Back in March of last year, @lolabeanyarnco.com messaged me, asking if I could "work my magic" with her new colorway, Moonshine? I said yes, because I am not a fool, at least not in this case. The results of that message, Sleeping Satellite, will be released on Tuesday. Stay tuned.

Black and gray are the quiet foundation of every palette. Black anchors color with depth and strength, while gray allows colors to speak without shouting. It tempers intensity, adds nuance, and reminds us that balance is often more powerful than saturation. 🧵

Finally using my homemade niddy noddy to get the kinks out of a sock blank. Using the pvc pipe means that I can get it wet without concern.

Thank you all for your support! There's more to come in 2026.

Hi! So, I’ve been working on the final wholesale order of the year. It’s for a new LYS! More details to come on that. I have also gone through the Clearance section of the site and cleaned it up so that it’s easier to see what is left there. And, I’d like to remind you of gift cards! Links below. 🧶🧶

Is it odd that someone would cancel an eBay bid on two separate items at different times?

The Milk Punch hat (by @theacolman.bsky.social ) is all dry and ready for my father-in-law. The yarn is Nest Worsted by @magpiefibers.bsky.social in a OOAK colorway. I originally got the skein to swatch for a sweater, which I hope to start in the near future.
