#WIPWednesday

A Perennial scarf by Lisa Ross in minis purchased at Flock Fiber Fest this past year- from @reddoorfs.bsky.social and Sewrella yarn.

Fun fact, the minis from RDF were my very first purchase of that fantastic day. I am already feeling FOMO from not being able to go this year.

Happy #thingsonmyneedlethursday friends!

A new project on my needles, the Moonflower tee by Ksenia Naidyon/Life is Cozy.

Making this in a 60/40 merino/silk blend from Two Springs Fiber Arts in 'pistachio'.

I forgot to share this image of my new stitch markers from @soft-spoken.bsky.social !

They're absolutely adorable, and I cannot wait to put them to good use.

I made these squares out of a Scheepjes Stone Washed XL mini pack almost three years ago when I was learning Tunisian crochet.

They've sat in a closet for three years, and I finally joined them together to create a bright and colorful lap blanket.

Happy #thingsonmyneedlesthursday !

Working on a sweet and bright Clover Pouch by @s-knits.bsky.social using my January yarn club from Fuzzy Peach Fibers.

One of my thoughts behind this project was to start with a pouch so I can use it for all the other months yarn.

And a post about what I'm reading!

The Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher, currently on book 4, Captain's Fury.

This series is the kind of fantasy I crave. It's ridiculous in premise (Romans with Pokemon!), has lots of good-guy plot armor, and is deep enough to let me forget the world.

For every productive weekend of knitting, there are equal, low progress weekends.

Working on my modified mini Cablette by Justyna Lorkowska.

This picture was taken before I went back and frogged it so I didn't have to play yarn chicken.

More Stella Quilt progress!

As I finish the third motif, I finally get to remove minis from my bag which feels so good.

I also have plans to cast on a Sweet Shop blanket with The Fibre Fox's Colour Club arriving soon... I don't want to have two blanket WIPs at the same time!

Snowstorm Saturday!

A project that I've knit for about 6 months now- Stella Quilt blanket by Laura Penrose.

I'm using Sewrella's classic DK in the Garden Collection minis and the background is her summer tonal "Sea Oats".

Don't worry about those ends... I'm 100% adding a fabric backing 😉

Yarn mail!

From @newburghyarnco.com, a new NSW base, BFL and Marsham wool. BFL is one of my favorite fibers to knit with. I love the texture of it and how it wears.

I'm very excited to work with this- maybe excited enough to abandon a WIP or two..... 😁

This week has been quite challenging for me. Spending today in quiet and warmth.

May anyone else who had a hard week find time to refresh and renew themselves for the week ahead 💚

I thought it'd be fun to share the tools I use each week. This week- Stitch Markers!

Hello Lavender Designs- I love their clay stitch markers as well as their jewelry. The amount of details are exceptional.

I highly recommend this starter pack. My feed now has sheep on it. This is, of course, far superior to a sheep-less feed.
Hey, we made a starter pack!

Here are all the sheep farms we've found here so far, follow them to learn where your wool comes from - and for cute lamb photos!

We'll keep adding accounts, so if we've missed anyone please let us know. 🧶

Splish, splash my cardigan is taking a bath! 🧼🫧

Using Sewrella's wool wash in the scent "Home".

Fennel Seed Jacket is very close to being done! The second button band and collar is all that's left.

I cannot overstate how pleased I am with how this project has turned out

I've seen a few Snuggle is real owls on my page recently so I thought I'd share mine. I knit this in November and it has become my most worn knit item by a mile.

I used Explorer Knit Fibers Rocky DK in Balsamico and Sewrella Classic DK in Tortured Makers Dept.

Missed #wipwednesday but perhaps I can start #thingsonmyneedlesthursday.

I picked up this project from this fall between Sunday and Wednesday to finish the sleeves and collar. I find doing so causes me to have renewed love in a project that's stagnated.

Very excited for this yarn! I had difficulty choosing a color, as I found them all to be colors I would happily wear. I settled on Dinosauria for a classic neutral.

I'm tentatively planning on an Ingrid Sweater by Petite Knit.
The British Wool Collection in its entirety! It’s a non-superwash yarn expertly spun in Yorkshire from British wool. This luxurious blend of 75% Bluefaced Leicester and 25% natural brown Masham wool offers a perfect combination of softness & rich character 🧶 #handdyedyarn #britishwool #knitting

Fennel Jacket on my needles this weekend.

Only ribbing left on the body, and then the button band and collar.

This has been flying off my needles!
