Wolves Will Be Wolves in Hildred's Farm yarn in Pepe, Colossus, #72, Magnus, and #68 and Lily hand dyed with logwood! No wolves here, the livestock guardian dog, bottom right, is fending them off.

If there's an upside to getting a bug resembling the norovirus, it is that I finished this hat! Pattern is Wolves Will Be Wolves, yarn is our own Hildred's Farm fiber, from Pepe, #68, and #72, spun at Twist of Fate. For sale at CT Sheep and Wool 2025! #showmeyourknits #ctsheepandwool #twistoffate

Third Triceratops Dinosaur Hat for my husband. He lost the first one, shrank the second one, and for some reason I am making him a third one, instead of divorcing him.
Great pattern by Inger Berg.

Reading dystopian sci Fi during our dystopian present might be a questionable choice but this book seems prescient.

I took another awesome sashiko class with @rachelharriette.bsky.social at Wesleyan Potters in Middletown CT, and came back with these items and some others too!

Fun times stitching with a great crew, recommend.
