Are we doing Blazers Blue Sky?!? NBA Blue Sky?!? Maybe yes? Please don't make me go back to the other place. I hate it there.

Can't stop, won't stop tangling herself up in yarn.

The setting is super easy to use and has made me a much better poster. Highly recommend it!

When the comfort of snuggling a project bag outweighs the irritating tickle of the yarn pull. 🧢

I think I'm an ankle sock convert. At least for cozy, comfort, vacation snuggling.🧢

It's super simple colorwork and I've graded it for 4 sizes. If your size isn't there, just let me know and I'll send you instructions to modify it!

Am I posting a picture of my dog, in a sweater I designed and knit for him, for attention? Yep. Yup. I sure am. 🧢

I'm lucky enough to work with some amazing dyers and woodworking artisans, so I took advantage and created a beautiful new pattern. Once the dyer has revealed the colorway, I will too! 🧢

I've been playing with coffee art lately. I find my attempts may not be exactly on the mark, but they are a good Rorschach test. What do you see?

Joining the knitting soapbox trend. If you can knit, purl, follow well written instructions, and have the desire, you can knit ANYTHING.
