Finished belt bag. I first made it with a belt buckle, but it turned out not to work with a thin fabric belt - the prong would slide out and the straps open. I swapped it for a side release buckle. 🧶

Behold 1,600-Year-Old Egyptian Socks Made with Nålbindning, an Ancient Proto-Knitting Technique
We have, above, a pair of socks. You can tell that much by looking at them, of course, but what's less obvious at a glance is their age: this pair dates back to 250-420 AD, and were excavated in Egypt...

Matching larger needle book with more rigid covers (I put little plastic sheets between the layers) and thicker pages. I'm giving both to mom, figure she can use the smaller one for travel sewing kit 🧶

Needle book. The magnetic closure can also be used as a needle rest since it keeps the needle sitting securely. Recycling magnets from junk and fabric from old clothes for this :) 🧶

thereifixedit When I realised that the reinforcing stitches around bra clasps look like little embroidered flowers, I started intentionally making them in contrasting colours :) 🧵🧶

Long winter stockings made out of wide elastic lace and discount thermo tights (that were too short for me) which I cut horizontally just below the crotch level and sewed the lace on the severed leg pieces.

I love when an idea works out. I wanted to make a candy cane icord. I couldn't find a video on how to make a striped icord, but it was really easy. The 2nd photo shows the back, for each row you pick up the strands underneath the last color, making sure keep it under the top yarn. 🧶

thereifixedit The old skirt was worn out where the fabric folds over at the edge of the waistband and started fraying, so I ran a zigzag seam around the edge. Didn't waste effort to make it more presentable as the skirt will soon need patching anyway.

I think it’s gong to work! Super hopeful gay pride crochet!! This is the last blocking before I finish & put it on the frame. I’m thinking I’ll add 2 more rounds and likely bead the edge so it drops down over the frame arms like a 70s lamp. Then I should write down what I did so I can do it again.
A crochet mandala art doily is spread flat and pinned for blocking on a navy blue comforter.  The doily is a gay pride flag rainbow with purple at the center fading thru all the ROYGBIV colors to red at the edge.

Fingerless gloves (or I guess I should call these short-fingered gloves) Majorly won yarn chicken with these, was left with less than 30 cm yarn after I fixed a hole that had appeared in the palm of one glove #craftsky 🧶

Band heddle and matching shuttle, made using drills, carving knives, saw, and sandpaper. The heddle is pretty nice for a first try I think (I've made shuttles before). The shuttle has one sharpened long side so it can be used as a beater. #craftsky

Basically there is a technique where you can take a variegated yarn where the colors come in a particular repeating pattern, and turn it into an argyle type pattern without changing yarns. It should look something like this if I do it correctly.

Precise, defined imagery does not exist in the human mind. It only comes to exist outside, in the material world; the classic notion of the artist always being disappointed with their own work isn't based in an inability to externalize a precise internal vision.
