#FiberuaryChallenge Day 22: Giving Back. The textile piece of my work feels more like paying forward. Trying to teach people enough to be able to debug things themselves. Running spaces where they can meet other people who make things. Hoping some of it will remain part of their lives. #DHmakes

#FiberuaryChallenge 21: Sip and Stitch. Coffee. 🐙 ☕ #DHmakes

#FiberuaryChallenge Day 20: Finished it. Why we gotta do this today? I'm 3 days from finishing my dataviz weaving but not quite there. 😅 So I'm doing the opposite thing and starting my first crochet project in a long while, a blanket for the second-grader. #DHmakes

#FiberuaryChallenge Day 19: Color Crush. I dunno, man, I just like most colors and I like wearing all of them together. #DHmakes

#FiberuaryChallenge Day 18: Wear it Wednesday. It's cloudy and gray again today, but this is as close to gray as my wardrobe will take me. Fox shirt and Unicode archive pants (with giant pockets), shawl from summer 2023 road trip. All made by me + jewelry from @[email protected] #DHmakes

#FiberuaryChallenge Day 17: Project bag. Let's be honest, all my project bags are full of shattered dreams. This is the bag for knitting a blanket for the second-grader. I can't count, the thing is a mess and getting frogged. I also failed at a Pride cardigan I loved recently. #DHmakes #DHtries

#FiberuaryChallenge Day 16: Matching. My mother was extremely anxious about clothes matching, to the point of it being a mental health issue. Making my own clothes has taught me that confidence matters more than matching as such. My style has been described as "power clashing" & I love it. #DHmakes

#FiberuaryChallenge Day 15 (belatedly): Cozy. With only a couple exceptions, even textile data visualizations I make are made to be worn and used. My scarf visualizing the first 3.5 days of chat log with my girlfriend hangs by the door and I'll grab it for almost any outing. #DHmakes

#FiberuaryChallenge Day 14 (belatedly): Love. In spring 2024, I turned the first 3.5 days of chat log with my girlfriend into two scarves (same data, different colors), and now I'm finishing our two-year anniversary scarf. Textiles and data and love get all tangled up with me. #DHmakes

#FiberuaryChallenge Day 13 (belatedly): Fiber Friends. Maybe the best part of running Textile Makerspace / YarnLab is that people who are into the same crafts show up in those spaces and get excited that such places exist, and I get to make new friends. 😁 #DHmakes
