I love how kettle dyed yarn stitches look lined up in a row. The way the colors stack and shift makes me happy. The yarn was a gift from my friend Noelle from Northern Ireland, the dyer is called IAY.

The IngramSpark ones are 1/8" thinner, and the colors on the cover are actually a litter closer to what they are on my computer screen (slightly less warm). I am so happy with how the cover I designed came out.

Truly, utterly, so excited to have gotten this all done in less than a year. 🥳

And OMG they look fantastic! I knew going in that IngramSpark uses a thinner paper than Amazon (which I knew) and you can definitely tell. Which, honestly, I kinda like, it makes it feel and look less chonky. The paper feels silkier, but not flimsy.

THEY'RE HERE! The first three boxes anyway... the other two got delayed because of the storm and will be here tomorrow.

THERE AREN'T ENOUGH WORDS FOR HOW THIS FEELS. 🤯🥳🤩

EEEEEE! It's HERE! This is the author proof to make sure the cover looks good and the formatting and layout inside is correct. But STILL! I love how the cover I designed came out! OMG. I never, ever thought I'd be here today. Teenage me is losing her SHIT right now. 🤯 I keep shrieking. #writing

Wish us luck! We have THREE hours to card the wool, spin the yarn, and feed the yarn to our weaver to weave a complete shawl.

Fleece to Shawl is about to start! Our theme is pirates. I'll have you know the only thing I had to buy was the hat, the head scarf, and the necklace. People keep complimenting my costume and I'm like, DUDE, these are my clothes. 😳

He is the kindest, sweetest, funniest, & smartest guy I know, is it any wonder that I decided I licked it, so it's mine?

Happy anniversary, @hunterrose.bsky.social! 19 yrs ago I married my best friend, my Nerd in Shining Minivan. It's been 21 yrs together, and 29 yrs since our first kiss.

I love you, Husbeast, and I hope you're the end of my story. 💗

Size 0 needles, magic loop method, Louisa Harding Luci lights sock weight yarn. #knitting

She did not, in fact, have enough yarn left to finish.

I had to dip into the second ball to, get this, finish 1.25 rows and the bind-off. 🤬

I did, however, end up with a beautiful pair of warm socks. I stayed up late, wove in my ends, and called it a win regardless. #knitting

Yarn chicken, baby! 9 rows to go. Will I make it? We shall see. Also, I have discovered I can read and knit at the same time, just like with spinning at my wheel. Woo! Yes, I'm easily amused.

(I have a whole other ball, but I'll be pissed if I have to hit it for just 2 rows or whatever.) #knitting

I had to drive over (like passing over) this little dude just a few houses down from ours, but turned around and raced back to save him because our road is a race course. The odds he wouldn't get flattened were slim. I'm thrilled I got to save a turtle this year. They make my heart happy.

But now mommy's lap has entered the chat. So many murder mitten biscuits.

Reaching one of my favorite love stories with @hunterrose.bsky.social on anticipation of the new release coming soon. Ed & Lorraine - nearly as perfect as Morticia & Gomez. 😍

So many phone-lights that it's actually half again brighter in here. Lik fireflies. Of course, the show is running an hour behind already. 🤷🏽‍♀️ #nin
