  • elenadee Knitting the bridge at the arts festival. I'm so excited about it!   6d
  • catgeek We should do an Instagram one. Everyone around the world. Knit a specific bridge or park or something. Raise awareness or raise money.   6d
  • elenadee @catgeek that'd be cool! Not sure how well we could organize that, but its a cool idea. Get groups from major metropolitan areas   6d
  • catgeek That was what I was thinking. Not sure where To begin though. Hope you don't mind I'm gonna bring @fru_sharp into this conversation. She knits and this would be her sort of thing   6d
  • elenadee @catgeek I have no idea either. Knit The Bridge is a project a fiber arts group in Pittsburgh is doing - they have a storefront base and had to get all kinds of permissions and such to be able to yarn bomb such a large structure and have thousands of contributors, some who knit/crocheted large panels and then people like me who just stopped by and did a dozen or so rows.   6d
  • fru_sharp Sounds like a cool idea! @catgeek   6d
  • catgeek It sounds amazing. It's something that would be great for awareness. @fru_sharp @elenadee I wanna do it! Haha   6d
  • elenadee @catgeek but awareness for what? @fru_sharp   6d
  • catgeek Something close to my heart. Cancer. For me it's female cancer. But could be for anything. @fru_sharp   6d

  • elenadee Red rose --> rose petals and water and alum in a jar for a week --> GREEN yarn?! That was unexpected! (This phone picture does not show the color at all)   7d
  • elenadee #yarn #naturaldyeing   7d
  • suburbanscifi You get better results with the rose hips. Most flowers don't yield colour fast results.   7d
  • elenadee @suburbanscifi hmmm maybe I'll try that next then   7d
  • suburbanscifi I got a sort of pale orangey colour last time, but I find weeds produce better colours.   7d
  • pamalajane I like it When I used dried rise hips I got light brown.   7d
  • cuppysmama Still really cool!   7d

  • elenadee Dyeing yarn with rose petals! The jar has only been outside two hours and the yarn is already turning pink. Inspired by @pamalajane   2w
  • pamalajane Lovely......solar dyeing seems perfect for delicate flowers. Did you mordant?   2w
  • elenadee @pamalajane yep, for about half an hour while I collected flowers   2w
  • pamalajane I have been following the method @ffrench uses and am adding the alum to the jar.   2w
  • elenadee @pamalajane I might have to try that next time around!   2w
  • pamalajane It seems to work. I dissolve the alum in hot water and pour it in the jar. It is nice to eliminate a step.   2w
  • bettyann Can't wait to see the finshed result. Do you have a plan of what you'll knit with it?   1w
  • elenadee @bettyann not sure yet, possibly a lace hat. It was really light the other day so I took @pamalajane's advice and put some alum it. The water immediately turned from light pink to dark purple, it was crazy!   1w
  • pamalajane Interesting.....looking forward to seeing the results. There is always a bit of magic in the process.   1w

  • elenadee Center panel for my cousin's wedding blanket. I think I'm going to alternate green and brown seed stitch panels for the rest of it.   2w
  • elenadee @gorycori thanks! I followed a pattern, not good enough to make up crazy cable patterns like this myself.   2w
  • elenadee Fellow knitters! Do you think seed stitch is a good plan or should I go with cabling in the corners? Casting on and now I'm uncertain.   2w
  • bettyann This is beautiful!   2w
  • elenadee @bettyann I believe it's calling Twinning Trees - it's on Ravelry   2w
  • elenadee *called   2w
  • janekaj That's pretty awesome   2w
  • elenadee @janekaj thanks! I thought so too   2w
  • snoopysteve Yeah, you could totally make that brain hat!   2w

