Finished another spindle in my Jenkins Rainbow along. Teal is finished on my Mopane Finch. Now I'm going to circle around and spin the yellow and green. I had spun these colors previously, but sadly lost the spindles. Next up is Yellow on a Kingwood Finch.

This tablet weaving project has been quite the challenge but it has brought me so much joy! This is the finest thread I’ve woven with to date and getting the gradient just right across the warp added an extra layer of difficulty, but well worth it!

I’ve had this project in mind from the moment I got my hands on the Penelope band loom. These are my very first handwoven shoelaces! They are a perfect match with my Allbirds.

I always love to learn how to do new things. Tablet weaving has been on my to learn list for several years. With the development of Penelope, I’m ready to dive in and explore this new to me craft.

Sweater progress is going well! I’ve reached the point where I will be sectioning off the arms and starting in on the body with the gradient. I’m so excited to see how the gradient develops.

My second sweater is well on its way! I’m feeling a lot more confident this go around. I’m thankful for all my tools that help make projects like this go smoother and add an extra flair of fun.

I’ve been prepping for my next sweater project out of this gorgeousness from @thebluebrickish. With all the yarn all balled up with the Daedalus Roly-Poly, the next step was to swatch. 🧶

I’m ready to start my next sweater! This is Oregon Falls dyed by @thebluebrick.bsky.social on Huron MCN Sock base. I’m planning another Tin Can Knits Flax Sweater. Love the way the @daedalusspinners.bsky.social Roly-Poly winds yarn. 🧶

Sunflower Fields spun on Mixy Spindles. I love how fast these spindles spin. When the fiber arrived I knew I had to order a few more Mixy Spindle whorls to coordinate with the spin. 🧶

I’ve reached the middle of the braid on Midnight Hour. I love these dark blue tones. This spin is destined to go onto my loom someday. 🧶

More progress on Midnight Hour by Fossil Fibers. I am loving the depths of greens, teals, and blues in this braid. This spin is destined to go onto my loom someday.

The beginnings of the second braid of the Midnight Hour gradient set. I can't wait to share all the green/blue sections. Fossil Fibers has such an eye for those beautiful blues and greens.

The last color in the first braid of Midnight Hour is done! I started on the second braid during the Daedalus Saturday Night Zoom and loved every minute! I had a blast tonight hanging out with folks on Zoom.

The next color up in this Midnight Hour braid set by @fossilfibers.bsky.social is shades of cranberry. The last color for this braid is orange. I’m eager to dig into the next braid as it has some extremely gorgeous greens and teals in it.

Finished up spinning the Plum section of Midnight Hour by @fossilfibers.bsky.social on my @daedalusspinners.bsky.social Magpie. Now onto the Cranberry!

Currently spinning Midnight Hour by @fossilfibers.bsky.social on my @daedalusspinners.bsky.social Magpie V2. I love the way you can see the colors shift in the spin throughout the Magpie’s long bobbins. The color will be shifting towards plum next! 🧶

This is the very first yarn I’ve purchased from @thebluebrick.bsky.social and looking forward to getting more in the future. I already have a gradient sweater kit from her in the works. 🧶
February 7, 2025 at 5:41 AM
@thebluebrick.bsky.social did such an amazing job making colorways based on these buggies and the fact that that each sock set is two skeins plus one solid for heels and toes is perfection. 🧶
February 7, 2025 at 5:41 AM
OH MY SQUEEE!!! I’ve been waiting for this yarn ever since @thebluebrick.bsky.social told me she was doing a bug themed sock box. It was so worth the wait! Rosa Latte the spider, helped me unbox… told her it was a box full of bug yarn… NO Rosa it’s not bugs to eat… 🧶
