Re: Serinde lives up to her name update 29 May 2024
The weaving is tiny: 9x6cm. Not a lot of room for detail! And that's the point, really. Simplification is really hard. one's inclination is to put in so much more detail, but weaving tiny pieces doesn't allow this. I keep thinking like an embroiderer -- imagine the detail I could have included, even...

Re: Serinde lives up to her name update 29 May 2024
Oh, that's definitely true! When you work with such slow crafts (embroidery, weaving), it's almost impossible to give up a piece. You always think you can salvage it if you do this or that. The next piece is about light, for which I have an idea I'm going to be sketching out. If it works out, I migh...

Re: Serinde lives up to her name update 14 May 2024
Here's the first attempt. There is SO MUCH wrong with this weaving... but I was experimenting with a warp that was, it turned out, too slender for the weft with a sett that was also wrong (should have been 12 warps/inch instead of 7.5). Luckily, you can't tell how "sleazy" (by which I mean...

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
Thought your work schedule had taken over, which was why we hadn't been seeing you much here. You are allowed to collapse into a deck chair (or whatever) with a cold (or hot) something in a glass (or mug) after you return home on Friday. MIL being out of hospital is probably a better thing for all, ...

Re: Talking of socks
My son would never have a matching pair if he just folded them. Although, come to think of it, his socks are either black or white... so perhaps pairing isn't that important...

Re: Talking of socks
The difference with your sock stash, of course, is that you actually use it. I rearrange my wool stash, and occasionally pet the silk stuff, but actually use it? Heresy!

Re: Jo's Stitching 2024
Agree with Mabel. This is a complicated design by the mistress of complicated designs. Slower perhaps, but well worth it.

Re: Quilting?
No wonder crazy quilting is very popular! I guess I never realised the precision needed for these named quilt designs, like Flying Geese or (my favourite name) Burgoyne Surrounded. Good luck!

Re: Talking of socks
How wonderful are these?!? A very good reason to knit. I follow a group on Ravelry to do with a particular hand-dyer of wool, and the members make incredible socks (among other things; shawls are a favourite). It's a real skill.

Re: Serindë's Stitching adventure 2024 17 May
I thought so, but I'm always happy to have a second opinion. I am now over a quarter of the year done -- indeed, over a third -- am I can't say each day comes naturally to me yet! I often think I should take my time, except that I already stitch slowly. Let's just say I'm probably overcomplicating t...
