I have been remiss! I haven’t posted my most recent FO. Decided to knit an Alaska hat as a sample of my Unicorn Poop gradient. I used less than 20g of a 50g skein, so now I get to knit a second one out of the remaining colors parts of the gradient. I even cut out 6g of the pink as seen on the alpaca

I thought you guys might appreciate some of my rainbow colorways! The pastels are ‘Unicorn poop.’ There’s a variegated (top left) and a gradient (bottom middle). Right top is ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ gradient, left bottom is the variegated version. Bottom right is a rainbow mini set.

I did a thing! After over a year of should-shouldn’t-I I finally pulled the trigger on taking my dyeing to the next level. I’ve started doing these hand painted sock blanks and I’m adding my yarn to my shop. I’m particularly proud of how this one turned out and I am stupid excited and had to share.

I dyed Unicorn Poop in a gradient and a variegated and it makes me so happy

We got a baby wolf as a floor model for my shop (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it) and I decided to go for broke on the first warp. Still haven’t settled on a draft yet. Suggestions for killer 8 shaft overshot designs very welcome!

I know it’s cliche, but fall is my favorite time of year. We didn’t have a real fall where I grew up, so I still don’t take it for granted. With all that said, here’s my first ode to fall! Mabon Variegated and Mabon gradient. Did I get the fall colors right?

My shipment of yarn arrived. More than 30lbs of fluffy goodness waiting to be dyed! I’m in my happy place. The real reason I’m posting this: According to my sister it looks like kilos of cocaine and now I can’t unsee it. 😂 I mean, I am addicted to yarn, so...kinda accurate? Too funny not to share!

Showing off my latest colorway, Samhain. It’s part 2 of an 8 part series I’m planning. It took 5 attempts to get to a color I was pleased with, but I think it was worth it! Link in comments

My latest colorway is a variegated version of one of one of my earliest colorways (a gradient) and I’m kinda in love with it. I think it’s just as bright and wild as it’s inspiration, Luna and the quibbler

Presenting my latest colorway, Samhain. After a LOT of experimentation and trial and error I finally got something I think does justice to the Halloween spirit. This baby is 2nd in a series of 8 colorways coming this year. Link in the comments if you want to check it out!

A (fairly new) shop in a little seaside town in Washington. It sells fishing tackle and kites and apparently the name has caused a bit of controversy. Personally, I love it. Clever and hilarious. I guess others find the level of taste...dubious

Today’s my birthday, and in keeping with birthday tradition I’m having a cosmo or 3 and starting on a purely frivolous and selfish project. I’m making myself (another) diaphanous raglan, this time out of my dark happy thoughts colorway. Wish me luck keeping track of all 3 cakes of yarn 🤣

Since I just recently discovered this sub, I thought I’d share the hand painted blank that has remained my favorite to do and my most popular. I give you: Luna’s Spectraspecs

I’m getting in to the Halloween spirit! New Zombie Apocalypse colorway and the art for a new pin/sticker that’s finally in production. All inspired by my new favorite pattern book, doomsday knits (link in comments)

I am stupid excited about how this came out! My latest colorway: Time Warp - an Homage to RHPS. The RHPS title and iconic lips are bracketed on either side by the vibrant colors the time warp dancers are wearing speckled with black. It may be my new #1 on the pride scale 😆

Guys, I think I displaced my angst over not decorating for Halloween in to my yarn dyeing! Green/grey: zombie apocalypse gradient & variegated, orange/black: Samhain gradient and variegated, red/black/white: Dracula variegated. Center is our newest enamel pin. Link in comments!

This is an historic moment! I just finished knitting a sample of my Spectraspec colorway and realized as I was working on the last section (and stressing about losing yarn chicken) that it’s the first knitting project I’ve been monogamous to. Pattern: ‘Age of Brass and Steam’ adapted for sock weight

I’ve been feeling inspired lately! This was yesterday’s new addition to the hand painted blanks I offer. Sorry about the odd pic layout; I wish I could get a good pic of it. Alas, taking a full length shot that’s not awful isn’t easy! Completely hand painted Hogwarts is my Home on fingering weight.

‘I have to knit a sample’ is a really handy excuse. I had bit of confusion at the outset RE the wrap but it was a fun/quick knit. I actually finished this 9 days ago but have been so busy that getting pictures of it fell to the wayside. The colorway is my Marauder’s Map. Pattern is Into the Weald.

In honor of our new joint venture the other Weird Sister (it’ll make sense if you read my comment 😆) and I decided to create signature colorways. These are my contributions, a variegated and gradient. She’s working on a self stripe in the same colors. Link in comments if you want to check it out!

Knitted a sample of my ‘Hogwarts is my Home’ hand painted blank. It’s basically the longest cowl ever! I love knitting these blanks because the color placement is always a surprise, despite being the one that dyed them. Sorry about the color difference; FO pics taken on phone, yarn pics on a camera

I did a thing! I’ve been screen printing a lot of fiber-nerdy shirts, and I love this design so much I had it made in to pins! Also featured is one of my WIPs. Vanilla socks with hand dyed yarn from Little Fish Stitches. Thought I’d share with people who might enjoy it 😁

I got my knitting machine! No more paying 2x more for sock blanks, or being limited to 4 bases. Now I can knit my own blanks and dye all the gradients! There’s definitely a learning curve, took me about 3 hours to figure out what I was doing wrong with the cast on but once I had that I was golden.

Finally finished getting the floor loom all dressed up to weave overshot bags. I’m using doubled black commercial cotton for the warp with a bit of purple wool near the edges. The pattern weft is some of my wool/silk hand spun and the tabby weft is the same as the warp cotton.

I tried out a new dyeing technique yesterday and knitted up a swatch. I think I like it, but I’m worried it’s too blotchy. I could use opinions, so I figured I’d ask all you lovely knitty peoples! Thoughts?

This is what happens at 2am if you forget to give my Great Dane pup all 4 of her bedtime chew toys. She’s lucky she’s adorable because she’s definitely a jerk. Had to share after seeing the lab that did the same thing.

FO: the longest cowl Ever! Knit in my ‘Hogwarts is my Home’ colorway, the pattern was fairly easy but unique. I was bit worried about how long it was, but it scrunches up beautifully. It’s always a surprise to see how the colors will pool, despite being the one that dyed it. Pattern: Paris in Berlin

My furbaby Hedwig got fixed yesterday, so I’m knitting and keeping an eye on my super loopy pup on this exceedingly blustery night. Making progress on my ‘find your fade’ shawl, finally! I need this sucker done so I can start using the shawl cuffs I’ve been making 😂

I’m hoping that posting this will guilt me in to finishing it. My son just said it’s going on his Xmas list and it was supposed to be done for his bday...last February.
