I am on a quest to find an in-person #weaving mentor who'd be up for driving to Stanford to show us how to set up and use the loom at the #TextileMakerspace. This collides with digital humanities, as the fiber artist guild of the South Bay has no website, only an Earthlink email, and you have to fill out an anti-spam email submitter request form for the person to receive your email, and the form throws errors and does not submit. 😬

Just playing with the hacked #KnittingMachine with my favorite band's logo and some donated sequin yarn. Moderate glitch art effect but not as bad as I feared from the mess on the back.

Love the #AYAB software/hardware (All Yarns Are Beautiful) but some yarns, frankly, are a massive pain to work with. #knitting #TextileMakerspace

Was just interviewed about leadership by the friend of one of my #TextileMakerspace students, and now I'm going to just curl up in a ball of awkward embarrassment about the whole thing.

I was so excited to finally get a punchcard #knitting machine to knit a design that I was pretty sure was an #owl from the punchcard, but honestly, now I'm having doubts. 🤔 #TextileMakerspace

There's nothing like retroactively writing blog posts for the whole academic year so that your newly-launched lab blog doesn't look sad to make you realize how much has happened since September. Anyhow, the #TextileMakerspace just relaunched its website: https://textilemakerspace.stanford.edu/ #DigitalHumanities

Working on a #TextileMakerspace website overhaul, and I got the idea in my head to write profiles of each of our machines in the first person. And ooh, spelling out these machines' quirks in their own voices is dangerously fun. #sewing

Oh look, it's me begging for #funding for the #TextileMakerspace. 🥺 #DigitalHumanities #textiles #ACNH

The day started with my office ceiling collapsing on my new loom, and ended with my #HathiTrust data capsule, presumably, being possessed by Satan, given it wouldn't do anything besides type the number 6, unbidden as I was trying to teach. #loom #DigitalHumanities #TextileMakerspace

Pardon the hysterical laughing if it rumbled across the internet and disturbed you -- that was just me finding out that the "Data Visualization with Textiles" class that I thought had 3 students has... 16. 😳🤯🤣 #DigitalHumanities #Textiles #DataViz #TextileMakerspace

Today's most-fun #DigitalHumanities task: pulling up the #DataSittersClub book cover visualizations and trying to pick yarn to roughly color-match our corpus. #TextileMakerspace #knitting

Class registration opened yesterday, and to my surprise, my completely un-advertised "Data Visualization with Textiles" class has two EECS students signed up already. 😳 Guess we're going interdisciplinary next quarter! #textiles #TextileMakerspace

This morning I found the perfect dress for "I'm teaching PCA today but mostly I'm just excited about the floor loom showing up after class." #DHsewing #DigitalHumanities #loom #weaving #TextileMakerspace

For #fiberuary intentional holes week... I'm not totally sure if these holes are intentional? But one of the joys of shared crafting space is you can always imagine you've come across the traces of an inspired idea. #TextileMakerspace

I have spent the day teaching everything from #HathiTrust collection-building to vanquishing Word gremlins to getting Unicode data into Excel to rotary cutter skills to Cricut configuring to threading a serger and coverstitch at the #TextileMakerspace -- all to friendly & agreeable adults. I am so tired. I would not survive two days as an elementary school teacher. #DigitalHumanities

Rhyming is a cheap hack for relevance, but I couldn't resist bringing "fashion" to the "passion" pop-up exhibit at the Library with the Mobile #TextileMakerspace. Today's dress is 1924, a mix of magazines and fashion catalogs. And Dr Cheese Bones held a sign I embroidered today, with a salvaged screw-up. #DigitalHumanities #DHsewing #embroidery

Today I'm running an event at the #TextileMakerspace so I made a new dress last night. Calling this one "sewing is fun and easy and you should try it". 😂 The skirt is reminiscent of a Japanese sewing pattern with all the pieces laid out on top of one another. #DHsewing

Mastobroidery is underway! #embroidery #mastodon #TextileMakerspace

There's nothing like watching a video for how to bind off from the knitting machine to make you realize, gee, this project definitely needs to be longer. Much longer. So much longer will it ever truly be done? Let's just keep knitting. 🤯 #knitting #TextileMakerspace

Update: I have been ordered to take "whatever that thing is" off the tables and not put it anywhere near the couch. 😅 It has now taken up residency by the Christmas tree. #knitting #TextileMakerspace
