 It’s Friday! You know what that means Cosplayers and Geek-chic knitters! Time for another installment of Friday Fibre Watch! !SPOILER ALERT! For those of you joining for the first time these little recaps do contain spoilers. If you like to do things in order, you can check out Season 1 Friday Fibre Watch posts here . We wrapped up Season 1 of Stranger Things last time, so we are on to Season 2 today. So, so, SO, many great fibre finds in this episode, guys. I can’t even! In fact, I couldn’t even to the point that I’ve had to split this post up into more than one part... Got your eggos and bevvie of choice ready? It’s been three-hundred-and-fifty-two days since El disappeared and Will was rescued from the Upside Down. In the near year since the big showdown with Papa, Hawkins Lab cronies, and the big bad Demogorgon Joyce has gained a boyfriend (not the one we all thought), Chief Hopper has gained a daughter (not that either of them realise it yet); Dustin is sporting ...

Hey there my fellow cosplayers and geek chic lovers - it’s Friday Fibre Watch!  Thank you for everyone’s patience during school holidays. I missed doing Friday Fibre Watch, but it just wasn’t possible this time around. My new cunning plan, since the first one seems to be working out so well, is to get these babies written ahead of time when school holidays is on, so no one has to miss out on the fun!  Episode 5 sees lots of new yarny goodies for us to enjoy while we ponder if Will will make it out of the Upsidedown alive and if Nancy will stick with Steve or go for the brooding Jonathan. Personally, I’d go for Jonathan, even after seeing Season Two (spoilers, Y’all!), but that’s just me. I love Steve, even when I hated him, but Jonathan listens to The Clash and Joy Division. How can you NOT want to spend your monster hunting, hero’s journey moments with him?  I realise I just admitted there was a heap of yarny goodies to choose from in this episode, but I picked onl...

Hey there my fellow cosplayers and geek chic lovers - it’s Friday Fibre Watch! Ok so episodes 4-8 of season 1 are CHOCKERS full of yarny-goodness. I have to split them up into more than one post to be able to include all the goodies. I didn’t think you’d mind since this means you’ll be getting more fibre and more geek out time with me in this universe. This week is just episode 4. Also, it’s Plastic Free July, so please consider plastic-free yarns when shopping for your materials (For more on plastic in yarn check out this week’s posts on Synthetic and Superwash yarns). And don’t forget your canvas bag ! S1E4 - Jonathan’s bone white plain jumper Key Features: Basic dk/worsted weight jumper in an off white/worn white colour. 2 inch (5cm) rolled 2x2 ribbed collar, 4 inch (10cm) 2x2 rib cuffs, Set in sleeves I tend to gravitate towards raglan sleeves for jumpers, but there is definitely something to be said about a nice set-in sleeve. Particularly if you are ...

Happy Friday Fiber Fiendes! Do you know what that means? Time for the first ever Friday Fiber Watch! See, I had this *ahem* cunning plan. I’m a pretty big geek, my partner is too (lucky for him because his ability to talk nerdy to me definitely was one of the reasons he gets the title of My Mate), and Youngling hasn’t decided it’s uncool yet. Our home pretty much runs on coffee, love, and geekery. I don’t complain about this. My cunning plan is to kick my weekend off right by geeking out with you about what fibery-tastic things I saw in the fandom flavoured yarniverse this week. For those extra geeky and nerdy of my readers, or those of you who love a detailed, on point cosplay, I hope this makes you happy in your soul parts. For the rest of you, I’m sure we’ll have you converted before long. ;-) I promise this isn’t going to just be star wars amigurumi pinterest finds. Those really obvious fan makes are great, and I will include a couple here and there. But my tastes...
