Oh fluff I am a yarnaholic too!

Hello Hello Hivians

Today is Friday and it has been manic but I wanted to pop this post before I get too busy this weekend.

When we doing our chat on Talk Time with Tengo I bring up the #edtopic from @mypathtofire. This week we were discussing ecency supported projects/prompts and communities.

Last week saw the launch of Photo-essay community and we were saying that there should be more collaborations going on.

Give it time but I thought some of the #edtopic prompts would be a great fit for that Photo-essay community.

This week we have Ecency Discord Topic: ART or CREATIVITY so let me randomly thread out my thoughts!

Actually Mrs T is the creative one in our household.

We are going away on a staycation next month, so we got down a couple of suitcases ...

What do you keep in your suitcases when you are not using them?

We well Mrs T keeps her yarn.

Then she start laughing, I am what's so funny!

She turns round as says that I have a stash!

Me ... The fluff!

She .. Yes, look the thicker yarns, they are yours for your hats!

ME .... Oh fluff I am a yarnaholic too!

Can you see the chunky labels.


This is my level of creativeness..

It is called loom knitting, the looms come in a variety of sizes depending on what you want to make!

Mrs T well she makes allsorts, look at these gorgeous wee frogs and their sweaters or jumpers.

Or this beautiful white soap holder. They really work a treat and they are great for the environment! So yes she can crochet or knit or show me how to loom knit.

Or how about some cheeky monkeys!

Yeah she loves it all.

She even wants to make video tutorials and all that sort of thing.

I said she should brand herself Mrs T & friends.

Me, remember I said I like to loom knit ...

That is my level, although the red one I made I sent to the States for Mrs T's mother as she requested it ... Verdict she loves it!

The blue one , well it works too!

The burgundy velvet scarf ... Yeah Mrs T made it too!

So there we go, some creative thoughts about our love of yarn and the most creative thing that I will be doing is setting a blog and video channel for Mrs T!

Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!

By the way next Tuesday 16th May we will be discussing the sloth.buzz project with @slothlyd on Talk Time with Tengo!

It may well be a Scottish Fest


All images and ramblings are from me the mad Scotsman TengoLoTodo unless indicated otherwise.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND DO IT OFTEN

Haste Ye Back!

Those are quite great creative skills..... Amazing if I'm to say.
Crocheting is really beautiful when the work is finally done but before then.... It is difficult for me 😅

I don't think I've seen a photo of you before other than your profile pic!

The soap holder - do you use it wet or dry? I mean to hold the soap during use or during storage?

Hehe I do pop up with a photo every so often.

The soap holder, for use when wet, use like a facecloth in the shower, it works a treat and as made from cotton it is so soft.

Hehe, a yarnaholic eh? Only you could come up with such a word, Super Ed!!! 😂

I love those cheeky monkeys, I should ask Mrs. T for one. Maybe she'll make it for me quicker than the blue hat that's still in threads inside that suitcase, lol

Where are you going on vacation?

A Scottish festival in TTT? hmmm I hope there's simultaneous translation 🤣

Going up to Orkney, a group of islands in the North where I lived as a child and can you believe I found our old house online as an AirBnB place!

So going to stay there, Mrs T never been up there, and I have not been back since we left so looking forward to it!

Happy new week Super Eli 🔵💙🔵

I used to make things like these many years ago, only I made them witches and wizards instead of christmas gnomes. Perhaps I should find some green yarn and see if I can make myself a treefrog mascot the same way! That's about the upper limit of my crafting skills 😹

Gotta scrounge some green yarn first. It's not like I'm going to walk into a shop and open my wallet... I'm a frog, I don't have that kind of wallet.
And anyways... I suspect Matilda does it better.

Hello nice contribution to the #edtopic and #photo-essay , it looks like you forgot to mention the #slothbuzz 😁.
So many tags to use these days with al those monopolly tokens out there.

You should help Mrs . T create her own account , looks like Mrs T could post in DYI community on how she makes those monkeys :) and keep up with that other monkey ...🤣🤣

thanks for posting and stopping by have a great weekend.

Even though the dexterity in my hands prevents me from doing needlework, I'm still totally envious of your yarn stash! That soap holder is brilliant. What a great idea!

I said she should brand herself Mrs T & friends.

She should! She absolutely should.

My youngest son once started to learn to weave - even got him a small loom just his size - but he ended up choosing pottery over it. I admire anyone who has the talent and creativity for such things.

This is creativity at it peak, Mrs T. is good with what she does and your are also trying your best too at least you're able to knit something for yourself and its looking nice on you.

Those monkeys and the frogs are nicely knitted, I know how to knit somethings like Bag, a cap, but I don't have the knowledge of how to knit create frogs or other things with it.
Oh! Mrs. T and friends??😂 that will be nice, and making a video tutorials will be great 😊



Hey, I noticed you used Threads back in March. The User interface works better now, maybe you want to give it another try!

She does great, and it is easy for me really, as I get hands on tuition for free!

Oh if you can do bags and caps then I am sure you could do animals too.

Oh yes threads, thank you and I am there with my leo alt @tengolotodo.leo

Have a great #lpud

Excellent creations with wool. Mrs. T is very talented, it's a good idea to create a channel for video tutorials. I liked the wool jumpsuits, they look so cute 😁
