Wondering about the fiber arts scene on /diy/.

Or just ask for help.
All mediums and styles welcome. Knit, crochet, tufting, weaving, even nalbinding for the 2 of you that partake.

Currently working on something for a special someone using this pattern. Important you only use pure cotton for this kind of project.https://www.sunnymanilaaa.com/patterns/p/bubble-gum-undies

Also wanted to share my plans for a Valentine’s Day sweater. I’ve been itching for something funky to wear on my favorite day.
Fell in love with the silhouette of this sweater (1) and realized this print should work perfectly (pic). Planning to knit it in 8/4 fingering weight cotton (2, 3) for a lightweight and breathable sweater I can wear indoors and out.(https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cb10-pull-n17)(https://hobbii.com/collections/cotton-yarn/products/hp-1002481-cone-500?variant=55227808579959)

This is my thread! It was made for me!This is the giant shawl I just blocked today. It's (mostly) handspun Jacob that I sorted and combed (I wasn't expecting the white and black to stand out quite that much), then there's a little bit of Shetland and Corriedale at the end where I ran out of black Jacob and had to fake it real quick. Luckily I had bought a super black Shetland fleece recently and had a grey Corriedale, so mixing those together got a decent match for color...if not texture, because the Jacob was smooth and silky and the Shetland is so bouncy it's practically a Down.The main pattern is https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/barnaba-shawl, the edging is from https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rumor

Has anyone seen Game of Wool?
If so, what do you think? I have mixed feelings, but it’s a good watch while knitting.

Taking a break from my Josephine top to get started on the Karo Socken pattern by Rogue Edits. (1)The plan is to knit two matching pairs of bright, punchy socks; one of which being a (most likely) late Xmas gift. This is my first time knitting socks and I opted to use two sets of Chiaogoo circular needles as opposed to DPNs or ML as I find both uncomfortable to work with.Using Poison Threads’ Lisa Frank collection in colors “Paw Prints” and “Turquoise Tide” dyed from their “sock sparkle” and “sock” bases respectively.(1)https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/karo-socken

I'm working on too many projects at the moment. Socks, a star-shaped pillow, a poncho, and this monster of a shawl in fingering yarn (picrel). I moved into a 200 year old house this year and some walls are slanted, so I figured a shawl like this would make for a nice decoration.

I took my band loom along on Christmas vacation and made a couple bands. The black and blue is Baltic-style with designs I liked, I think they'll be drawstrings. Then the blue and gold are tablet-woven bookmarks using the pattern Dawnish Sun from Twisted Threads

sister-in-law made me one of these for xmas
i'm trying my hand at learning how to knit now
i can make garter/stockinette/ribbed swatches at this point
today i'm figuring out increases and decreases
i'm starting to understand what i'm actually doing with the yarn and reading my mistakes, although i don't always know how best to correct them
any suggestions for first projects?

As for stuff I'm working on...loom waste? Hahahah, what loom waste?I got this off the loom, but I wove it all in one piece so I have to cut it up and sew it back together to make a blanket. Alas, I realised I screwed up the pattern at multiple points so no matter what the stripes aren't going to match. Matching stripes in plaid is way hard, so I take comfort in that probably most plaid-wearers throughout history have also had mismatching stripes.What I didn't do was leave gaps between the peices, since I wasn't sure how much I'd actually be able to get off the warp. So now I'm weaving a band to enclose the raw edges, and that's another ten yards of band (accouring to my calculations). At least it's thick so it will go fairly fast...EDIT: HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU DEFINING "A PAIR", CAPTCHA?!

Maybe a bit off topic, but I think pic related looks super cool.

Hello anons. My sister is really into all of this stuff and I want to get her a tabletop loom for her birthday since she wants to get into weaving. I'm totally clueless about all of this though. She has a lot of experience knitting and crocheting and darning and has made various socks and scarves and things so she's not totally new to fiber arts in general.
I want to get her something that's beginner-friendly enough that she can learn to weave relatively frustration-free but also use it to make something nice and not be limited by a very basic beginner/handheld model. It looks like a 4 shaft table loom might be the right choice here but again I'm pretty clueless. What do you guys suggest?
