My Masterplan is to make more Shroomies in a Rainbow of colors. Little Yellow Hat here saw me using SC yarn under and me realizing that there are better decrease techniques than the one I used so far. I finally got the amount of stuffing in the cap right. Also, sewing has improved.
As much as I'm itching to make more, I should probably work on a different project to give my hands some rest....

Pattern: Mushroom Guy by Stephanie Buckner (Critter Stitch)
Yarn: Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6

A crocheted plush toy resembling a cute mushroom character. The toy has a soft, rounded body in muted white with two small arms and legs. It features a smiling face with black eyes and a stitched mouth. On its head is a large, bright yellow mushroom cap with light gray frilly edges underneath, resembling gills. The toy sits on a woven gray surface with a plain light background.

So, my grandmother used to crochet around styrofoam balls to make shapes. I'm thinking the same crochet method could be adapted around a more solid object (let's say a golf ball), and then the chain made long enough to create a #bolas (attaching more crocheted balls). Of course, one would want to use something stronger than yarn... Not quite sure what would work best (hemp fibers?)...

Finally finished this years-long WIP late last night! This is the #12 Adult Basic Socks by Ann Norling. Pattern available on Ravelry. Had to do some additional darning where I picked up the heel . . . It was a little loose, but the completed version looks great! I added a couple extra inches to the ribbed cuff to give the option of slouch socks. My wife loves them and is looking forward to cooler weather to show them off! #knit #knitting #ravelry #WIP #socks #fiberarts #handmade

Picture of two human feet, visible from mid-shin down, wearing hand knit, slouch socks in in a slate gray/green color. Cuffs are ribbed in a knit one/purl one, ribbing pattern. Socked feet are resting on a patterned, shag carpet with burgundy and pink colors underfoot. A patterned, multicolored carpeted stool, and base of a teal green couch with one wooden leg is visible in the background.

New #weaving project - Weft Float Lace

This is a bunch of (I think) 100% wool in fingering weight. A colleague's MIL died 2 years ago and she let me pick through her stash. There were no labels but from touch I'm pretty sure it's wool.

I'd set it aside for a weaving project and now I'm getting to it.

Step one - winding everything into center pull balls and check for damage (I know there is some).

@weaving @fiberarts #fiberarts

Brick red wool yarn - some of it still in skeins, some already wound into a ball. Everything tumbled together from an overturned basket.

My new Daedalus Starling has arrived! I am not in the right mind space to set it up today but I am super excited. Also, I got the Akerworks lazy kate which was more expensive than I initially wanted to spend on a lazy Kate. I bought a different one last year. I can say that was a mistake, i should have just jumped to this amazingly well designed and compact one from the beginning. #HandSpinning #Fiberarts #SpinningWheel

Sarah dreams of beans

I am scheming some dye schemes over here.

I've had this thrifted cotton homespun for a couple years, and I keep not making a shirt out of it because I already have some shirts with similar stripes.

There are over 3 meters of it so I would like to make something bigger, but I know my life and if I'm going to sit on a garment it needs to be a dark colour. I was an inveterate sitter-on-the-ground even before I had a kid and also developed an energy impairment.

Close photo of blue-and-white striped fabric. It is plain-woven and yarn-dyed, so you can see the mix of white and blue threads if you look closely at the blue stripes.

Finished something a few weeks ago. And as always: no good pictures of me wearing the thing exist.

It's a knit shirt, based on the pattern "Green Machine" from an older #knitty issue. The yarn is Coast from Holst Yarn. I've made it a bit longer with mostly a longer lace portion to wear it as a normal shirt, not an additional layer.

At a gauge of 26 sts/10 cm it really is #slowfashion
