We said what we said. 😉🧶
Went live with @knotbadbritt.com to talk #LYSDay, fiber headlines, & all the joy this community brings 🧶✨
Catch the replay👇
OP's wrist, palm down on a light wood surface, models a knit cuff. It is a band of garter stitch, with a strip of stockinette wrapped around to scrunch the band into a bow shape. The yarn is a golden yellow with short bits of brown, like a banana.
OP's wrist is turned palm-up to show the other side of the banana colored cuff. There is a flap like on an envelope, secured with a dark brown button sewed on with a bit of peachy pink sashiko thread.
The cuff is off the wrist, with the flap opened. OP's fingers slip inside to demonstrate that it's a pocket!
Got this cute lil giveaway kit at #LYSDay!
IT HAS A POCKET
IDK what to put into said pocket, but obviously it's an asset. Maybe stitch markers and a darning needle.

I couldn't make it to my LYS yesterday, but I did shop at someone's LYS, in Pensacola, FL.
Bad Sheep Yarn. 🧶

Yesterday we debuted an exclusive collection for Local Yarn Store Day at Knitique Yarns in Elk Grove, CA! They had sold out of Peck’s Purple by the start of the afternoon. 🤗🧶

Guess what hasn't hit the radar yet on tariff price increases? Needles. Specifically #knitting needles. #Crochet hooks and #sewing/embroidery needles also. News from my #LYS at #LYSDay yesterday. She'll be raising the price of aluminum/steel needles as the suppliers are charging her more d/t tariffs

One skein of yellow, pink, purple and black yarn, next to a skein of red and black yarn on a pale pink binder.
Celebrated the grand opening a new LYS. Kid 2 & 3 each picked out one skein for new socks and I got to squishy all the yarn in person. My semi-rural life has not offered many chances for IRL yarn shopping and having one in my own area may require great restraint. #knitsky 🧶 #LYSday
Was fortunate to hit @sprywhimsy.bsky.social for Local Yarn Shop Day on my out of Madison. 🧶🧶 Happy to have visited them for a fiber holiday 😉 Picked up this earthy, Dune-esque gradient in a cotton blend. #LYSday #stoughtonwi #madisonwi #supportlocal
Today is LYS (local yarn store) day. My local shop has the cutest DelaQ bag with a madtosh skein. I have no yarn at home... of course I bought it! I also had to get a skein of Bad Sheep yarn to go with it, as one does. #knitter #lysday #yarn
Who else bought yarn today?
Today saw the collision of #IndieBookstoreDay and #LYSDay (local yarn shop), and I could not be happier! Books from Gathering Volumes & yarn from Chickadee Knit Studio, both in Perrysburg, OH. #reading #knitsky #Findingthejoy Unexpected find: a young adult sci-fi trilogy for this grown-ass adult.
Happy LYS day! A great day to support your local yarn shops and indie dyers, etc.
Haul photo to come later 😉

Handmade wooden stitch marker says LYS Day 2025 and Sunshine Weaving. It's made by Rebel Stitchers.
Live music and knitting are happening are the front porch of Sunshine Weaving and Fiber Arts Store in Lebanon, TN.
Stopped in to #SunshineWeaving for #LYSDay and signed up for a knitting lace class, listened to live music, and got a cute stitch marker!

Shout out to The Nifty Knitter in Issaquah, WA for #ShowMeYourKnits! I don’t have a picture of the store and I couldn’t find them on Bluesky, but here’s a baby sweater I made with yarn I bought there!

This week's #showmeyourknits is for #LYSDay , so here is my home away from home, Gosh Yarn It! in Kingston, PA. Funny story, I bought the yarn for this sweater at the height of the pandemic in 2020; Jill, the shop owner, kindly set it out on her front porch for me to pick up! I love my LYS. 🧶
When #Caturday & #LYSDay collide… Juno clearly approves of the hand-dyed self-striping sock yarn I acquired today 🧶 #knitsky #showmeyourknits
For almost 20 years Unwind Yarn House was my LYS in Newmarket, ON, Canada. I’ve moved away, but in my heart it will always my #lys ❤️🧶❤️
