Monthly Fiber Arts Thread - February 1-28, 2021
February 1, 2021 | Diana in Wisconsin

Posted on 02/01/2021 12:32:56 PM PST by Diana in Wisconsin

The Monthly Fiber Arts Thread is a monthly gathering of people that love yarn and fabric of all kinds. From complete newbies that are looking to start that first project, to experienced fiber artists and beyond, we would love to hear from you.

It is impossible to hijack the Monthly Fiber Arts Thread. Knitting, crochet, quilting, weaving, general crafting - there is no telling where it will go, and that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us! Send a Private Message to Diana in Wisconsin if you'd like to be added to our Fiber Arts Ping List.

NOTE: This is a once a Month Ping List. We do post to the thread during the month. Links to related articles and discussions which might be of interest to Fiber Arts fans are welcomed any time!

'One Skein Wonders.' Infinity scarves I crocheted, this time last year. I tend to stash-bust in the winter months. I kept the cream scarf and I wear the brown scarf; the other two have been gifted. Simple Shell Stitch used.

An 'Infinity Scarf' crocheted with Lion Brand 'Harvest' yarn from Homespun, worn by my Miss Lucy, Yellow Lab, RIP.

Just beautiful. I love Homespun yarn. And your lovely Miss Lucy modeled it well.

The Homespun colors are gorgeous, but the yarn can be a PITA to work with - it splits sometimes and is also very hard to take out stitches if you messed one up and found it later.

I found a new yarn, 'Glowing' by Yarn Bee at Hobby Lobby which has really rich colors and is much easier to work with. I have two skeins of Glowing, 'Sage In Song' just waiting to become a scarf. :)

^^This is the color, not my own work!^^

Pretty....

Thanks! I agree about the Homespun, BTW! I’ll have to try the Glowing.

I’m in the middle of knitting up a new pet bed for my putty. It’s with acrylic since he has issues with wool. I’m using Bernat’s Softee Chunky. It’s firm, but soft, and is holding its shape very nicely.

'Elise' Infinity Scarf that I recently finished. Yarn is Caron 'Simply Soft' in 'Tweeds - Off-White.' 'Audrey' (my dummy!) models it, wearing Grandma's mink stole and one of her brooches. 🙂
