Fly Eagles Fly - Philadelphia Eagles 🏈

My husband has been an Eagles fan his whole life. He's now gotten the kids to root for them as well. I went through multiple rounds of adjusting this color to get a teal that passed his approval.

Finished the Musselburgh Hat. 🧶 is @makerwool.bsky.social Feline yarn set. Really happy how it turned out. Gift for a man at my mom’s church - he watches out and helps her and other older women.
A finished Musselburgh Hat, photographed on a wood table. The one end of the hat is a solid gray and the rest is self-striping yarn . The color sequence of the self-striping yarn is gray, grayish white, beige/brown, beigeish white. Four views of how to wear the hat - the gray cap with a turned up brim of stripes, a striped cap with a turned up brim of stripes, and both versions with no turned up brim - making a longer slouchy hat.

The Winter Sage Hat is now available. I was able to test knit this beautiful pattern for Briana Arlene. A perfect gift knit (like a teacher!!) I knit it using MakerWool DK.

Couldn’t resist this 🧶 set from @makerwool.bsky.social
Unsure what I’ll knit with it but love the colors.

20 Days Until Christmas and the cats will have a knit stocking this year!! They've both already slept on it so I take that as their approval. I used Briana Arlene's Cat Hat pattern chart and adjusted to make it a stocking. I think you could do the same idea for a sport weight 🧦

Black Friday Week Sale starts now!

These yarn skeins are high-quality studio overruns from wholesale and online orders. Some are seconds that didn't turn out as our standard colorway. Many are one-of-a-kind or limited extras—once they're gone, they're gone.

Color Development skeins are true one-of-a-kinds (or two depending). They are skeins that I was testing color combos, striping patterns and how colors play together. They'll still be beautiful self-striping skeins 🧦 but will be unique from everyone else's! Once a color is gone, it's gone. #knitsky

Newest pair of 🧦 are off the needles! I cast these on over a year ago but then got distracted by a LOT of samples. It was wonderful to get back to them. Yarn is dyed by Full Moon Fibres. You don't appreciate this colorway until you knit it and see all the pops of colors.

WIP Wednesday 🧦
I’ve been splitting my knitting time between two fun projects.

First up is Bright Axis by @tellybeanknits.bsky.social, knit in my self-striping Feline colorway. 🐾

The second sneak peek is a brand-new colorway! For now I’m only showing it in black + white (gotta keep some mystery)
