SUCH a MW thing. Love it. I am attacking the craft room today

Impressive! Crafts like these formed my young life…and as I got comfortable with one, I’d take up a new one. My last new one has lasted 20 years because no one ever conquers painting.

I even published Counted Cross Stitch books in the early 80s for a company known as Leisure Arts, and for my own and other companies. Never did any weaving though. Love seeing your work!

Dealing very well indeed

Well, if I’m not gonna sleep, at least I’ll not sleep in a decorative way!

These are all so so so wonderful and also reminds me that I took up needlework for the first time in November 2016.

Yes exactly. You concentrate but don't think. At least that's how crafts work. Art that I'm more serious about, like writing, is a very different experience. But crafts are so relaxing!

add extreme crafting to the Olympics now!

Extreme Crafting needs to be a reality TV show, except its just zen music and video of people making beautiful things.

Does making miniatures count?

ALL CRAFTS MATTER™️

ooh was just getting obsessed with getting a loom and this may put me over the top (though my many other works in progress cry out from around the room, mid-knit)

sarahkendzior.bsky.social•104 days ago

But you can justify the loom purchase as an economical way to deal with all your yarn! (My loom was free but I immediately went nuts buying yarn and figured I’d crochet the leftover so in the end I was “actually saving money”)

surlymanul.bsky.social•104 days ago

Ah! An iron-clad, fiscally responsible justification appears!

I've been trying to knit or crochet dishtowels but they aren't quite right, and a loom will allow me to perfect them... and there is no way my brain will let me rest until I've done it. So it'll happen.

Me too. That and online craft shopping.
