I feel horrible for not being active here but honestly, disability life caught up to me and I’m also really struggling with fiber artist block since I want to start learning how to knit but I just really don’t want to do a garter stitch scarf to start

I’m really glad I generally exist, but being hugged and told how much of an impact me giving away a bag of yarn (at least 30 skeins or so) meant to my bus driver really brightened my day. I do what kindness I can with what means I have and clearly, that’s working in my favor.
Just gave a whole bag of yarn away to my accessibility bus driver today and honestly, I feel great because she’s easily one of the best drivers for the city and it feels good to be so incredibly kind to her!

Spending my evening a bit sick from eating too many grapes and making a list of my long-term crochet and knit autumn and winter capsule wardrobe

I'm picking up a new #fiberart and #culturalcraft: Bobbin Lace! It's all thanks to receiving a scholarship to a four week introductory course from @craftysorceress.bsky.social. Here's today's three hours of work!

Spending my Monday evening eating a succulent Chinese meal and wearing in ends on my big laundry basket of donation scarves and honestly, this is kind of the life I’ve always wanted.

A little sneak peak at my #finishedprojects and recent #crochetwips, all of which are going to be donated. Some of the scarfs are projects I picked up and finished from last year but a lot of these scarves have been made over the course of January and February. Now they just need a wash & block!

Think my before bed activity tonight will be planning out my crochet capsule wardrobe, as well as a future knit wardrobe. I think it would be really nice to have a set amount of handmade items that I can grow with and learn to darn, too’

Popped into Joann for my final time and this aisle really captured the end of an era that just didn’t have to come.

I’ve got a lovely bucket of completed #crochetwips that need blocking. They’re all things I’ve finished this year which feels really good because I’ve been feeling like I’m creating less when I actually just think I’m hitting a place of awareness as I grow my skills

Made a #crochet scarf in about 45 minutes last night using my favorite wool blend yarn, Hue + Me. Pretty impressed with how quickly this worked up!

Decided to get my daily dose of sunshine by sitting and watching the waves near my local bookstore and #crocheting. I don’t know what scarf number this is but it’s gotta be a two digit number since I’ve been making them since January.

Totally forgot to share this #crochetwip here on #yarnsky though that’s probably because I’m likely going to frog this since it was just practice for both the Tunisian purl stitch and the honeycomb stitch though I do kind of love hope the stitch looks on this worsted weight scarf…

Recently got in an order of yarn I’ve been waiting for from Lion Brand as I continue to plan an entire wardrobe of handmade sweaters.

Just got a yarn order in that I've been waiting for since 1/28 only to find that the pattern I'm using maybe didn't have plus size pattern testers and won't work at all for me. Thankfully, I've got other patterns i

Y’all. Y’all. Y’all.
I finally learned how to purl and now I can make a ribbed scarf with hand that if I practice enough, I can actually start on making my first ever knitted sweater this Spring, which means I can make MULTIPLE sweaters!

I've been using my recent Joann yarn haul to make more scarves, which are perfect for learning new Tunisian crochet stitches. These two feature the Tunisian full stitch: the rolled scarf is done and took me about a three days, and I've already started another one!

Spending my weekend learning two new #tunisiancrochet stitches: the purl stitch and the honeycomb stitch. I'm using Michael's Loops & Thread Soft Classic in Curry since it's kind of the color of honey. Plus, it's giving really nice stitch definition!

Started a new scarf right before bed last night, and I'm already on the second skein! This is another Wool Ease T&Q project in the colorway City Lights. Really loving how this is working up! #fibersky #crochetsky

It's Friday and I have another #crochetwip on my straight Tunisian hook. Another Tunisian Knit Stitch scarf made with two skeins of Wool Ease T&Q in Petrol Blue. Here's tonight's progress: first pic is from before dinner, and the second is where I decided to stop for the night.

There's nothing quite like the sound of a metal straight Tunisian hook against a wool blend yarn. A very peaceful sound to help me find the energy to take a day to rest my mind and create.

@aoc.bsky.social just started knitting a few weeks ago and honesty, rather than feeling envy I just feel encouraged and like maybe I should just start my knitting journey in earnest now so I can grow alongside her. She's really encouraged me to just start for my own peace of mind!
