Another spinning wip off the wheel 🧶 tweed merino and camel down blend from Paradise Fibers in the colorway Pumpkin Spice; spun on a schacht ladybug and plied on EEW 6.1 Winding 200g of sport/fingering onto the niddy noddy is gonna burn lol 💪 #fo #craftsky #handspun #handspunyarn #knotting

6 am is my happy hour 🧡 plying up a gorgeous merino and camel down blend - another leftover wip from TDF after literal disaster occurred (I fried my EEW’s motor and had to replace splintery flyer hooks that kept tearing up my yarn, and I needed a break lol 🧶💔) #handspun #craftsky #wip #handmade

dopamine handspun complete!!! ☀️ Ended up with 130g / 450y, sport weight. My fave weight to knit with! What would u make with this? 🤔 Fiber is 100% Corriedale by Feederbrook Farms. No colorway name, but here’s the braid again for a lil before/after! Spun on EEW 6.1 #spinning #handspun #craftsky 🧶

Spinning project near completion. Can’t wait to see her in skein form 🧶 #spinning #craftsky #yarn #knitting #fiberarts #handspun

ok ok ok ok this is how the whacky braid is plying up. Consider my gob smacked. Is… is this love?!! #handspun #yarn 🧶 #spinning #wip #craftsky

Complete bobs! My estimation was only a little off when I halved this fiber… 🤫 This is what I mean when I say this project gets questionable. The bits of hot pink and neon/white? Chefs kiss. Gorge. Right now? A little bit Irish flag. A little bit Oompa Loompa Wtf is this gonna look like

Lunch break spinning in the sun room, doing a simple 2-ply fractal spin with this whacky braid I got last fall Nooo idea what she’s gonna look like plied. This spin goes back and forth between looking GREAT and looking… questionable. Trusting the process 🤞 #spinning #wool #yarn 🧶 #knitting

Casted on purlsoho’s half + half triangles shawl in mid-July, and this week I finally carved out some dedicated time to finish the first triangle and move onto the second color!! Love when an old wip becomes exciting again 🥰 Yarn is linen quill in bright flamingo and red poppy #knitting 🧶 #wip

good morning! Petra jacket progress. This one is a little tough on the wrists with the tight gauge, but looking soooo good #knitting #craftsky #knitsky 🧶 #handmade #yarn #wip

Friday night sunroom crochet time with my boy #craftsky #crochet 🧶 #handmade

Do u ever hit a yarn color combo that just makes you GASP?! (me!!✋ GASP!!!) 🧶 Made this bag last week, and the sensory joy of it was immense. The hot pink section is my fave - fuzzy with mohair and super bright!! Leather straps arrive later today! #handmade #craftsky #crochet

BEHOLD! A new scrappy project bag!! This one was too fun. Great size for toting around knit or crochet wips or any of ur other lil doodads Now that the hardware’s chosen, it’s time to figure out the strap. Do I wanna do Tunisian crochet? Or leather?! #craftsky #crochet #fofriday #knitting #yarn

Two young girls came to my door selling paintings and bead art. I only had $5 in cash to buy something. Coolest purchase ever. Art rules, kids rule.

finished a guy!!! 💙🩵💙 time to start his buddy Sock pattern by James N Watts - “look at holes not my toes” #knitting 🧶 #handmade #craftsky #wipwednesday

STOP. THIS IS SO GOOD!! 🧶 First wear of my third Tolsta tee! I love this pattern sm. So easy to adapt. I knitted the DK pattern in fingering, did folded hems all over, cropped the body to 14”, lengthened the sleeves to 4”, and ofc did a contrast color for the collar and sleeves #craftsky #knitting

Having a morning cuppa and making quick work of this day glo crochet project bag. Not bad for 1.5 days! There are like 7 different fibers in this thing (merino, BFL, alpaca, acrylic, linen, cotton, mohair), and I’m loving the complex textures and colors they create 🧶 #crochet #knitting #craftsky

New bag on the hook! Yarn is Caron Macchiato with 2 strands of sock scraps. Trying to loosely color match the scraps with the changes in the MC for visual cohesion This also shows how I use rigid bases to start the bag! I make my own using a circle cutter and belt hole punch #crochet #knitting 🧶

New fave use case for my crochet project bags: Displaying all those progress keepers that I LOVE to buy but never use (am more of a bulb pin girlie myself) It’s like the knitter’s version of bag charms! But functional!! Beautiful function!!! 😻🧶 #knitting #yarn #craftsky #crochet #wip #handmade

More crocheted project bags made out of yarn scraps! 🧶✨ It’s been soo fun trying different colors and textures and shapes! Also sidequested into making my own bag bases with leather scraps!! Officially in a rabbithole bc I’ve made 5 bags over the past few weeks lol #crochet #knit #wip #craftsky

been making projects bags out of my yarn leftovers 🧶 She’s a combo of old handspun, sock scraps, random mohair, etc - usually 4-5 strands together. Annnnd I love her #crochet #knitting #craftsky

spinning to the sunrise on a quiet Sunday morning makes me feel like 🌈🦄✨🥰💆‍♀️🌞🌼🥇 fiber is Tweedy Merino and Camel Down Blend by Paradise Fibers in the color pumpkin spice wheel is schacht ladybug #handspun #spinning #craftsky 🧶

TIL that joining your folded hem stitches with p2tog instead of k2tog helps the fabric lay flatter!! No flap!!!! No flare!!!! 🧶 #knitting #wip #knitsky #yarn #craftsky

#wipwednesday knitting the Tolsta Tee by Rebecca Clow (with mods) using Bio Garn GOTS 🧶 Once again following the DK pattern using fingering weight. She is SO light. So drapey. Imagine her with a black bra underneath?!! Had 2 sec to snap a pic bc Rolo scoped it out so fast #knitting #knitsky #cat
