Sock update!

My road trip sock progress! I cast on my current favorite vanilla socks, the Cafe Socks by @aimeeshermakes.bsky.social

Done and wet finished!

This is Dorset in Honeycrisp from Atomic Fiber Studios and I am in love!

I’m a very slow spinner, and combined with how I’ve been doing back to back spins with specific projects and pushing myself out of my default spin, I decided to let loose! No color management, just my default spin straight from the braid 💜

A recently finished gift for a dear friend 🌱

This colorway was an impulse buy — I fell in love with it while browsing. And then two days after it arrived I realized it’s just a more saturated version of my therapist’s Zoom background…

Prepped for my next spin! I’ll be trying the 3-ply 2 way socks (inspired by Andrea Mowry’s SAL) with Polwarth Silk from Hipstrings in Advanced Marriage Counseling.

An update finally!! I spin everyday, but I don’t require myself to spin an amount of fiber or time because that stresses me out. So it did take me 12 days, but here she is, currently unwashed.

I’m jealous of yesterday me too, tbh!

Started this knit off strong casting it on during a late afternoon walk with the pup - it was absolutely beautiful out, and I was able to knit on my Avenue Tee by @toriknitsnyc.bsky.social while walking 🧶☀️

Tonight’s spinning project is ~30g of rolags I made out of cat fur last spring. Taking notes on how to improve the processing this time around 🐈🧶🐈

Mixing and matching them is such a genius idea!!! Especially this raspberry lemonade combo 😋

Project plans for my newest fiber acquisition 🥧💗

Just wanted to share a snippet of my lovely day today 🤍
I brought my friend to my new favorite crafternoon, which felt so special to share. Then I found a cute mug to replace an old favorite, broken by my cat, and found these cute stitch markers while I was at the register 🤍

This color is everything!!! Can’t wait for the release 💖

Delighted that mom picked the perfect color for #SkyKAL 🩵
Knit the first skein in a day, so let’s see if we can keep that speed up 😤🧶

I met a fellow Stash Dasher in the wild today! I didn’t realize @astitchofgreen.bsky.social was a Dasher – she saw my Dashel bag & squealed (in the cutest way). She also asked if she could touch my bayshore cowl & I was so very much honored

I might not be able to recognize a single human but Dashel I can definitely recognize anywhere 🐑🐑🐑

One day’s progress on this cute little toddler sweater. I had previously picked a pattern by a very well known knitwear designer, but lost yarn chicken (by 30%, my own math error). But also the size was gigantic, so I decided to go with one of my tried-and-true designers, @hannahgknits.bsky.social 🧶

Hello! I’m Serena (she/her) and I’m primarily a knitter, but also sometimes I spin and crochet, and I’m an aspirational weaver. I live in CA with my pup and kitty. I’m extremely overwhelmed by text post formats, but I’m trying to be brave and put myself out there 😅
