#yarn leaves

[unopenablebox]

finished my shawl!

#as ever pattern is booknits' mojito & yarn is madtosh tml+copper cousteau; beads are miyuki 6/0s in muscat #this used in the neighborhood of 400m of yarn + 900 beads #< notes that god willing i will enter into ravelry instead of leaving here only #knitting #box opener #look how great it is. im delighted. #i'll probably post full-spread photos as a blocking before-and-after or smth. you can see from this post that my blocking esp on the picots #was what you might call 'naturalistic' #BUT. still looks v cute imo. presumably it will need to get re-blocked at some point in its lifetime #and by then i will have more experience. and more pins.

Hey y'all! This question came up when I had family visiting, and I am genuinely unsure of how common this is

#the person behind the yarn #I always have a deck of cards in any bag I carry with me #before I had a purse it was in my yarn project bag #before that in my school backpack #now that I have to take a purse when I leave the house for carrying emergency meds reasons #I have a deck of cards in there in case I'm ever bored somewhere and want to pass the time #and I was out with family and pulled out a deck of cards and they were very surprised #I do want to look up the instructions for a few more two or three player card games though #I mostly default to playing Speed and that's kinda unfair to play with kids #well okay maybe not unfair in general but A. I am very very good at that game* and B. the kidlet I was playing with was not familiar #with how the facecard numbers work #so I had to slow down a lot #(*when I had the deck of cards in high school Speed was usually what I played and I got a LOT of practice lol)

MRS. PIGGY HAS AN UGLY SWEATER! I REPEAT: MRS. PIGGY HAS AN UGLY SWEATER!

it's baggy in the wrong places and overall Not Very Good! but that's to be expected seeing as i've never crocheted a sweater before, let alone one for a stuffed animal (and i had to kinda bullshit the pattern, seeing as it was made for a more proportional/bigger aminal). i'm proud of it. she looks nice and cozy for the coming winter months

#i added a nice lil scalloped edge for added Flair #might make a teeny tube sweater for her worm wife! #i have tiny yarn around here somewhere.... #this yarn is lowkey shit tho lmao #i saw nonbinary themed yarn and blacked out but Man. shouldve gotten a different one #the dye job is Terrible. i mean absolutely Abysmal. the blacks have bled so much into the yellows and whites #i love crochet. its so frustrating and so fun and i get to Make Things! #and its easier than i could have ever expected! #absolutely unprompted #photos from the bog #ohhhhh i should make her an autumn themed granny square sweater #im sure i could finagle my way into making it work #make two squares. stitch em together. leave room for arm holes. yeah! #i might be more of a poncho than a sweater but that'd fit her lovely body type better anyway!

Horse sewing progress is slowed because it's Baking Cookies Weekend, the weekend in December where I am struck by the urge to bake a whole bunch of cookies so I can share them with the neighbors So far, that means chocolate oatmeal no bake cookies and coffee-chocolate shortbread, and next up is gingersnaps! And citrus cookies* I'll be honest I'm probably keeping the gingersnaps for my family and not sharing them with the neighbors? They are one of those recipes I haven't been able to make in a long time because they are little labor-intensive and they are one of my absolute favorite cookies *any time I am giving a gift of cookies I try to include at least one non-chocolate cookie option, and my default is citrus cookies because they are pretty, the dough can be made ahead of time (they are slice and bake cookies), and most people I've made them for have never had a cookie like them before

#the person behind the yarn #baking #food mention #I call the cookies citrus sables or citrus cookies #but the recipe is actually for margarita cookies #I just make them with orange juice instead of tequila #I leave the salt and sugar edges of the cookie though #very good! they are very good cookies #the gingersnaps are better (in my experience) #the two chocolate cookies are good but like you can buy chocolate cookies at the store #storebought gingersnaps are not as ginger-y and lemon cookies I've found in stores are like lemon-y sugar cookies? #also good but not the same

I'm going to my first fiber fest tomorrow! Help me pick out patterns and decide what to buy!

I've been crocheting for about 3 years now and feel like I'm at a solid intermediate skill level now, which means I'm going to treat myself to some fancy yarns! I've done some looking online at hand dyed yarn and am feeling quite overwhelmed honestly. There are so many dyers and yarn bases and color combinations, and I have no idea what will look good crocheted. Most of the swatches of hand dyed yarn are knit and crochet eats up so much yarn that I have no idea how the yarn would look in a crocheted project, so I'm feeling a bit lost! Should I go for stripes? Speckles? Gradients? Tonals? I just don't know!

I'd really love to make a shawl/wrap in hand dyed wool, but am struggling with finding a pattern so I know how much yarn to buy tomorrow. Does anyone have any crochet shawl patterns that will look good with hand dyed yarn? I'm open to working with anything from fingering to worsted weight and feel pretty confident with most stitches. I would prefer something that doesn't have large sections of open work or lace, but I will conquer crocheted lace if there's a pattern out there that would shine with a hand dyed yarn. I'm also pretty confident with Tunisian crochet and have been eyeing a few shawl patterns from TL Yarncraft recently.

