I was just coming to say the same thing. So unexpected but it looks amazing.

Thank you!

It’s almost Small Business Saturday and if you’d like to try a lovely handmade (by me!) bag from a small business, I’d appreciate it if you considered mine. Here’s what a few recent customers have said:

My shell cottage socks for #showmeyourknits #socktober - made before I knew better. Realized this day my knees are too old to ski. The people beside me: “what is she doing? Is that…is that a SOCK? Ohmygod look - she’s making a HEEL - an actual HEEL!” 😂🧦🧶 Deets in alt text.

The little toe-beans though 🥹

Pretty!! 😍

It’s a free pattern on Ravelry. A multiple of 9 (if I remember correctly?) stitches and just 1 row repeated. Mix up your pretty yarns in stripes and Bob’s your uncle.

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

😂😂😂

Do! It’s so easy (1 row pattern) and varying the width of the stripes gives you these changing undulating waves - it’s a lot of 💥 for the buck.

It is! It makes everything look good.

Thanks so much!! 🥰

Fiber Fest is almost here! The large backpacks always go fast. They have 8 (!!) pockets, a reinforced waxed canvas base, gorgeous prints, & leather trims. I tried to make loads this year so there should be some coming to my website after DFW Fiber Fest.

Large frame bags have tons of space, a cute shape, reinforced hand-waxed canvas bases & waterproof canvas linings. Four pockets inside, & the handles are double sewn & riveted for strength. They make the best knitting project bags! Coming to DFW Fiber Fest on the 19th! 🧶 #knitting #knitsky #handmade

There was an episode of Will & Grace a thousand years ago in which Grace’s mom sings “told you so” with a little dance. A thousand years later we still do this all the time in my house.

Thank you! I’m really happy with how these turned out.

Sometimes I’m lucky and find fabric samples from designers. They’re small but the fabrics are gorgeous and I’ve found they make the cutest pyramid pouches. Perfect for tools/notions, a drop spindle, or even a single-skein project. Coming to @dfwff.bsky.social 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #handspinning
