Hey webdevs
do you see any major advantage of #yarn vs #npm or is it just a matter of taste?

I have been seeing these crochet coaster sets all over the place suddenly. Leaves, then you put them in a crochet pot to look like leaves in a pot. I got stuck on the idea that you could make them look like flowers. I used buttons so you can attach them to the stems and stand them up in a vase. And that is how I spent my day :)

A trio of pictures. The top one is a screen shot of a google image search of leaf coasters with a pot. The bottom two are four colorful flower coasters I crocheted. They are attached to green stems via an orange button.  Two are laying next the stems, one with a Red Sox coffee mug sitting on it. #GoSox

"Magnolia Crochet Beret" by #designer Lyudmila Hefny from #ukraine

I love magnolias - I'd love to have a tree, but my yard is tiny and those trees get huuuuge. The shape of the flower is beautifully reflected in this design.

My #knitting project for any online conference I have to be part of ... With a look on my calender, they'll be finished by the weekend at the latest.

@knitting @fiberarts #sockknitters #sockknitting #fibercraft #wool #yarn

Sock knitting project with on sock already finished and the second about 3/4 finished - only part of the foot and the toe is missing. They are laid out on a computer keyboard. Colors of the socks are short lengths of gold, orange, purple, aqua and turquoise.

it's the exact opposite of how I enjoy traveling (on the rare occasion I get to travel)

I like going to a city and basically living like the locals. when I went to #Portland for a weekend, I found the most magical #yarn store called Yarnia, where I was able to kind of build a custom yarn. like that's going to stay with me forever

the tourist trap shops in Mexico that we stopped at on the cruise? I went to several, and they all blend together. completely unmemorable

The pattern is Just Dream https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/just-dream and I'm using quite large needles compared to my usual projects - 4.0 mm. Upside: much faster progess. Downside: awkward knitting (for me).

It's Finkhof yarn https://finkhof.de/wolle/wollgarne/strickwolle-duenn/-Southgerman merino. Much less soft than usual merino, but a local wool.

Cardigan - washed and blocked.

It rained today, so no chance of taking pictures with good light. But it fits well enough. And it's obvious that the box pleat in the back needs some help to stay in shape.

The rework of the center back really worked and I like the symmetry of colors and that the v-shape is really visible.

All in all I'm pleased with the outcome. And there's still quite a bit of #yarn left.

Technically still a WIP - so #WIPWednesday it is.

The #cardigan is in it's final stages - ends need to be woven in, then a turn in the (handwash setting of the) washing machine (why yes, I put all my #handknits in the machine) and some blocking although that will mostly be laying out everything flat and pull into shape, no stretching out. I might need an iron in the end, to sharpen the creases of the box pleat.

Tomorrow or friday it should be finished.

#SouvenirYarn

Whenever I travel I try to pick up a ball of (sock) yarn as a memory for the holiday. I might buy a local yarn (if that's possible). Or try to shop at a exceptionally nice store. Or search for colors that remind me of where I was.

Or I just ask my SO what colors he would like to have socks. They are usually very colorful.

Are others also buying souvenir yarn?

The bind off on this shawl was pretty neat because it involved something like a 24 row lace pattern that ended with knitting the last stitch with a stitch off the end of the shawl so it was. The result is this decorated edge that resembled leaves. I had enough yarn left for the lace edge to be contain the same colors as the rest of the shawl.

I didn’t break apart the braid of fiber on any specific way, I just spun as it was and plied it from both ends of the single ply. The second picture shows the yarn on a niddy-noddy which I used to bundle up and skein my completed yarn. #handspun #HandspunYarn #spinning #knitting #yarn #FiberArts #fiberuary

The yarn is wrapped around each of the cross bars on a spiral pattern so it’s wound in a continuous circle

Spent the end of last week helping our frontend devs speed up their build/test/deploy times. I'm a bit rusty on #typescript and #javascript in general but it seems every year these systems add another layer of complexity. It's been a fun couple of days though poking around #yarn #webpack and #jest and hopefully the team are happy with significantly faster builds.

Hmm... Miscalculated how much yarn I needed for this crochet throw. Ran out of the green and of course it's a discontinued colour. Can't decide if I like the brown, if I should switch the stitch pattern, and/or if I should have brown on either side or just one.

Currently just a few rows as a test. Need to add another 15-20" or so. Currently about 45".

Green crocheted throw blanket with a diamond stitch texture stretched out on a parquet floor. It's approximately 4 foot square. On the right side a few rows of brown yarn have completed a test swatch if the color transition.

Feature branch: delete yarn.lock, yarn install && yarn run test - tests fail

Master/main: rm -rf node_modules && yarn install & yarn run test - ONE test fails

CI: tests pass

I have an old hand spun, hand woven, gorgeous blanket passed down in my family that needs darning, and I’d like to try to make it not too visible.

I am certain it’s natural dye, given the style of the blanket in general, and my suspicion is that it’s cochineal. It’s a singles yarn, and it looks to be fingering or sport weight. Anyone have a favorite dyer who works with natural dyes?

Working on some shiny new #yarn colourways coming to bluebellyarns.co.uk on Wednesday at 7pm!

A twisted skein of pink and yellow-green variegated yarn sits on top of a loose skein in the same colours.

