🍓?

🍓 Do you have a dream project? What would you craft if you had infinite time and money?

Good question! I would. I think. I mean if we're talking infinite time & resources I would get a big, professional loom and learn how to make real cloth. And I would set up a weighted loom and recreate Bernie's outfit w handspun yarn. because I love him.

🌼 and 🌿!

Thank you so much for the ask my dear!! 🤗💖

🌼 Do you have a project (current or a past one) you want to talk about?

Not a current project, but a future one! It isn’t on the needles just yet, but the yarn is in hand, and I am Itching To Make It. It is going to be a cropped sweater top, with floaty bishop sleeves, in a blood/wine red. It would be on the needles already, but I figure I should finish at least one of my current current ones! 😅

And because it is the Summer Solstice today, I also want to re-share my Solstice Shawl, which reminds me of sunlight/phoenix fire! I finished it about a year ago today! ☀️

🌿 What tips would you give a beginner? What is something you wish you had known when you started?

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and rip back! I made so many plain old hats and scarves for many years because I was afraid to branch out and try more difficult things. And then I tried to do more difficult techniques, and turns out they aren’t so difficult after all (plus, it helps that there are so many helpful videos these days; it was much harder many years ago!). Plus, even if a mistake is made, it is not so big a deal to rip back!

That, and lifelines!! They are a lifesaver esp with lace and also when playing yarn chicken!

Oh! And one more- store yarn/finished items in ziploc bags or plastic bins with lavender soap or sachets- keeps moths away (and the lavender smells nice too!). (I unfortunately learnt abt moths the hard way 😫)

did i ever tell you guys about the time i had a professor for a class called "shakeapeare ii: history and tragedy" and he apparently was somewhat of a Big Deal in academic circles because he would get invited to all these conferances and apparently there is one in i THINK indiana where you have to present your most recent research and academic writing and if you go over time you get chased off the stage by someone in a bear costume

you literally must exit, chased by a bear

I'm pretty jealous my hair won't cooperate ever. I'm pretty sure it's a combo of hair texture and layers.

I feel ya. Normally it would have taken me like two hours and re-braiding 4 times to get it to work, but I guess the hair follicles were in alignment this time around! ;)

that looks hella fancy and awesome

Well thank you!!! It was just one of those days when you look in the mirror and go, "I need my head to not look like *gestures* THIS anymore." And I'm pretty excited about how it came out. Wasn't even that hard. :)
