The pattern in free from Rauma garn (in Norwegian)

What better for a rainy Friday (here at least!) than a spectacular gown from the generally spectacular wardrobe of Queen Maud of Norway. Dating to c1908 it incorporates an outer shell of sparkle over softer layers #nasjonalmuseet #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The name of this 1948 Dior gown is flamant rose which sounds much more romantic than its English translation which is flamingo pink. All of the fullness at the back, layered over a bustle style tournure pad adds energy to the movement of the skirt, in darker shades #MoMuAntwerp #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I can't be the only one noticing that rockist old curmudgeons grousing about how "No one makes great music anymore" are often the same ones trashing new artists who either ARE making great music that doesn't sound like classic rock, or trashing new artists for sounding TOO MUCH like classic rock.

Just a few flowers left in my garden, and today I made a wreath to go with my brown #kudzucardigan

#Ootd is another #PaulPoiret dress I know very well and was so thrilled to see in person. It's one of his 1921 Toledo gowns made of orange silk crepe, embroidered with metallic thread to create floral designs that end in a fringe, and trimmed on the hem with black fur. It

I finally snapped some photos of this simple quilt I have been making for a while. It was meant to be just a whatever, do it badly-project. Sometimes you need to finish something rather than overthink. It makes me happy to think these random fabrics will be useful now!

This weeks #showmeyourknits : scarves! I don’t knit lots of those anymore, but luckily I made this earlier this year, mostly just because of the interesting brioche pattern. It’s the #heartisaspadeshawl . A shawl can be a scarf sometimes, right?

Knitty has it right.
Funny enough, when I was in the planning for my podcast, I kept getting advice to use AI for scripting, for graphics, for subject matter, whathaveyou. No thanks. I’d rather be my authentic weird self, and I’d rather consume real content from real people.

In all my "Knitty doesn't use AI" messaging, I forgot that designers might want to turn to it for a tweak to their intro or a tarting-up of their photos. Whoops.
It's now in the Submission Guidelines, and is the last item to confirm on the Submission Form. We don't do AI. Please you don't either.

A finished #succulentshawl, blocked and all! This is the first xmas present for this year so I feel very good about having it ready so early. I have so many ideas for gifts I want to make this winter and I am very motivated to get it done. My friend who is getting this is not on this platform yet 😄

Scrap projects are the theme for this weeks #showmeyourknits . I love collecting all my leftovers and putting them together in new ways. I can see all those old projects like memories in the new garment. Some of my best projects have been scrappy actually 😍

Knitting on my second #fieldcardigan these days. And harvesting some things from my garden. I have been laughing about this singular radish that I grew. I had been eating the sprouts and had forgotten them. And suddenly I had this volunteer ♥️😄 #knitting

#memademay2025 Day 28: making piping ribbon by folding this old acrylic yarn in a band of jersey I cut from one of the t-shirts. I got all these pieces topstitched on the main fabric tonight. Now to figure out where the applique goes.

All the fabrics prewashed, so tonight I got started on cutting out all the pieces for the hoodie. I love having a bit of time for each step. I layed it out how it will go, and took photos, so now I can have a look at those until I have time for the next step.

#memademay2025 Day 23: sorting my overlock thread. I used to hold serger classes so I have… too much. But I do love finding the perfect combo to add an extra detail right in the seam. #sergersewing #memademay

Planning another gift! I wanted to use the polar bears and the seals, but they felt too cutesy for a grown man (boyfriend ♥️). Luckily his collection of outgrown @wfmu.bsky.social shirts is still here! I am meant to be making a quilt with them. But first, one more hoodie ♥️

#memademay2025 Day 19: always ready to start something new! My ravelry queue has never been empty since I joined in 2007. I always want to make so many more things. This will be a #heartisaspadeshawl for my mothers birthday, in the leftover pink #raumatumi plus #perminkamma

#memademay2025 Day 18: I finished my latest project, a #haustcardigan in #raumatumi. Pattern by @skeindeer.bsky.social . A gift for my friend Miranda 💖 I love knitting gifts, but I would not like to knit for sale/commision or anything similar. It has to be something I do because I want to.

#memademay2025 Day 17: wearing my 45 year old #rogalandbunad. Shirt embroidered by my grandmother and wool embroideries done by my mother. I changed out all the silver ribbons this year and had all the silver pieces cleaned. Lots of work but it turned out so nice!

#memademay2025 Day 15: wearing #bladliljetopp by Lene Tøsti. Finally done with my #bunad and showing a before and after of the ribbon I switched out. It was a lot of work but very worth it! Wearing it on the 17th! #rogalandbunad

#memademay2025 Day 10: as always, daily selfies are a difficult thing. I don’t have the energy to «look nice» everyday. And I also do not have the confidence to share photos where I look less than nice (to myself. I know objectively I am a normal human and there is nothing wrong with my looks)…
