These are the Midsummer Dancer Socks, a pattern by Sari Nordlund. I used Dream in Color in the Slammin' Lemon colorway on the Smooshy Chasmere base. The yarn was purchased at @foryarnssake.bsky.social on the 2025 Rose City Yarn Crawl. I made the smallest size and they took 3 weeks to make.

Rose City Yarn Crawl Haul, Day 2: cross stitch, cashmere sock yarn, mohair, and tea.

#rosecityyarncrawl day 1 haul. I made it to Knotty Lamb and Green Tree Crochet today & grabbed a cute sticker and a skein of Always Be Kind Yarn.

I'm excited for this one!

Another Cascadia Maker Swap for the books! On Sunday I attended the Cascadia Focktails/ Portland Frocktails Maker Swap event at Cool Hand Studios.

I walked away with 3 new to me items: a Grainline studio Tamarack jacket, an Anna Allen Pomona pants and a Helen's Closet March dress. Cheers!

I saw this little light sculpture at the Wonderlove PDX food cart pod today.

😓 It's so sad that someone with such great potential can be gone in an instant.

Hi! I'm Sarah. I currently live in PDX. I've been sewing on and off since 2007-ish. I mostly sew clothes for myself. I also knit & crochet.

💔 I'm heartbreaken over the news that a plane that left my hometown was involved in a crash. My heart goes out to the families and friends of those on those flights today. I'm hoping there will be survivors, and I'm hoping we get answers about what happened.

Right!? I have so many questions! Is Evangeline dead? Did she have psychosis or some sort of spiritual connection with the dead? Why is Rose so good at hiding bodies?

I just finished Season 4 of True Detective, and I've got several unanswered questions and am ready to talk about it.

You rocked the hair bonnet!
