dangling the noodles. for to dry them.
playing with fire (overfilling my bobbin just to feel something)
#it’s very annoying I have to remove one of my saucepans to make space for dangling#and I suspect the hook is not so good bc it sort of kinks the yarn#but ah well#maker spins#anyways bedtime for me now. goodnight sweet noodles. see u in the morning

Since I sometimes make posts about gauge swatches people sometimes expect me to be able to tell them why their swatch lied to them and sometimes it's the resting step but sometimes it's not and gauge can be affected by a LOT of things like mood and stress, among many many others. And I'm good at knitting lace but I don't consider myself an expert knitter! There's lots of stuff I don't know! I am constantly learning new things!
So I've decided to join the "I don't knit gauge swatches I just suffer" people and get Catholic about it. The swatch lied to you because it was possessed by that guy who denied knowing Jesus. That's why it betrayed you.

I came across this in a book I'm currently reading and it's really stuck in my mind and I wanted to share
'Sheep in Wolf's clothing' by Judith Duffey 1986
I don't know if anyone on here is going to be interested I'm this piece or anything but I wanted to share as it struck me an an amazing piece of textile art

Blocking this doily was an experience! It took a little over three hours and a bit of my sanity. I’ve told myself I’ll never do this again, but I feel as if that might be a lie..
Photos of the doily are of it while being blocked. I totally forgot to get any pics after I took all the pins out. The finished size was 51 inches in diameter.