  • elenadee Don't wanna get up and go to work....I want to sleep. Not that I did at all last night- must have woken up every hour. And what little sleep I did get was plagued with nightmares of my ex. So I'm off to work exhausted and upset, it's the best.   2w
  • elenadee @janekaj ugh glad you got out of that shit! Physical abuse is just...I can't even imagine. I dealt with a lot of emotional and mental stuff over the 4 year relationship, he made me feel totally worthless, like I'd never get anywhere in life and no one else would ever love me or put up with me. But what you went through sounds way worse - glad you didn't stay with him, for both your and Teagan's sakes! Neither of you deserve that.   2w
  • janekaj I can certainly say I'm a much better person than he is... he's just a waste of space...hasn't seen her or anything... just not someone I want to bother with.   2w
  • janekaj I'm glad you got out of that situation.. that dude is a total jerk to not see what he had... I would have set him straight if I knew about it! That pisses me off!... his loss!   2w
  • elenadee @janekaj I can't fathom being uninterested in seeing your child, what the hell?! He definitely isn't worth dealing with, and you're obviously a great parent on your own. His loss in regards to your shitty ex too!   2w
  • janekaj Yeah he's a lamerson and a half... sent him a few pics the day she was born and even said he could come see her even though my social worker said she doesn't think it'd be best and suggested I go under a different name while in the hospital... he saw awww she's cute, what's her last name?... I said it was mine since he wasn't around my entire pregnancy... Waited 5hrs before saying Oh I was gonna come but got into a car accident.... then waits an hour, says can I (key word) BRING my brother? I said no, Id rather it be people I want to be here... THEN after saying he was going to BRING his brother...says Oh well my cars messed up so I can't come.... No messages, No emails, No responses after.... haven't heard from him since. He's the shittiest person to ever walk this earth.   2w
  • janekaj That was long. Haha   2w
  • elenadee @janekaj that was long! But damn, he does sound shitty. And suspicious. I've met a few people at the hospital who went under other names so the dad wouldn't know they were there. He doesn't deserve for her to have his last name since he isn't parenting   2w
  • janekaj He's gonna have a rude awakening once I file.   2w

  • elenadee Shaving my head to keep from pulling my hair was a bad idea.....with no hair on my head, my nails are bitten down and a lot of my eyelashes have been pulled out. I'm making a conscious effort today to keep my hands away from my eyes but its really difficult. #trichotillomania #trich   3w
  • janekaj Sounds pretty intense..   3w
  • elenadee @janekaj the problem is I don't realize I'm doing it and then all of a sudden am like "shit half my eyelashes are gone"   3w
  • janekaj I do the same thing but not as much. Its weird cause its mostly just on the left eye... so for a while I started wearing false lashes but never to that extent. So its hair and biting your nails? I'm actually pretty interested in this now. Lol   3w
  • elenadee @janekaj well trichotillomania is hair pulling. I bite my nails a lot too though and occasionally skin pick. They often go hand in hand. I'm really not too bad, but I think that the fact that my hair is crazy thick helps a lot because it isn't as obvious as it could be.   3w
  • janekaj Is it something that comes and goes or something you feel you have to do or you feel "an imbalance in the force" ha I'm pretty ocd about a lot of things especially even numbers. And if, let's say, I bump one side of my body I HAVE to do it on the other side or I feel weird. Ha   3w
  • cityundead Ugh, I have that problem too. I have a bald spot in the back of my head because of it. Shaving my head didn't help either. When I was bald I just obsessed over rubbing my head, and then as soon as it was long enough, I started pulling it again.   3w
  • elenadee @janekaj oh I've never heard of bumping like that! Odd. It's a pretty constant thing, though I wish it would go away! It feel like there's a hair that sort of hurts and I have to find it and pull it out. Or I'll be playing with my hair and find one a different texture and it HAS to go. It's hard to describe.   3w
  • elenadee @cityundead that's kind of where I am now. The edge of my mohawk had a bald line and I wanted it fill back in, and I've had bald patches before. Aaaaand now I'm running out of eyelashes. But I know what you mean about the rubbing, I do that constantly   3w
