Update on my 1930s #crochet project. Still unsure about the construction- I did not resize the collar pattern or the sleeves. 🧶 Pattern from 1935.

My first time trying to mend a sock ended up being my first time trying the “Kitchener stitch” ;; I think #mending is deeply beautiful (even if my sock mend is so fugly she’s become cute). I am so happy to add this to my mending toolkit as a skill to practice and use. 🧶

Belt part of my 1930s #crochet and #knit project! Trying to figure out if I want to knit or potentially weave the long band that will go on top of ribbing. 🧶 I have a few mother of pearl buckles - so cute! 🧶

Be honest #knittersinthesky 🧶 is this bind off fugly? :-( learning to #knit foibles

Plotting my next project, and using a necklace I made from vintage silk velvet, merino wool and beadweaving with pearls as a reference :-) mostly to finaaaaally use my precious @seachangefibers.bsky.social Shoreline Sport in Antique Faire ahhhhh!!!

Learned a new decrease!!! Learning to #knit has been so fun :-))) 🧶

#ShowMeYourKnits When she heard I’d bought some lace yarns with the birthday money she sent me, Grandma Bel demanded a “sexy light luxurious” scarf. (She was 100 at the time, so exempt from the usual yarn #gift protocol.) A diva to the end. ❤️ 🧶 #knitsky www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

A new friend in the attic atelier :-) 🧶 now to get faster at #knitting and #crochet to keep up!

#vintagecrochet help! ☎️☎️☎️ if anyone could offer any insight on how to interpret these 1930s instructions I would be so grateful. “When you reach the neck, add stitches to each shoulder and leave off stitches for the back of neck” I’m working on the back piece! 🧶 #crochet

Wee vacation #crochet sweater 🧶 Non superwash merino and alpaca!

The yarn wall is finally happening! all California fiber 💖 🧶🧶🧶🧶 (local mills, farms, dyers) my heart is racing! #fiberart

I have been working on a 60s (?) #crochet pattern and struggled to decipher the sleeve construction but how cool is the armpit gusset?? Decreasing shells !!!!!! 🧶🧶🧶 I had to restart the sleeve like 4 times..so I am feeling hopeful! #vintagecrochet

I think there is something beautiful and circular about slow making (and all it encompasses) for example #visiblemending and #darning a fuzzy ol wool sweater from the Paris flea gets a second life in my home in California.

Learning to #knit - so far the hardest encounter has been the “pinhole cast on” 😔😔🧶

Finished felting and almost ready for embroidery! Wooldreamers cautiva Spanish wool. 🧶🧶🧶 #knitting

Ginormous #knit hat - almost down with decreases!!! A combo of patons and @seachangefibers.bsky.social Ecola Worsted in Simone :-)

A little bit in love with @seachangefibers.bsky.social Ecola Worsted- I’ve had this in my stash waiting for the right project- and now I want a snuggle sweater made with her. 🧶🧶 #knitting stoked to find California supplies 💖

Wool flowers on titanium studs 🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶 #beading

WIP ! I love birds 😤 🧶 #needlefelting on #crochet

What do you like to make I think maybe making is the only thing that saves us 🧶

Prepping for a fiber show - a true joy to be able to make projects that bring together #knitting #crochet , embroidery, beading, hand dyed silk!

Ahh… never fun to find an accidental increase/oopsie from the beg of a previous row. #crochet 🧶

Hi! Any love for small businesses here? Specifically handmade? I have been hand crafting jewelry for over 4 years now. Would love to connect with some collectors, art appreciators and other beaders! #beading #slowfashion #handcraft

Some #beadweaving ; I took a break from beading to avoid a repetitive stress injury. Now I make sure to go slow and stretch lots… and to ONLY bead with decent light! #beadersinthesky #beading

I learned to knit so I could combine #crochet with #knit details like ribbing ♥️🧶 logwood dyed wool- all local yarn from Northern California #crochetersofbluesky #slowfashion

Ofc still have a #crochet project going. #crochetersofbluesky 🧶🧶

Learning to knit has been v fun :-) 🧶🧶 #knittersofbluesky #knitting
