👋🏻 Hello! I’ve got some news for May so let’s goooooo

- I’m going on vacation! Tomorrow I’m packing up and heading to MI for some much needed time away. Any orders placed April 29 - May 6 will ship on May 7

- I got a new look! And naturally I painted my nails to match my new brand colors. (📷2/3)

I washed up some skeins of Let Me Tell You About My Uterus for a wholesale order yesterday.

I’ve only got a few in stock on Sock and DK right now, but @heymakedo.bsky.social will have some in shop at the end of the month!

Today’s post stretching to do list:

★ Discard offering of dead mouse from the outdoor cat that I’m definitely not getting attached to
★ Wash a bunch of yarn
★ Finish labeling LYS day skeins
★ Pack open order --> USPS
★ Follow up at dermatologist (sunscreen is cool, wear it!)

I dyed up some Mind Your Own for a wholesale order today!

This colorway is inspired by somebody who took time out of what I presume is a busy day to tell me they think I’m gross for donating to abortion funds.

I woke up with the storms and tornado warnings at 12:45 am and never went back to sleep (because of said storms and warnings)

Still did the stretching thing with my cat though! 🙌🏻

Shop update tomorrow, I’m gonna be moving slow today but things will get done.

I dyed up a whole bunch of Crystalline and has to include some merino fabric. It turned out so good! ✨

Shop update in a few weeks, I want to get the remaining preorders out the door before I update the shop. 💗

Postcard was the second best selling color at NYF, and I’m dyeing up your preorders this week!

The general feedback on this color is folks love the splashes of color peeking through the light blue base. I had a lot of fun pulling some pairings for this colorway on Saturday!

🧑🏻‍💻 I crunched the numbers and the results are in! 📈

My top selling colorway at Nash Yarn Fest was I am Pro Fossil with 11 skeins sold!

The general feedback on this color is folks love the neutral grey and subtle flashes of color that pop through. 1/🧵

Nash Yarn Fest was incredible. Thank you sooooo much to everyone who showed up to the Haus of Yarn booth to say hi. I can’t say enough how much I appreciate your support and words of encouragement to keep going.

We are resting hard before #NashYarnFest tonight.

Only time will tell if I remember how to be a person around a lot of people. 😸

Today is for washing a bunch of Rebel Girl and the pans I dyed them in.

Theeeeeen I get to paint my nails for this weekend! 💅🏻
March 13, 2025 at 2:52 PM
If you can see how sloppy my appliqué is you’re standing too close. 😎

Only two more words to zig zag! Hoping to finish this shirt later today or tomorrow.

Sod Sayer matches my orange nail polish so well! 😎

Sod Sayer is inspired by an anti abortion harasser who was convinced that I was planting grass seed on a concrete walkway to take away his god given right to harass people going to the doctor. 🤷🏻

Howdy pals! I just made the donation to Abortion Care Tennessee. I’m so excited because this donation will be doubled by the national network of abortion funds! 🙌🏻

Thank you so much for making this happen! I’m going to start dyeing preorders soon. I can’t wait for y’all to get your skeins!
March 6, 2025 at 6:16 PM
👋🏻 todays the last day for all of the preorders!!

Don’t forget I’m also donating 10% of in stock sales to Abortion Care Tenn. 💗

Exciting news! This donation will be doubled by the national network of abortion funds as part of their yearly fund-a-thon! 💗

✨Motivational Monday with Hose Cat ✨
March 3, 2025 at 3:00 PM
Preorders for both new colorways, Make ‘em all Dance and Postcard, will be open through March 3.

I’m also bringing skeins of both colors with me to Nash Yarn Fest, you can find me in the booth with Haus of Yarn on March 15! Come say hi and *maybe* I’ll tell you why I almost didn’t release these. 🤫

Started off Saturday in upward facing otter. 🦦
Yoga with Hose Cat is the best!
March 1, 2025 at 1:50 PM
Rebel Girl 2025 preorders are open! 🙌🏻

I’m also donating 10% of in stock sales through March 3 to Abortion Care Tenn, an abortion fund that helps Tennesseans access out of state care. 💜

Only one of us is ready for preorders to open today and lucky for y’all it’s me, the one with opposable thumbs who can work a computer, and not this guy, who is a cat.

Preorders open at 10am central!
