This is just an unlined mockup in cotton, but I have some leftovers of dark green wool from my old girl genius costume and they are already on my cutting table :)

per quale motivo quando si esce a stendere la biancheria in pieno inverno non ci si veste più pesante di quanto non si sia vestiti in casa, nonostante dentro ci siano 18°C e il termometro fuori vicino al muro ne segni meno di 1?
brb, vado ad abbracciare il calorifero

http://www.festiveattyre.com/2013/12/faux-fur-muff.html gave me the idea to add a pocket to it, and it is just the right size to hold a pinephone. What Can Possibly Go Wrong?
(ok, I'll try not to let the pinephone overheat, and look for some flask to fill with boiling water, as they used to do when muffs were a thing)

TFW you find blood on your work gloves just after using power tools… but then you realize it's from a minor cut from when I cut bread for breakfast (before having breakfast, it's not a good combination :D )

menomale che son stati salvati (uno di sicuro, l'altro si spera)!

(picture of two work in progress toe-up socks, one just past the heel, the other one around knee height. the plan is to have them reach mid-tight, or whenever I can get with a 100g ball of yarn)
Now that I've had to stop handsewing for a few days I've picked them up again, #knit the heel on the second sock, and then, instead of starting on the leg… two days ago I started this

( picture of a work in progress oversized hat, meant to be #felted)
why? WHY?
(at least, the hat was another project that had been looking at me for quite some time, but it wasn't even started yet)

The samples included two different reds, and when I choose them I had no plan to make mixes or anything.
Except, one of them was a very nice brown, and the other one a pretty banal red (that I suspect can work nicely for mixing, however), while I wanted something a bit darker, but not too much.

(picture of some somewhat irrelevant text in Italian, in various shades of red and brown)
And now, instead of desiring *one* bottle of ink, I want two :D
(but first, I need to use up some of the ink I already have. with patience and self control. must. have. self. control.)

Thankfully, there is still that pair of socks I've been knitting since 2017, and that doesn't seem to hurt.

(as for my hands, they are more prone than average to RSI-style pain; I don't know whether it's just them or if it's the computer's fault, but luckily now I know them and I can stop and change what I'm doing it at the stage of “very slightly hurting” so it's not a big deal)

while sewing by hand, I've noticed that the thread often breaks close to the needle and I've been wondering whether that's just something that's inevitable or I'm doing something wrong.
I'm already waxing the thread, I'm not being very good at moving the needle to different positions of the thread (that's something I'm trying to improve), and I'm already using the best cotton thread I can find (the other brands I've tried were even worse). I don't know whether it's relevant, but I'm using a pretty thin needle.
Also, as long as I'm using regular cotton thread I'm not worrying too much, when it breaks I just throw the broken bit in the miscellaneous stuffing bin and that's it, but one of my next projects is going to use fancy linen thread, and if I understand it correctly that is going to be even more prone to suffer friction induced breakages, so if I'm doing something wrong I'd like to try to fix it before wasting that.

First impressions, using the dip pen(s) I use mostly when writing at home.
The DeAtramentis Document line seems to be a bit better behaved wrt line widening than both the R&K SketchInk and the only Noodler's I have (Polar Blue), but they still do it a bit. This one (in black) earned a chance to be tried in my preppy 02 when it will be inked next time.
The nice thing is that they make a lot of colours, and that they can be mixed (the horrible thing it that they make a lot of colours and now I need them ALL). The Red Grey is a pretty nice brown, the Red is a bit too light (but maybe with a bit of Red Grey it can be improved).
I didn's see much difference between the R&K Documentus and the Sketch Ink (but I don't have the Lotte, maybe this one is a deeper black).
The iron gall ones from KWZ act just as I expect an iron gall ink to do, which is good (but also means that they have a colour component that doesn't survive contact with water). The Red #3 is much more purple than I expected from the pictures, however, so I'm happy I only bought a sample, otherwise I would now have 3 purple / black iron gall inks that are very similar to each other.
To be continued as I use them a bit more…

I'm interested in doing CMYK color mixing with De Atramentis Document inks (when my 4.5oz bottle of Heart of Darkness is used up), so I'm curious to know your thoughts on them.
