Aoife had it. She had a spa/hair/nails day. I tried to clean the blanket destruction and cut blanket pieces out of her butt. Not enough scratches. #angorarabbit #rabbit #bunsky #bunny

I just backed PURL Magazine: The magazine for knitters on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/ply...

The annoying, rarely shown side of weaving. The threads will catch everything, including itself. If there is anything in its path - edge of table, cup, shuttle, loom - it will get caught. #rigidheddle #weaving

I'm at a spinning event at the Evergreen State Fair. The art yarn continues.... beehives will be mastered. #artyarn #spinnersofbluesky #handspinning #electricspinningwheel #spinningwheel #spinningyarn #handspun

I'm doing a spinning demo at the Evergreen State Fair. Today, I'm feeling core and beehives. #spinning #handspun #handspinner #spinnersofbluesky #daedalusspinningwheels

There's something about hem stitch my left handed brain cannot get. I watched at least 6 videos, swear at all of them being shit in their own special ways. Then think I get it and hate it as it tedious. Later on, forget how to do it and repeat the cycle.

How it started... (fucked up and missed a slot)... how it is going. I would like to thank chatgpt for doing the weaving math. I wouldn't attempt weaving again without it. And I gave it "i got 175g of sugar cream, 7.5 dent" and it told me how much to warp.

My angora rabbit Lucien has no object permanence. It is medicine time, and he is hiding under his bed. He is stunned that I can find him. He has never solved those intelligence toys that hide treats. My other 2 rabbits do not have this issue. #rabbit #rabbitsofbluesky #bunny #angorarabbit

The full Jenkins spindle haul from Blacksheep Gathering. I love the Lilac Wren! I'm still missing a Merlin for have one or each. #turkishspindle #spindle #spinnersofbluesky #handspinning #handspunyarn

Eeeeee! My tiny Jenkins BeeHummingbird turkish spindle is so cute! It is the perfect spindle for this Romney silk blend. #spinnersofbluesky #spindle #spinningyarn #spinning #handspun #spinningfiber

I put my tea mug down for a minute, and Lucien jumps over, misses, and gets his foot in it. Back into bunny jail. #rabbit #angorarabbit #bunny #bunnysky

I just tie another leader and start spinning the next project. Don't even need the leader, I just use it to be very obvious it is a new project. That's easier than this bobbin. www.printables.com/model/132426...

If spinning a cotton ball is not difficult enough, try spinning it using a ball and some rubber bands.

Lucien got into the tissue box. It must have blown his mind. He was strangely defensive over them, too, and wouldn't let me clean up his mess. #rabbit #rabbitsofbluesky #angorarabbit #bunny

My first project on my new Majacraft Aura! Corespun Merino silk slub yarn. Spun the singles at the Whidbey Weavers Spin In, and finished plying at my Airbnb for the weekend. #spinningwheel #spinnersofbluesky #fiberarts #makingyarn #handspinning #artyarn

My Lucien is so vain. It is impossible to photo his right side, which is shaved with stitches on his jaw after the last rabbit dentist visit. He is more angry I didn't get him a blue donut, as that is his colour. #angorarabbit #rabbitsofbluesky #blueskybunnies

I have a new spinning wheel! My 7th wheel, Majacraft Aura! Joins my Majacraft Pioneer. So far, there has been a lot of fiddling with the double drive tension and trying to get the highest ratio possible on the high-speed head. #spinningwheel ##spinnersofbluesky #handspinning

What I like about working at a yarn/fiber shop is when people come in and look relieved to see me. Usually it's fixing crochet, picking colours, or spinning disasters.

The rest of my Fibers West Haul! I got some gorgeous Romeny batts, merino cashmere and gotland dyed combed top, and an Innoxia Jumbo Bobbin Spindle! I can't wait to ply on it! #spinnersofbluesky #spinning

Fibers West festival! I found some gorgeous Bond washed fleece. First time trying Hanui, some vendors had it in dyed combed top but these locks are black AF. #spinnersofbluesky #spinners

Yess! My Majacraft Aura will be here in a few weeks! So excited!

Serious yarn chicken situation with someone double parking to buy a single skein of yarn.

