A Day in the Life

Ta-da! My finished faux-Kintsugi! The cats broke my beloved @barbaradonovanpottery mug, really doing a number on it. But come on, it's a zombie dog with his true love, a dead squirrel! I love this so hard, there was no way I was throwing out the pieces. But the Kintsugi kits found online were a little more dear than I could pay right now... so some thick glue, some gold leaf paint... and an aloe baby that needed a new home, and VOILA! The soft twist of yarn. The cool smooth ceramic, with just a hint of a raised edge along the thicker parts of the glaze. The zip of the yarn through your fingers as how you have it wound for tension in your hands lets the yarn through to the project without hurting your fingers - unless you have a cut over that one part of your finger, and then you just keep going even when the yarn rubs over that cut and stings, am I right?! Knitting and crochet are tactile hobbies; you have to love the feel of things to spend so much time making them with your hands. When you think about it, what are your hands feeling when you craft? What do your fingers tell you, without you even looking at what you're doing? Starting on my Salted Caramel socks... I knew I wanted to throw in a cable, but I wasn't sure what design. I looked through Ravelry and alternately loved but wasn't excited about anything... Barbara Walker Treasury to the rescue! Let's see how this turns out... (By the way; Salted Caramel should be ready next Friday!) What's this got to do with HaldeCraft....? I'll tell you a little bit tomorrow, but the rest will have to wait until next week! What are y'all working on this week? I've set buttons aside for the moment to whip up July's late mug... I'm fixing a favorite mug that a cat broke... getting ready to send out the July soap subscription service (which means I'm also finally making time to wrap soap that's been sitting for a while, so expect a small update soon)... getting ready to cast on a pair of socks in a complicated but exciting cable pattern that will (hopefully) inspire me to finish a sweater... and I'm working on figuring out what colorways and swag to make for my artist-inspired yarn club. I've spent entirely too much time at good museums in my life and I'm having trouble narrowing down the three famous artists I want to use for inspiration! That's me... how about y'all? What are you working on this week?
