Watched a video where a girl spent a year embroidering a medieval tapestry and it awoke a yearning for needleworking classes of ye oldy times

needleworking a sweater for your close friend to wear on their travels so they don’t fall ill from the cold is so sapphic victorian coded

It's amazing where you mind can go while needleworking. Seems like writing would go hand in hand.

You should see if there are any good hobby clubs in your area (hiking, crafting etc)! I've also been struggling to make friends since I moved cities during the pandemic and the best thing I did was to join a needleworking club.

The online diagrams we all use are from tape lace (less intense type of needle lace) chapter in a needleworking book from 1890s(?)

To all my fellow needleworking friends, check out this WIP.
Stitch-the-News — Jessica Calarco
To process the chaos, I'm spending a few minutes each night stitching a news diary--embroidering tiny icons representing an important story of the day.

watching DEAD RINGER (1964) & extremely distracted by estelle winwood supposed to be casually needleworking in this one scene but treating her hoop like it's a voodoo doll of her worst enemy... HUGE needle, just butchering it, not even looking where she stitches...

i really do recommend you learn at least one needleworking craft. even just basic hand stitches. it makes your brain consider the way objects are formed in such a unique way

do you have any tips on starting with needleworking? i've kind of begun to wonder since the tariffs (ugh) are gonna drive up clothing costs if i should learn how to sew. even if i'm only okay at it, better than paying for replacements.

I didn’t know they had needleworking in Devil May Cry
