Aside from woodworking, I took another detour away from sweater knitting to crochet a hat for Pride! Yarn and pattern info in alt.

Woodworking is no joke - this was the most physically demanding workshop I've taken by a mile! But I suppose that makes the end result that much more gratifying. Class was "Designing a 3 Legged Stool" with Charles Thompson at Arrowmont

#arrowmont #greenwoodworking #crafts
Seated at a shaving horse and surrounded by piles of curly wood shavings - a naturally curved piece of white oak is clamped into the horse and has been shaved smooth with a draw knife. 7 sets of white oak stool legs poke out of the top of a wood kiln so that the tenons - the end of the leg which will be joined into the seat, can dry. Most of the legs are wrapped in tin foil, so that the exposed wood just outside the kiln does not dry too quickly. A circular stool sear made of poplar, shaped, and worked smooth A fully assembled 3-legged stool. It is roughly 20 inches tall. Each leg features a hand carved knee and calf to resemble a human leg. Curved rungs connect the three legs in a T shape.

Arrowwood viburnum, I think - never could see it until we ripped all the Amur honeysuckle out of our tree line

And just like that, one sleeve has become two! And they look mostly the same! Really quite proud of myself for taking on a Big Project and making consistent progress 👏

I'm new to knitting, so when everyone was talking about LYS week in #showmeyourknits - I thought they meant Love Your Self

Yarn purchases ARE a great way to show yourself, and local yarn stores, some love! Here's some yarn from cool af Ohio indie dyer @dyemadyarns.bsky.social

#knitting 🧶
Two skeins of hand-dyed yarn. One is called "Watermelon Radish" and is a vibrant pink, green and white variegated yarn with dark pink flecks. The other is called "Bunching Green Onion" and is a spring green to white gradient with flecks of deep brown. Between them is a set of "Weird Ohio" stitch markers: a corn cob, the Hell is Real sign, the Longaberger Basket building, Grandpa's Cheese Barn and Big Butter Jesus (God rest His soul)

One Row arrangement done with snapdragon, lisianthus, and sprengeri in this month's Saturday Ohara study group.

Pink snapdragons tower over a spray of white and pink lisianthus. Greenery hugs the edge of a black, oval shaped ceramic container that holds the arrangement. The one-row arrangement in Ohara Ikebana is linear and emphasizes the beauty of tall, upright flowers.

A small stack of journals in Suzi Banks Baum's "One Book, Many Papers" workshop at Arrowmont this weekend. This was my first foray into bookbinding, and it is so satisfying to create such a useful and personal object.
