🧶🧶🧶 Yay! The Mom Crème Anglaise sweater is at last done, delivered and mom-approved!

I learned so much making this. Lots of frogging back, switching yarns, switching patterns also. Settled on Valley Yarns Charlemont fingering and Cascade Baby Alpaca lace held together - dream combo. I love how the silk helps give the other fibers and the garment structure. Hooray, a #FO!

Dear photo diary, Today I am sharing some leftover photos and thoughts on culling photos, sharing & documenting everyday life. I am the queen of random after all, so that's not too unexpected…

🧶🧶🧶 Knitters! The new "OPI'm Dreaming" spring nail collection is out! Im sharing this because nail color is very sensitive to design trends, and OPI does it so well. Check out these crisp icy shades that just came out - inspiration for our spring-summer knits.

This was a fun one! 🤩 Love the way the pattern turned out, and the colours! I'll have to try this design again someday…

(I made a silly error when glossing it that resulted in some surface imperfections, but they're not very noticeable, thankfully! And I learned what to avoid for next time. :da_sweat: )

A photo of a dot painting on a round plaster stone. the design consists of a six-pointed star shape filled with radiating teardrop shapes in metallic colours of purple, pink, and turquoise. The star in the centre is circled with scallop shapes filled with the same teardrop starburst patterns. It's punctuated with metallic silver lines and dots.
Showing off the side scallop designs and silver dots.
More of a top-down view, showing off the six-pointed star shape in the centre.
Holding the stone in my hand, 3/4 view. It's nice and shiny.


Here is a Flute that I made.
It is designed much like a Native American flute.

It is tuned to a low D4 (294hz) and can play about an octave and a half.

Made from northern white pine which I harvested from an old tree and black leather binding. : ]

🧶🧶🧶 New WIP!! Just started making the BonBon mitts now for my old roommate here at the nursing home. She wants them in white just like the pattern shows.

Cute pattern, and free! Using gifted yarn, not sure from who. No belly band, but feels like maybe a wool-synthetic blend...?

So happy to have something fresh to work on, while I also knit the final sleeve on Mom's sweater. Onward!

#introduction
I’m Ruth - living in #Machynlleth, Wales. I love #singing (I lead a choir here), #hiking and getting to know the beautiful area of #eryri, where I live. I’m learning #cymraeg. I also help to run #machspace, our local #Makerspace. I enjoy #arts and #crafts, especially #collage, #zine making, #sewing, #knitting and #crochet and am also getting into #watercolour. Am hoping to soon become a #cat owner once I find a place I can live with a pet and do some #vegetableGardening.

So that I am not vagueposting: I was told by someone to "back off the AI policing" after I pointed out that the crochet pattern they shared is AI generated and doesn't actually exist. I follow many wonderful crafting people online, and I love crochet. I just don't get why someone knowingly shares crap like that.

Even more ponies.

Well in truth the bay was a big TBxID but my cats are the size of pigs which are the size of acorns so I think I gave up on scale along time ago…

#crossStitch #crafts #needlework
Partially completed cross stitch sampler. There are lots of animals, trees and flowers which are all stylised rather than realistic. The part currently being worked on has two Haflinger ponies and a bay.


🧶🧶🧶 Swatching! Why?

For my elderly roommate here at the nursing home, who spends most of her time curled up in a ball under blankets, isolated.

I offered to knit her slippers. These will be the Nordic Slippers, a simple pattern with lace detail at the ankle. Yellow is her fave color, and I sourced this gorgeous yarn in stash. No band, but it feels like wool - very expensive wool! Deserving!

...Michelle can also be found on her website, MakerTube.net. Lots of great knitting and other crafted content in well-edited videos in both places.

@ConsumableJoy I sure hope you are taking a big bow for what you've created with #FinishOrFrogAlong. Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏👏

I have been told that it is customary to do an #introduction post, so here I go.

I love #cats, have 2; #squid (arsehole) and #newton (fatso).

#music is important to me and I have something playing most of the time.

#sewing and #knitting are my hobbies as well as #gardening. I sound like an old woman! Oh wait I am!!

Love #books have way too many. Too many on #baking and #crafts

Oh I talk too much and laugh way too loud - might also find me dancing in the aisle of my local supermarket.

Embroidarhytnm is a mashup between:

* The sound responsive drum ornament I did a while ago
https://reshet.social/@zzzen/112031848137797168

* Embroidamotion — as seen at https://reshet.social/@zzzen/111942240337762246

Just like Embroidamotion, it incorporates embroidery by #UmRani from Bil'In, #Palestine

#crafts #arduino #rgb_leds


Embroidamotion incorporates embroidary by #UmRani from #palestine (In this example — a #peace dove) with motion sensitive back light (2 #LED noodles).
Additional images (and their descriptions) explain the #electronics part of it (in case you want to make something similar).

Another Minoan seal design, because why the heck not 😄 Evans described it as "goddess reposing on the waves of the sea". Just chillin. It's one of my favorites. 🥰 The second pic is the original artifact.

An oval glass pendant on my palm, 2cm wide. It features the black line drawing of a stylized Minoan figure, a woman in a flounced skirt and bare breasts reclining against a blue and green background of stylized waves.
Black and white drawing of a Minoan seal impression, same design as the one before.


I really enjoyed making the pendant in the previous post :) I am thinking about making some more from my favorite designs.

Which ones do you think are the best? :)

Drawing of a circular seal design with a very much stylized, derpy looking wild goat with googly eyes
Circular seal design with seven lions walking around the perimeter counterclockwise, and six spiders on the inside moving clockwise
Drawing of a circular seal design with a woman in a long skirt, and a griffin standing on its hind legs, seemingly dancing with (?) the woman
Circular seal design with a humanoid figure seemingly doing a back flip, turning into a bull from the waist up. (Or a partial depiction of bull leaping)


I made a thing 😊 A medal for myself based on a Bronze Age Minoan seal. Original CMS IV 257, found in Malia. Dated LM I-II (so... roughly 3500 years old). It was red jasper so I used a red background. I think it's a crane, though the original publication just said "bird" 😅

Here's the thing, I'm not an artist or anything. But I love Minoan seal designs, and I think it is a travesty they're not more popular in souvenir terms, so I decided to get crafty 😄

A round, bronze colored pendant with an image under a glass lens in the middle. The image is a stylized bird in flight, on a red background. The pendant is in the palm of my hand, 3cm in diameter.
Drawing of a round Minoan seal. Stylized figures of a crane in flight, another one standing and looking up at it. And two symbols that look like a ship and a sun.
