I have so many lovely projects to share with you today. We have knitted projects, crocheted projects, woven projects, and handspun yarn. It’s a wonderful smorgasbord of the fiber arts! Let’s start with Brandon’s socks. These are from the September club colorway inspired by the stained glass window in the Chartres Cathedral, Notre Dame de… Read More Show and Tell – January 2025

Butterflies are like flying flowers, and I love them. A few weeks ago, I saw one of the little orange butterflies that flutters about in our backyard all summer long. This one was struggling along the sidewalk, and it looked like it had a hurt wing. It was getting cold out, so I let it… Read More Butterflies in Winter
This week I’m having a preorder on Beautiful Universe. I know this is a favorite for many of you (and for me too), and it tends to sell out rather quickly each time I make it. Because of that, I thought I would offer it as a dyed to order for a change so everyone… Read More A Preorder on Beautiful Universe

She combined the pattern with assigned pooling colorways and stitches:… Read More Show and Tell November 2024

I also dyed Monet’s Water Lilies this week, which is an assigned pooling colorway. Here it is on Twinkle… Read More Fresh from the Dye Pots
This week I had lots of dyed-to-order orders to fulfill, so I took advantage of the opportunity to dye up more of those colorways for the shop. That means I have a veritable smorgasbord of colorways for you. I started with Afremov’s Farewell to Anger, which I now have on four different yarn bases. Here… Read More A Smorgasbord of Fresh Colorways
This week I have been dyeing autumn colorways like mad. Some are old, some are new, and some are variations on a theme. I’d like to show you the colorways individually, and then I’ll show you some sets you can put together with them. The first colorway is a new one called Pumpkin Spice, which… Read More In Praise of Autumn – Cooler Weather, Warmer Colors
