I knot ya / Ester @i-knot-ya.bsky.social · Nov 17
I’m trying to figure out this place. Was never a fan of the app-that-should-not-be-named. But sofar like it here.
I’m a longtime crochet lover that started on a more distinctive style last year by creating my own designs and art objects. For now it’s often freeform , tapestry or C2C. #Crochet 🧶

As I like to write a little too I started a substack to be able to write about what comes to mind but it’s gonna be mostly about fibre arts
It says : beating your winter Gloom add a little color. It’s thursday morning and both my husband and I stare out of the window. We watch the drops rolling down the glass. We don’t say a word. We just both got the nasty flu and are still… Iknotuya.substack.com

It was a good decision to do some duplicate stitching as the text pops out. 🧶 #knitting
The back panel of a knitted sweater in pink with a yellow sculpted fair isle print on top and bottom in the middle in green: when in doubt make tea Zoomed in on the green text but now there is some duplicate stitch in yellow so the text pops out.

I finished the front panel of my new sweater.

Do you like to travel? And if yes why aren’t you going?

#crochet #colorwork #tapestry 🧶
The back of a crochet sweater in lots of colors with an enormous amount of loose ends that need to be weaved in. Basic color is mustard and further there is green, turquoise, red, black and white, yellow, orange and pink. Due to it being the backside of the work you cannot decipher what it looks like in the front. The frontside of the crochet sweater where you can see an avocado sliced showing the inside and the other half, a sombrero, a large flower and a piñata in the shape of a lama. There are so many colours used the basic color is mustard and further there is green, turquoise, red, black and white, yellow, orange and pink. In the middle there’s a white speech bubble with the text in black : ‘I want to travel but’

I use scrolling on sm to relax my hands as this cat pod needs a tight crochet and it’s giving me cramps.

I use clothespins to keep my work as clean as possible. It still get’s a bit tangled but not as much as if they are loose balls.

🧶 #Crochet #intarsiacrochet #graphghans #stitchfiddle
A piece of intarsia crochet in progress (lot’s of colour changes) we see different colour planes in green and aqua. A sliced avocado. And a big speech bubble with the words “I want to travel” At the bottom of the work you can see clothespins with the different colours of yarn to keep them from tangling while working

This teenie weenie one is as big as a small rabbit. Babs was found in a box in the midst of winter together with her 2 sisters. No blanket, no food nor water in the pooring rain. They all were around 6 à 7 weeks old. We took them in and got her sisters a good home.
Anyhoo meet Babs
This is Babs a very tiny mixed breed a very tiny dog.

This is a crochet wallhanging for my son. The cat is inspired by his prinsess Dutchy and the dog is Boris the dog he grew up with and that passed some years ago.

Alt text is important, with a mom with a vision disability I know the struggle
