Days 36- 39 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms- Lots Going on- just not posting

This photo looks chaotic, right? Well that’s because it is an almost accurate picture of some of the ‘lots going on’ in my life right now.

I’m still doing the 100 day project, but I have to adapt and adjust to HOW I do it.

So, while I am dealing with all kinds of things, I don’t have the energy to make videos or complete the pattern for several projects that I am excited about.

C’est la vie and Que sera sera….. so I will continue to design and when I have more ‘spoons’ (energy) available, I will catch up with myself and get those videos and patterns done.

And, until then, it’s slowly, gently, slowly…. but sending big hugs all round ❤

Until then, please go to my Etsy shop to buy pdf patterns for fun spool knitted projects:

Day 32 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms- So much inspiration-designing-designing

The ideas flood in, but it takes time to work my way through them all… and some of them are Happy Dancing Lttle Winged Beings that make my heart sing and some of them scuttle away like Nasty Elusive Nopetapusses scritching and scratching and scowling all the way to the dark nether regions.

Ah, yes, the creative process!

Day 30 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms- How to Spool Knit Irresistible Tiny Red Hats for Hope Love and Laughter

Would you like to make Irresistible tiny Red Hats to wear on your finger –

cheering yourself up in these challenging times, or for reminding yourself that Hope is an antidote to despair and cynicism

OR maybe just for a moment of fun in putting on very small finger puppet shows?

OR, perhaps to wear on your lapel or pin to your bag or backpack as a sign of community and connection, OR to give as little gifts to friends and family and fellow travellers?

Okay, here’s a video that I made showing how to spool knit an Irresistible Tiny Red Hat with yarn or fabric strips if you can’t find red yarn. Previously, I have made video tutorials on how to spool knit in the round, as well as flat panels and also how to spool knit with fabric strips. All the links to the tutorials and so much more are at my blog tottietalkscrafts dot com.

Day 29 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms- Small is beautiful

I have been designing some spool knitting projects that are very small in scale and I am enjoying working with small spool knitters to make them.

So I have adapted some of the spool knitters that Jonathan @distinctivewoodworking and his son, Kieran, turned, to make Small But Mighty Spoolknitters that are ergonomically delightful for spool knitting small treasures.

I’ll be showing you more about Small But Mighty spool knitters and the oh so fun projects in the upcoming days.

Day 5 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms-what are you doing? she asked

Hmm, someone messaged me asking me what I was doing with my 100 day project andwhy?

Well, first- I have adored spool knitting since I was a little girl.

Spool knitters feel innocent and sweet and oh, my word! Those feelings are desperately needed nowadays!

And, second: Some Family stuff: My nephew, Kieran is autistic and is really good at doing woodwork with his Dad, my brother, Jonathan. (@distinctivewoodworking) who carefully mentors him with the lathe.

So, bringing those elements together: We decided to co-create some nifty stuff, and it’s kind of challenging but inspiring & wonderful, too!

(BTW I’m working on tutorials on how to make upcycled spool knitters, too, because that feels important).

I’m having a blast designing vunderbar goodies for spool knitters & exploring intriguing small looms!

The 1st spool knitter in this series is my wish for us all:
