Sometimes you knit something that needs blocking, but isn't flat. This is a tam or beret (with the famous 3-hares pattern where each hare has 2 ears, but there are only 3 ears in total). In the end I blocked it on a saucepan. 🧶🐇🐇🐇 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
Knitted beret with a pattern of 3 hares running clockwise round the brim. Each hare shares its ears with the other 2 hares, so each hare has 2 ears but there are only 3 ears in total.

Filigree 'Cranky Science Witch' @filigreemchana.bsky.social · 17h
One of the things I'm building this weekend: a 2x2x2" miniature fabric book, embroidered in shades of cream and green. Will be strung as a necklace on needlepoint straps with jade, bone, glass, amazonite, and green aventurine beads. Mimics a Renaissance missal: theme of Resistance.
Twenty roughly one-and-a-half-inch images appliqued and embroidered onto cream linen. Each horizontal pair is a page: left side is an English letter, right is a geometric design. Letters spell 'resistance'. The green and cream patterns are a visual meditative aide for introspection and resolve. 

Unfinished: the letter grids and the brown Crayola ink still have to be washed out, the fabric blocked to right angles, then pages cut apart and sewn together.

Purely a portfolio piece, nobody is going to pay $600-800 for this even if I put 14K gold beads on it.

Finished, it will be a little moment of fragile but fierce joy.

This striking pre-Columbian greenstone masterwork depicts an Olmec shaman in mid-transformation, adopting the powerful facial features of a sacred were-jaguar. Originating from archaeological sites in the Gulf Coast region of Veracruz state, it was crafted between 900 BCE and 600 BCE.

Finished up the herding hens socks. Just need to spend the next few weeks weaving in ends. And I’m trying out color combos for a shawl. #knitsky
A pair of hand knit socks with hens on a dark grey background. The start of a hand knit shawl. The main color is pink. I’m trying out grey, cream and lilac.

The gradient squares continue. (Using Cottage Garden Threads gradient packs for these with a DMC white.)
A photo of a work in progress cross stitch depicting 3 vertical rows of gradient squares (some unfinished) with one row in green and another in blue. There is a horizontal band with the same colours along the bottom. It looks modern and symmetrical despite the different colours.

ahhhh someone just put their aunt on blast on the tarot subreddit because their aunt made this *stunning* crossstitch deck but the OP was like "lol no there's no way my aunt Starla has her shit together enough to do anything this cool" and when I tell you I am now RIDE OR DIE for aunt Starla
The Butterfly Wisdom tarot by Starla Yilmaz, featuring 78 different colorful species of butterfly, one per card, done in the pip system with a white background and black outlining for the images, and presented as a glorious single framed crossstitch pattern. It is hanging in a wall with a Best in Category prize ribbon (for Needle Arts from the Georgia National Fair) stuck to the top right of the frame.

Around Wall Street or portrait of Pablo in NY www.wikiart.org/en/leonora-carringt…
In "Around Wall Street or Portrait of Pablo in NY," surrealist painter Leonora Carrington blends whimsical dogs, mysterious figures, and complex architecture to evoke a dreamlike vision of New York. Rich with imaginative symbolism, the artwork captures Carrington's signature style of enigmatic narrative and fantastical imagery.

Happy Autumn
It's Prince, wearing a huge chonky oversize black sweater with a big turtleneck, a long pendant with his symbol, his hair poofer and glasses down the bridge of his nose. He's looking at you in the classic "hey babe" Prince way. He's standing in a driveway in front of his purple Plymouth Prowler. There's a small cottage in the background and the leaves of the trees are a glorious gold and cover the entire image.
