Well, that was unintentional, but I'm not mad about it. 💜💙

🍂 Just in time for September. I have a feeling this one's going to be knit or crocheted...and it's all going to fit on this bobbin, mark my words. #handspun #fiberarts

I've posted here (and IG, and tumblr) only a handful of times since May. I've been making! All the time! Maybe I'll put together a catch-up post to show what I've been up to this summer. Until then, enjoy the most autumn of bobbins. 🍂 #handspun #fiberarts

Spending some quality time with my pin loom today. It's a slow craft, but a nice focus activity. I bought this for bias weaving, but I've really fallen in love with three-layer weaving as well! #pinloom #weaving #fiberarts

A Noro Rikka warp 😱 in a reed that's too dense for it 😱 (oh my)! The past few days have been about experiments and breaking rules. The rules are often there for very good reasons, but sometimes you have to find out for yourself and decide if they're worth breaking from time to time. #weaving

Grandma hobbies??? Anyway, this yarn color is called If I Wanted Exposure, I'd Get My Tits Out. The other one is called Marine Diesel. Also, I know some sick-ass grandmas. Get your head right. #weaving #titsoutcollective #fiberarts

Extremely bright hot pink yarn (weft) on a multicolor hand-dyed warp (pink, white, yellow, orange, purple bits...). A darning needle sits atop a bit of weaving, and a boat shuttle rests on the warp in the background. The next photos are the same from different angles.

I certainly hope so! I'm using some more deep stash for the weft. 🩷

This yarn by @kralalien.bsky.social is so much fun. I can't wait to see how it turns out. 💜🧡🩷✨

I'm not quite done sharing these lovely Lincoln locks I picked up during a trip to Kentucky last year. The shop intended them for felting, but look! 🥹

A hand holds a lock of Lincoln longwool, showcasing the varied natural colors of the fleece. The wool has a deep U-shaped crimp and is quite lustrous.

A black and green striped cross-arm spindle with maple shaft sits atop a wooden work table. A small amount of gray-brown wool has been spun onto it, and a lock of the wool sits to the side.

It's been raining in Las Vegas for the better part of two days, and the cozy vibes are immaculate. I know it won't last, but I'm enjoying it while it's here and setting up my next scarf on the loom. 😌

On Monday, I took my trusty (and lightweight) Woolmakers Bliss out to the park for a #spinning date! Finished these singles that I'd been meaning to get around to, listened to the birds, and chatted with some kind folks who stopped for questions/compliments. 10/10 experience really. #handspun

Who says you can't use big, squishy yarns on a floor loom? I have a 6-dent reed. Watch me. 👀 #weaving #fiberarts #yarn

Two large balls of soft chainette yarn, varying between shades of blue, teal, and brown. An iridescent purple pair of scissors sits in front of the yarn, while a bright green, leafy pothos plant trails behind.

Crafturday with a naked espinner in tow meant it was time to start a new spin! 🧶 #wool #spinning #handspinning #espinner #woolgatherings

This warp just won't end, but on the bright side I had four bobbins of leftover green yarn to use up. Also modified the treadling because why not? 🧶 #weaving #stashbuster #overshot

This mini sat in my stash for *years* because I wasn't sure what to do with the wild variegation back when I only knit. The other thing I've done with it is a little practice inkle band. ☺️

What a fun fabric! I have a little triangular pencil bag that I think would look great made out of this. 🌈🧶 #weaving #overshot #colorful

This might be the most satisfying bobbin I've ever wound. 🌈🧶

Baby's first overshot is going well, *except* the tension on this handspun alpaca warp is absolutely atrocious. I'm not sure yet what happened to it, but I'll keep weaving until I can't anymore or until something snaps. 😅😬 #weaving🧶

Pink and white overshot weaving project on a loom. Two shuttles, each holding a bobbin of one color, lay across the cloth.

Hey! I'm Liz, and I make things. 👋 I'm currently working on my first overshot weaving project, a simple crochet shawl, some handspun yarn, and learning to sew with handwoven fabric. ...do we use hashtags here? #weaving #crochet #spinning

Weaving project in progress. White warp (background) with pink variegated weft (foreground) making a geometric design on the fabric.

A hand holds a green variegated crocheted piece with a black stripe across it. Crochet hook is visible on top of the project.
