A question for #knitters. Do you prefer magic loop over dpns and if so how hard was it to learn? Would you recommend it to someone with occasional brain fog? Yes, indeed I do suffer from second sock syndrome. #knitting #knitter #fibreart

Awesome wife has been recovering from carpal tunnel surgery, so no crocheting for the last few weeks.

Instead she's been getting into the dyeing. This is her latest lot.

Finally! I have some time to get this finished! I’ve been working on it for far too long. If I’m honest, I’m not enjoying it now, and I think that’s because I’m scared I’ll ruin it! It’s my rescue dog, Felix, who is a very strange shape. Anyway, I’m going to try & finish him today!! #needlefelting #felting #crafting #wool #Dogs #hobby #art #TextileArt #FiberArt #fibreart

Spinning Peacock (Corriedale x nylon) and combining with black Jacob top = my very first wheel spun 2 ply! The Jacob has been the most enjoyable to spin with so far.

Am #FungiFriday fertig geworden, das Miniatur-Pilz-Panorama nach einer wirklichen Begegnung im Wald letztes Jahr. Im Moos wuchs eine Gruppe perfekter Grünspanträuschlinge und ein kleiner weißer Pilzschnegel knabberte dran. Jetzt ist es schon gut verpackt und geht morgen raus nach #Leipzig - meine Lieblingsstadt. #mushtodon #embroidery #fibreart #MastoArt

Es passt, sehr gut🙌 Also jetzt der letzte Teil, festnähen. "Handetasche muss lebendig sein " - Grünspanträuschlinge auf Bauchtasche, Geburtstagsgeschenk für meine Älteste, die im Juli die Verteidigung ihrer Doktorarbeit in Botanik hält.

Das Pilz-Panorama und die Tasche: als nächstes werde ich das gestickte Bild auf die Tasche nähen. Zuerst werde ich es mit Sicherheitsnadeln feststecken und dann mit Knopflochgarn möglichst unsichtbar festnähen. #embroidery #mushtodon #fibreart

Nur noch ein paar Tage, dann ist das Pilz-Panorama fertig. Lange hat es Winterschlaf gehalten, aber jetzt muss es fertig werden. #embroidery #MastoArt #fibreart

Really not the main point of Octopath Traveler 2, but I really enjoy how many people in this world have warp-weighted looms in their homes! They make me smile every time.

@ClaireFromClare what an interesting article featuring my closet love #archaeology and my not so closet love of #yarn What a history of #women and their contribution to #economic success and #Climate survival. No wonder I feel deeply rooted when I have yarn in my hands.

It's been so bloody long since I last picked up my #embroidery! Mostly due to all the moving chaos but also because this project is killing me 😅 it's taking so long, and this tapestry frame helps but it's really annoying/impossible to keep taut, and it's an awkward height that hurts my back after too long!

I'm so rusty now it took hours to do half a leaf and I'm not 100% happy with my stitches! ... Buuuut it did feel good to get back into it.

One day I will have this done and hanging on the wall .. and it'll hopefully be worth it! (Pattern from a magazine, it's not my design!)

This is Flint the Caveman. I designed him for an #amigurumi contest a couple of years ago. I didn't win anything, but I had a lot of fun creating him 🙂 He's one of a few #crochet #toys I really must get round to typing up the patterns for so I can publish them on my website. I just don't know where the time goes these days! #crocheting #fibreart

Exclusive online UK screening of #TheNettleDress:

Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand, using only the fibre of locally foraged stinging nettles. This is ‘hedgerow couture’, the
greenest of #SlowFashion. It’s also the medicine that helps him survive the death of his wife, which leaves him and their four children bereft, and how he finds a beautiful way to honour her.

Really enjoyed this video with Elena Kanagy-Loux talking about the history and development of lacemaking, including the lives of women who worked as lacemakers.
