Thank you for the help when I was trying to figure out which border I would like to put on this granny square afghan. I settled on single crochet for a few rows and then crab stitch. However--I hated the "going backwards" part of crab stitch, so I kind of made my own version of it. 😬 🧶🧶🧶#crochet

I’m one more episode of Ken Burns’ The American Revolution away from finishing this huge and squishy scarf. The gradient is from KnitCircus in their Mater colorway. I’m holding it double with my Honeycomb. It will go under the tree when finished :) 🧶🧶🧶

This cursed timeline we are in has made me extremely suspicious of writers with two z's in their name. I know it makes no sense but I can think of three zz writers off the top of my head who are garbage.

I know there is a lot to doomscroll right now, but you need to plan some sort of offline activity and go do it. Walking outside, going to a museum, cleaning your home, taking a nap, cooking some food, buying your favorite pastry; lots of options. It'll feel better than more time on your phone.

Since it seems like this movie is never going to stream, I’ve been looking for it at estate sales. I finally found one. Now, off to the library to use their equipment to digitize it.

I had an email from a lovely client who needed help finding a scarf pattern I had made last year. She remembered it because I had posted photos of my pets wearing it! I made mine with two strands of Meringue Fluff Suri Alpaca/Silk but I think it would be amazing in my new Mochi DK! Links below. 🧶🧶🧶

I don’t have enough pie to deal with this reality.

Making a French Silk pie today. I don’t have a choice, really. My husband is convinced he doesn’t like it. I’m aiming to correct this.

Hi do you have someone in your life who likes yarn and maybe that person needs a present for an upcoming holiday??? Because I have HOMES FOR YARN (and other craft stuff) available for adoption this holiday season ☺️🧶 #knitting #crochet measuredandslow.studio/shop?categor...

It’s a beautiful morning today. These little clouds and the gorgeous sunlight coming up…amazing.

It’s lovely to go to bed without a sense of dread.

I hear that KPop Demonhunters are the most popular costume choice this Halloween. Pretty exciting! You can get your skeins of my new colorway, HUNTR/X and make something special for the Demon Hunter in your life. Or you, if you’re the Demon Hunter. 😍 🧶🧶🧶

Can't wait to see what the squirrel's finished Jack O'Lantern looks like.

Spinning friends, Nik of Hipstrings is fighting a rare lymphoma and has been undergoing treatment for it. Jillian Moreno & The Knit Girllls are hosting a craft-a-long with Hipstrings fibers to support Nik & Jill. You can find the details here on Jillian’s Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/142132... 🧶🧶🧶

I really appreciate the constant cat content here on Bluesky. My beloved Mushu passed away a year and a half ago and I miss him so very much. Seeing your kitties reminds me of all of the things I loved about him. ❤️😭

DMV friends, if you’ve been looking for a good place to help out your neighbors, the Capital Area Food Bank is a great option.

I’m almost finished with this crochet afghan. I’d like to add a nice border to it but haven’t been able to come up with anything interesting. The border would be the same colors as the body and I would like something that I can do about 3-5 times around the afghan. Do you have a fave border? 🧶🧶🧶

Fresh braids in the shop! L to R: HUNTRX , The Last Unicorn, Fall is Burning. www.KimDyesYarn.com

My new colorway is available to order now! Inspired by Kpop Demon Hunters, HUNTR/X is splashes of black, hot pink, bright green, purple & turquoise on a bright purple background. I'm making a Cold Hearts Hat with HUNTR/X and Charcoal on Stroopwafel DK. www.kimdyesyarn.com/weeklyshopup...

Starting a jar of vanilla extract. Costco had vanilla beans at a great price.

Last call for Everybody Scream~ Spooky and Halloweeny :) www.KimDyesYarn.com

Everybody Scream is a perfect colorway for the Autumn season and...well...every morning when we wake up and read the headlines. Here it is knit up into a Point Edwards Mitt (pattern by Fairlight Fibers). I like this pattern because they are snug on my hand. (Pattern link & yarn link in comments.) 🧶🧶

Is there a broccoli rabe shortage? I cannot find it. My husband says I’m the only one who uses it. 😤

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

Just rescued a chipmunk stuck in a downspout. Now off to rip back a hat I started the other day. My work is never done.

So worried about our friends who rely on SNAP benefits. There will not be any payments in November. This is immoral and heartless. If you can, please provide extra support to your local community food banks. They were already struggling due to inflation. Now there will be more who need their help.

Starting my morning by roasting the last of the garden tomatillos and peppers for salsa. I didn't wear gloves while handling the peppers and will be sure to forget this when I touch or rub my eyes later. 🫣

The finale of Task was a certified tear jerker. Mark Ruffalo blew me away in this series. So did Thomas Pelphrey and the rest of the cast, to be honest.

:::squints eyes:::

If there’s one thing I’m going to rescue at an estate sale, it’s paintings of birds and Christmas tree ornaments that are birds.

If i see you quote dunking on the new government accounts, i will mock you relentlessly.

Good morning! There are things I’ve been working on over here….here’s a clue for a new colorway which is coming soon. 🧶🧶🧶

Thank you for your enthusiasm for these sock kits! I have spent the weekend making more kits so they are ready to ship. 🧶🍄

400!?!? 🤩🤩🤩

If you’re looking for a delicious and addictive pull apart bread recipe, try this bacon and scallion milk bread from Woks of Life. It’s a winner for us and I can think of so many different flavor varieties I would try. thewoksoflife.com/bacon-scalli...

Made it to the orchard today and now these lovelies are taking a bath. Crispin and either Nittany or Stayman. I cannot remember which I decided on.

I'm still taking orders for these Fall Fan Faves :) It's deliciously crispy here today and perfect for sitting and stitching.

Should I blow off work and go to the apple orchard?

Friends, I just shipped off a bunch of yarn and fiber to The Knitting Room in Wyndham, NY. They are bringing them to Cakeapalooza in a few weeks, so please be sure to stop by and say hello while you’re there!

Also in Stardew Valley news: You may snag the Fall (The Smell of Mushrooms) kits in my shop now. Work on the Winter (The Wind Can Be Still) is underway. www.kimdyesyarn.com/patterns/p/s... 🧶🧶🧶

Did I ever show you my finished Sockhead Hat in the Stardew Valley colorway? The bfl/silk yarn is so luxurious and beautiful to use. I have a limited quantity of those skeins left but you can order it dyed on a yarn of your choice as well. www.KimDyesYarn.com

Charring some homegrown tomatillos and peppers for enchiladas tonight. 🤤

When I can’t sleep, I look at celebrity gossip online. Between the Nicole Kidman/Keith Urban separation and the new Taylor Swift album release, this week has been a doozy.

I keep stress baking cookies over here. These rainbow sprinkle cats are just the right vibe for today. I also finished the second of my mitts just in time for chilly morning walks! The colorway is Everybody Scream on Brioche DK and it’s in the shop right now. www.KimDyesYarn.com

I don’t think I’m a very demanding person. But I’ll be honest and say that I think by now, spray bottle engineering should have been perfected.

To give my new Mochi DK yarn a try out, I made a #korshavncardigan by Strikkekaffe. I feel in love with this cozy design with an enticing basketweave stitch pattern. This sweater flew off of my needles and I will really enjoy wearing it this fall! Links for yarn and pattern in comments!
