Sometimes my crafting isn’t JUST wool or yarn. These are 8” book-themed wreaths I sell at my local bookstore!

I love using thrifted/vintage buttons and cameos 🩷 #craftingbluesky #handmade #handmadebluesky

Three cheers for Ava the Brave-a! While her brother King was hamming it up and making friends with everyone, Ava was just trying to survive her anxiety at the vet, shaking and panting. And she did it! We are so proud of her. #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogs

Hello from my studio - the morning light is beautiful today! Wearing an oldie but a goodie, the Moreland Sweater in Green Mountain Spinnery Weekend Wool.

I love the Barley Hat pattern by Tin Can Knits for mindless knitting or a palette cleanser. This is my second this week. 🫠

I have many talents. Squeezing lots of pretty yarn into small spaces is only one of them! Current pop-up status at the Andover Bookstore.

Wow! Andovers Magazine asked me for an interview and did such a lovely multi-page article with beautiful photos. I’m really, really touched, and so grateful for this community.

Botanically dyed yarns using the magical intentions of folklore to enhance the intentions of your creation. Knitting a shawl for a friend who needs healing and a return to happiness? Using a yarn dyed with Lily-of-the-Valley can enhance that intention.

Usually I avoid Valentine’s Day themes as “too commercial” or whatever, but I dunno - this year feels like it couldn’t hurt to mindfully love on each other a little extra, in whatever way feels best. So I made some kits with that in mind.

Local friends - bringing some hat kits to our Andover Bookstore yarn shop pop up this weekend. Hope you enjoy!

Hey hello, I’m on here! My kiddo caught me and King couch napping, and this sums up my current state pretty well, I think.
