Just a girl with her box of thorns…

On the last page of this project. So excited to see it finished!

The scent combinations we've unleashed in this year's Pride series have truly got to be smelled to be believed! Proceeds from year's Pride fragrances will be split between SAGE, Athlete Ally, and the Trans Youth Equality Foundation. blackphoenixalchemylab.com/collections/...

I finally finished my Sailor Moon scarf over the weekend and I’m over the *moon* about it! It came out perfect! There wasn’t a single time I felt ready for it to be over with and it was such a nice companion to have over the last couple months! Def recommend double knitting! #knitsky #sailormoon

First sock done and the second was cast on Friday evening. The fit is perfect so I’m so happy with it. Excited to get these done

The second spindle for the second ply of my cardigan spin is done. Such a chunky turtle. The fiber is Into the Whirled’s “Prestidigitation” in BFL. Four more to go for this ply

Exciting news! I've decided to make all my current and future crochet patterns free/pay what you can. These patterns currently include Ditto, Hollow Knight, Hornet, Sherma, Junimo, and a snake and will soon include Kirby, more Pokemon, and who knows what else. ko-fi.com/G2G7HWN8R/shop

I finally finished my Yume Polo and wowwie I’m so happy with it! This pattern didn’t do a lot of hand holding but it came out perfect! I modified it to do a folded over cuff and hem instead of ribbing which I think was a perfect choice #showmeyourknits #knitsky

I’ve been wanting to do a sweater spin on my spindles for a while now and last year I started with this gorgeous BFL that I picked up at MD Sheep and Wool. 8oz on six spindles. This is only one part of three. I have a bit to go but look at those turtles🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

At last year’s MDS&W a lovely person gave me a few pieces of this gorgeous rose wood that I’m hoping to turn into spindles. I’m finally cutting into it today. It has way more purple than I expected. Trying my best not to waste or wreck it😩

Finally finished Peso on my Katamari scarf. This means I’m past the halfway point of the scarf. I’m still a few days behind but if I keep going at this pace I might clear the fifth chart next week

I had taken a break from stream for the last week to recover from a cold but I’ll be back tonight around 6:30pm est…. So in other words, just a few minutes. Join me while I try to catch up on my Katamari themed double knit scarf: twitch.tv/amubleu

I had a “treat yourself” moment this week and got myself a set of Chiagoo shorties. I got them hoping it would help me with my tension issues when it comes to color work socks. I actually am enjoying knitting with these rather than the fixed version I had used in the past

Second finish of the year and my first pair of socks from hand spun. The fiber is targhee dyed by Kim Dyes Yarn that I picked up last year’s MDSW. Pattern is my own vanilla socks. The three singles were plied during stream (but of course I don’t have a photo of the finished yarn). Still love them!

I finally got around to taking pictures of my precious boy in his handknit Honey Hound Sweater by Stephen West! He is so cute! #knitting #knit #cat #knitsky

We have moved and are slowly settling in. Here is my first completed project in the new house finally blocking. It’s a Stargazer made from hand spun. The pattern is by James N. Watts

I’ve been a big quiet over here but it’s because we are going through a few big and exciting changes. Because of that I’m going to make one more spindle update this weekend and then some time in the next week or two I’ll be shutting down the shop until the end of the month.

My latest obsession. I forgot the name of the booth I purchased this but I got it at this year’s MD sheep and Wool. This is just a small part of a sweater spin and I can not put it down. I just started this on Monday and the Spindle is just about full!

I’m behind on my spindle update this week. So instead I’m going to list three spindles that are from a batch last year. These were on display in the shop at work. Since these are from 2024 they will be listed at $50 usd (the price for current spindles is $55.00).

I am going to get this ply done today. I got a crazy amount spun yesterday while visiting family. That means I’ll be able to ply my three turtles together soon, completing this sock spin. It also means I’ll be able to start my sweater spin this week.

This morning’s spin on our am walk was very productive. I’m spinning the last ply for my three ply sock spin. I really want to finish this and get my spindles cleared so I can start on my giant sweater spin.

This drop spindle from @amubleu.bsky.social is seriously the SMOOTHEST thing I’ve ever spun on. Literally don’t even want to touch my Snyder after spinning on this. Make sure you go grab one - these are very small batch production! www.etsy.com/shop/amubleu

There is a new spindle drop in the shop this morning! (Shipping days start on Wednesdays so if any spindles purchased in the next couple of days will go out then)

My Katamari scarf so far. Pattern by Katharina Kuntz

New spindles in the shop!

Look at this flame! Gorgeous piece of Meranti

Yesterday was pretty productive. I was working on spindle shafts

My sister painted this Space Marine for me when she was in town. I just added a light blushy wash over the pink and finished the base. Only a field of flower for him to frolic through with his super soaker will do

Brody King is selling "Abolish ICE" shirts. All proceeds will go to the families that have been impacted.

Brodie King wore an "abolish ICE" shirt on #AEWGrandSlamMexico

The newest batch of blanks for whirls that I’m working on this year. So many new woods as well as gorgeous ones that I have not had in over a year. Too many to name but look at that bright ass Osage Orange in the back!

Talented people I know. Look at that embroidery!!😍

My spin as of last night. Hoping this will be my Spin to Win yarn.

I wanted to try to use a weaving bobbin for a workshop I’m taking soon so I made one. This is out of Crepe Myrtle

Spotted on my walk on this gorgeous Sunday

A pretty pink streak in a piece of Holly I was given

I might have a fav color scheme. Feeling very matchy matchy with my spinning and new bag. Also, “yay!” to Traveler weather

Still experiencing the after effects of festival prep so tonight I’m going to attempt to spin on my Turkish spindle. Festival talk as well as Haul show and tell will be going on show if you have the time and want something to craft to join me: twitch.tv/amubleu

Chilling out with my spin for Spin to Win

One of several highlights of the festival happened early Saturday morning. A gentleman came upH to the booth and told me that he had visited my Etsy shop and loved the things that I made. He then handed me three gorgeous pieces of rose wood from his father to make something lovely🥹.

I’m back from MD Sheep and Wool. I did not take a single photo of the booth because we were busy from the very start of day one. I did manage to get some goodies and my only meal at the festival was my yearly corn dog. Tired but so happy

It’s the little things that are so time consuming 😩

Forever last minute prepping for a festival

Found this in my purse this morning on my way to the shop… because of course. #turkishspindle

This is what happens when I’m following a pattern for the first time on stream. Here is the first sleeve on top of the second sleeve of a sweater I’m knitting. Opps… Instead of my usual spinning stream, tonight I’m going to preform some surgery and insert the missing section. Wish me luck🤞🏻

I’m in my “almost 50 but in denial” era so I had my amazing stylist put a chunk of dark pink in my hair today.

I adore the misconception that librarians do nothing but read all day. How cute. How quaint. How disrespectful of all the work I do on the daily to help the community by providing resources, services, information, a clean & safe environment, & a compassionate ear to your woes. But whatever.
