Another Scrappy sock bundle done! 🤩😍

I am completely addicted to spinning these scrappy sock bundles!! I love the yarn they make and the surprise of what is coming next! This is only my second bag. I have two more in hand and ordered two more.

Finished this and I’m thrilled with it

This is Fernwood by Alicia Plummer. I knitted it holding Juniper Moon Farm Zooey double.

This picture was created entirely from wool. Instead of traditional felting, I cut and carefully arranged small pieces of wool to create the composition, letting the natural texture of the fibers become part of the painting. The finished piece is protected beneath clear acrylic glass.

I thought I’d show some of my work case anyone needs any inspiration :)

Second ever spin!

It's been a minute, but it's me with the silk moths, back to show my progress. I got too excited to use my silk thread to show a picture of the first spin, but it was very uneven anyway. 😅. I really loved how the unevenness of the thread looks in the stitches though. I'm going for a very organic look for this fun experiment, so I'm embracing the imperfections.

I spent more time drafting my silk for the second spin today, so this thread looks more uniform than the last batch.

[CHAT] Trying to find trustworthy etsy shops

Hi

I just got a voucher for Etsy but I dont know what shops are trustworthy on Etsy anymore.

So I am looking for Etsy shops that do cross stitch kits that people would recommend.

I am a beginner in the terms I have nothing and just decided to try this craft as I always wanted to and figure a kit would be a perfect start and got this voucher.

I am in the EU

Help with uneven knitting row (knit in the round)

Hi! I'm a relatively new knitter. I've mostly done flat scarves although I've now made two hats and started a 3rd.

All of my hats have the same problem. The very first row is always uneven or has like a little...ploop? sticking out. (See photos) I'm doing a long tail cast on for this pattern: https://www.purlsoho.com/create/2023/09/24/classic-ribbed-hat-in-new-colors-styles/

It's a 1x1 rib.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong? I even made a mini hat on DPNs that's NOT uneven but you can tell where the round joins together.

Thoughts?

Bog Creatures

Swamp Lily and Scallion are needle felted soft sculptures made with Himalayan wool and dyed with collected plant materials (Marigold and Eucalyptus) and Sappanwood extract. Their eyes are glass.

Even tho I made them together, I really wanted them to look like siblings not twins but it’s clear Swamp Lily got the looks in the family.

Finished Dragon scale bolero

Finished my current WIP. My god is this heavy. But I love it so much. Dragon scale bolero. Ate up 9 100g skeins of King Cole Firebug yarn. Good job this was a passion project as it wrecked my hands. Though im so pleased with it.

I don't think ill be making another one any time soon.
