What's another woolly beanie on my needles when it's 10000800°C outside?

My second Musselburgh (yes, these are addictive!) and I have plans to alternate colors for the brim and the top of both sides.

8 days of poor weather equals no astro views... but I have still been keeping busy.

It doesn’t look like much yet but it’s definitely coming along. I am not feeling very confident about the colors but it’s the only option I was able to procure in time. The brand I planned to use originally was sold out of the color I need the most of so I improvised and am trusting the process. #desertbusforhope #Craftalong #crochet #fiberarts #fanart

Fiber Goals Update cont’d

For the rest of the goals - i already let those go (good tidings, finish long-term WIP) in favor of embracing where i am.

Current goals include: blocking and finishing projects; possibly making a sweater out of some beautiful Aran yarn I picked up in Shetland; getting back to spinning. I have so much fiber i want to spin - some destined for Turkish spindling, some for espinner. Getting excited again. (3/3)

Fiber Goals Update cont’d

Spin-to-Knit: technically I already completed this goal for the year but I am so happy I did *another* project all the way through - this time with the fiber I spun completely on Turkish spindles and plied on my Starling. No pics yet but will post after blocking (I already wore it during my Shetland trip)

Hexiflats: I completed two more, from Shetland yarn I bought at a local maker! https://www.paparwark.co.uk/west-lynne-wool/

Fiber Goals 2026 Update: i skipped an end-of-April update so I decided to just divorce these from months.

5+ minutes a day of fiber arts: my streak made it to 141 days in a row. Then, after flying back from Shetland, I was feeling tired, and I decided that if the time spent would feel like a chore rather than a joy, I wouldn’t do it. So I’ve been on a break the past few days. Starting to get antsy now and will be back at it soon. (1/?)

Celebrating two finishes today - the two embroidery kits, and the way too long intense edit mush of a large blog/FAQ website into docusaurus. Now, I can get back to writing, rather than reformatting/relinking/rewriting to fit the new structure.

And I feel much more confident of embroidering a dragon on my cat-ripped jumper front 🐉

Patterns are by Yumiko Higuchi, DMC kits needed 4-5 types of stitches and came with 6-7 full skeins with linen, hoops and needles.

My vision is currently borked but my shoulders sure feel much lighter.

I'm a writer. I make scrunchies. So here's some scrunchies & affirmations.
1. You don't need more advice, other people's opinions nor permission to create what energizes you.
2. Feedback is not a requirement to implement. Trust yourself & your process.
3. Don't exhaust yourself for the sake of looking productive enough.
4. You don't have to call your life's work a hobby, to wait until you have enough money & validation to name it otherwise.
