been messing around with synthesizers lately, got my hands on a music thing modular WS
got some pretty simple patches going on, focusing more on noise than music rn. lots of sirens and eerily human sounding vocalization
also working on programming my own card for it.. we'll see how that goes

spun some aluminum and copper like it was a cable yarn to make chain that doesnt behave like chain
was interested in seeing if textured yarn spinning techniques could be applied to metals in any way
spun 2 pairs of copper and aluminum wire in s twist, then plied them together with z twist

dyed my gansey swatch in indigo to get a feel for how the yarn will take the dye... and im obsessed
the smell of the indigo and watching it oxidize is just a wonderful experience. I have never been more excited for a project in my life
i did 5 dips, each 1 minute submerged and 1 minute to oxidize

milking this fleece for every gram of wool i can get. Already spun 2.2 lbs of 5 ply worsted weight yarn, and starting a sock yarn.
This will be my third and final pass tho, I think i got my moneys worth and the rest will be stuffing.

weaving with cotton singles as warp and weft like im the bad boy of weaving
only 2 of 264 warps drifted apart so thats a win. i do have to lift a couple stitches every pick manually but its small project, about 13", so im not mad.
this will probably be a handkerchief with drawn thread embroidery
