Excited to explore the next stage of this adventur Excited to explore the next stage of this adventure in the fiber world. I’m taking my knitting business full time! It’s a big change for me, but it’s also a cool opportunity to repurpose the skills I’ve built in my previous careers. If you have questions, I’m happy to answer them! Do you want to see more behind the scenes content of building a business in the fiber industry? More tutorials and technique tips? Maybe some more frequent progress updates on WIPs? I’m all ears!
Let’s talk about the yarn I used for these socks Let’s talk about the yarn I used for these socks! This is @purlsoho Fine Print, a 75% wool/25% nylon-polyamide blend. Unlike a lot of yarns used for knitting socks, this one is sold in a 50 g ball, which makes it great for colorwork projects, smaller projects, or socks with a contrasting heel, cuff, and toe like I’ve done here. I’ve collaborated with Purl Soho on a couple designs before and had been looking for a good project to work with them again. When I decided that this year’s sock club would have a pink color theme and realized they had a wonderful shade of pink in this yarn, that did it. And golly, I sure do like how it turned out. #purlsoho #purlsohobusyhands
I was 37 when I started knitting this blanket. I’m 40 now. I think I might actually finish it by the time I’m 41!
I’ve seen a few posts from new knitters over the I’ve seen a few posts from new knitters over the years who buy a hank of yarn, don’t realize you can’t knit straight from the hank, and end up with a terrible mess on their hands. I don’t want that for you! So here is how I take yarn from the hank that’s good for storage and shipping to a ball or cake that is good for actually knitting or crocheting. And hello! Welcome to my messy desk! This is what it looks like in here when I am in full design mode. I had a new pattern come out over the weekend and I’m cranking along on three other designs, so things have been very busy and a little chaotic in here. But if I’m honest, I’m always a little chaotic. Thanks to @aimeeshermakes for sending me this gorgeous yarn!
