@fibrearts @crochet As promised, here are some photos of my current WIP. I’m working on a crocheted top called Spiderdream. It’s an asymmetrical construction so I’ve done one sleeve and shoulder and am working across the body to the second shoulder. The yarn is from a 2023 advent calendar. #crochet #fibrearts #nightshift #garmentconstruction

@knitting @fibrearts This is the inside of my sweater. I’m only going to weave in the ends that are visible (so ones near any openings). The rest will be left as they are. I’m hoping that over time, they will felt slightly. #knitting #stripes

I finished my sweater the other day. I had several odd 100g of fibre and wondered what I could do with them. This seemed like a good solution. I just need to weave in the ends 😂 #knitting #fibrearts

@knitting @fibrearts Sometimes I finish things! These have taken an embarrassingly long time to knit. In fact I saw them on a knitting photo from last year and I know they’d taken ages then. To be fair, I did knit these a few times after I decided to reknit the heel and the. I decided to change my needle size. Still. I got there in the end. #knitting #socks

Well, that’s another day done. I’m tying to look at it as being another day closer to my mood improving, whenever that may be. Like counting down to Christmas, only December has an unknown number of days. Goodnight

@fibrearts @spinning I’m spinning during this set of nights. This is “Purple Teepee” by John Arbon. 50% merino and 50% Jacob. This was from their special last year and I’ve got 600g to spin up. #spinning #yarn #fibrearts #handspun

Been waking up every hour or so since 9pm, it’s now 3.30am so I’ve given up and gone downstairs for hot chocolate and cat. Weirdly I feel fine now, after being very freaked out about how bad I felt in the evening. So strange

Awake from 3am but my mood is fine. So weird how a few hours of sleep can sometimes reset me, but then I wake up again a few hours later and my mood is low again. Debating whether to get up and do the cat and hot chocolate thing

A finished game of chess with white winning.

@fibreart My nights this month are going to be dedicated to finishing a garment. I’m currently knitting a https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/slipping-sideways-pullover using all my odds 100g #handspun yarn I wouldn’t use for anything else. This is the back section and I’m currently working on the front. #knitting #stripe #nightshift

@spinning This is my spinning for tonight. It’s an old bump from Hilltop Cloud and is much last (for now) odd 100g bump. My next spinning will be for a garment. #spinning #handspun #handmade

@fibrearts @crochet I thought i was making squares for a blanket. It turns out this is part of my art adventure. Although it is also going to be a blanket.

@fibrearts @spinning I’ve been spinning recycled sari silk for ever. For some reason this was really slow going but I’m glad it’s done and plied! #fibrearts #spinning #handspun

I have really tried to like country music, but I just… don’t. Sometimes I listen to a bit of the Radio 2 country show to see if there’s anything I like, but it just rubs me the wrong way. I feel like this is a failing on my part

I had the worst night’s sleep and now I can’t sleep any more at 6.30am. I was looking forward to a lie in since it’s a bank holiday, but body and brain say no. Bah

@spinning @fibrearts I’ve also chain plied some other fibre. Forgive my very detailed description 😂 #handspun #handspinning #spinning #fibrearts
