Weaver, knitter, sewist… give me all the strings. Painting, drawing and other things as well, but mostly strings. 
Queer parental unit, AuDHD, cPTSD. Mostly random thoughts and crafty photos. Based out of Naarm Australia, living and loving on land that was never ceded.

in other news...i made a knitting and crochet thing (well, vector symbols)!

this started because i was working on another program and got tired of trying to find/use other knitting symbols from pngs, etc.

so now what we have is a free, open-source svg set of the craft yarn council's standard knit and crochet chart symbols, with a little web customizer to recolor, resize, and download them.

102 symbols total — 81 knit, 21 crochet — plus a customizer that runs straight from github pages.

the cyc reviewed and approved the project last week.

free, no signup, no tracking — for indie pattern designers, zine makers, teachers, anyone who works with charts and doesn’t want to roll their own symbols.

contributions and suggestions welcome — open an issue or pr if there's a symbol you'd like added, a bug to fix, or an improvement you'd like to see.

future goalposts are more symbols (not just the standard cyc set) that include lace and other complex stitches.

boosts appreciated 🧶

It is agreed. I am applying for TAFE… I have to write a disability impact statement for my application. *Whimpers*
I got a soaking but also a stash of new floofs for spinning so win all round. Hopefully the rain doesn’t dull anyone’s day at the fibre show
I started with English but developed issues with my hands that hurt a load switched to continental which I find much gentler on my hands
I have 8kg of blackface Valais fleece. 8kg. I am a world of happy. And the sheep… one those guys are so cute - even freshly shorn, but have the pre pic cause that’s what I have
I hurt myself while cleaning today and I am so fucking angry. I woke up feeling rested and happy for the first time in ages (I have both fatigue and mental health struggles), and I was getting shit done, and somehow pulled a muscle so now it hurts to fucking breath.
Some finished hand spun merino. The green is a single and it’s plied as a 2 ply with a pinker yarn in the 2ply.
I could be cleaning… but this is more fun.
