This week's lace project
I'm pretty sure the thread I'm using is a bit thick, but it's also going a bit "fluffy"?
Is there anything I can do about it?
Is waxing my thread a good idea? Or should I use another thread (thickness issues apart)?
It is a nice improvised setup. I am not sure I can help with fluffy thread, is it actually causing issues?
Thickness wise, it looks like this pattern would expect something like a dmc special dentelle 80. In case you are working on a similar scale in the future.

Does bamboo fiber? Like can you actually make cloth from it? Or when they say bamboo sheets they mean bamboo > oil > plastic > sheets
Bamboo fiber is rayon, aka a processed cellulose fiber.
It's classed as a semi-synthetic. It is biodegradable, but it does take a bit to make it. It's not plastic, but making it can have harmful effects on the environment if caution isn't taken during manufacturing.
SO, if something says 'bamboo fiber sheets', what they mean is 'these sheets are made from rayon, which was made from bamboo'
You can make rayon from almost any plant feed material tbh. Rose fiber, banana, ect.
Almost always yes. Fun fact though, bamboo does have fibers that you can spin after mechanical processing. If something says itโs made from bamboo bast, itโs not rayon. You can even buy it as fiber if you want to spin it yourself.
Oh for real? I need to get my hands on some then, I've not worked with it.

I believe I am onto something interesting with this. I am actually quite excited.
This is not stranded knitting, but slip stitches. In my opinion it is easier to knit with many colours using slip stitches rather that stranded knitting, because I get to knit with only one yarn at a time. And slip stitches create such interesting textures.
This is going to be my contribution to scrapalong 2025, even if it is not strictly scrappy, only partly scrappy. It is going to be socks.

turns out! when u spend time to knit the second sock. you finish the second sock. and then! you get a pair of socks. who knew!
tumblr isnt allowing to tag the person who wrote this:
but i want u to know that u have slain me where i stand, bc in the time that i have finished 2 pairs of socks (and i expect to hit 3 today), a single mitten has been languishing in a project bag. when i last touched that second mitten, i had never knit a sock before. how dare u.
i promise you, op, it was a self callout
in a fit of foresight, i knit the year i made the first mitten into its thumb, so i can constantly shame myself for having spent Ten Entire Real-Life Years having made only one mitten
