I really want to love this more than I am as it works up.
I'm really hoping like, more progress and blocking works miracles.
It's the same yarn as the pattern, but idk, it looks SO messy and blaaaah to me. Maybe I'm just too close to it. And maybe the yarn will really look great after blocking.
Really, really, really still trying to find My People here on Mastodon. Am I on the wrong server or something? I'm a self-employed #artist / #maker / #writer ... I make #ceramics ( #pottery )... dye #yarn ... #knit ... read #sciencefiction ... have two #dogs and eleven #cats ... am a recent #widow who loves to talk about what a wild ride #grief is ... and I'm a #Floridian scared shitless for my #BiPOC and #lgbtqia friends and family. Is that enough tags? Hello? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Hey there fediverse. I found this thing in with my mom's sewing stuff. There's only one, it has a slit in the end with the circle. Any idea what it is? A bobbin? Floss spool? shuttle?
Holy f*@k - I did a Thing!
I inherited a part ball of variegated yarn - which I dislike using because I feel it's disorganized, chaotic and messy looking. But I've seen this thing done online and decided to spend a day screwing around and tried it. It bloody worked. (Eventually) I'm amazed. A combination of programming and sorcery.
Looking for recommendations for a daily yarn crafting project for Dec! Like an advent calendar, but I’d love either one project with daily steps, or 12 or 24 tiny projects that could each be done in an hour or two. A kit I would be nice, but instructions (free or paid download) where I buy the materials separately would also be great! Any ideas out there? #advent#yarn#knitting#crochet
I couldn't resist this "Progress Pride" colour from Knitted Wit -- I'm hoping I get some pooling but even if it ends up in chaos at least the socks will be colourful! 🏳️🌈
Halfway through one project is the perfect time to plan your next project, right?
I think for my next sweater I want to use a tweed yarn and do a pattern with lots of texture and cables.
The Mahakam sweater by Rachel Brockman is gorgeous and exactly what I was looking for. And I think it will pair nicely with the Vineyard color way from Wool of the Andes
mastodon qui crochète, j'aurais une question. je dois joindre des carrés (granny). j'hésite entre plusieurs méthodes, j'aimerais savoir ta préférée. (préférée tout confondus, niveau rendu, facilité etc)
j'en mets 4 dans un sondage mais n'hésite pas à RT, ça fait de beaux ongles des pieds, et aussi à rajouter ton avis et/ou des détails ci dessous, aussi si tu utilises une méthode différente je veux bien la connaître !
It's 100% merino, hand dyed by Cesium yarn in their Est 1973 colorway. They also have an anti-fat tax (you pay less for more skeins) which is fantastical.
Feels good to have a new project on the needles. Any time I get to bust out my CG Forte needles it's a good day!
Afternoon Twters! Another cold one, I hope you're keeping warm.
Waiting on some #yarn arriving later so I can get stuck in to doing some more #crochet (hand warmers, in soft pink velvet colour, for my daughter who got a matching snood for Christmas). At the moment she has borrowed mine, and I'm well in the mood to get those back as soon as I can!
Bolognese later, after a bit of a blitz in the kitchen.
Hope you're all well, and having a lovely Thursday. 🙂
OK, I should really change all my projects that use #npm/#yarn to use #pnpm. If you barely use Node then it's probably not worth it, but for a webdev it now seems like a no-brainer.
This week has been about 143% of what a week should be (conservative estimate). Whenever I got frustrated today, I comforted myself with the fact that yarn was slated to arrive in my absence. Too many people? New yarn. Driving far too long? Hope it is soft. Exhaustion? A lovely purple. Kids being an absolute nightmare? Motherfucking yarn 🧶
Arrived home. Opened mailbox. There was not one, but two packages!
Hey @astro, I tried running a brand new Astro project with #npm but there seems to be an issue when installing the dependencies?
When running "npm run dev" it cannot find the "astro" command. When installing it with #yarn everything works fine and as expected (no error during dependency install). 🤷♂️
I just ordered another lot of chunky yarn in my favourite colour: black 🖤 🖤 🖤 Although I love to wear this colour, it is very hard to knit or crochet with, so if I make a black item, I tend to work during the day. I'm making a chunky knit cardigan. #Knitting#Crochet#Yarn
Finished this longtime #crochet project witn #handspun#yarn yesterday and I don't really like it 🤷♀️ Let's see if it gets better after wearing it for some time.
