wizard looking for a way home (aka wizard of dark space)
#pokemon#swsh#champion leon#wizard leon babeyy!#thank u to cosme for hangin out with me while I figure this one out lol#this! is the piece I used for the ''speedpaint'' thingy btw. I'll try to put together the video over the next month or so#lol. usually when I make wizard leon designs I riff with what comes up and think abt like. maybe his affinity in this set#like ''oh he'd do fabric talismans. oh he'd levitate. he does poppet stuff''#that at most. but this. the moment I started fleshing this one out I was like#oh he's really lost. for a very long time. to the point he's learned so much he's forgotten what many of the things on his suit does#like lmao I guess I can Not be normal about any astronaut leon huh!! its chronic for me#I couldnt get to some of the questions folks asked with this one. so this video will probably not be comprehensive#but I'll make another when those things come up!!#fksjdfk sorry lads most of u guys asked abt colors but idk if this ones the best for that. its got a preddy concrete palette#guess I can save talking about the more insane color stuff for when that comes up too...#we'll see!! hope it's gonna happen#for now. one more wizard leon for the book. have a good night lads!#tie a yarn round ur wrist dont forget the way back

You know that feeling when your just happily crafting along and it’s going fine. The weather is the perfect kind of ambiance that you want (sunny, stormy, pattering if a soft rain idk you do you), the pattern is understandable and you’re generally enjoying yourself.
Then it happens. There’s a knot on your thread.
Now in Swedish folklore there are three (3) kinds of thread knot, depending on the situation.
Number 1: the love knot (kärleksknut).
This is a kind of knot that is easily undone. Usually the thread just went over itself and made a little slip knot that you can just tug the end of. It means someone who likes you is thinking of you and it made your thread tease you about it. Might be slightly bothersome, might also make you think of them back.
Number 2: the envy knot (avundsknut).
Perfection will always attract envy. The lesson is that faults in your work is not only fine, but encouraged. Lest you should draw the gaze of the evil eye, or even worse - the gods.
An envy knot in Swedish folklore is usually caused by humans who are envious of your work. It’s the kind of knot where however you pull it it won’t release and you end up making it tighter until you just cut the thread off to make a new start after it.
Number 3: the troll knot (trollknut)
This is comparable to the other two just a knot that happens on its own. But instead of humans it’s blamed on trolls. The trolls are fickle and you can never really know what they want. But they’re hindering your progress in the project so it’s probably not your best they have in mind. Watch out.

I think everyone should learn a fiber art at some point in their life! Drop spinning has quickly become a place of solace for me and I can't wait to spin enough for a sweater one day :>

Spinning and plying and a little stitching too.
The Green Knight from doodle to folk art doll.
And lastly a little freckled wip. I have been incredibly short on creativity lately but I’m trying to do my best. The yarn I’m in the middle of plying right now with the dog snoring beside me and a Mary Beard documentary about everyday Roman lives.

Anyone else following the stories coming out of Wool&Folk2023? Is there anyway venders can recoup their losses? Clearly promises were not kept by the organizers. I feel horrible that they can get away with ripping off small indie makers like that.
#i almost attendre because I knew I’d be on the east coast. thank god I didn’t#accessibility is not optional. I’m shocked by the images of the event#knitblr#at first I didn’t realize any th inf was amiss because all the big makers I follow were posting about what a lovely splendid time it was#yarn cafe creations was the first I saw to come forward with horror stories and now it’s just been a flood of small venders#coming forward with their own stories. I’ve seen so many now in tears over how they can survive the losses from this event#wool&folk#wool&folk2023

the feminine urge to make a dnd character that is so brainrot inducing but also make a key part of his character progression reliant on certain backstory elements being revealed later in the campaign so YOU CAN'T FUCKING TALK ABOUT HIM

My most recent batch of handspun. It’s a bit hard to see, but the darker pink and gold yarns have glitter (Angelina) added to them. These are currently being worked into a sparkly and joyful little sweater for myself.
