🐢 Making my turtle flap hat with @knitforwildlife 스레드에는 짬짬이 공유했지만, 인스타에 뒤늦게 모아올려요 모자는 세 사이즈가 있고요, 샘플은 다 나왔어요. 원래는 아이들용 모자가 될 예정이었지만 생각보다 실이 굵어 어른용부터 만들기로 정했어요. 모든 뜨개인의 현실이 그렇겠지만 😅 그럴듯한 완성작 뒤에는 짠내나는 작업 스토리가 있죠 식탁 구석에서 노트북과 아이패드를 펴고 구글 스프레드시트로 컬러차트랑 계산 다 하고 완성샷 찍을 곳이 없어 요가매트에도 올리고 얼마 안남은 꼬리실에 불안해도 보고 사진엔 없지만 무늬 한참 어긋나서 다 풀고 우리 다 그렇잖아요…? (나만 그런가? 😂) 이제 도안 작업 끝나고 테크 에디팅 받으면 아마 굴욕스토리 🥲더 많아질 것 같은데 앞으로도 팝콘 🍿갖고와서 재미있게 봐주세요 #닛포와일드라이프이야기 #비니뜨기 #earflaphat #charityknitting

Week 6/7/8.. at @knitforwildlife 🐢 After many attempts I think I am starting to get somewhere with my idea for the #knitforwildlife residency. I want to create a piece of jewellery inspired by the Hawksbill shell but without harming any turtles. I’ve spent the last few weeks trying different stitches, different wools, double knitting, 2 needles, in the round... I thought I found what I wanted and then when I tried to add more than one colour it just didn’t work.. I’d knit something that looked good but lost the story of the Hawksbill turtles - which is what it’s all about.. I couldn’t get the structure I originally wanted and I’ve had to rethink what’s achievable. Maybe this is why there aren’t many knitted jewellery patterns out there 🤔 The latest prototype has: - 13 Hexagon shapes - representing the shape and number of the scutes on the turtles shell. - White edging - this was a bit of an accident but I like how it looks a little like a net - a big danger to turtles is bycatch (fishing nets accidentally trapping turtles and other sea life ). - An idea based on the connection between the turtle shell and the lunar calendar is to have a bead representing the moon which can be moved across the bracelet throughout the year - a reminder each new moon of why you are wearing it and to start up a conversation about the turtles. I’m hoping once I get the right wool and the right colours it will look a little less beehive and a little more like something you might want to wear 🤞

I’m just about done with the first phase of my market bag design for @knitforwildlife so time for a little update! The base represents the 9 million hawksbills hunted for their shells between 1844 and 1992, part of why the species is in such dire shape today. But the good news is that conservation groups in places like the Seychelles and Barbados are finding effective strategies that are helping boost these remarkable turtles #hawksbillmarketbag #hawksbillturtle #knitforwildlife #knitting

Binding off in the best conditions possible 🥐☕️ I’ve reached the end of my first sample for @knitforwildlife Open Studio. I can’t wait to show you the scarf in it’s entirety. Now to the hard work of transcribing the pattern! Yarn is Petit Lambswool from @bichesetbuches that I am very lucky to be able to buy in person from the lovely @baptistine.shop in Paris. #knitforwildlife #bichesetbuches #lepetitlambswool #placeswhereyoucanknit #knitknitknit

Freshly knit and unblocked these are maybe the silliest looking pieces ever! We’re midway through the @knitforwildlife Hawksbill Sea Turtle Residency. A lot of my tiny sampling is done, and now I think it’s time to get some more lifelike colours to knit these up again in. I want to play around with which increases and decreases I use still, but I think I’ve got the shell and front flippers down, and the head is pretty closed. I’m going to pick up some tiny seed beads this week for claws and an egg tooth. Next up is the plastron (underside of shell) and back flippers. I cannot wait for my yarn from @sandnesgarn to show up so I can knit more eggs!! They’ve very generously sponsoring our residency yarns and I’m so excited to get my hands on their wool to knit up my eggs! My hatchling will be knit in @thewoolbrokers so it’s time to make some decisions regarding colour!

WIP Wednesday! Taking the opportunity to show my progress on my Knit For Wildlife project and to admire the amazing colors of these Biches et Bûches yarns 🤩 With seasonally appropriate needle stoppers of course! For my project I was inspired by the beautiful shell of the Hawksbill turtle and the insidious tortoiseshell trade that is threatening this species with extinction. I’ll be sharing more information and more of my inspirations in future posts. Yarn is Le Petit Lambswool in Yellow Mustard and Red Brown by @bichesetbuches @knitforwildlife #wipwednesday #bichesetbuches #knitforwildlife #seaturtles #knitting

#닛포와일드라이프이야기 3-4주차의 일상! 레이스의 실패를 맛보고 산 @sandnesgarn 피어긴트로 그날 바로 새로운 도안 작업을 시작했어요. 닛포와일드라이프 지원서 낼때 보낸 아이디어 스케치를 참고해서 배색 플랩햇을 만들어보기로요. 페어아일 가로배색은 많이 떠봤지만 도안은 처음 만드는데 그래도 그거보다 덜 떠본 레이스보단 낫겠지, 하고 엑셀을 열어서 작업했어요. 처음엔 반복 모양도 생각 안하고 그냥 그림만 그렸다가 실패하고 그래도 모양이랑 게이지 사이즈가 나오니 나머지는 금방 슉슉 만들 수 있었어요. 처음 후디였던 디자인과는 달리 플랩햇이 되어버렸지만 도안 제작하고 어느정도 뜨니까 한 4-5시간만에 끝났어요. 아 물론 이게 다는 아닙니당 최종 디자인은 곧 공개할게요! #페어아일 #배색모자 #knitforwildlife #strandedcolorwork

Is there anything better than getting great fiber advice from a local yarn store? Prepping to cast on my first sample hawksbill market bag after a stop by @notionfabric And what kismet! I picked the color before reading the name. Since beginning this residency, I’ve been so tuned into the way the natural world inspires fiber art — the patterns, the colors, the fibers themselves — and how slow creativity helps us pay more attention to ecology. Last slide for my latest test swatch of my scute lace pattern. Got the kinks just about ironed out…
