Spinning cotton on a tiny cross armed spindle, but I need a bit more practice before I can use it for tatting.

A while ago I took on a chain plying assignment.
To say this got me to practice chain plying, and get my plying abilities back on track would be an understatement.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open. We have less than 700 responses to go until we hit 40,000, and 7 days left.

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary, and it takes ~5 mins.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

The Wytsingdays is a small free viking living history event, and I’ll be participating!

I’ll be showing how to spin with a spindle and distaff, with a few extra’s.
