I went to my #weaving study group yesterday and we talked about the difference between #lace weaves and other weaving techniques. Then I went to my best friend’s place and tried to talk about the same thing. Get #textile friends. #pacifictextilearts #wssg 🧶 #fiberarts #textileart

Out with the old! I’m replacing these uneven treadle tie ups with shiny new pegs and texolv cords. I’m very excited to weave with a clean shed! #loommaintenance #weaving #textiles #woolwillsavetheworld #loom #floorloom

Settled on a honeycomb pattern in natural brown cotton with white cotton and acid dyed cotton accents. Maybe it’ll be a dish towel? It’s amazing what you get when only change one element of the set up. #weaving #textileart #pacifictextilearts

Learning to understand weaving drafts… threading, tie up, lift sequence… all things I really never thought about because Simple Twill is simple twill, but omg there are so many things at play!!! #weaving #textilearts 🧶

Long ago I taught myself how to knit backwards because I hated turning my knitting over when doing sock heels. I haven’t made any socks in a very long time, but it came in handy this week when I tried a new repair technique on my dad’s old ski sweater #Textile #Wool #Knitted #Hand #Art #mending 🧶

The machine I will miss the most from my mill job is the pin drafter. Pindrafted roving is my very most favorite preparation to hand spin from, but as far as I know, you can’t make it at home. I have all these little bundles I dyed recently that I’d love to pin draft together… #wool #yarn #handspun

There is someone about hand spinning the really fascinates me. The combination of fibers, the blend of colors… hypnotic #wool #handspunyarn #dropspindle @knitty.com 🧶 #yarn

Older people seem to have no idea of what losing TikTok will do to a lot of people. It’s probably a good thing it’s gone for all those doom scrolling teens, but thousands of businesses and families will be negatively affected.

I’m nervous about my Elizabeth Zimmerman surprise jacket sizing. It looks like it’s going to be waaaaay too big, but that’s ok. 🧶

Literally this goes for all tutorials. I really don’t want to watch a 20 minute video about jump starting a car. Just tell me which color to attach first!
PSA: If I’m looking up how to beat a boss, just type it out. I don’t need to see a whole ass video. I don’t need to hear your dry ass mouth smacking as I try and place where your accent is from. I’m trying to beat the Lord of Flame. I got a lot going on right now.

For the last week, @kenbensinger.bsky.social and I have been in Altadena, to report on the devastation. But we kept coming back to an Arco gas station, which a group of locals have turned into a beacon of hope with tacos, clothes and community. This is their story: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/u...
Tacos, Water and ‘Homies’: A Gas Station Becomes a Uniquely L.A. Relief Site
Out of desperation and a need for social bonding, volunteers have banded together to help Altadena residents.

In an effort to remind myself that I do, in fact, know what I’m talking about, I’ve started re-reading a lot of older weaving books. This one is on tapestry in preparation for teaching children how to make potholders on cardboard looms. Check me out on patreon. #woolwillsavetheworld #textilearts