Any recommendations for yarn or patterns is greatly appreciated!

Here are the patterns I've been considering, but I cannot for the life of me decide which one to buy for. Please help!

#crochet #hand dyed yarn #wool fest #crochet help #crochet pattern #crochet shawl #I'm going to the wool gathering in Yellowsprings OH if anyone has a vendor you think I NEED to see #I will not unfortunately be buying things to learn how to spin #because my roommates are already fed up with me leaving yarn and fabric scraps and fuzzes everywhere I walk #I can't imagine how they'd feel about me bringing home loose fiber and flinging it everywhere while I learn #I also really hope vendors have pre-made things tomorrow! #I really want some alpaca socks but there is no way I'm learning how to knit socks just for that

More handspun linen blanket work. Feels super nice, even though theres lots of, idk what it would be called but bits of undesirable vm that ought to have been threshed out. When im finished ill give it multiple good beatings and thrashings that should soften it up, and then im hoping to dye it with some oregon grapes.

I actually have a whole ton of dyestuff ive been collecting in the freezer that i need to turn into dye, bc im moving very soon and i dont want to be bringing bags of frozen berries and pits and peels with me.

Also gonna go harvest this in a minute--its a horrifically overgrown patch of oregano, and i read a few days ago that you can get a dark, almost black dye out of the dried stems. And i dont even like oregano as a spice, so... just gonna get the stems.

#not sure what im gonna do about all my plants in the ground.... #digging up the sorrel and the thyme for sure #the lavender might just be too big and the bees love it so much #so i might have to leave it which depresses me deeply #whoever lives here next can have the fuckin oregano tho. my god. grew like mad #knitting #handspun yarn #gardening #natural dyeing #linen #flax spinning

Hello, knitters and crocheters of Tumblr

I come to you with an app idea, not to start any sort of crowdfunding, I don't want to start the next Tumblr scam. This is just something I want to do (actually, already started to do because I have bad impulse control) and I want to see if anyone else would be interested in using it. Again, I am asking for $0.00 MXN (that's $0.00 USD), and it would be a free app, no ads, maybe I'll slap a link to my Ko-Fi in it but that's it.

I am not doing this for profit, I'm doing it because it'll be useful for me, because the idea goblin in my head in insatiable, and my hubris is immeasurable.

Details under the cut, and I'll be adding updates as I go at the end of the post

The idea is:

An app to help you keep track of current knitting and crocheting projects, projects (aka patterns) you want to get to, and materials you need for all that stuff.

The WIP section would have tabs for each project you started, because if you're like me, it won't be just one. Each tab would include:

A row counter

Information on the pattern, like its name, some notes, the section you're currently working on (for patterns with different sections where the row count is reset)

A timer for the time you've been working on that project, because you deserve fair pay if you sell your craft so you have to know how long you've worked on it

The patterns section would have, well, patterns. For at least version 1.0, I'm thinking a list of PDFs that are stored in your phone and open in your phone's PDF viewer.

Finally, the materials section would just be a good old fashioned shopping list. You input items manually, you check 'em as you get 'em.

---------------------------------------------

Update 29/01

I've finished the mockups and the design of the icons I'll be using in the app. I'm going to start moving into coding territory.

Update 06/02

I've started the development and it's going pretty well. I opted for React Native, and while I have experience with React, I was a bit daunted by the idea of going into React Native. But! It's been smooth sailing so far. I've got a sturdy project structure, a functional menu, and an almost functional shopping list.

Update 19/02

I missed last week's update because I was very sick. For most of the first week, after finishing the shopping list, I worked on code organization and documentation. Now that I was sure that I was going to use React Native, I wanted to make sure the project is organized and sturdy. After that, I've been working on the pattern list, which has been a bit of a pain because I want to respect the user's privacy and security and not access the entire filesystem if I don't need to.

Update 27/02

I got frustrated with my troubles with the filesystem, so like any good procrastinator, I put that part aside and started working on other stuff. Apart from tinkering with the style and some background work to improve performance, I've also added support for different languages (currently just English and Spanish because those are the ones I feel confident I won't fuck up the translations, but I'm thinking of later asking for help with more languages), and I've started working on the WIP section.

Update 08/03

I haven't been able to work on it a lot this week because I had a lot of work to do for my actual job (I had to do my job at my job, shocking, I know), but last week I finished building the first functional version of the WIP section. As it is, it's only for one project, but it should be relatively easy to add tabs for multiple projects. I also had the chance to do something like a demo with a potential user, which is just a fancy way of saying I showed what I've done so far to my cousin (a great knitter & crocheter) and she really liked it :D

Update 12/04

Gap in updates because I was a bit overwhelmed by my job so I gave myself a lil vacation on this project. This week I got back to work and now the WIP screen officially supports multiple projects in different tabs. This means the WIP screen is done! Which means I will soon have no choice but to stop procrastinating the pattern list and face my filesystem problems oh no.

The poll has ended but I'm leaving the results up:
