Met this cutie at Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. Can’t stop thinking about him. Guess I have a crush on a Jacob sheep 😍 🐏 🧶 #mdsw #mdsw2025
Jacob sheep with 2 horns, looking up at camera from a blue pen with straw on the ground. Face is mostly white except for a small dark brown spot at his nose. Same Jacob sheep as in previous photo, with head slightly cocked to one side and gazing up at camera. He has moved closer to the camera Nose of sheep in previous 2 photos in extreme closeup as he sniffs at the camera

Had a plying marathon and finished up 3 skeins 🧶 I think they’d look great in a project together. Would love for it to be a top, but not sure I’ll have enough 🤔 #spinning #wool
3 finished skeins of yarn in a basket, bright green in the middle with two variegated skeins on either side that read blue/purple, but have green, gold, blue, purple, brown throughout

Finally, a warm day ☀️ #catsky
An orange & white cat lays on a raised bed in a screened-in porch. The sunlight washes over him as he sniffs the air, eyes closed.

Sweeney is concerned about the smug faces starting to show on my #catknit pullover. Hanging out with my best orange &white guy and knitting a bit 💕 🧶 🐈 #knitsky

Turned this box into a support spindle holder using Modge Podge, cotton fabric, and felt. Not perfect, but I’m happy with the result overall 🙂 #fiberarts #supportedspindle
Small, empty cardboard box. Green around sides, 3 holes have been made in the top Box with opening facing forward. Inside and outside is covered with fabric that shows yellow, white, pink, and blue wildflowers on a light grey background. Brown felt covers the top and bottom. Inside are 2 support spindles with some white fiber spun into them, and a tall spindle bowl to one side

Trying to manage my anxiety over the absolute shitshow going down right now by planning/starting a new weaving project. Hoping for towels with a beach/lake sort of vibe 🧶 #weaving #loom
View from the top of threads on a warping board in stripes of dark blue, light blue, light tan and natural white

Finally getting around to hemming some towels that I wove months ago. Hemming always seems to be the sticking point for me. This one was the end of the warp, so I just used new colors whenever I felt like it and I kinda like how it turned out. #weaving #loom
Woven hand towel on an ironing board with iron beside it. Towel is mostly orange with large white and dark blue stripes and thinner green and bright orange stripes and has an all over diamond pattern

Green is my absolute favorite color. This spin reminds me of spring, and has just a touch of gold sparkle. Can’t wait to make something with it!

What are your happy colors?
