None of the crochet I’ve been doing lately involved working from a starting chain, and I forgot how annoying it is when I started this poncho 🧶
Soon be be poncho, currently a mess of long starting chain with some double crochets started (dark blue yarn on a rainbow striped bag)

I have some knitting to do, but it feels more like a weaving or a spinning day. Can’t decide which though…

hi to all my crochet friends on here 🥹 I have a tester call up on my instagram for my first pattern and I don’t have many followers so it’s hard to get word out, but if anyone is interested in testing here is the post and link :) www.instagram.com/reel/DKP5lxN...

Spinning progress- while I can and have fit an entire braid on a spindle, I remembered that I really didn’t want to do that. So! Continuing on my wheel and I’ll make a chain ply ball later

Spinning Sunday! Working on the skittles fiber, and managed to get a decent amount done this week, I’m into the second turtle 🧶

Finally done, I’ve had a spindle sized piece of fluff for what feels like forever, but finally finished it off today

Today has very much been a #weaving day. Put my SampleIt loom together, got it warped and started weaving. Worked with my band weaving kit this morning after getting the warp ready last night. The key to both is going to be figuring out a comfortable spot to do it, I think.
A small section of woven band in light blue and silver with a small stripe of dark blue.  The heddle and shuttle are also visible along with the bright red stoorstalka band lockA rigid hettle loom about the same width of the couch it’s sitting on, warped with white boucle yarn, the weft is the same.  There’s about four or five inches of weaving done (I was weaving at the table, not there)

An hour’s worth of #weaving or roughly two episodes of Night Vale

Friday night’s project is weaving with sticks, getting me in the mood for my package arriving Monday 😁😁😁
Six sticks that sort of resemble dpns, except only one end is pointed and the other is flat and has holes for the warp yarn that’s attached at the bottom.  There’s a couple inches of weft on the sticks, both the warp and weft is white

Because they’ve been invaluable to me as a #beginnerknitter, I want to pass these onto greater #knitsky after someone shared them with me. Two links for you: a gathering of links for techniques, tutorials and tips, and then a listing of many, many types of #sock heels. 🧵 #australian #craft 🧶

#wipwednesday features a lot of knitting 🧶 and a little spinning
Travel socks, mostly vanilla white socks with blue, green and gray speckles with a small gray and blue stripe separating sections Very light yellow, maybe cream wool singles on a top whorl gear spindle- the Celtic one, but you can’t see the top from that angle The eye cowl, there’s five rows of offset eyes in red and oranges, on a black background Purple and blue socks on the same set of DPNs, the blue one inside the purple, the cuffs, legs, and heels are done, the legs are maybe an inch or two

#showmeyourknits this week is socks, I post a lot of them here already, so here’s a few I haven’t. The gray ones are the first socks I made and the teal ones are the first ones I did with sock yarn, both around 2012. The second two I did around 2019/2020
Side view of a short gray sock, it is very sock shaped but the fit was never quite right A teal ribbed sock in a probably overly tight gauge, I still have one of the socks but I accidentally shrank itPurple cabled socksBlue and gray cabled socks, less densely cabled than the purple pair, I think sitting on blue tweed socks.  The coffee table is just permanently cluttered judging by my pictures

I feel a lot more confident with the double knitting now, so I frogged back a bit and redid the first part in ribbing, I’m super excited with how this is going! 🧶
Two socks in progress double knit on the same needle, there’s about a half inch of ribbing on both, one purple and one blue. The blue half has been pulled up to show how it separates The same knitting, with the blue pushed back inside, showing how it looks as I knit.

Now that the dishcloths are done, we’re back to our regularly scheduled travel socks, aka I need one knitting project that doesn’t require my brain 🧶

I immediately messed something up! No idea what, I redid the cast on this morning and got a whole needle finished and it does look like two separate pieces of fabric this time For the sake of my brain, these are going to have a rolled cuff, I am not ready to try ribbing like this
Two socks on the same double pointed needles, one blue and one purple.  One set of needles has the first row on it and as far as I can see they’re two separate pieces

I read about this technique a long time ago, and for this month’s socks I’m going to try it. Wish me luck, I’m gonna need it #knitting 🧶 knitty.com/ISSUEfall06/...
The start of two at a time socks on one set of double pointed needles.  One set of stitches is blue, one is purple.  This is deeply unnecessary but we’re doing it anyway

I want to keep knitting on this but I also fell asleep holding it for at least 20 minutes so I’m going back to the dishcloth for a bit- at least that one I can do in my sleep 🧶

The sum of today’s crafting: almost done knitting the 15th dishcloth, got some spinning progress and a few rows of the cowl done (someday I’ll figure out a better background than my lap or the couch arm) 🧶
Top: blue/mint green/silver/white striped dishcloth, nearly done.  Bottom right: cross arm spindle with taste the rainbow fiber that’s coming out as a very colorful tweed, it’s getting pretty full.  Bottom left: one ring cowl in black, oranges and red but it’s too short to see anything but the floats and the ton of stitch markers in it right now

I’ve also been wandering around with some spinning today when I needed to move and rounded up spinning projects to see where I’m at until it is yarn. First up is the skittles, which had a ways to go, that’s okay, it’s more of a long term project
