I should probably specify this didn't all come from that one mason jar 😂 It's become a katamari of fibre crafts, sucking up all surrounding yarn scraps as it slowly expands towards it's end goal of encompassing the entire world
So this kinda snowballed a little bit

*52* crocheted, knitted, and nålbound hats heading out to babies in need in Gaza today thanks in no small part to my partner and mother-in-law 💪

Russian joins for most of it, then for stuff that won't play nice with that like chenille I'm cheating a little and just tying knots 🙈
The beginnings of a blanket nålbound in Finnish 2+2 stitch from lots of random lengths of yarn of different textures and colours, next to a big mason jar full of random lengths of scrap yarn also in different colours and textures
Sister in law gave me a big ol' mason jar *stuffed* with random yarn bits and dog ends, and I've challenged myself to use *every* piece long enough to use (some are <2") to make a little cat blanket. It's fine so far but I fear I may live to regret this

A green and brown beanie-ish hat nålbound in åsle stitch with a band of Finnish 3+3 stitch round the bottom
I finished this the other day and it might just be the comfiest thing I've ever put on my head #nalbinding #nålbinding #craftsky #slowcraft
When you get multiple evenings deep into nålbinding a blanket only to find the yarn has been discontinued 🙃

A dark green water butt set up next to the downspout of a rain gutter with a rainwater diverter kit attached
After procrastinating for approximately 600 billion years I've *finally* gotten round to setting this up. No more having to trek through the house repeatedly to water the plants in the front garden \o/

The words "lord" and "lady" are etymologically gender neutral and I am fully prepared to die on that hill
Coptic is unfortunately one of the stitches I still can't get my head around but I feel like gloves in it would be lovely. One day I'll get there 😂
A green water bottle inside a carrier nålbound with macramé cord in Dalarna stitch
Naturally the only logical thing to do after swearing you'll never nålbind with macramé cord again is to nålbind a bottle carrier with macramé cord

This was done in mammen, but if I was making a pair I actually intended to wear I think I'd go for something thicker/tighter to help with the gaps :)
Messy since neatness wasn't the goal but I figured out how to do fingers 🎉

A worn armchair with a white nålbound seat cover made from macramé cord with a dog sitting comfortably on it, side-eyeing the camera
It took a hot minute and it's ugly as hell, but I've finally finished the seat cover for my dog's favourite but *heavily* worn chair. Note to self: never nålbind with macramé cord again
Also she really does like it, she just has resting side-eye

This looks incredible! 🤩 How did you get the sleeves looking so neat?
An extremely cockeyed and not remotely historically accurate nålbound military flail
100% historically accurate, I assure you

The biggest scam of all is anxiety not counting as cardio
I totally agree and know I really should learn it flat at some point, having just tried a bit while attempting to learn coptic stitch tonight I think I might kick that can down the road a little further 😂
TIL you can nålbind things together like sewing just in case you ever wanted to attach 2 pieces of fabric to each other while also making life more difficult for yourself

What are cats if not visible poltergeists?
A swatch of nålbound macramé cord in Oslo stitch
I don't recommend it as it's rough as hell on your thumb but you can nålbind with macramé cord

Meanwhile I spent part of today violating digital calipers from 90s Lidl
Yo my human is hella talented
A heated clothes dryer might be the most tory thing I've ever bought but damn if it's not worth it for the feeling of putting on warm pants picked fresh from the vine
Hello world, I am a person of many talents but my hobbies primarily revolve around tangling things; yarn, wires, code, amongst others 👌
