Mr. Bradley Patadley is breaking up your doomscrolling to remind you:
1) Breathe
2) Unclench your jaw and pull your shoulders down from your ears
3) Drink some water
4) Go for a little walk outside
5) Have a snack
After that you may resume your existential dread.

#Fiberuarychallenge 28) Gratitude
My instinct with a prompt like this is to be very serious. The world is a little too heavy right now, so I'm going simple:
I'm grateful that I woke up this morning feeling refreshed, and that my stinky lil guy came and sat with me for a little bit. 10/10 morning

#Fiberuarychallenge 27) Sip & Stitch
Anyone who knows me knows I drink mostly water - and if you hear me say I'm drinking a Natty, it's actually a Natural Klarbrunn. Unflavored sparkling water is my absolute jam, and Klarbrunn is s-tier in that category.

#Fiberuarychallenge 26) Where in the World
📍Madison, Wisconsin
I'm originally from Michigan, and went to college in Kentucky. I made my way to Wisconsin in 2014 and have only ever regretted it when there was heavy snowfall before I owned a snowblower. 🥶😅
I used to hate winter but it's grown on me!

#Fiberuarychallenge 25) Handmade Gift
Occasionally my friends and I go on a sunrise hike. On this outing all of us had coincidentally worn hats knit by yours truly. Nothing quite like handmade gifts being appreciated! These three are exceptionally knitworthy people.

#Fiberuarychallenge 22) On the Road
At O'Hare after catching an Ass O'Clock flight out of Virginia. Flight boards in half an hour, so I'll be home before 11.
Which leads to 23) Self care
I'll be napping away all afternoon so that I'm fresh for the dye studio tomorrow morning! 😁

#Fiberuarychallenge 21) Now and Then
I'm nothing if not a cat lady, so here's a now & then of Louise:
From our very first meeting when she was a newly-amputated fluff nugget to current glowering tripod queen.
As much as I love vacations, I'm excited to return home tomorrow to see her and Bradley!

#Fiberuarychallenge 20) Fiber Friends
(Still catching up)
I'm currently visiting my first fiber friend, my college roommate Rosa. I cannot count the number of times that she helped me in the studio while I was working on my fiber art degree! Most notable was helping me wrangle super long warps

#Fiberuarychallenge 19) Wear It Wednesday (catching up)
Is there anything cuter than pups in handknits? Maybe babies, but it's close.
Young Otto (my friend's dog) is shown here wearing an Aeque cowl knit in one of Knitcircus' modernist colorways (now discontinued). Links ⬇️

#Fiberuarychallenge 18) Twos Day
(Catching up)
Would I post anything for Twos Day other than a pair of matching gradient socks?
All dyed-to-order cakes of yarn (gradient, impressionist, modernist dye techniques) can be ordered as a matching sock set. Perfect for TAAT toe-up socks! Link below ⬇️

#FiberuaryChallenge 17) Monochromatic
I took a couple days off social media while preparing for my trip to Virginia, so I'm catching up. Because, you know, *gestures everywhere*.
The horrors may persist, but so do we. Persist Pink was developed as Knitcircus' official pussy hat pink in Jan. 2017.

#Fiberuarychallenge 16) Reading/Watching
In late 2023 I was introduced to Libby, and have been using it mostly for audiobooks. Working solo in the studio can be very lonely, but the time can also fly by when jamming to a new book.

#Fiberuarychallenge 15) Cozy Corner
This is perhaps the coziest corner in my house.
This cat tree has been Strongy's #1 sleeping spot since I brought her home at 6 weeks old. Here she is this morning, very eepy, slightly disgruntled I woke her up for this pic, and 3ish years ago as a bébé.

I'm sure I'm not the only crafter whose favorite video game is Stardew Valley! This colorway, Dance of the Moonlight Jellies, is the intersection between two of my favorite things: fiber arts and video games. 🎮🧶

#Fiberuarychallenge 11) Texture
What a joy it is to have a job filled with such lovely textures! My favorite Knitcircus yarn base is Parasol - a non-superwash Merino and silk blend fingering weight. It is both satiny and cloud soft, sleek and fluffy in equal measure. 🤌🧶

#FiberuaryChallenge 9) Mood Board
Closest thing I have is the art hanging in my bedroom. I installed a picture rail above my bed recently so I can change out the art without constantly putting new holes in my wall. It has worked a treat! I wrote a little bit about it in a newsletter recently. Link ⬇️
