#TourDeFleece today was a rest day but I spun anyway and will likely take a different day off. I finished plying my Blanket Octopus spin. As I mentioned yesterday, the second bobbin was a lot finer than the first. I ran out of singles from the first while I still had about 1 oz left on the second. I made a center pull ball with what was left and plied from the inside and outside of that ball. It’s been soaked and snapped and is now drying. #Handspinning #TourDeFleece2026 #TextileArts #FiberArts

My wife tells me that she would happily display her mother’s blanket on the reverse side, she says she thinks it makes a lovely pattern. I’m not sure I agree 😅 Reader, what do you think? #c...

@nprofile1q... Both sides are beautiful so it would be a matter of preference. For me, I like the regular “right side” better. But for anything where the front and back look different from each other, the most important thing I feel is that both sides look like something you’d be happy to see and feel proud of. And I think that’s definitely been accomplished in this case.

Reader, I am delighted to report that our swatch meets the gauge, so I can now carry on knitting this sleeve for my bespoke jumper in earnest! #knitting

@nprofile1q... As a person about to start knitting a sweater without doing a gauge swatch, I salute you.

(This sweater is simple and the pattern sizing has a lot of ease so I figure it will be ok if it’s a little bigger or smaller than the stated dimensions if my gauge is a little off).

@nprofile1q... It was about 13 years ago and I did take an antidepressant with stimulant effects. I am doing way better now although I have a lot of (probably perimenopause related) insomnia. I don’t fall asleep randomly as much anymore.

I’ll never forget how they told me results of my sleep study. They were like “well you don’t have sleep apnea or narcolepsy. You do have mild idiopathic daytime hypersomnia. That means we don’t know what causes it. Try to get more sleep and take more naps.”

Thanks, doc. That helps a lot. Well.

By the time I actually got tested i was much better than when it was worst (used to fall asleep at my desk. Or while in 1:1 tutoring. Or while playing the piano)

My comicbook is now out, and available wide in Amazon for all who want to learn more about #IdiopathicHypersomnia and love to support #IndieComics! This is based on life lived in the shadow of IH, what it's like in the ups and downs. There are also short descriptions of the symp Show more
