I love to boost posts with photos of textile work, but only if they have alt-texts.

Toa nyone practicing #sprang #weaving : hints on how to do long/large pieces, like e.g. a hammock in a normal-sized space like a living room, without filling said space threads all over the place?

And the moral of the story is, block your #sprang people.

#Fiberuary

I decided I was unhappy with how the seaming went so I took the seam out and now I'm about to experiment with blocking this.

Are you supposed to block #sprang ? No idea, but if this was a knit I would block it, so I will block it.

#Sprang #Fiberuary

I made the flat piece into this little cap thing. Not sure I like it. I dont' think it's doing me any favours in terms of facial flattery and modern style. Probably too weird to wear this to work.

I may still seam up the other side and try it as a silly square tuque instead. Or failing that, a bag.

I promised more pictures. Here's more pictures of the flat piece

I started with mostly Z twist interlinking, switched to S for a few rows, then back to Z and finished off in the center with a section of alternating two rows Z two rows S.

This fabric is...Weird. Compared to knitting it feels sort of limp. On one hand, that's light and airy. On the other hand that's very little recovery when stretched and a propensity to deform.

#Sprang !

So I got this piece of sprang off my loom with only a little bit of cursing during the tight bit at the end.

Now I have to figure out what it wants to be. Bag? little lace cap? Funny square tuque? Neolithic style hair net?

And either way, I'm going to need some cord. Whipcord or Lucet?

(More pictures and details coming, but my phone is being annoying)

So how's that #sprang going, you ask?

It's going great! These are pictures from a week or so ago of my initial set up.

#Fiberuary

So, one of my goals for #Fiberuary is to try something new. Sprang.

Anyone want to give me advice on selecting a yarn before I barge ahead with something random from my stash?

The #sprang hashtag is sady very underused here on the #Fediverse, so here's a little #wool bag I made recently for practice.

The #Lace Museum has posted some winter online classes. Lace is a great hobby for the cold winter days!

Hey #Yarnuary people! The hashtag poll has produced a result that’s been consistent for days and days: #fiberarts

So, go forth and tag your #fiberarts accordingly come February, plus any other tags that might be appropriate, like #needlefelting or #knitting or #sprang or, you know, whatever it is you’re doing.

Do people want me to come up with general optional monthly themes? Because I can continue to do that somewhat indefinitely if people would like (I might recycle them eventually).
