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.

I got the spinning wheeeel

Its a double drive which I find is a marvel of human engineering. It has so much character, it's been used and it is missing a few hooks, but it's got signs of being well loved and cared for. The fellow needs a name though. Something that has something with breaking and being repaired or death and rebirth.
