I’m working on a flat stitch #PunchNeedle piece (my first one, and trying a design I made that I am very uncertain will work out) and I feel like it’s going to take soooo much more yarn 🧶

R.I.P Twitter

I’ve been investigating #RugTufting #RugHooking and #PunchNeedle rug making online for the last hour and a half as a possible future #FiberArts direction. Now my head hurts and don’t get me started on the YouTube videos 👀 😮

I’ve ordered a couple books as a next step. I can’t watch anymore of the badly made videos. Any suggestions for good intro videos would be appreciated.

#Crafty #Crafts

I'm interested in:
🧶 #FiberArts such as #crochet, #spinning with a #DropSpindle, #LoomKnitting, and #PunchNeedle embroidery.
🎨 #Sketching and #painting.
📚 Reading, particularly #SciFi and #Fantasy. I especially love #Discworld by #TerryPratchett, and the #Cosmere by #BrandonSanderson.
:FountainPen: #Writing, mostly stories for children, and #AutoEthnography for me.
🐙 Octopuses! Squids, cuttlefish, and nautiloids are fun too but I have a special love for learning about the #octopus family.

#ragrugs made this one a while ago. Next project will be a punch needle one using up wool left overs from #knitting #crochet . Never used a #punchneedle before … any tips?

Finished the punch needle kit today. There's a few rough spots but overall I'm pretty happy with that! Not too shabby for a first attempt, I reckon.

Carrying on with the punch needle project from yesterday, and then maybe some painting later!

My first time doing #PunchNeedle this evening. I really liked it. Stabby, creativeness is the best. I really love the blue variegated floss, and the wave motif of the pattern, too.

Join me as I try a new craft today, on stream. Punch Needle.. it's like.. stabby, but punchy.. or something?

Here's the starting pile of stream projects that we have for #CraftMonth. Not pictured: the usual crochet/knitting/cross stick, soap making kit and bathfizz kit.

Unsure of the plans for this afternoon. We may just pop all these onto a wheel, and do a spin to decide!

March is gonna be all about Crafting! As well as the usual yarny stuff, we'll be trying out a bunch of new arts and crafts projects on stream. If there's other things you'd like to see me try, let me know!

#Crochet
#PunchNeedle
#RockPainting
#Clay
#Jewelry
#Embroidery
#WatercolourPainting

#WIP update: tried doing the velvet stitch/technique for the #raven. Not sure about it yet—it feels kinda counter to how we think of and see #birds? But I like the difference and texture and the fact that it is actually closer. Also, birds might be really soft and velvety to touch? I haven’t touched one in a while 😅

Still not sure about the dark brown for the hoodoos. I’m committed to finishing as is though and tearing things out if I still don’t like it

after searching for #texture in my images for two days for #fiberuary this #punchneedle thing „suddenly“ appeared at my wall (after hanging exactly in that place for five years)

it was a beginners kit from DaWanda (i think etsy bought them or sth like that)
@fiberarts @handarbeiten

Thanks to your encouragement, I’ve begun using black in this #wip in the hopes that I would feel better about the color of the hoodoo shadows! Still ambivalent but I’m going to wait.

I’m going to use long loops and then cut it to add more depth of field and to simulate feathers. Right now it looks messy but I’m confident it’ll feel nice once done.
I’ll also add a bit of red to the eyes—it’s going to be a Bmore #Ravens reference 😈

#punchneedle #embroidery #birds #fiberarts

I feel like the dark brown I chose for the crevices is all wrong too 🫠 it might be too dark??

#wip #embroidery #punchneedle #birds

I am on day 5 of isolating away from family because I am pregnant and my toddler has COVID 😩 so I have gotten a lot of this #WIP done.

I’m learning a lot about the importance of choosing distinctive colors and I’m stitch direction& size.I’ve decided to make all of the landscape parts horizontal w long stitches while all of the rock/hoodoo bits are done w small stitching, following the outline of the shape.

Finally got around to starting this and I’m loving the new hoop (ty, internet, for suggesting the Morgan No-slip Hoop) and the linen (cheaper than Aida cloth somehow, also tighter weave). However I got this far when I though: maybe this sky portion is too raised?? Maybe I should split it and go to three strands?? Gonna sleep on this before I rip it out and start over. (The clouds are six strands and *that’s* fine)

#wip #punchneedle #embroidery #fiberarts #birds #brycecanyon

Decided to freehand any discrepancies and erase any mistakes. Close enough! Ok, going to stick this on the hoop and call it a day on this project 😁 gonna think about it and how I want to work in any purple in the raven and if I want to add a red eye

#wip #punchneedle #embroidery #birds

This might not be the worst thing for this project bc the relatively low sunlight is forcing me to simplify some shapes

Today, I ran out to Blick Arts, which has the full DMC palette! Got to do some color matching and realized that I might be in over my head a bit when it comes to all of the colors. This is me trying to map out which colorways to use for which part, since the library only prints in black and white. I also outlined all of the solid color parts w a pencils to make it easy to trace onto the final fabric, which is some Irish linen (even weave, 28 ct) from Michael’s
