Woollen Maple 🧶🍁

A notebook covered in botanical leaf kraft paper and washi tape

And here is the front of my covered notebook. Made with kraft paper and washi tape. 📚📘📗📓✨☘️🌿🍀🍁🍂🍃📒📕📔📙📖

A notebook covered in Kraft paper. The background is a cutting mat of blue and green. Scissors are visible as well as a metallic coaster. The notebook itself is a Pukka hardback notebook with gold coloured ring binding. The Kraft paper is brown with green leaves. The washi tape is teal with a gold foil arrangement of sunflowers and leaves.

Sometimes you like a notebook, but the cover just needs something.
I've got #coverednotebook in #kraftpaper and #washitape all #botanicaltheme it makes me happy 😁
This is the back!

Orange and yellow wool blend spun

Finally got around to #spinning the orange #sample from @craftycatknittybit.bsky.social 😁

Green and black Corriedale spun into a barberpole

#tourdefleece #TdF I finished my second skein on my lovely drop spindle 😁 Green and black Corriedale

Personally I like spinning fingering weight and do about 50g skeins a time. Also currently only drop pr support spindling. So maybe an ESpinner is a good candidate there.

Not sure about purling your last stitch,don't think it's needed. But you generally slip the first stitch purlwise, unless you're doing Ichord but that case I usually expect the salvedge to be made up of around 3 or more stitches. If the pattern doesn't specify, slip PW, knit last stitch like normal

#tourdefleece This is the first skein I finished for this year's TdF 😁

After the announcement of redundancies yesterday at my work. I'm looking forward to retirement.

I frogged mohair multiple times. Not impossible but definitely not fun, I agree

Blue green and brown two ply fingering weight. Background is slatted wood painted green and concrete

Today I finished #spinning a #2plyfractal using #corriedale #wool from #craftycatknittybits 💙💚🤎 in colourway #pineridge

The worst ones are the "meeting that could have been an email" where they simply "must speak face to face for collaboration" urgh! I used to have a 3hr commute, I basically switched jobs because I was sick of being pulled into the office with no prior notice.

Normal to an extent. You can slip the final stitch on each row (and then knit or purl it on the next row where it'll be the first stitch) there are other ways but that's the most common way to make a tidy salvage

A glass of colar next to some purple and white knitting

#showmeyourknits This week is knitting in public because Sat was #knittinginpublicday I'm out today at a pub in the next few towns over. I don't drink so it's cola for me 😁 I shall reveal what I'm knitting later 🤣

A cotton blue gingham scrunchie of white and blue. On a grey background

I've been focusing on tackling my mending pile. But I got fed up sewing bits on preexisting items and decided to sew something from scratch. This is #cottonscrunchie with #naturalrubber #elastic 😁 The elastic came from #jamestailoring

I can't I'm at work 😭

A knitted blanket made up of squares. The squares are made up of two triangles, one in a light brown and the other in a bright colour. So half the overall blanket is brown and the other half has a variety of colours of red green purple blue yellow with only a little bit of white.

23.5 squares left #knitting 🧶 #sweetshopblanket by #laurapenrose made with WYS colour lab DK latte as the main colour and 20g miniskeins I created from stash for the contrast colours. Each miniskein creates two half square triangles. Some I paired with some scrap mohair to create more variety

Yes, but let's give grace to those who don't speak English as their native language. In some languages both crafts use the same word with maybe a prefix added in instances where you want to differentiate them. So when learning English it can be confusing to some second language English speakers

Yes indeed 😁 🍪 Mum sits on the couch on the left so the puppy is on her right

Bingo. And that's the philosophical question isn't it? When is a visible repair visible? I think it's more of a gradient then a binary value :)

A circle. Or a 2nd vote for void 🖤

My strategy for this is to shashiko the entire trouser back. The legs included. It's taking ages but I'm enjoying the process. Trousers so wear at different places, but I sit a lot for my job so that's why mine wears in the back more. When I was younger it was always at the hems

As crass as it sounds, I always wear out my jeans in the same spot 🤐 I think it's because I sit a lot for my job

Clever, frugal, fun and gosh darn gorgeous 🤩

I love doing some visible mending 😁

#19 shawl collared sweater from Rowan 1. WYS The Croft

This 😁

Yes it's such a pretty colour I recognised it instantly 😁 I'm currently working with it also

Time to knit a matching hat 😁

I'd be curious to know too

I'm tempted to make one for my work laptop. It's 18inch and can't find a bag big enough 🤣

So was it silk fibre inside the layers of the handkerchief? I didn't realise silk handkerchiefs were constructed in that way 😮
