Need 2 new tires, battery, and something hit the underside of the Cardis so bad it dented the frame.
Oh, and they're estimating another $2K for my sleep study next week.
Just leaving these here:

I hate feeling like I'll never get caught up.
How cool! I am going to have to keep my eyes peeled for other witchy stitch markers you create.
I got the business set up on Ravelry as a yarn shop! Now if you use Kind Hands yarn to make a project you can tag the business. Can't wait to see what people make 😄
I started this business with a totally different idea in November 2022. I had no idea it would turn into the business it is today - doing my best to make natural fiber yarns accessible and pretty.
Getting to do what I love & building community in the process is the best!
A triangular wooden knitting loom on a stand with a dark blue, purple, and black yarn partially on with colorful previously woven items below it. There are some mannequins and looms in the background.
The finished on the loom project ready to be taken off and have ends worked in.
The final, off the loom, project. It is a triangular piece of woven cloth in shades of purple, blue, and black. I faint black plaid pattern shows up as well.
The Greencastle Wool & Fiber Show was such a wonderful time! I got to meet so many talented, creative, & supportive people the past two days & I couldn't be more grateful.
Kelly from Kiss Looms used one of my favorite colorway skeins on her loom demo and it made such a cute neckerchief 🥹
#yarnsky
Thank you! It has filled in today and there are so many fun yarns/products on display now.
Thank you!
All set up and ready for the Greencastle Wool Show!

I really want to see this worked up and if it looks like a blotting paper for paint brushes.
Anyone have a favorite pattern for about 650 yds of sport weight 100% BFL superwash wool yarn?

A mix of mousey grey and charcoal grey yarns hanging to dry.
Got some color work minis and embroidery thread drying. One batch is a mousey grey and the other is a variegated charcoal grey.

Like using natural fibers for your knitting, crocheting, and embroidery? Then check out my online storefront!
I will admit, I still have to list the embroidery yarn (wool/silk blend), so check back tomorrow afternoon if that's your cup of tea 🙂

I've been so busy in the workshop and looking up reference that I forgot it's #SelfPromoSaturday.
Check out my stuff. Lots of TTRPG accessories. Help me clear up this medical debt that's increasing my credit card debt. Please do me a capitalism.

I've been wrapping up loose ends as I prep for my first vendor table at Greencastle Wool Show and it's finally sinking in.
I ordered my banner, designed my business card, created yarn bin tags, got extra baskets for color work skeins, another table, peg board, and I'm so excited!
Undyed worsted weight yarn twisted in the dye pan.
The same twisted worsted yarn but now spots with fuschia, blue, green, orange, and yellow.
Feeling this sunshine and bird song 💛
The dye will mute a bit into a more pastel range, but the cream variegation will make those colors pop!

I large water bath catering pan filled with various weight yarns that have been dyed yellow.
Second dye bath of the day and it is so cheery and sunshiney!
Those benefits, especially in IN, are pretty dang nice. Our household has been navigating the job market recently & it is absolute dog shit. Still $55k is hot garbage.
Separate note, Mirror Indy is pretty great & I love that they're at least trying to foster a better media landscape for Hoosiers.
Trying to get a feel for what people want for content. I did pretty well on TikTok until I axed it because of the buy out. Now considering a Twitch stream for dye bath days, hanking and belly banding, and maybe even a make along with me?
Keep your eyes peeled as I'll probably test it out soon 👀
A judges panel for one of my local farmer's market decided I make nice things and I will now have a weekly place to sell my hand dyed natural fibers for 6ish months. It's really validating, especially because I just started last November.
Here's to a speedy recovery for you 🤞🏻
if I catch A SINGLE ONE OF YOU doing this to our trans friends in Kansas, I will fucking wreck you.
the politicians doing this to Kansas are evil. the people it is being done to deserve support and help and to not have to deal with your sadistic little jokes. grow a fucking soul.
Just placed an order and I was able to get my hands on mulberry silk embroidery floss 🤩 I think I'm going to mix the batch between somethings you won't find in a store and tonal solid colors. So dang excited!
Are you looking for cool looking math rock randomizers?
We've got a good amount of dice towers to choose from, from designers like @fatesendgames.bsky.social and @layersingreen.bsky.social!
Take a look, and pick one up!
Hand dyed yarn in a pan that is shades of green, orange, tan, brown, and cream.
Feeling ready to be out of the season of browns, muted oranges, and tans. I love winter, but I'm ready for those perks of green and new life.
I think it might be bleeding over into my work...

Video 11 of how to knit- let’s learn a stretchy bind off 🤩
I love reposting art posts. It's like putting someone's artwork on a digital refrigerator and making sure all your guests see it.
Did you see my refrigerator? Did you see this beautiful art? Don't you want to follow my friend and put their art on your refrigerator, too?
Layered wood and vibrant painted art pieces on a gray backdrop.
Layer art size comparisons!
All the new pieces go up tomorrow hopefully!
Finally heard back from Community Health after their first batch of instructions were... not helpful.
Going to be calling the sleep study doctor this afternoon to figure out the next steps. Which means paying for ANOTHER office visit.
So, I'm just gonna leave this here...

A pan of yarn. The left side is a gray-purple yarn. The right side has more variegation and vibrancy of the purpley pink dye color being that it is cream colored to start.
Dyeing the yak/merino/silk blend and some merino/nylon minis. I am loving how the greyish-brown yak blend is muting and softening the colors 🤩

Garlic chili crisp, white miso paste (after it's done boiling), put green onions in at the beginning, add mushrooms, add in some bouillon & use less of the packaged seasoning, a little sesame oil drizzle, thin sliced napa cabbage.
Tons of ways to dress it up that won't make it any less easy.
Thank you to those who tossed a bit of coin at me last night.
There's no new blog post today, but the shop is open if you'd like to help out by picking up some stuff through there.