So I finally figured out how to deal with some mystery slowness during file extraction in #orogene, and managed to get full extraction working and it is:

👉🏻 4x faster than #pnpm
👉🏻 4x faster than #yarn
👉🏻 3x faster than #npm

...and these are just some initial numbers! There's still some stuff I'm sure I haven't tried to do yet that could bump that further.

On my machine, this means it can fully resolve and install a react app in 11 seconds.

v v exciting results so far.

I've published a #knitting pattern yesterday - let me present: Alnus Cowl.

Pattern is here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/alnus-cowl or here: https://ko-fi.com/s/7f1c4c5c03

It's free!

I got a tangled skein from a hand dyer friend of mine. When it was untangeld, my daughter claimed it and I created the cowl. I think it's so beautiful, I wanted to share it with everyone.

Let me know what you think of it.

INFINITY.

Apparently that is the answer to “how many times will it take before I learn not to try winding #yarn by hand?”

For #fiberuary #TextureWeek: the #crochet Copenhagen jacket designed by Tammy Hildebrand and with added cables for working with thinner #yarn. The yarn is #finnsheep bought at purewol.nl that sells yarn and #fibre from their own flocks of #sheep. The pattern is available on archive.org:

I'm not sure if I'm too late for #fiberuary week one -- Color -- but I've got out my yarn purchases from last years Wisconsin Sheep And Wool.

First photo are the two yarns I'm looking for a pattern for today, last photo is all the yarns I purchased, roughly clumped.

It's been ages since I've knit and I've wanted to get back into knitting, sooooo.

The two yarns I've chosen are matching, both DK semisolid BFL from Ewetopia ("BFL BFF") in Tree Swallow and Silver.

#knitting #yarn #squish #color #craft #fiberarts

Two yarns are next to each other. Both are similar weight and are semi-solid, DK, wool (blue-faced leicester). One is a deep green teal, and the other is a warm silvery color.
Six skeins of yarn are spread out on a white sheet. 

The first two are heavily saturated laceweight yarns; the first one is a variegated blend of red, orange, and purple, with hints of stripes hidden throughout. Its pair is bright vivid yellows and golds. Both have some striping plied in.

The next two are the teal and silver from the first picture.

The next yarn is complicated: it looks gradated along the skein from high-chrome blues to pale almost dusty pinks, with a vivid gold in the center. Throughout are chunks of yarn that are barber-poled with deep black yarn.

The last yarn looks soft and deep, and is a deep, warm semi-solid black, with lighter shades of purple peeking out.

I've been hearing about PNPM for ages now but never had the opportunity to use it on a project.

Before I do though, I want to know what are the pitfalls or reasons not to use it?

I am saying good bye to my followers on the other site, after deleting all my posts... it feels weird.
I had a good time there before it went the wrong way, and made friends along the line. I am going to miss them... Odly they don't want to come over - having a hard time letting go I suppose.
I can't compromise. My business is taking it badly but my principles are stronger. I will find a way!

#Color #Crochet for #fiberuary

Rainbow is one of my favorite color combinations. Whenever I see them, they just cheer me up and so I have made quite a selection of rainbow colored projects over the years.

This is a baby blanket, still waiting for a recipient - but one day the right baby will come along.

The theme for week one of #Fiberuary is colour, and today I want to show off natural colour.

These are all natural colours of sheep's wool. There are loads more, especially as these are only from British sheep, but they're a good example of the colour variation that can be found.

I used three shades of Jacob #yarn in the #knitting shown.

Woo hoo, it’s 5 minutes after midnight, time for #fiberuary in all its wooly glory!

Here’s some of my handspun! :) BFL I assume (this is a year old). I use a Louet (Scotch tension) most of the time, but go to drop spindles whenever the mood strikes (though I prefer chain plying so I tend to stick to the wheel).

Jupiter wants to #crochet more socks, so we ran to the #yarn store. As we were walking back to the car they were bouncing and grinning and saying, “I have so much yarn now!!”

I couldn’t help laughing, “Oh babe I love that you think that’s So Much Yarn,” and they were like “Yes, it’s nothing next to your hoard.” Greg heard Jupe’s exclamation and laughed and rolled his eyes, “Yes I have never SEEN so much yarn all in one place,” waggling his eyebrows at me.

I’m looking forward to #fiberuary

Hey, fiber & yarn folks, what are your blogs’ RSS feeds, and do you list the feed address on your blog so people can see it? (Typing “feed” or “RSS” at the end of the blog URL only works sometimes.)

I have too much heavy hair for a hat to fit comfortably, so I made an ear warmer!

🔥💜🔥

Disclaimer: This yarn is from Hobby Lobby, but I didn't buy it. My Christian MIL bought it for her purposes, but she gave up on her project and offloaded the yarn onto me.

It's a nightmare to work with, but it's kind of fluffy, so I put it to use.

Under no circumstances should you give money to Hobby Lobby.

CW: No direct eye contact, but censored anyway, just in case.

#Crochet #FiberArt #Yarn #Crafts

I'm wearing a semi-fuzzy crochet lavender ear warmer with ruffles around the top. There are random streaks of purple and light green in the yarn. It very vaguely looks like a crown. My hair is in a high ponytail through the top of the ear warmer, and it all flows over one shoulder
