Yarn mountain 🧶 🏔️ and I are getting ready for the Fergus Fibre Festival on May 31st! Located in beautiful downtown Fergus, ON, Canada, this rain or shine ‘street festival’ style fibre fair is an annual favourite.

Ohhhh man. With 7 nieces and nephews (3 of whom were born within 10 months of each other) I’ve done LOTS of knitting for babies. Kicking off #showmeyourknits baby knits week with my favourite - a stop motion video of this chick pattern by Alan Dart 🧶

#showmeyourknits theme this week is green so….. show me your frogs! 🐸 😂 🧶 This one was made by a knitter at the local print shop that makes my labels - I wish she was here so I could tag her!

I missed #showmeyourknits wips week due to work drama so I’m squeaking one in just as lace week starts. This is a neon aran speckle (graffiti) held with an undyed alpaca boucle I’m trying out 🦙 🧶

Just some yarn on a chair bringing me some light 🕯️ during challenging personal times 🌈 🧶 Knitting might not fix things but it sure helps me regulate, and balances my mental health! 💪

I’m VERY experimental with dyeing and last year I spent MUCH time hand painting some skeins. They went to their new homes and I’ve been waiting FOREVER to see them. One morning BOOM 💥 Someone made socks 🧶🧦

They turned better that I could have hoped for 🥹

This #maker isn’t here yet so I can’t tag her, but Cathy of Birds of a Felter (you can find her on the other platform 📸) is the most talented felter I’ve ever met. This “auntie fox” and her kit were created to represent my relationship with my nieces and nephews. #feltsky #felting #heirloom

Two felted foxes, one large and one small, sitting down facing towards each other looking at each other. The small one looks inquisitive and the large one looks wise.

#showmeyourknits has changed over to #cableknitting ! This #witchsbrewcowl by #tellybeanknits is the only pattern I’ve done incorporating “faux” cables (no cable needle needed) so I’ll be pretty quiet over there this week 😂 🧶
