If you are interested in the early blue & white knitted socks found in Egypt, the Museum der Kulturen Basel has put their collection online.
As the search engine is a bit tricky as yet, I put together a blog post that includes them and a few from other institutions: nalbound.com/2025/11/04/b...

I'm looking for book recomendations:
- Strong female characters
- Not gory, not crime, not just spice
- Writen in Finnish, Swedish or English
- No black leather for every Viking
Books I have enjoyed: 7 Sisters, Outlander, Anne of Green Gables
Books I haven't enjoyed: LotR, SoIaF

Two weeks ago I got to meet her!
I was very envious when so many of you were posting about the #Neanderthalerin exhibition earlier in the year, but two weeks ago I happened to be close enough to drop in for a quick look! And it was deffinetly worth the walk!

Tämä ei ole hyvän mielen postaus, mutta ehkä syksyn tärkein postaukseni. Suosittelen kaikille tutkijoille ja tutkimusryhmille: käsitelkää törkyriskejä ja suunnitelkaa toimenpiteitä etukäteen yhdessä.
Lähiaikoina on tiettävästi odotettavissa törkyä tiedeyhteisöä kohtaan. Ketjusta muutama pikavinkki.

I frogged a dormant project today. It was casted on on a whim to be knitted with my knitting machine. After 10 years of owning a knitting machine, I have come to the conclusion, that I don't like knitting with the machine and I don't think the sock blank-hype came to stay. It's time to say farewell.

The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine.
Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.

Althought crafts are very much part of the material world, crafting in the other hand is very strongly immaterial.
What aspects of the immateriality are the important factors for you in crafting?

It has been at the collection of the German hosiery online museum, which has been closed down. Do you know which museum the physical object might be?

Does anyone know if any of the Fatimid/Mamluk knitted socks have been DNA typed for the cotton type or isotope analysed for the area of growth?

Tieteentekijöiden liitto on huolissaan tieteen vapauden heikentymisestä niin kansainvälisesti kuin Suomessa. Viime aikojen tapahtumat osoittavat, että poliittinen valta pyrkii yhä avoimemmin ohjaamaan sitä, mitä tutkijat voivat tutkia, julkaista ja sanoa, liitto toteaa kannanotossaan.

I'm crocheting an ovaloid project bag, and would prefer adding a sturding line at the top. As the shape is free form, the hoops I have won't work, what would you recomend instead?

Stories of crafting: "few" ball bands from the first ~20 years of my crafting history.
- 52 different manufacturers

I know these aren't all, I couldn't find any Red Heart bands or few others I can remember working with.
