Huxley, there is a wide open door ten feet behind you that you just walked through to get there. If you want out, it is entirely within your power

This photo from the Kaiju Mating Habits panel at Dragon Con 2024 was just unearthed on a @dragoncon.org Discord server, and now I'm even more excited for this year. Paneling with all of the brilliant weirdos on @dconscitrack.bsky.social is truly a highlight of every year for me.

Spin 2 for #tourdefleece is the second batt of this Melly Knits spin! I spun the first bobbin in December before the RSI in my hands got bad and forced me to take a spinning break

#tourdefleece Day 2! Finished bobbins 2 and 3. Now I need to use all of my patience and self control to give my hands and the bobbins a rest instead of immediately plying them
Three spinning bobbins, each with an equal amount of handspun singles. All three are a rainbow of jewel tones from dark red through deep purple

This will be my #tourdefleece26 thread, so mute if you don’t want spinning rambling this month! This is bobbin 1 for a traditional 3-ply of Moon Joy from @fossilfibers.bsky.social ‘s beautiful Artemis TdF kit. This has been an absolute joy to spin!
An espinner with a gradient singles yarn spun in it, the yarn starts at dark red and goes through the rainbow to end at a deep purple.

Most people don’t know this, but when your bobbin starts to bulge like this, it’s a sign that the battery is destabilizing. You need to immediately replace it and safely dispose of the bobbin according to local regulations #tourdefleece #handspinning

I made yarn this week! Well, I plied a bunch of singles I’ve had sitting around (the left two skeins) and did a little longdraw experiment for the right one.
Three skeins of handspun yarn. 1 is a laceweight made of a ply of brown polworth and a ply of variegated teals and browns. The middle is a tonal red fingering, and the third is an uneven fluffy green of variable weight

I treated my Featherweight to a spa day and a new foot peddle and now I love her. Next she gets a new drip pad and drive band, but those are still on their way to me. In general, I prefer modern machines, but sewing through heavier material is a place where antique machines shine

Btw, it can be done! But the blue strip is very, very susceptible to heat and pressure removing the pattern. (I’m making progress on figuring out how to make Starfleet Academy cadet cosplay!) #cosplaymaker
