y'all said such kind words about my dad's crewel work so here are more pictures!

These are before he started putting himself and Addie (the doggo) into each one. I think my favorite is the one with the lavender fields but I'm also a big fan of the one with the stripey rocks =D

Nålbinding Bottle Cozy

I finished a thing!

Yarn: Lettlopi, colourways 1705 (lambagras) and 0005 (hærusvartur) and Catania leftovers (probably 105, 208, 398) and Catania Color (233).

The body is nålbinding, no pattern.

The flowers are crochet, following patterns from RaffaMusaDesigns (they're super easy, just 2 rounds basically!).

The drawstrings I made with a lucet.

So like, a cross crafts project! ^_^

I love it and most importantly, kid 1 for whom this was made, loves it too ^_^

The one bizarre thing to me about textiles is that warp-weighted weaving is at least 6500 years old, but our oldest knitted artifacts are only ~1000 years old, and crochet 200 years old. Even though you need less equipment to knit (two sticks) or crochet (one hook) compared to warp-weighted weaving (frame, loom weights, batting, heddles). Why the big gaps between these inventions? And why did each one appear and spread when it did?

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

The next major project is at last done. 5inch hoop, mostly single strand with three strand for the scales. Holo shimmer accents, felt padding for the bubbles. I like how it turned out for my first fish!

I got a new toy - it’s a flat mending mushroom BUT the stem is hollow so I can keep darning needles in it 😀

#painting is a good idea!! #make the tools pretty!! #guess mine could also profit from some painting!
