Spotted this over at Brain Pickings and definitely can appreciate that I am still in this stage of not-quite-there in so many aspects of my life.

  1. Love this; I showcased it in an article series I wrote for teen poets, on how to “start out”. (The trick to life seems to be continuously starting out, in so many ways, but I didn’t ruin that surprise!)

Birdsong workshop on Instagram
Pair Number 5 in my #year of socks. DK weight, pattern from @the_woolnest Sock Bible. #knitting #knittersofinstagram #textilestudio
A thing that I finished while watching tv on the couch this week. Pair number 4 of socks (for my sweetie). @biscotteyarns @the_woolnest #knittingallthethings #yearofsocks
One thing about being sick and on the couch is that I had some time to finish hand sewing the binding onto this quilt yesterday. I started this project 4 years ago, and it is finally bed ready! #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersofawesome #quiltinglove #textilestudio #textiledesign
I cleaned and tidied the pantry today, ordered more bulk canning lids for the season and pressure canned some chicken stock and some navy bean soup. Feeling really productive and ready for the real start of canning season in a couple of months! #canningseason #canning #pantrygoals #pantryorganization
What am I going to do with these? So many options! #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersofawesome #textilestudio
Finished hand binding this quilt today and now it's ready for use! #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersofawesome #textilestudio
Fabric for spring dresses to ward off the grey days. Plan to make two of the #rumidress by @christinehaynes with these jersey prints mailed to me by @threadcountfabrics this week. #isewmyownclothes #diywardrobe #sewistsofinstagram #textilestudio #sewcialists
Finally got something back on the loom. Weave structure is plaited twill on 8 shafts and fabric is destined to become towels with several different treadling patterns to keep things interesting. #weavingdesign #textilestudio #weaverfever #weaversofinstagram
Socks #3. Self striping yarn by @urthyarns , toe-up. Afterthought heel. I didn't really love cutting the waste-yarn to put in the heel, way too many things could go wrong there, but I managed to do it twice without any mishap except a dropped stitch. These ones are for me! #yearofsocks #knittingallthethings #sockknitting #knittersofinstagram #textilestudio
A return to knitting in bars! At the Gabriola Open Mic on a Monday night. #knitallthethings #knittersofinstagram #textilestudio #kniteverywhere
What will this bundle of string become? #textilestudio
Continuing the learning on my next pair of socks by going toe-up this time. Contrary to what everyone says I did not find it "easy" to learn Judy's Magic Cast-on but my brain did eventually grok it. I am doing these with an afterthought heel to make the best use of the striped yarn from @urthyarns (Uneek Sock Kit) so that will be another new technique for me on this project. I was not kidding when I said that 2022 would be my #yearofsocks! Why didn't I learn to sock knit sooner? #knittersofinstagram #knitallthethings #textilestudio #diywardrobe
