go from here, but I think it involves beating things? Gotta remind myself of the process again....

Working on a sky themed art piece. Not exactly sure what ill be doing, but it is an experiment. Practice for something bigger i have dreamed about making forever.

Back to basics

Playing around a bit just to confirm that I sadly hate working with perle cotton, and don't really like my midland bobbins. I think I might like the midlands better on a round top pillow. I find them really hard to handle being so thin and light. I think if they were hanging off it would be a bit easier like with the Honiton bobbins

And here it is with the brim finished.

It surprisingly took a lot less yarn than the original did.

I mean look at how much I have left over. I should have taken a before to compare but oh well. I'll probably make another one for him in a different style.

I just happen to find a different one while on YouTube

Okay I don't know how many times I have redone my nephew's bucket, but his head is growing and so I must do my duty and adjust.

Here's the old one I'm going to look up a different way to do the brim.

I'm using a 4.5mm instead of a 3mm. All of my first projects were done with 3.5mm because I didn't own anything bigger.

Being unemployed sucks even more so that I can't give anything adequate so I resort to hand crafts as to somehow make up for it.

My spinning wheel treadles to the beat of Billy Idol's Rebel Yell. Neat.
