What a yarn! Journalists are turning to #crochet to tell data stories
“I’m really interested in these beautiful, touchable representations of data that use texture to encode information in a way that our screens cannot reproduce.”
Got a tin of chocolates for Xmas. They were delicious. As the old tin I used for some of my knitting notions had finally died, I transferred everything into the new one.
No matter how many times my grandkiddies come, they still have to check in case miraculously the tin contains chocolate again.😅 😜
I definitely need to sort out my yarn.
I have yarn in baskets, in cupboards, and alongside my chair.
The two baskets alongside my chair are my 'working' (...er, um...lol) ones, they're holding the current WIPs that I pick up regularly.
The cupboards hold my main stash and patterns, needles, etc...
Then there are the hand-dyed yarn clubs I belong to that mean I get more each month.
Of course - collecting yarn and using yarn are two different hobbies 😂 😅 😜
Okay...so...TECHNICALLY this was finished while it was still MY Friday, so I'm posting it today. #PraiseHim#PrayerCloth is cross stitched on the front panel. Outlines that would normally be #Backstitch are #CrossQuilted to make the project double-sided. I should be able to finish the second copy tonight. After that, I'll be correcting errors and posting the proofed pattern to Ko-Fi. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll tell you when free digital & paid printable versions are available.
@fibrearts@crochet As promised, here are some photos of my current WIP. I’m working on a crocheted top called Spiderdream. It’s an asymmetrical construction so I’ve done one sleeve and shoulder and am working across the body to the second shoulder. The yarn is from a 2023 advent calendar. #crochet#fibrearts#nightshift#garmentconstruction

I finished my sweater the other day. I had several odd 100g of fibre and wondered what I could do with them. This seemed like a good solution. I just need to weave in the ends 😂 #knitting#fibrearts
@terri Here are some shots from last year's Romi Hill MKAL, #Falderal. It was a blast to knit and I learned so much! Still have to block it, will post when I do. 😊
🧶 It's done! Yarn re-skeined on swift from ball I wound months ago, washed in Eucalan, dried thoroughly (it fluffed up, so nice!), re-wound just now into a ball.
@fibrearts@spinning I’m spinning during this set of nights. This is “Purple Teepee” by John Arbon. 50% merino and 50% Jacob. This was from their special last year and I’ve got 600g to spin up. #spinning#yarn#fibrearts#handspun
Frogging (tinking) it!
Got side track when I started these socks. Made up the pattern as I went but didn't bother writing it down.
Picked it up again a few months later and a) can't remember what row I'm up to, b) what the hell I did, and c) I no longer like the design...lol.
Normally I scribble something out & leave it with the project, this time I didn't. 😜
