Molten Lava on Gotland Roving - 22 oz / 624 g

I’m always surprised by how the type of wool and the preparation of said wool changes how the dyes will uptake a certain colorway.

This is the same colorway that I used on the Perendale lamb fleece. While the saturation is fairly well the same, Gotland loves taking up dye, the black brown didn’t go as dark on the Gotland roving as it did the Perendale.

It still came out lovely though. I drum carded one of the 28g/1 oz braids and as always Gotland roving delivers a delightfully slinky batt.

So, with Meta going all in on the alt right bs, I am following @thefakebernadettebanner here. Maybe some crafters can reblog this so we can find one another?

Finished this cozy granny poncho!! I've had this green yarn for EVER and it's already been frogged at least once, so it feels great to finally have it made into something I love :> the hood turned out so huge and fairytaley which is just what I wanted

Pattern: for the body I used the (free) Boho Poncho pattern from Lion Brand, though I changed up the edging. The hood is based on the 'Crochet Granny Stitch Hood Tutorial' by PassioKnit Kelsie on YouTube

Yarn: The body yarn is from King Cole, but I've had it so long I have no idea what it was - I think it may even have been discontinued :''( The lining is Stylecraft 'That Colour Vibe' in 'Joy' and 'Bold'

Clearly unblocked, but here it is! The actual crochet work on the swan doily is finished! The pattern is from the 1980s, needs some serious blocking but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Laid down in the grass too long and found himself one with it 🐸💚

Made this and tried fuzzy yarn for the first time! It was... a journey.

I have gotten so intimidated by my half-finished griffin that I made a chimeraesque frankencreature to get over my sewing fear! He's a little abomination and he will be adopted by the friend who encouraged me to make him <3

For this project I only used scrap felt and as many failed/unused parts from previous creatures. So he has:

A peryton (deer) head made for practice

Mismatched try-out dragon horns

Unused dragon spines

Recut cerberus inner legs

A kitsune tail made from the same scraps as cerberus

An alternative rabbit body I've never gotten to make before

It was very comforting to sew something that did not activate (all) my perfectionism~
