Fibre Arts Friday Resurrection

Many years ago I used to keep a blog themed Fibre Arts Friday, there were a few of us who each blogged about our fibre arts pursuits on Fridays. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed reading what other people were up to in their creative world. However for some reason or another it gradually got petered out and I often wondered what happened to my fellow bloggers, but I haven’t been back to Blogger for years and, as time goes by I became scared to go back there for I fear my blog might resent me for neglecting it. I do like the opportunity to talk more in detail about my fibre-ry projects so I hereby decide to revive Fibre Arts Friday for me, on this new blog on my website. I hope you will join me on my journey and share your projects and makes.

So for the inaugural resurrection of Fibre Arts Friday I will show and tell a few projects I’ve working on in the past couple of weeks, these projects are very much live WIPs, as opposed to the many other WIPs that I periodically work on and not quite UFOs yet 😆

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you might have seen me posting about these projects, first up:

The Crocdidilly Wrap

Test Crochet for Pretty Twisted Knots I’m nearly at the halfway point, using my hand dyed Kidsilk Lace in the colourway Athena for this part.

I am also working on another test - this one is a new collaboration between myself and the talented knitwear designer Dominique Trad - a beautiful relaxed knit of crescent shaped shawl with alternating garter stripes and easy lace panels:

I am busy dyeing up different colour combos for this shawl and Dom and I will be offering Moondancer Shawl Kits in November.

And finally, last but not least, of course I couldn’t resist the Westknits Mystery Knitalong 2021: Shawlography. Unless you haven’t been on social media in the fibre world you could not avoid seeing the thousands of projects in this MKAL. I have knit a few Westknits designs and I love the way Stephen brings fun and zest into knitting, his patterns are always well thought out, clear and easy to follow. We are currently in week 2 of the MKAL and I am having so much fun! I’m loving all the colour interactions and different techniques, it’s certainly very engaging 😍

Phew! I think that’s me for now, looking at these WIPs makes me realise how busy I’d been and you will be excused to think I might be a little obsessed 😂

What have you been working on? I’d love to see your WIPs, UFOs and of course FOs 😃
