Finished a fun waffle-weave scarf. Gives me major "early 80's couch" vibes.

Finished up a red waffle-weave scarf from repurposed sweater yarn on the 3D printed heddle loom. #weaving #handweaving
Figured out to weave a waffle-like pattern on the heddle-loom. Pickup-sticks for the win. #weaving #handweaving #rigidheddle
Out of all my coffee mugs I dropped the one that made it the most funny.
Just gave my first talk on the Vera C. Rubin observatory since the first look event - it is weird and very, very exciting to be talking about @vrubinobs.bsky.social in the present tense!
Black and white scarf on the 3D printed rigid heddle loom. #weaving #handweaving #rigidheddleweaving
Second embroidery from last month, Litwick in DMC pearl 5 on cotton, mostly done in long-and-short-stich, with outline in outline-stick. #handembroidery
Finished a couple of embroideries last month, including this Piplup in DMC floss on cotton, mostly done in long-and-short-stich, with outline in outline-stick. #handembroidery
Made a "stash buster" scarf on the 3D printed rigid heddle loom with a number of partially used balls of yarn. #weaving #handweaving #rigidheddleweaving
Glam-rock scarf finished on my 3D printed rigid heddle loom. Used some rainbow yarn for the warp and some black with metallic glitter for the weft. #weaving #handweaving #handwoven
Finished another scarf on the 3D printed rigid heddle loom, maybe not the best color choices as it looks a little like crayon on burlap 🤪 #weaving #handweaving #handwoven
Finished a Totodile embroidery. 6" hoop, DMC floss in outline stitch for the outline and long-and-short stitch for the fill. #embroidery #handembroidery
New scarf finished - figured out how to weave a simple plaid. 3D printed rigid heddle loom is still holding up. #weaving #handweaving #handwoven
New scarf finished. Tried a very simple color&weave pattern this time. The 3D printed loom holding up pretty well, although I'll likely replace the ratchet dog as that seems to be the main point of failure/frustration. #weaving #handweaving #handwoven
Watching a talk about the colors of methane haze around Uranus. No way that doesn't sound cheeky.
Finished a teal & green scarf on the rigid heddle loom I 3D printed last summer. Textbook for scale.
