So I think I forgot to post about it here but I'm knitting my own wedding dress.

Edit to add materials: I'm using suri silk alpaca (apparently I'm slightly allergic to mohair?), and glass beads for the silvery and pearl beads.

this thing is getting. unwieldy. the pattern outright warns you about how heavy this thing gets if you do it beaded (it’s got something absurd like 5,000 beads on it including those beaded tassels) but i. did not fully appreciate how much 5,000 beads weigh.

#exciting adventures where i am playing both yarn AND bead chicken with this #and the yarn I’m knitting it with is no longer sold #which is sad bc it’s a really lovely silk :((#does always end up looking a bit bridal-y but whatever whatever #me to start off with: oh it’s fine if it looks bridal i’ll just knit another one #me now: I Love This Pattern And Also I’m Burning It When I’m Done #maker knits

The gloves ! Post office photoshoot lol, sorry. The yarn was my second ever wheelspun yarn--it was languishing in my stash for several years since I thought it was pretty bad. After using it though I've changed my opinion--it's quite nice ! It was a hand blended mix of merino, silk, and silk noil.

I dont use patterns but for matching items like gloves or socks I sometimes write up what I'm doing so the other will match, which is what I did here. You can read the pattern on my ravelry page here. It's women's small-- they are too small for my hands but hopefully will fit her well.

The garage-sale batt has redeemed itself. I added some violet mystery wool from the same sale to strengthen it a little and got the whole thing spun and plied. Now it goes into the pile of skeins ready to set when I have time!

#sweeet violets sweeter than all the roses....#handspun #drop spindle #yarn #spinning #wool #silk #fiber arts #it's super soft and springy I actually think I'm going to enjoy knitting with it later

young elim doesnt sew but he DOES knit a PRODIGIOUS amount. standing in line for hours at the cardassian dmv playing his role as a cog in the bureaucratic machine needles clacking away

#dee s 9 #garashir adoption au #you know cardassian ravelry is popping OFF #sending a message to a designer only to realize they havent been active since the Great Genocide like aww.....#RIP scalesnneedles69420 i guess ill never get my question about the yoke gauge answered #anyways Lim always has yarn and needles in his shoulder bag so he can knit on the go. keeping his family well appointed #garak in a very handsome Faire Aisles sweater. iskra proudly showing off her elaborate knit mitts.#julian gets socks. because he never wears sweaters. its too hot. he doesnt appreciate them.#i feel like exposure to bajoran culture would create a renaissance in openwork knitting. lots of asymmetrical lace and net patterns.#vs the cardassian INCH THICK FOR WARMTH. IMPERMEABLE AND FIREPROOF knits #maybe julian can get a nice filmy silk yarn asymmetric openwork bolery sort of thing.#Lim really has to overextend himself to make it. get out of his comfort zone. fulminate over the lackadaisical design and lack of seams

#repostober #day 14 i think. i lost count in the catching up lol #undertale #sans #papyrus #gaster #dadster #blacktober #technically i drew this for blacktober but never posted it.. it just sat in my wips folder unsaved as an actual image until a few days ago #i meant to fully shade it and make a nice sky background and give sans lens blur but. alas. (ill probably finish it one day sfgkjf)#anayway i LOVE my designs for the human font family SM #sans has dwarfism and lets his hair naturally grow out and does nothing to take care of it (it is as soft as silk regardless)#papyrus is JACKED and has so many piercings and tattoos cus YOU KNOW HE WOULD IF HE HAD SKIN!!!! he always ALWAYS has a fresh cut and he-#gives me gender envy ANYWAYs-#gaster has monochromacy (monochromatic color blindness) and two sets of dentures #both his legs were amputated so he uses a wheelchair and he has scars that resemble burn scars and no nose #as well as two facial scars that connect to his eyes and mouth- his skull is also fractured under them #hes always wearing his favorite pair of glasses (that his sons bought him)#he loves tea and knitting so much................ he is a grandma #(visually hes lowkey based on my grandpa hgdfjd)#they are all such doofuses and they love each other so much..... papyrus can carry both of them at the same time and often does #when sans randomly falls asleep in public or when gaster has spent the last 17 hours in the librarby

Soooooooooo, I'm going on vacation next week with @swords-n-spindles !!! (Very excited!!!)

And I need help deciding on a travel/vacation project

We have left to right:

1. Linen fabric for a pirate shirt with lace on the sleeve cuffs. (Needs to be pressed first) (I could use some fabric that might be over for some drawn lace work with the lace yarn I spun some while ago 👀)

2. 425m of wool, silk and Ramie. My little niece still needs a plushie

3. Unknown yardage of tussah silk for a summer lace sweater (have a few patterns in mind, very simple, might be dyed over)

4. 720m of 2ply lace/cobweb. The first raw Fleece I worked with. Not too soft. Might be able to be worn next to skin, not Shure. Maybe also a lace sweater? Or a cute lace shawl?

(I lean towards two projects. One for the train, and one for the vacation flat)

The Tiber shawl by Woolenberry. The yarn is Wax Bean by LolaBean Yarn Company in the Tell Me Something Good sock set. I used the mini skein for the garter ridges of the scalloped border.

finished my first colorwork sweater!!!!

( @trashpandacraft was right it probably could do with one more blocking sesh but tbh it's Good Enough and I was excited to wear it and also my blocking set up is in the most inconvenient place possible so.)

#wow I thought the colorwork part took a long time....#i had to undo the the neckline for the front and back because the armseye wasn't deep enough #and then I made up the sleeves as i went because they didnt match the pattern anymore #but I also messed up the sizing (got my inches and centimeters mixed up lol)#but that just gave me a cropped sweater which i like so i didnt go bacl to fix that #and even tho i went down a needle size the stitches came out a touch loose and the fabric where there is no #colorwork is quite mesh like #so i have to wear a cami under when im at work but i do that with all my pullovers regardless of fabric so thats no biggie.#but the pros now.#the linen and silk are so comfy for my bad body heat managment ass #i will be wearing this sweater in the summer. (atleast at work)#the sizing is perfect in spite of The Problems #i feel much better about having to undo so much of it (neckline and half of one sleeve as well as restart the ribbing 3 times #the v neck is cute. ive been on that turtleneck grind for a while now i forgot how nice v necks look on me #knitting #yarn #sweater #handmade #handknit #handknitting #hand knitting

My friend was destashing, so I purchased some light worsted weight from her. It is a handspun blend of merino, hemp, and silk. There is more than enough for a sweater. It arrived yesterday, and I swatched it last night. It is sooooo soft. And as a bonus, I made gauge!
