Alt text: overhead shot of a desk, with a blue/white marbled desk mat, a small white keyboard with transparent blue and purple keycaps, and my sweater-clad arm resting on the desk. The sweater sleeve is handspun and handknit in marled stripes of varying blues and purples, with a gray cuff. Matchy!

Okay, well today I learned that Bluesky lacks the feature to add alt text after posting, so I'll add it in a comment.

Hi, yes. I usually do, but I forget sometimes. I'll add it after I post this comment. 💜

I was recalling fondly how the internet used to scream when you turned it on and that might have been a warning.

🍂 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'm getting back into content creation over on Twitch, and my Substack has suffered a little, but things are falling into place. I still struggle with thinking every written post has to be a masterpiece, and that's just not how any of this works. Striking a balance is where it's at. 🤝

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.

It's technically an eight-shaft twill, but with the treadling I plan to use it shows up more like tabby with some interesting vertical lines in it. Strickler #22

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. 💜🧡🩷✨

When you’re in the middle of change, it feels like you don’t know where you’re going. Job hunting has always been soul crushing, but this time I'm taking it on as more of a soul searching activity. It still feels like shouting into the void, but now I'm holding out for the right shout back. 🌿

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.

Isn't it lovely? It's Lana Grossa Pappagallo, but it's basically a slightly thinner duplicate for Berroco Wizard. There are a few chainette yarns out there like it. Very soft and lofty!

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

Thanks! It does have quite a bit of stretch. I wove with this yarn's cousin (Berroco Wizard) a while back on my rigid heddle loom, and I think as long as I'm gentle with it I'll be fine. It made the softest, squishiest scarf. 😊

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.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
