Second finish of the year and my first pair of socks from hand spun. The fiber is targhee dyed by Kim Dyes Yarn that I picked up last year’s MDSW. Pattern is my own vanilla socks. The three singles were plied during stream (but of course I don’t have a photo of the finished yarn). Still love them!

These are incredible Amu!!

Person smirking with white and beige tortoiseshell framed glasses along with white and brown long hair. They’re wearing a black shirt with red font that repeatedly says “we have yarn at home” in frame. Shirt is from k3lsb3lls. Goblin to the right is made of crocheted red/brown suede with a big nose and ears along with mossy green eyebrows. Goblin is wearing a blue crocheted wizard cloak and hat. Hat has gold embroidered stars. A small wooden crochet hook staff holds the cloak together. Chaotic studio in the background: pegboard filled with handspun yarn, a sign that say “local yarns”, along with various wall art.

Just a couple of odd goblins.

I mean… I could make that happen! Thank you

Thank you!

Thank you!

A friend of mine said the same! Thank you.

Ugh that is deplorable 😭

Two chonky rolags on top of a blending board with a carding brush. The top chonky rolag consists of blues, browns, and neon yellow. The bottom chonky rolag consists of browns, purples, and blues. Both rolags are made of various silks, angelina, as well as Shetland and Merino wools. In the top right corner there’s a black and white chaos basket filled with various fibers. All is atop a wooden workbench.

Left hand holding a two ply yarn that consists of blues, browns, purples, and neon yellow. The fiber content is as follows: various silks, angelina, as well as Shetland and Merino wools. Background is the white snow on the ground that will never seemingly melt away.

I blended up and spun ✨the void✨

A c̶͚͉͝ụ̶̡̆̊ŗ̶̏̕s̵̢͙̿ë̷̝̻́͘d̸̹̀̔ duet 🤣💖

A year ago today I nervously hit ‘go live’ on Twitch for the first time and my life forever changed.

Thank you for the support, kindness, and even friendship that has come about through such an amazing community 💖

🫠 OMGGG!! I’m glad it finally got fixed

Definitely worth looking into for woolens! Can also do this with rugs and blankets if there’s space.

Update: one hour out in the snow and a few hours on the drying rack in the sun worked wonderfully 🌈☃️🧶The fibers are all fluffed, soft, and smelling fresh!

Powdery, clean snow and temps under 25°F/-3°C are a must!

I’m SO guilty of this too! The comical
levels of snow reminded me tbh 🤣 Hope your woolins get a good dunk before winter’s over. 🌈☃️🧶

On the bottom from left to right: crochet fingerless gloves, hat, and moss stitch cowl. Up top is a crochet bandana cowl. These are being snow washed at the moment, the snow is covering aaall the colorful rainbow colors. All of this outerwear are made of my handspun yarns.

Two feet of wintry powder here so I’m giving my warm woolies a snow wash!

Snow washing is an awesome way to refresh wool garments. Gonna go back out in a bit to shake them out and let them air dry.

Just a heads up that TT is now under a joint venture with the US gov’t. The censorship and algorithm will only get worse from here, sadly.

Oooo yes! Thank you.

Thank you Kern!!

YES!! There’s also a crochet version now, if you’re like me and can’t knit for shit. All pattern sale proceeds are going towards those impacted by ICE in the Twin Cities.

Multicolored crocheted hexagon made up of various handspun yarns. Lots of brights and neons mixed in with blues, grays, purple, and maroon. This hexagon dreams of being a blanket when it grows up.

Closeup of my current WIP: #handspun hexagon blanket.

Comprised of yarns made throughout my nearly five year spindle spinning journey. The part that forms the initial hexagon shape uses one of my first ever two ply yarns. 🥹

Nearly a year later and am still feeling very much the same.

On the plus side, my now eight year old has since obtained disability benefits. But it’s been… a time… to actually get those benefits in motion. Here’s hoping tomorrow’s phone call goes well.

So happy for you Flynn! A great therapist makes all the difference.

Right! Easier to read.

Had German cuisine in a 365 year old fort.

I get that. Husband, kids, in-laws and I went the non traditional route for the first time yesterday. Everyone had a blast! I think we’ll continue this going forward, was waaaaay less stressful

The sky has been pretty cool tonight.

I mean… I’ll have a flail any day. 😉
