Japanese paper artist Chie Hitotsuyama creates sculptures of animals using a technique involving rolled strips of wet newspaper #womensart

Conversation with my son, 9yo: Son: Is that one of those Bolognese sweaters? Me: A bolero? Som: Yes, the kind you wear while eating Bolognese sauce! This is a little cropped bolero I knit for C (7yo) since she has almost grown out of the one I knit her when she was 18 months old. 🧶

I’ve been teaching outreach classes for the Textile Center, and yesterday we made sweet hand pieced quilted coasters at Nokomis library.

The mittens that will never end. 🧶 Saga in thread.

Come learn some new arts and even crafts with me. I have a ton of classes listed, and am working on some free options in the near future!

Some days I feel cute. Wearing a handknit lace vest designed by Marlena Kolaczek, and knit in a silk single. 🧶

Mathematicians and knitters: nerds who like to count. 🧶

One of my very first spins in the books! 🧶

This is an interesting perspective. What does it mean for artists? Is making art enough? Or do you need to somehow synthesize it? Or is the making of art the synthesis of patterns?

Back to knitting on these itty bitty mittens. Can I finish by the end of March? #marchtothefinish 🧶

💀

While I was making this, I asked where he planned to wear this sweater. “At home, it’s a home only sweater.” This morning he said, “This is an everywhere sweater” and wore it to school. 🧶😍🧶🥹🧶

One more item for #MarchtotheFinish: my son’s blue cardigan that he helped me design, which I knit for the #BlueskyKAL 🧶

I think I need one or 10 of these next to my emotional support chicken 🐓🧶

Last WIP left for #MarchtotheFinish are these pair of mittens. They’ve been in time out due to the tiny thumb on the right mitten. 🧶

Anyone else failed at Finish It February? Join me for March to the Finish! First entry: Saven Sweater designed by @meggospurls.bsky.social

My woven placemats are done and finished. What a day. I hope to never tie a knot again. 😆 #weaving #rigidheddleweaving

Today on my walk, the trees had the teeniest of buds. Spring is coming, friends.

Sometimes, you weave with what you have. #weaving
