This is NOT the spirit of true twineballing 🧶 (OTD in 2021)

🧶 Done 💀 Almost falling asleep 😪 so straight to bed for me now 😴 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Latest crochet piece 🧶💜 This wasn't what ruined my wrist btw — that happened as I was blocking this and I stood up from the couch *wrong* and my wrist just went snap under my meagre weight 💀 being 30+ is a real hoot 🫠

A pile of tatting. 🧶

🧶 I decided it would be a funny bit to weave in all of the ends Tanya was complaining about

I’m going to attempt the Pressed Flowers hat by Amy Christoffers. Fingers crossed youtube can save my ambitious arse 🧶

Oh no. It’s the dreaded mid-knit regret. This is the second attempt with this yarn combination — a really soft worsted wool and a strand of mohair. It’s so squishy and soft but… I can’t imagine wearing the finished product. Hmm. Nevertheless, I shall persevere! 🧶

Not instant noodles 🐸 🧶

All these knitting patterns with mohair are making my head hurt and my bank account non-responsive 🧶

So when I’m not raising money for cancer research I’m a pretty capable knitter with a specialty in much-sought-after socks. Well, now is your chance to get a pair of your own! Contribute to my fundraising campaign and enter a draw for a pair of custom, hand knit socks! Click through to the post to find out more!🧶 b-ark.ca

Finished two drop-stitch scarves recently. 🧶 I love Malabrigo yarn.

🧶 Sorting My Pages On MicroBlog

🧶 What would it mean to "put React in the browser"? Can something like element.replaceHTML(html) be added to the platform to perform diffing and update the DOM? Me and @surma.dev talk it through: https://offthemainthread.tech/episode/putting-react-in-the-browser/

I can’t handle much Instagram but I logged on for a bit tonight and it was so cool to see so many guys knitting and crocheting! White, BIPOC, straight, queer, there was an amazing and beautiful variety of menfolk doing the fiber crafts and proudly showing off their yarn-y makes, I love it! :) 🧶

🔖🧶 Read This Is Your Brain on Fibre by Michelle Woodvine (Digits & Threads).

A great article that explores a lot of the reasons fiber crafting is good for our mental health.

🧶 ICYMI, here's the latest episode of OTMT, where me and @surma.dev chat about service worker static routes, and whether it's ever ok to throw away most of the web platform and do everything in . Listen here: https://offthemainthread.tech/episode/canvas-based-webapps/

I just made this in crochet class. It’s a bunny. But I think it looks more like a koala. 📷🧶

Hahaha yes 🧶 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Monomaniacally devoting myself to do better at matching seams this time around and it is very paying off 🧶

"Visible Mending" weaves tales of emotional repair, one stitch at a time. 🧶

🧶 A learning project to get used to circular needles, tea, and watching The Family Plan.

you there, bring me your finest ball of yarn 🧶 mostlycatsmostly.tumblr.com

I’ve been meaning to make a self-hosted space for my knitting pattern designs, and here it finally is. So far it’s just the beginner-friendly stash-buster, but I have about a half-dozen more that just need testing, writing and publishing. 🧶 www.bapsicrafts.com/knitting-…

Shout out to Ravelry for letting me follow my Ravelry friends’ updates via RSS. ❤️🧶

Sunday project close-up. 🧶 I’m pleased with how this is turning out!

Hot Off The Needles and already I am planning to frog it. 🧶 This is the Little Lace Scarf by Lisa Hannes. TBVH, I dislike the finished object. The pattern is great, the design is too, but I realized now that my yarn was not ideal for the project. I used Knitting for Olive Pure Silk, which is, as the name... rori.micro.blog

Det känns som att de som gillar att sticka är helt galna i sitt stickande. Det är inte utan att jag blir lite avundsjuk på de som har en hobby som de älskar så mycket. Det verkar också väldigt mysigt att sticka. Jag kan tänka mig ett sånt här rum hemma om jag bara kunde uppskatta själva stickandet 🧶

Fridays are long. They start with an early train so I can get some of my sermon writing done before a day in the classroom for my training course. Then another hour or so of writing before getting the train home. Enjoying making some socks and watching a film with my wife. 🧶

Someone recently asked me for pointers to good sock knitting lessons. Not a pattern. Lessons on how to really grok knitting socks. So I decided to try throwing something together, specifically for how I approach toe-up socks! Warning, this is definitely a first draft, so it’s very possible I’ll come back and update this post to fix things up…🧶 b-ark.ca

Makin' some fingerless gloves/handwarmers ☺️ 🧶

Made two of these for Christmas gifts 🧣🧶

Another sock done (first of a pair)! Like my last pair, these socks have a slip stitch bottom and then I added a 3x1 rib on the top and leg for a little stretch and texture. Meanwhile I finished the second toe, and I actually tried to make the stripes match this time….

🧶

This color is going to be fun 🤩 “Fall Leaves” 🍂 🧶

Starting the next scarf 🧣 Will be making a bunch of these in various colors as Christmas gifts 🧶 🎄

Starting a new scarf 🧶

So I went to the #Edmonton Expo this weekend and discovered Tee Turtle was there and selling this shirt. As you can imagine, it spoke to me…
