Met this cutie at Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. Canโ€™t stop thinking about him. Guess I have a crush on a Jacob sheep ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿงถ #mdsw #mdsw2025

3 finished skeins of yarn in a basket, bright green in the middle with two variegated skeins on either side that read blue/purple, but have green, gold, blue, purple, brown throughout

Had a plying marathon and finished up 3 skeins ๐Ÿงถ I think theyโ€™d look great in a project together. Would love for it to be a top, but not sure Iโ€™ll have enough ๐Ÿค” #spinning #wool

An orange & white cat lays on a raised bed in a screened-in porch. The sunlight washes over him as he sniffs the air, eyes closed.

Box with opening facing forward. Inside and outside is covered with fabric that shows yellow, white, pink, and blue wildflowers on a light grey background. Brown felt covers the top and bottom. Inside are 2 support spindles with some white fiber spun into them, and a tall spindle bowl to one side

Turned this box into a support spindle holder using Modge Podge, cotton fabric, and felt. Not perfect, but Iโ€™m happy with the result overall ๐Ÿ™‚ #fiberarts #supportedspindle

Grandpa gave all of the bank routing information to the scammers on the phone. Except, in this case, grandpa is the president and the bank information belongs to all of us.

Trying to manage my anxiety over the absolute shitshow going down right now by planning/starting a new weaving project. Hoping for towels with a beach/lake sort of vibe ๐Ÿงถ #weaving #loom

Finally getting around to hemming some towels that I wove months ago. Hemming always seems to be the sticking point for me. This one was the end of the warp, so I just used new colors whenever I felt like it and I kinda like how it turned out. #weaving #loom

Green is my absolute favorite color. This spin reminds me of spring, and has just a touch of gold sparkle. Canโ€™t wait to make something with it!

What are your happy colors?

We know Trumpโ€™s anti-trans executive action is creating fear, confusion, and chaos for so many in our community.

Here is what we know about federal identity documents as of Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025. We will continue to provide updates from our experts as more information is released.

I thought the pattern was great- clear and easy to follow. I knit a different size than I typically would because I couldnโ€™t get gauge with the yarn that I wanted to use and it still worked out and fits perfect. I skipped the twisted rib and colorwork by the hem, but otherwise followed it exactly

Socks eventually wear out, therefore you can never knit โ€˜too manyโ€™. Youโ€™re just protecting against future cold feet