I swear every time I sell a fiber prep tool (blending board, combs, hand cards) I accidentally cut my finger in the process.

Lucien is a bit miffed that I won't let him chew the paper bags. #rabbit #rabbits #bunday #bunny

I'm not doing Spin Together or Spindy500 this year, but spinning in support. Banged out some of that @316dyestudio.bsky.social cotton. This colourway is so much fun! Spun on my Daedalus Falcon. @daedalusspinners.bsky.social #spinningwheel

Today was fixing others knitting mistakes caused by a couple glasses of wine. Also wrestled with setting up a student's Ashford Espinner. Gosh, the uptake feels like Irish tension.

I dunno how Malabrigo gets away with mailing damp skeins. Maybe to enhance the vinegar smell we expect, like McDonald's French fries.

I just finished @charansachar.bsky.social Corespinning Plus class at redalderfiberarts. Did some crazy auto-wrap with reflective thread and boucle gothic black corespun. All spun on Daedalus Magpie v2. @daedalusspinners.bsky.social #handspunartyarn

Instead of being social at lunch at a fiber arts retreat, I just spin another batt on my Magpie. Same goes for last night too. Spun 3 batts next to the bar while others drank. @daedalusspinners.bsky.social #spinningyarn #artyarn ##corespunyarn

I spun up from boucle/popcorn and fishnet yarn at charansachar redalderfiberarts retreat in Tacoma! I hauled my Daedalus Magpie so I can get the fattest yarns. Tomorrow is core spinning. #handspunartyarn #handspun #spinningwheel @daedalusspinners.bsky.social

Decided to pitch in for an EEW Fold. $200 is in my FU money range to see how quick I can break this wheel. I'm pretty good at stalling the motor on all of them.

I'm hiding in a leather chair in Costco, waiting for my tires. Tempted to start knitting. That might be too cozy lookin.

Double Dino! There are kits available to make my Triceratops and Stegosaurus Amigurumi crochet patterns. @strandedbythesea.com They look pretty snazzy. #amigurumi

I nonstop knit for 4 hours during a party (that I knew no one else besides my SO). It is the body section on a fingering weight sweater. I swear it didn't get any bigger. This is gonna take awhile. Thankfully it is garter in the round, I find that more interesting than endless knitting.

Today in working at the LYS. 2 people looking for Mauve yarn and had different perspectives of what mauve is. One got hot pink, another a dark berry. I thought it was a grey dusty pink purple.

I need a DK yarn and everything in stash for at LYS is not suited for what I want to do with it. Time to spin it then. Being a spinner is POWER.

I could not resist getting some more spindles and a distaff on St. Distaffs Day spin in. Sadly I've sworn to not start a new spindle projects until I clear off my other spindles. Spindles - Joel Grinstead and Allen Berry, PNW makers.

I nearly missed the pacific time New Years Countdown as I was busy skeining my handspun cotton and cursing at my yardage counter.

Someone for "yarn that doesn't make the edges of your knitting curl." Insisted it is an actual product. Uhhhh.... add a border to the knitting. Working at LYS is interesting during the holidays.

What #knitting insanity is happening here? If you guessed a provisional cast on with working round done on 2 circulars... you are right. I'm making this complicated as I dislike beginning with collar ribbing, and I can't pick up stitches for this pattern.

This little turd did a driveby yarn cut... twice. She is fast, mean, squirrelly, and hairy gremlin. Smaller the bunny, the more angry they are. And this English Angora is tiny for her breed. #knitting #rabbit

This Lendrum has the GIANT flyer! First time I've seen one and got to play with it. I spun up some chonky scrap yarn and had fun. Now I want a treadle art yarn wheel... #spinningwheel #handspinner

Furby crochet... snake? I love it, but it is so cursed. www.reddit.com/r/crochet/s/...

My corespun handspun art yarn project done on my Daedalus Magpie spinning wheel. The fiber is a random lump of bits that my guild piled together. I grabbed handfuls and spun them up.

Oddly satisfying yarn mini bar.

My English Angora rabbit Aoife in her post shave sweater. Mostly shaved, it is a 2 person job to trim her legs and fists. Her favorite activity is punching humans and other rabbits for calling her cute.

Hoot Hoot
