8 multicoloured paper cranes on a mustard-yellow blanket.

Sometimes you just need to sit and fold a little flock...

3x speed of me stitching the bottom of one of the fox's front paws. This takes a while, as you can see, but it's very relaxing. Feels like painting with thread.

Close-up of crocheting with different types of stitches in yarn that's changed from orange to yellow. Behind the current stitches crocheted yarn in blue, green and red is visible.

Cute little puff stitches in yellow. Slowly, stitch by stitch, this beautiful rainbow scarf is taking shape. This pattern really is a joy to work!

Work in progress photo of a crocheted scarf in an intricate pattern in rainbow coloured yarn. It is about as wide as it is long.

Here's another update on my scarf. I really love how the colours and the pattern compliment each other. Do you like it as well?

Intricate piece of crochet in white, purple, blue and green, with a green crochet hook with a flowery handle.

Update on my shawl. It's very slow going at the moment, but I'm hoping I'll get a little faster as I get a little more used to the pattern. 😅

A 2” embroidery hoop has a silver key chain fob through the screw at the top, and holds a rainbow heart cross-stitched onto white Aida fabric

I found this Mini Matchbox cross stitch kit from The Crafty Kit Company at @dyemadyarns.bsky.social and even though I hadn’t cross-stitched in years, I had to get one! I’m so charmed!!

A small purple spinning bobbin is 2/3 full of denim blue spun fiber sits in the palm of my hand.

My #TourdeFleece Day 16-17 spinning is this tiny bobbin of superwash merino singles for the @ PLY guild spin-along to make opposing ply sock yarn. This deep stash fiber is happy to be spun, I think! ☺️

1 tiny bump of pastel blue-lavender fiber sits on a teal corduroy ottoman, surrounded by 9 small bundles of spun singles from the same blue wool.

My #TourdeFleece Day 15 was finishing another mini-bump at “A Fairy Good Time” at the Franklinton Farms Learning Garden.
Kelley & Ashley from @dyemadyarns.bsky.social were there w/ a great wheel, which I spun on (ish) 😆 - POIDH in their stories!

The beginning of a hand-knitted, crescent-shaped shawl, with a knitting needle still in it, lays gray snowflake blanket. The shawl is light gray with stripes of dark blue dashes across it. Next to the shawl is the ball of gray yarn and 5 smaller balls of yarn fading from deep blue to light blue-teal. The gray yarn is held in a yarn sleeve that is pastel pink with blue cats eating sushi and Ramen on it.

My #TourdeFleece Day 10 was sidelined by a rib that refused to stay in its place… but I knit on my Lake Effect Snow shawl.

2 cream bobbins, numbered 1 & 2, with dark brown singles

a clear basket holds cream storage bobbins, standing on their end, some are numbered 1-12

Day 6 was spinning on the 3rd bobbin until my battery died, so I rewound my first 2 bobbins onto storage bobbins (which was going to happen sooner or later anyway). And a Xennial ear worm because if I had this intrusive thought, you should, too. 😉

I started my Tour yesterday by spinning the first 100 gr of fiber for my next sweater spin. It’s a discontinued fiber from deep stash and spinning like a dream!

A new dress for my tiny rag doll, from a lovely wee pattern by Ann Wood: www.annwoodhandmade.com/shop/tiny-ra.... #slowcrafts #cozycrafts #handsewing #miniatures #missthistlesociety #annwoodpatterns

Two ‘spools’ of fabric are wound around empty toilet rolls on a rod that is clamped to a desk. The thinner black stripe is being sewn to the coloured strip (sakura) and the pile of joined fabric spills to the left of the sewing machine.

Two layers of sewn-together strips (thin black alternating with wider bright patchwork cottons) are wound around a toilet rolls on a rod to spool off into the sewing machine where they are sewn together.

I overdid it a few days back and am laid flat today from that and the storm that’s about to arrive. But, I nearly have a quilt top now, not just narrow strips on a toilet roll.
