hi, a quick #introduction 👋
I'm Toedel and I suffer from #MECfs which has left me completely house bound and on most days mostly bed bound as well.
I'm an avid reader of #AudioBooks which leaves my hands free for making pretty things. #fiberarts #knitting #crochet #CrossStitch #embroidery

I just completed my first cardigan. This was very hard for me to do as a beginner, especially the v-neck and double-knitted button band. I’m super happy with how it turned out. And I LOVE the buttons I made for the piece. (photo attached)

Dearly beloved,
We are gathered here today to raise a glass to this sleeve swatch that is just 3 stitches and rows away from the pattern 😔
As heart-breaking as it is to rip it all out and start again, I’d rather that than end up with a sweater that fits the neighbours.
Still.
😭

Decided to reattempt #knitting my custom yoke design sweater sleeve/swatch but this time on 9” circulars.
I’ve forgotten just how much I enjoy using these, once you figure out a comfortable way to hold them you just go round and round.
Also, I still think they look hilarious in my shovel hands 😅

Right in front of the Portland ICE detention center. It’s my wife’s scooter. She’s there every Thursday from 9:30 to Noon with Knitters Against Fascism.
They’re a group of knitters who sit on the sidewalk with their signs. And flip the bird when necessary.

A little #knitting story:
Every now and then, whenever I’m knitting, I really slow down and be mindful of what I’m doing. Watching the needles turn a piece of yarn into interconnecting loops to make a fabric is as close to magic as I’ll ever get.
And It also reminds me of why I wanted to learn in the first place.
You see, in 1991 I was in Iraq and we were bombed to oblivion during the shock and awe carpet bombings of the first gulf war.
There was no electricity for a very long time and it was cold, so every evening we’d all huddle in the same room and hope that the next bomb wasn’t going to drop on our heads. My aunt whiled away the hours knitting to the light of a simple kerosene lamp.
I used to sit there mesmerised watching her while listening to Jarre on my Walkman. It was how 14 year old me escaped it all back then.
So I promised myself that one day I’ll teach myself to knit. And that I did when my wife was pregnant with my now seventeen year old first born son.
I made a lot of his baby clothes. My wife still has them all.
And now you know why I knit and why I listen to Jarre, both of them gave me hope that one day it’ll all get better.
And it did ☺️

Was in an online knit and natter group yesterday where I got to explain the concept of thr fediverse.
People seemed fascinated by the idea. It'll be interesting to see if any of them decide to check it out.
Are there any knitting/yarn/fibre arts related servers does anyone know?

Hello! I’m Bee and as my username suggests I love doing #crafts. I am also rather obsessed with #cats and am owned by 2 of the creatures myself.
I mostly do #knitting #crochet #crossstitch and #embroidery but I also dabble in other crafts from time to time. I intend to post on this account about my craft projects and I hope to meet other like minded crafters!
I may also post about #books from time to time, since #reading is another big hobby of mine.

Continued knitting the green Allegro Shawl (thneed) for a coworker. I have finished the cuff
I am making it with Berroco Vintage DK yarn in Scotch Pine (a dark, heathered green) that the coworker liked. The needles for the cuff have been downsized a quarter of a mm because the 4mm needles are in use, Next up is to start the lacey shawl bits with the 7mm straight needles.

Continued knitting the green Allegro Shawl (thneed) for a coworker. I have made good progress on the lacey knitting
I am making it with Berroco Vintage DK yarn in Scotch Pine (a dark, heathered green) that the coworker liked. The needles are now 7mm straight needles and the pattern involves purling across and then elongated knits back for a delightfully simple airy lace that knits up quick.
I will continue this lace until it's a little over a meter long.
