So, I started to learn how to needle tat and after my first successful attempt, I immediately got the crafters audacity to try it with beads!

It's a lot of fun!

The other pic is of my 10 or so failed tries

@lladyllamafiberco thank you so much for sharing this resource with me. I was trying to be brave once and bought a Turkish spindle not quite knowing what to do with it. Abby is amazing and explains everything so clearly. I may just grab some roving and take to the spindle thanks to you.

What I love about Tumblr so much is how we can all share resources and create communities.

What special tricks or techniques have you stumbled upon that changed the game?

me, attempting to knit: wow, the first rows were kinda wonky but I’m picking it up fast :)

me, attempting to purl: stitches crossing over, needles stabbing the yarn, me muttering blasphemies under my breath, something is probably on fire

TdF day 16

My second ply of this wool is done and I'm sure it'll be my longest yet, or at least longest 3ply

I'm really happy with my progress and the resulting yarn!

Can't wait to cast on the vintage jumper, I made a swatch already, came out super pretty and perfect on stitches, not so much on rows, but that's easy to work around
