It’s beautiful! I prefer a slim, pointy tip because I use a finger-snapping motion to flick my supported spindle, but that’s just a personal preference. Yours would work just as well with a hitch and a different spinning motion. The heft is fine - every spindle gets heavier as you wind yarn on.

I ran out of white singles before I finished plying all of the red tweed yarn. Now I’m on the spinning equivalent of sleeve island, lol!

It’s beautiful! You’re doing great. I haven’t set mine up yet, tho I did prep a big practice braid and clear space on the coffee table tonight so I can try it out tomorrow. For now I’m spindling more plain white merino.

This is my traveling stool. It’s rated to 300lbs, 2” thick when folded, and weighs almost nothing, for packing in suitcases. Though it would also be great for use in small spaces without much storage room. I’m 4’11”. I absolutely will need it every time I travel!

Still recovering from travel, but my @oishinythings.bsky.social necklace went with me to Rockland, Maine for the 78th Annual Lobster Festival! mainelobsterfestival.com

Tree crew is moving on to the stand by the road now. They don’t expect to block access, and think they’ll be done by around 2:30. Best part of using the same co for 10+ years? They say they love working in my forest bc it’s fun. ❤️❤️❤️

My forest 😍😍😍 Not an area we’re working on today, but we’ve done this part in the past. That cedar on the front left edge is about 7 feet from the back wall of the house. I call it Grandmother Cedar (Grandpa Cedar is in the front).

I do leave it alone forest management. We only take out dangerous (to buildings/people) trees, leave habitat stumps, and let the debris stay to build soil as much as possible. We have a LOT of fauna living in our forest - just yesterday had deer foraging in the front yard and last year got to watch a family of barred owls grow up in one of the habitat stumps out back!

Orphaned socks make excellent yarn bags! This one is for my traveling socks, an ongoing project that lives in my backpack and gets a lot of rough handling. Nobody likes untangling yarn. (This sock is a dimensional traveler. No one in this house had this pair and we don’t go to laundromats! 👀)

Electric done, tree removal in progress! Little bit of vehicle shuffling needed but that was expected and no big deal.

Yesterday I took donations to a local thrift shop and looked for art supplies. I found this adorable set - a supplies box/easel THAT I CAN COLOR. 😍 I’ll seal it before it gets used forever. Scored some perfect organizing bins to impose order on fiber/yarn chaos too! #art #artsupplies #thrift

A nice big wooden art supplies box/easel, covered in line art cute cartoons. Birds, flowers, fruit, all kinds ready to be colored in!

Inside the box are sketch pads, crayons, markers, colored pencils, and other art supplies.

My in-laws are in Kerrville. They’re fine, but the trailer park behind their house (double wide trailer) is completely gone. We were planning a trip to visit and renting a cabin in that park.

View through the backyard fence at my in-laws’ place. Where a trailer park used to be, there is only brown water and downed trees.

I did some DIY on the keychain @irisflorafawn.bsky.social sent with my bracelet! It was too pretty to just be a zipper pull on my knitting project bag. Now I have matching earrings and a cool addition that I can wear with all sorts of other Pride jewelry in my collection! 😍🤩😎

Bonus keychain came with my custom bracelet! Custom Bi Pride dangles with semiprecious round beads and silver findings and rainbow heart dangle. Shown with maker’s business card and starry moon tulle packaging

I turned the dangles into matching earrings with my very modest jewelry skills and small cache of findings.

Heart dangle added to rainbow studs for an asymmetrical earrings look!

The dangle just slips over the post, so I can use it with other studs or wear it as a pendant, etc.

One of my watercolor instruction books! Details in alt text.

Book titled Watercolor for the artistically undiscovered by Thacher Hurd and John Cassidy. It includes both glossy instructions pages and watercolor paper pages so you can do the lessons and experiments.

I thrifted mine so some of the early pages are partially used. I don’t mind! I can still use them for pen and ink detail and other practice and I’ve got a separate watercolor paper pad.

Acrylic, by me, ~2015. A mashup of Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Nightmare Before Christmas. Paint and Sip class with friends. I was at the back of the room and saw the moon and stars as smeared orbs rather than the dashed technique of Van Gogh. I love it so much.

I usually have several plain socks for donations being knitted. One on the couch, one in my daily carry bag, etc. I can never remember what sizes (number of stitches) they are from the first to the second. So I made stitch markers in the usual sizes! Got the number beads but had everything else 🧶🧦

Oh that’s awesome! I’m a very baby hand sewer/quilter right now. Challah cover from scraps batted with an old cotton towel

An image of one of my most personally meaningful tattoos.

A white woman’s left hand and wrist against a purple background, displaying a tattoo that reads, in Hebrew characters, “Am Yisrael Chai.” A red string bracelet is on her wrist.

The phrase translates as “ The people of Israel live.” It is a cultural slogan of resilience and resistance.

My favorite purchase this year is Skellie from Acorn Street! In a kit with hat, scarf, yarn, and two sweater patterns for him - one matches their human LYS Tour sweater pattern. 😍

Then there’s this. The most basic function for a convention, selling registrations, isn’t accessible BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION. They offer only a website@ address for problems, not a phone number to register with an actual person. Maybe email your best guess at what info for registration and hope?
