New #weaving project - Weft Float Lace

This is a bunch of (I think) 100% wool in fingering weight. A colleague's MIL died 2 years ago and she let me pick through her stash. There were no labels but from touch I'm pretty sure it's wool.

I'd set it aside for a weaving project and now I'm getting to it.

Step one - winding everything into center pull balls and check for damage (I know there is some).

I am scheming some dye schemes over here.

I've had this thrifted cotton homespun for a couple years, and I keep not making a shirt out of it because I already have some shirts with similar stripes.

There are over 3 meters of it so I would like to make something bigger, but I know my life and if I'm going to sit on a garment it needs to be a dark colour. I was an inveterate sitter-on-the-ground even before I had a kid and also developed an energy impairment.

Finished something a few weeks ago. And as always: no good pictures of me wearing the thing exist.

It's a knit shirt, based on the pattern "Green Machine" from an older #knitty issue. The yarn is Coast from Holst Yarn. I've made it a bit longer with mostly a longer lace portion to wear it as a normal shirt, not an additional layer.

At a gauge of 26 sts/10 cm it really is #slowfashion

Art is not always a grand plan. This piece was created purely as a test: I wanted to see what was possible with hand-made silk paper. And when I didn't feel like planning a new project for the animation at the cultural heritage centre, I simply embroidered moss onto it. People were crazy about the moss!
You don't have to be perfect, just start to experiment and play!

Found this book today in a book shop.

I didn't get it, because I haven't done cross stitch in over 20 years and don't see myself taking up the craft any time soon - but there are probably some people in my followers who might enjoy it.

New project - #knitting

I've this yarn (2 balls) sitting around for quite a while. It's 100% cotton, fingering weight and about 1.000 m each.

The plan was to turn it into a cardigan and I've been searching for a pattern or idea where I could use all of the yarn but have no "breaks" in the color sequence. So basically something that really is worked in one piece. Or two pieces. From the arms to the center or vice versa.

I've found it - more info later.
