Finished my socks! These are made with the mini’s from one of @naturalfibrearts Silk Road boxes (January’s I think). They’re warm and cosy. #handknitsocks #handknitting #knitsocks

Knit socks, on my feet. The socks are striped with dark grey, light grey, mustard and terracotta red. The heel and toe are brown. They’re comfyyyyy

One and a half colour rows then I’m onto the toe and heel… so close yet so farrrr. I enjoy sock knitting but I really want this done already. Last night I couldn’t sleep so now I have about 20 new projects swimming in my brain

The tube part of a sock in dark grey, light grey, mustard and terracotta red stripes on my knitting needles. So close to done and I wanna nap so much.

Onto sock two. It quickly became apparent that I do not enjoy two at a time knitting so one sock then the other. #knitting #handknitsocks #sockknitting

One completed striped sock and a second partial one on the needles. Both resting on my knees. Socks are dark grey, light grey, mustard, rust stripes repeated with a brown heel and toe.

It’s cold outside but the sun is lovely. Curled up next to the big olds so I can enjoy the sunny weather without dealing with the cold.

This is third piece of fabric I ever wove. It has been sitting in a box for almost 7 years. Today it got a zip and became a cushion. I’m blaming adhd for the delay… 😂

It’s a quiet knit and podcast kind of day. Kiddo has just gotten back from her dance classes & is playing games (& before anyone starts the screens are bad crap - she does 4 hours of classes each Saturday, she can have the damned screen). Spouse-beasty is napping. Lovely day is lovely

In the foreground (in focus) is my Knitting in bright blues and purple. In the background (blurry) you can see my tablet playing podcasts, my daughter and her lunch over on the couch and my loom and spinning wheel and craft corner.

This took forever to spin. #handspun. Ashford wool and silk blend in sorbet.

Fine Handspun yarn in a delicate pastel rainbow colours.

I made yarn! First ever ball and it’s a mess of over and underspun but I’m really happy with it. It’s Leicester cross breed fleece, spun in the grease and washed after plying (2ply) #handspinning #handspunyarn #yarn

A loose ball of natural/off white yarn that is very thick and thin and over and under spun.

Lovely afternoon in the garden

My embroidery basket with various hoops and bits in it on a white outdoor table with our garden in the background. It’s all very green and lovely

Home again and back to knitting. The small one was up too late for me to work on it much while camping. #handknit #knitting

Photo of the partially completed jumper I’m working on. It’s mainly teal with a contrast yellow and pink yoke that is done in a way to show silhouettes of cats all the way round

Lunch at #saltwater on #PhillipIsland with my beloveds. Smalls hair is definitely something… it would be very easy to get me to live on an island or near the ocean. Very very easy.

Photo out the window of the restaurant we’re sitting in. My daughter is on left hand side sipping lemonade and you can see a person sitting at the outside table on the right. Between them is beautiful blue ocean and equally beautiful blue skies. My daughter’s hair is frizz central.

NYE was rough but today’s beach time made up for it. Welcome to 2026

The biggest issue with bringing my embroidery camping is I can’t fucking see once the sun drops. I started this afternoon with three leaves and now have 7 so progress! #embroidery #thesteadythread #sal2026

Black fabric held in a bright yellow embroidery hoop with 7 little gold leaves in a row embroidered into it. To once side you can see my moth needle kinder with needle on it

FOYAL has started. I finished my swatch and am onto the jumper. I’m making the Simple Sinister Sweater for my little human. The colour work here is done back to front (main colour to contrast) so the cats will be sharper in the finished one. #knitting #colourwork #FOYAL2025

A swatch consisting of teal yarn base that is broken by bright (think almost Fluro) pink and yellow yarn. Where the colour changes you get a stylised cat head.

I have officially finished #knitting my very first socks. Based of Summer Lee’s Lavendar sock pattern #handknitting #toastytoes #handknitsock

Hand knit green socks with a faux cable down the side. On my feet. There’s two of them!

Charlie DT @foxbones.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

No sure how the actual fuck I’ve gotten tonight’s work on Baggu no.3 done without tangles given the number of ends and cables going everywhere. I also have the horrible feeling I’m not going to have enough yarn… but back at it

A piece of grey and rust red knitting sits next to a yarn bowl with cables, yarn ends and leatherette coils all over the place. It’s messy.

