Well, that was unintentional, but I'm not mad about it. 💜💙

🍂 Just in time for September. I have a feeling this one's going to be knit or crocheted...and it's all going to fit on this bobbin, mark my words. #handspun #fiberarts

I've posted here (and IG, and tumblr) only a handful of times since May. I've been making! All the time! Maybe I'll put together a catch-up post to show what I've been up to this summer. Until then, enjoy the most autumn of bobbins. 🍂

Spending some quality time with my pin loom today. It's a slow craft, but a nice focus activity. I bought this for bias weaving, but I've really fallen in love with three-layer weaving as well!

A Noro Rikka warp 😱 in a reed that's too dense for it 😱 (oh my)! The past few days have been about experiments and breaking rules. The rules are often there for very good reasons, but sometimes you have to find out for yourself and decide if they're worth breaking from time to time.

Grandma hobbies???

Anyway, this yarn color is called If I Wanted Exposure, I'd Get My Tits Out. The other one is called Marine Diesel. Also, I know some sick-ass grandmas. Get your head right.

Extremely bright hot pink yarn (weft) on a multicolor hand-dyed warp (pink, white, yellow, orange, purple bits...). A darning needle sits atop a bit of weaving, and a boat shuttle rests on the warp in the background. The next photos are the same from different angles.

I certainly hope so! I'm using some more deep stash for the weft. 🩷

This yarn by @kralalien.bsky.social is so much fun. I can't wait to see how it turns out. 💜🧡🩷✨

I'm not quite done sharing these lovely Lincoln locks I picked up during a trip to Kentucky last year. The shop intended them for felting, but look! 🥹
A hand holds a lock of Lincoln longwool, showcasing the varied natural colors of the fleece. The wool has a deep U-shaped crimp and is quite lustrous. A black and green striped cross-arm spindle with maple shaft sits atop a wooden work table. A small amount of gray-brown wool has been spun onto it, and a lock of the wool sits to the side.

Scheming...

An hand holds a deep blue/purple tonal skein of single-ply yarn. A tattoo of three small sheep, adorns the visible forearm. Below the hand and skein, more than a dozen crocheted hexagons are arranged in a pleasing pattern, in colors of blue, purple, navy, gray, and black.

It's been raining in Las Vegas for the better part of two days, and the cozy vibes are immaculate. I know it won't last, but I'm enjoying it while it's here and setting up my next scarf on the loom. 😌

On Monday, I took my trusty (and lightweight) Woolmakers Bliss out to the park for a #spinning date! Finished these singles that I'd been meaning to get around to, listened to the birds, and chatted with some kind folks who stopped for questions/compliments. 10/10 experience really.

Who says you can't use big, squishy yarns on a floor loom? I have a 6-dent reed. Watch me. 👀

Two large balls of soft chainette yarn, varying between shades of blue, teal, and brown. An iridescent purple pair of scissors sits in front of the yarn, while a bright green, leafy pothos plant trails behind.

Crafturday with a naked espinner in tow meant it was time to start a new spin! 🧶

This warp just won't end, but on the bright side I had four bobbins of leftover green yarn to use up. Also modified the treadling because why not? 🧶 #weaving #stashbuster #overshot

Man, a new skein of handspun yarn is just so satisfying. Time for a bath! 🧶

This mini sat in my stash for *years* because I wasn't sure what to do with the wild variegation back when I only knit. The other thing I've done with it is a little practice inkle band. ☺️

What a fun fabric! I have a little triangular pencil bag that I think would look great made out of this. 🌈🧶

This might be the most satisfying bobbin I've ever wound. 🌈🧶
A weaving bobbin is being wound with a shiny rainbow yarn. The colors line up nicely along the bobbin shaft for a pleasing aesthetic.

Baby's first overshot is going well, *except* the tension on this handspun alpaca warp is absolutely atrocious. I'm not sure yet what happened to it, but I'll keep weaving until I can't anymore or until something snaps. 😅😬

Hey! I'm Liz, and I make things. 👋

I'm currently working on my first overshot weaving project, a simple crochet shawl, some handspun yarn, and learning to sew with handwoven fabric.

...do we use hashtags here? #weaving #crochet #spinning
Weaving project in progress. White warp (background) with pink variegated weft (foreground) making a geometric design on the fabric. A hand holds a green variegated crocheted piece with a black stripe across it. Crochet hook is visible on top of the project. A blue espinner bobbin with handspun yarn on it, in bright and muted orange hues. A blue and white variegated piece of fabric bunched up, held in front of a weaving loom in the background.
