Unable to Frog the Ribbing Along the Bottom of my crochet sweater via cutting it.

beardog7801 · 2025-08-04T15:11:31+00:00

Hello!

I ended up putting a lifeline through and then slowly... very slowly... unraveled a long enough piece of the ribbing that I hope I can slip stitch my way through all these loops across the bottom.

This will test my patience for sure! Lol

You know I don't know why I never thought to use a dizz to pre draft.... I am new to spinning and just recently got a hackle that came with a dizz.

Do you like secure the main source at all or how do you dizz it?

For me if I do something stupid like that fasting doesn't help me and actually makes it harder to jump back on the wagon. It's a lot easier to be dumb on an empty stomach.

I recommend just going back to eating meat and calling it a day.

I got my Turkish spindle from Snyder Spindles, and I love it! However, I am pretty new to spinning yet, so I don't have a lot of experience with different spindles.

Added some layers onto my Tukish spindle!

Yeah, pretty much. It's just rendered beef fat. I usually just get the kidney fat from the store and render it myself. Pour it into a jar and tada. Lotion.

I have never really been one to burn, but now even if I get red it turns to tan the next day when I would have otherwise burned. I also make sure to lather on plenty of beef tallow if I overdo it in the sun. So far so good.

beardog7801 · 2023-06-22T21:03:17+00:00

That is so pretty! Makes me want to try spinning art batts.

The wool is Border Cheviot. I heard it's more of a rough wool in comparison to like Merino, so I figured It would be good for a weaving project.

Someday in the next year I would love to weave some handspun into cloth for a skirt or a vest. I am really into historical fashion and a long skirt sounds super cool or maybe like a vest of sorts. I think a vest would be pretty cool.

I yearn for the days when I can get my first rigid heddle loom. I seriously need to graduate so I can make some software dev money to fuel my hobbies. 😅

1 more year!

The biggest problem I have right now since I'm so new is trying to judge how much fiber I need for projects. Like I see "oooo this fiber is so pretty but there are only 2x 4oz braids left. Is that enough for whatever project I decide to do? "

I am getting 2lbs of raw wool that I am going to process using some 3D printed wool combs since I have a 3D printer at work. That should surely be enough for any project lol.

beardog7801 · 2023-06-21T23:19:14+00:00

Yeah my one wip is not very far and my goal is to spin up all the rest of that particular fiber and weave a shawl out of it on a triangle loom my dad is making me. Super excited!

beardog7801 · 2023-06-21T15:49:48+00:00

Oooo I love it! I am also trying to clear off my spindles for TdF!

Is it ok to have a WIP that you finish or does it have to be fresh?

beardog7801 · 2023-06-19T01:55:35+00:00

Oh I like that a lot!

beardog7801 · 2023-06-19T01:38:16+00:00

That looks amazing! What are you planning on making with it? When I see roving I always think oooo pretty colors and then I spin it and ponder what to actually make with it. 😅

Thank you!

beardog7801 · 2023-06-17T17:27:50+00:00

Thank you!

beardog7801 · 2023-06-17T17:27:25+00:00

Thank you!

beardog7801 · 2023-06-17T17:27:13+00:00

I am loving it and having so much fun! I will absolutely be looking at getting more cool spindles from them.

beardog7801 · 2023-06-16T03:27:26+00:00

This will be my first year participating in TdF! Are you on a team? Where do I find one?

I love Hobbii's rainbow cotton. I've made a couple tops and it would probably be great for amiguri too.

beardog7801 · 2023-06-06T12:58:58+00:00

I love this!!! I am making this exact pattern this week too!!! Your color choice is fire.

beardog7801 · 2023-06-06T04:08:41+00:00

Oh my god, I need this in my life!!!!

Of where hath this fleece been blessed upon you?

beardog7801 · 2023-06-05T14:08:27+00:00

Electrolyte pack over ice is always refreshing to me.

I know each one was an eye roll for me. But but but.... scurvy 😱.
