#FiberGoals update: 5 minutes or more of #FiberArts 24/31 days, better than I expected. Made a couple of hexiflats including handspun ones. Made some progress on the washcloth for my dad (plus giving him an already completed one). The main thing is the regular fiberarts work, which was mostly spinning with the supported spindles but also some spinning on my wheel and some plying. Very little actual knitting. Still happy with progress! #knitting #spinning #handspun wandering.shop/@consumablejoy/

The Wandering ShopconsumableJoy (@consumablejoy@wandering.shop)A few thoughts on my #FiberArts #Spinning #HandSpinning #knitting objectives for 2025 (thread). These are in order of firmness of commitment. These aren’t resolutions, they are more like “ideas” or concepts. 🧶 Do some kind of fiberart, spinning or knitting, 5-10 minutes per day, short goal so it feels approachable. Finish my first handspun project, the Musselburgh hat in progress. Make at least 1 and probably 2 washcloths for my dad, who never requests anything. (1/2)

So..... do you think I can make modular origami polyhedra, but as a crocheted puzzle and not out of paper? I was assuming making it from tiny thread such as size 30 and thinner (wafer thin surface), then using starch to block each surface and probably sewing them into a final modular crochet piece? 🤔
In college we had a project in #math class with this book, 3D Geometric Origami: Modular Polyhedra by Rona Gurkewitz and Bennett Arnstein. store.doverpublications.com/pr

Here’s a knitting tutorial by Susanna Winter for a double increase I haven’t seen before. I think it looks nifty!

Warning: because I read it in my RSS reader, I didn’t see the huge number of ad popups on the page. Just FYI.

talviknits · How to Knit Centered Median Increase (CMI) :: talvi knits.The Centered Median Increase (CMI) is a decorative double increase that turns one stitch into three. Inspired by Barbara Walker's "double increase #6", this method creates a series of small square-shaped eyelets framed by parallel bars. The technique involves knitting into a stitch, then knitting into the stitch below before knitting the same stitch again, producing a structured yet delicate increase that's perfect for raglan seams or lace details.

#Fabricademy bootcamp 2025
May 19→25

Don't miss this year's bootcamp in Brussels to encounter international fellows in the field of #textile, #engineering and #biology.

I am co-organizing it through the #fablab @GreenFabric and the #fabricademy team (@fabtextiles ).

A great opportunity to test Fabricademy themes and way of working through intense hands-on workshops. It will cover #biomaterials with #mycelium #fungi, #modulardesign, #machineknitting with the #kniterate machine, using the #opensourcehardware machines that we built, #etextile with thermochromic inks.

Don't miss also the #MakerFaire on the following week-end (May 26-27) with the Fabricademy exhibition of final projects and a workshop on #softrobotics.

More info on bootcamp2025.textile-academy.o.

Boosts are more than welcome!

I always have indecision paralysis when facing crafting options. Should I...?
- work on my ongoing thread doilies, 4 in progress
- create a border on a Handy Hands handkerchief
- finish the skirt fabric (t-shirt) yarn
- finish the jogging pants (rag rug) yarn
- make an anime character applique to send to my buddy in Portugal
- finish a Tunisian crochet headband with blue flowers
- finish making my dad's beanie in Oregon Ducks colors
🥺 ADHD, a blessing and a curse

🧶🧶🧶 Yay! The Mom Crème Anglaise sweater is at last done, delivered and mom-approved!

I learned so much making this. Lots of frogging back, switching yarns, switching patterns also. Settled on Valley Yarns Charlemont fingering and Cascade Baby Alpaca lace held together - dream combo. I love how the silk helps give the other fibers and the garment structure. Hooray, a #FO!

I was making this doily in size 20 Lizbeth thread (orig pattern for size 30) and finally found my fumbling guesstimation calculation scribblings I wrote when I made it the first time close to 2 decades ago (antique patterns aren't always straightforward). The pattern was from the old Antique Pattern Library nonprofit site. But when I checked last year you can only see the patterns by visiting the Internet Archive (Wayback Machine). #crochet #crafting #fiberarts #lacemaking

Partially finished antique style lace spiral circular doily, in Lizbeth size 20 variegated blue-purple thread, next to the pattern printout with scribbled notes.
