I'm a maker; I take strings and turn them into things. Sometimes I even make string. Employed as a Professional Yarn Squisher at a yarn shop. I'm an avid reader, animal lover, I cook a lot, and love Korean food. (she/her)
Dinner tonight: Korean honey garlic chicken wings with sticky white rice.

Ingredients: separated chicken wings w/tips removed, canola oil, salt, pepper, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, mirin (sweet rice wine), and honey.

I repair knitted and crocheted items at work, as needed.

I'm currently repairing a 50+yo crocheted chevron blanket.

The purple and blue yarn is holding the live stitches that need to be secured so they don't unravel and the silver stitch markers are there to maintain the alignment of the points.

Have knitting, will travel.

I'm working on my sock while waiting for Hubby at the doctor's office.

This is why I prefer to wash newly finished knits alone. It's a good way to find out if the dye in the yarn will bleed and doesn't ruin anything in the process.

It's another chilly day today. I'm keeping warm at work in my So Faded sweater (JulieSpins' Targhee Sock), while working on my Islington Jumper in Aran weight yarn (Blue Sky Fibers' Woolstok Tweed). I'm also wearing my rainbow socks (West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4ply).

Wool for the win!

🥶 It's cold outside, so I'm covered in shop samples to warm up (job perks). It's too cold to sit in the chair by the window like I usually do, so I've relocated to the couch.

I'm working on my gauge swatch for my New Year's cast on. 🧶

I started and finished an entire sock today! It's a wee sock ornament.

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. — Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

I forgot to take a pic of all of the noms this year, but I did manage to take a pic of the apple pie that I made from scratch before it was devoured.

It was another great Thanksgiving with friends. 🥰

It isn't Thanksgiving without it.

I will be spending Thanksgiving with friends and bringing my knitting. I won't be the only knitter there. ❤️

I hope you get to spend the holiday with those near and dear to your heart.

Here is your friendly reminder that it's okay to cut toxic people out of your life. You deserve better.

I just signed up and am now searching for the people/pages that I follow elsewhere, so I can follow them here.
