I spent some time this weekend playing with the dyepot. All colors were obtained using various food coloring. The sock blank is doubled DK sock yarn loosely crocheted, and will became matching socks for Wool-aid. #handdyed 🧶 #yarn #sockblank

…and the scarf is finished! The weft was dyed and spun by me. I love how the color shifts throughout this scarf. It has been added to my Wool-aid pile waiting for my next shipment. #woolaid #handdyed #handspun #weaving #rigidheddleloom 🧶

My bright and funky hand-dyed handspun yarn is becoming a woven scarf! 🧶 #weaving #handspun #rigidheddleloom #woolaid

Lunch today consists of leftover BBQ chicken, mosaic crochet squares, and Dandelion Wine. Why have I never listened to Ray Bradbury before? This book is so poetic. #crochet #mosaiccrochet 🧶 #audiobooks #raybradbury

I like to weave my worsted scraps on a 4” Zoom Loom to use them up. Once I have enough, I will join them together into a colorful blanket. I now have 50 squares - halfway to a baby sized blanket. #zoomloom #pinloom #weaving #scrapblanket 🧶

Pulled out the espinner this morning. Wool was dyed by me almost 2 years ago! #handspun #yarn #espinner 🧶

Knit socks for myself are finished and blocked. The thermal stitch is soft and squishy! Next socks I want to try toe up with a fleegle heel. #knit #knitting

Finished scarf with reclaimed merino as warp. I love the drape that using multiple strands of lace weight creates. #weaving #rigidheddleloom #reclaimedyarn #woolaid

I started a mosaic crochet blanket for myself yesterday! I don’t have enough done to share yet, so I am instead sharing some pictures of a mosaic crochet blanket that I made for my parents for Christmas 2023. #crochet #mosaiccrochet 🧶

This newest scarf in progress just glows!! #weaving #woven #rigidheddleloom #woolaid

Next scarf is on the loom. I am using multiple strands of lace weight reclaimed merino wool for the warp. #reclaimedyarn #woven #rigidheddle #woolaid

Woven scarf finished - I love how it came out. This picture is more true to color than the WIP picture. #weaving #rigidheddle #woolaid

Progress on my socks 🧶 I like to make them TAAT to avoid the dreaded second sock syndrome, but I also prefer DPNs. They aren’t exactly at the same time, but hitting milestones at close to the same time so that I don’t forget counts and/or mods. #knitting

February “surprise skein” challenge selection was a purple Cloudborn superwash. I paired it with a coordinating fingering from stash for this cabled hat. Turned out a bit smaller than planned, but that is one benefit of knitting to donate - it will fit someone! #knitting #woolaid

Two pieces of an in progress baby set for Wool-Aid. Just need to finish the hat, make some mitts, and wash the little pieces and the set will be ready to go. The little stripey sweater turned out adorable. #knitting #woolaid

Cast on some socks for myself during the SNL 50th show last night. Finally using this lovely yarn from the 2022 MN yarn shop hop! #knitting #mnyarnshophop

I couldn’t resist making one of these adorable granny square chickens. I used selections from my fingering scrap bin, so she is only about 3” tall. #crochet #chicken

This hat turned out better than I had hoped. Yarn was reclaimed from a thrifted cashmere sweater that was white with a black/grey print (wish I had a pic!) The reclaimed yarn was lace weight and speckled. I held 4 strands together for this simple hat. It’s so soft! #cashmere #knitting #reclaimedyarn

Happy Valentines! This hat is probably the only thing I’ve ever made with hearts. Made by request a few years ago by someone who rarely asks me to make her anything. Pattern is Valentines Day beanie by Jeri Sullivan. #knitting

Started another woven scarf. I love how a variegated fingering warp adds so much interest to a simple weave. #weaving #rigidheddle

Stack of woven scarves I’ve made over the last couple months. These all include wool and/or cashmere yarn reclaimed from commercial sweaters for the warp. #weaving #rigidheddle #woven

2 hats made as part of a Wool-Aid Ravelry challenge. I chose 12 skeins or group of skeins that have been in stash for too long and packaged them in bags labeled 1-12. Draw a number monthly and make something to donate. This was January. (Plus purple from the scrap bin to use it a up) #knit #woolaid

Mosaic moss stitch baby blanket is finished and blocked! This one will be sent to a fellow Wool-Aid crafter who will make the coordinating sweater, vest, hat, mitts, and socks to complete the baby set. #crochet #mosaiccrochet #woolaid
