Hey! Thought I'd go ahead and make my first post on here. 😅 My name is Katy! I'm a socially awkward yarn dyer, crocheter and knitter.
If you like yarn, crafts, cats and dogs we should be friends. 🧶🧵🐈🐕

Looking straight on Cow always looks like she's judging you with her glare but move to the side and she's actually smiling.

What are we knitting (or crocheting) today? I'm impatiently waiting for yarn to dry so I can cast on a pair of DK weight socks.

The sun is shining! Got some yarn dyed, played with the puppy outside now I'm going to crochet something before I start spiraling in my doomscroll.

Had to rescue Cow from the predicament she got herself in. This is a ledge to nowhere (I personally don't understand the point of the thing) over the stairs. Might just take off all the stuff collecting dust and give her a blanket.

DNA results are in!
49% Australian Cattle
43% Siberian Husky
6% Alaskan Malamute
1% GSD (surprisingly so low)
1% Collie
She's not even 5 months old so I think that Malamute is to blame for her size. Husky explains a lot. She gets lippy at breakfast time and she loves the snow.

Do you ever have a simple project that gives you issue after issue?
I have an order for a colorway I've done a million times without a problem. First, I dyed the wrong base. Dyed the right one. Then I caught a small imperfection I just couldn't send out. Third time's a charm! Right!?

Her best ASPCA commercial pose. Cue the sad music.
She keeps asking to go out. Shes perfectly happy in the snow. Makes me think she's got some husky in her.

That sudden urge to chop off all your hair because everything is falling apart and it gets caught in your seatbelt trying to get out of the car.

Thrifted sweaters yarn update. Getting the seams out took the longest. Once I figured it out it went pretty quick though. Now to unravel each panel.

Puppy's first snow. I think she likes it.

Have you ever used yarn from thrifted sweaters? I found these this weekend. I'm planning on dyeing the white one. The green one is alpaca and the pink one has some silk in it. Wish me luck!
