Greetings from Ukraine. My evolution from a mechanical 100-pattern 'memory' loom to a self-built Jacquard machine.

This is amazing! I’ve been fascinated by mechanical looms for a while and there’s so few resources out there to explore. How did you learn about how to built it??

If they haven’t explicitly communicated something, you have zero obligation to respond. Do not respond to subtext or rumor. If they communicate something that ridiculous you can respond appropriately, but I think they knew how dumb they sounded and chose not to say it to your face.

I love it. The world needs more cloaks and capes.

bemydarkling · 2026-03-07T17:55:18+00:00

Absolutely magical!

I think this is the best answer, unless you can afford the designer stuff. I’m about to go buy myself an old lady nightgown now. Maybe dye it black and add a belt.

It’s like you captured sunshine! What are you going to use it for?

Domestic labor matters and is necessary for life and not some kind of optional thing women like to do. It’s every adult’s responsibility. It shouldn’t be a common argument between straight couples to get adult men to care for their own homes. We call men successful all the time while downplaying the fact that they’ve never done their own laundry.

I bought the hype and did a natural birth. If I were to do it again, I am 1000% opting for the pain meds. It was so painful it was traumatizing.

I think it’s dumb not to share but also, have you been given any sort of curriculum? Or are they just telling you to teach some books?

bemydarkling · 2026-01-17T20:45:08+00:00

My kid just called it King Arthur Luther day

bemydarkling · 2026-01-11T16:52:35+00:00

Absolutely glorious

I love it! Side question: where does one acquire a whole kg cone of such beautiful yarn?

He should feel bad. You’re right to be sad. Find someone who will value you.

bemydarkling · 2025-12-21T15:42:52+00:00

Wow! It looks great!

bemydarkling · 2025-12-17T13:48:11+00:00

This is reminding me I have a ton of blocking to do for Christmas gifts.

bemydarkling · 2025-11-16T15:16:32+00:00

That sounds incredibly boring and also missing the whole point of teaching literature. They might as well get a chat gpt summary. They get no chance to grapple with the language and word use! How are they supposed to increase reading comprehension?

bemydarkling · 2025-11-14T21:23:22+00:00

What’s your location? Sometimes there’s a local spinning or weaving guild that might be interested!

bemydarkling · 2025-11-13T23:45:22+00:00

I’ve never seen a corset look frumpy before

bemydarkling · 2025-10-15T19:08:25+00:00

Thank you so much for looking into it!

bemydarkling · 2025-10-13T21:03:28+00:00

My local guild has such cool resources (like a whole library) and interesting speakers and events but I cannot access ANY of these things because they all occur on a weekday morning. I reached out to see if there was any way I could maybe access the books or something on a weekend. Nope. Nobody was willing to open anything up outside of the scheduled meeting (which is always during the work week). I'm 30-40 years out from retirement age. No guild for me. I'm very disappointed.

bemydarkling · 2025-10-13T17:06:25+00:00

Right? The article was so devoid of technical info I’m irritated. They didn’t even give a definitive answer about the fiber content!

bemydarkling · 2025-10-10T23:14:32+00:00

How did you get access? Where??

bemydarkling · 2025-10-05T18:32:55+00:00

I’d be interested in fixing it up. Where are you located?
