Anyway if you've got nothing else planned tonight, my wife's turning lemons into lemonade by doing a free virtual workshop on dyeing yarn on YouTube at 6pm Pacific Time today!

My yarn arrived and I have to really hold myself back from starting the blanket. I'm still working on a tea towel which I started to get the hang of mosaic crocheting so I really should finish that first. I bought cheap cotton yarn as I'm not sure whether this blanket will turn out nice so I couldn't justify buying expensive yarn. Maybe next time.

Swung by Islay's Treasures in Hudson, MA for a few treasures of my own.
The pink yarn is from Blue Sky Fibers, and is a baby suri alpaca that I couldn't resist after I touched it. What would you make with 200 yards of this?
Merino sock yarn is hand dyed by local artist Wild Violet Fibers. You can never have too many socks.
The combed top merino is from Malabrigo, and will jump onto my drop spindle eventually.
The Scatterlight Shawl is officially off my needles and in the hands of my tech editor!
I can’t wait to share this playful mix of texture and assigned pooling with you all.
Keep an eye out : the call for testers will be coming soon!
Yarn: Deluxe Merino Sock (85% ultrasoft merino 15% nylon) in colours Pineapple and Florence

Q2: Has your making given you unexpected skills? Share that with us.
I am very good at untangling yarn. I grew up in a small rural town with nowhere to buy fresh yarn, so I kept all my scraps and learned to patiently untangle them to make new scrappy projects.

I’m preparing my newest assigned pooling yarn in the colour Pumpkin 
it might seem odd to some but I’m already preparing this yarn for Halloween so the knitters have enough time to finish their projects in time for celebrations. In a few weeks time (I’m guessing 2–3) I have 24 sets available in this particular colour combination. One set has two 100 g hand dyed skeins of ultra soft SW merino/nylon (85%/15%) One is in Bran, a new colour designed especially for the event and named after Count Draculas home town. The other is an assigned pooling yarn that created little pumpkins as you go. There will be a free YouTube video/tutorial on my channel so you can see how the stitch is done.

#Qwen3Coder: Most Agentic Code Model Released 
480B-parameter #MixtureOfExperts #LLM with 35B active parameters achieving #SOTA performance in agentic #coding
Native 256K context support, extendable to 1M
tokens with #YaRN for repo-scale operations
Qwen · Qwen3-Coder: Agentic Coding in the WorldGITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DISCORD
Today, we’re announcing Qwen3-Coder, our most agentic code model to date. Qwen3-Coder is available in multiple sizes, but we’re excited to introduce its most powerful variant first: Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct — a 480B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 35B active parameters which supports the context length of 256K tokens natively and 1M tokens with extrapolation methods, offering exceptional performance in both coding and agentic tasks. Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct sets new state-of-the-art results among open models on Agentic Coding, Agentic Browser-Use, and Agentic Tool-Use, comparable to Claude Sonnet 4.

I consciously decided not to participate in #tourdefleece2025. I just don't feel up to it. So naturally, I have been bitten by an obsessive #handspinning bug, and am starting on my fourth skein of fractal spun #yarn. These are the rolags and fragments of rolags I just finished spinning. Don't they look like carrots? BFL and silk, dyed with kool-aid. I'll show the yarn tomorrow after it dries.
Aaaah, fuckadoodle 
! My boiler leaked and the bag I had my stash from the last craft fair I went to was in front of the door 
.
So now I have at least 8 skeins of gorgeous, reasonably expensive, damp and slightly mouldy smelling yarn
How do I fix this?? Can I wash the skeins? How?
Heeeeeeeeelp!!!!
My third limited edition collection for this year was Garden Flowers. It was a smaller selection as the pressure to provide a new colourway every day is hurting me. It used to be not just possible but fun, back when people bought yarn but that’s no longer so.
It’s not just the economy (I know you’d like it to be) but it’s also the loss of interest from lockdown crafters, and a feeling that disabled people like me are undeserving of being paid.

Two collages of British Bird yarn - part of the largest collection so far this year - reflecting the surprisingly colourful variety of our (mostly) native birds. For those who would like to see world birds, I plan to make that the theme for next year’s yarn subscription. But if you love any of our local ones, those pictured have one or two skeins still available. #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet
Not spinning for the #TourDeFleece but I am spending some time updating my Ravelry stash & projects while the TDF plays in the background.
I needed a photo for my Studio Donegal, "Smoke" yarn that I got to pair with the leftover Wheat (from my latest scarf project), in some future, undecided project. Tonttu and @twitchydog helped out.