Charlie DT @foxbones.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Fuckfuckfuckityfuck FUCK For those not familiar with interchangeable needles the bamboo bit is meant to be attached to the screw bit. I snapped it. While knitting the fucking toe - aka almost finished!!!!!!!! #knitting #knittingneedles #wellshit

Photo of a tiny (5cm/2inch long, 2.25mm tip) Bamboo Seeknit needle on the metal lid of a small tin. The bamboo bit has been snapped off the threaded bit that attaches it to the cable for use… there’s also a tiny gold heart stitch marker there but it looks really big next to the needle - they are really tiny needles.

My gamp is off the loom. Thinking cotton warp and silk weft scarves for my next maybe… although I have some very fine alpaca too…

Colour and weave gamp - different warp threading of black and white yarn are crossed by those same threadings in weft to make a map of what patterns emerge. In between sections is an orange border

Silk, wool and linen weft samples woven on the same warp as my gamp. The red wool has given some surprising and gorgeous results.

1st outside meaning the year. It’s beautiful outside. Overcast now but still lovely and warm with a cool breeze. We had a slow cooked lamb shoulder with Middle East influenced flavours and ingredients. Was goooooood!

Babies very first attempt at #embroidery. Baby being me. Not sure it’s the most successful patch of long and short stitch but it is a patch of embroidery and that is enough

A tiny patch of long and short stitch in green on an embroidery sample sheet with blue lined patterns to practice/learn on. It’s a nice texture, not sure it’s right but still…

Charlie DT @foxbones.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

Terrible photo. Rust colour is the inside and outside is grey. The bag is bigger than the pattern due to heavier yarn and bigger needles so I ran out of yarn to sew them together - I like the leather strap I’ve used though. It works. #baggu3 #knitting #handknit

Two sewn together panels of knitting that make the main outer panel and inner panel of a small bag. They’ve been laced together using leather strap.

Almost on the loom. After a lovely #crafternoon with a house full of friends and kids I’m too tired to function and too overstimulated to do much so it gets finished tomorrow. For now #mrbalen and #knitting. #handknitsocks #weaving #handwoven #warp

A photo from the back of my loom showing my warp of black and white cotton threads in various patterns with light orange pattern breaks. It’s would onto the back beam and about 4/5 threaded through the heddles

Together for 14 years today. Honestly couldn’t imagine life without them. May there be many many many more to come.

First attempt at spinning on a wheel did not go great. I was so frustrated with it, but perseverance and patience will get me there. Eventually. #spinning #yarn #beginner

Photo of my very first wheel spun yarn on my black glass dining table. It’s… definitely not a good spring. Over spun in some spots, under in others, very fine to very thick width… messy

It’s the little things. Like hot tea and a sourdough crumpet on a rainy day. The world may continue on for a little while longer

I knit it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I love this. Dad and small are gaming, I’m knitting. Dinner is on and the weather is lovely (house trashed due to upcoming camping trip)

Looks like I’m on the hunt for a secondhand saori loom. My little lady can’t manage weaving on my big one but look at her going something more to size. Very proud weaver zeze over here.

Od be lying if I said I wasn’t delighted with how this hand dyed yarn from fibres of the Yarra Valley is working up. Little Miss will be pleased methinks.

A small swatch of yellow, orange, vibrant pink hand knit still on the needle rests alongside the card for the hand dyer I purchased it from.

My partner is wonderful. He’s putting some temporary tie downs in so I can hide this for the rest of the day .

My small human (7) will be extremely happy in the morning. #crochet cocoon cardigan that quite frankly looks likes a unicorn puked it up.

1st project completed for 2025. #crochet cocoon cardigan. I’ll share details and a link to the free pattern when I’m not on my phone. Very pleased with the result. I even wove my ends in properly.

The body is done. It is a very warm squishy blankie tonight. Tomorrow it becomes the cardigan I want. Ready to be done with this particular #crochet piece. 🧶

75cm. Keep that number for me, my friends. This #crochet cardigan is eating my yarn.

Some nights I need to be kicked out of the house for my own good. So I’m sitting in a local restaurant with a cocktail and my knitting. It could be worse. The only downside is this place is getting rapidly busy

Top to bottom table with empty-ish plate, cocktail, plate with deep fried prawn dumplings and then my knitting in my lap.

Today there are only three of us up here. So today I sit quietly and knit before there are others who want me to be social. #knitting #outdoorknitting

Timeline cleanse. Quote realest a pet, plant, calm landscape, anything photo you took or art you did that makes you happy. One of the infinity rooms at Yayoi Kasuma Retrospective held at the NGV in Naarm. I went with my little one and it enthralled her. Such a lovely day.

I literally don’t know how to describe this. Uhm a too full of large silver mirror balls with little drilled out points of light reflected in each other and the walls of the infinity room. It’s weirdly peaceful.
