Taking a quick break from loading the car to admire my new WIP. I’m determined to use up a lot of leftovers in this Old Shale blanket. Loving the way the colors are flowing so far. Yarns are being held double. Since the balls are different amounts, colors are added randomly. See you tomorrow! 🧶🧶🧶

I’m heading to Pittsburgh Saturdayfor a one day event at @moonandyarn.bsky.social ! Hope to see you there. 🧶🧶🧶

Grateful to have gotten some good rain last night! And for cooler temperatures. Our sweet Duncan does appear to have lost his hearing, he didn't react at all to fireworks this past weekend. I'm glad it was not a stressful holiday for him.

Planning to fire up the grill at 9am tomorrow because of the ridiculous temperatures and humidity. We suspect our dog Duncan is losing his hearing. Tomorrow night will be a big test of our theory.

"Do you think anyone is going to recognize us?" "Don't worry. We're wearing dark glasses." "You're right. We're practically invisible."

Finished listening to Yesteryear. My opinion on the writing went up a bit but part of the ending just didn’t land, IMO. I get what the writer was after and like that they are engaging with the issues they are presenting. It was riveting at parts, for sure. I give it 3/5.

Couldn’t sleep last night so I went and spoiled the ending of Yesteryear for myself. It gave me enough of a twist to want to continue listening to it. I don’t think the writing is very strong, but I will finish. As a yarn dyer who has watched tradwife aesthetics dominate the market, I have feelings.

I bought a hot pepper plant from Costco and I cannot keep up with the amount of peppers it is yielding. Should I try to pickle them? I throw them into dishes here and there but I have sooooo many. I also accidentally planted a Caroline Reaper pepper plant. More on that later, LOL. #gardening

The Lay-Z-Boy scene in Widow’s Bay made me scream with laughter! This show is incredible.

I've scheduled some events for the next little bit. I hope to see some of you in Pittsburgh, Ann Arbor & Minneapolis! 🧶🧶🧶

Hey, if you’re also finding the annoying rage bait accounts on here bad, a great way to filter them out is to subscribe to this Labeler. It tells you who posts incessantly, changes their profile picture frequently. I just saw one this am who posted over 100 times yesterday. bsky.app/profile/stec...

Update: Finally had time to see The Sheep Detectives and adored it. I identify with the Winter lamb. ❤️❤️❤️

My website is increasingly under attack--probably by bots mining listings again, but it could be more malicious. I know that malicious actors will copy a website and set it up under a different domain and then steal from people who think they are buying from me. Cont'd 1/2

Chicago, I love you.

How did I get on extreme weather fear mongering Bluesky AND dying pets Bluesky? 😭😭😭

Mildly obsessed with the red kiwis I bought at Trader Joe’s. Very sweet.

Cats on the internet remain the best.

It's a big shipping day over here today! Murmuration and Dolly's Coat of Many Colors are heading out. In my down time, I'm working on a #Marettimo with Dolly's colorway and Raspberry Leaf Tea for the CC. So far, I'm loving how it looks. 🧶🧶🧶

Is The Sheep Detectives a good movie? Serious question.

Wound up two skeins of Dolly’s Cost of Many Colors for a new project. I’m having project indecision right now! 🧶🧶🧶

Smoothie Fingering has been replenished in the shop. This is a gorgeous silk and linen fingering weight yarn that is ready for the warmer temps. I used Moody Forest & Stormy to make my New Terrain by Yamagara. 🧶🧶🧶 www.kimdyesyarn.com/fingering-we...

Hi! I'm puttering around here trying to get things back in order after MDSW, but I did manage to get Murmuration and Dolly's Coat of Many Colors pre-order listings in the shop for those who couldn't make it to MDSW or Nash Yarn Fest. 🧶🧶🧶

My next new sample for MDSW is the amazing Fiona sweater by Vicky Chan! I used Mochi DK for it and love how it looks and feels knit up this way. The pattern is very well written and easy to follow. I highly recommend. 🧶🧶🧶 I used Silver Lining as the MC and Marshmallow as the CC.

Hi! It's almost time for MDSW! Today is my last dyeing day to prepare for it and then it's twisting/labeling, packing & getting everything organized for setup on Friday. My first new sample for the show is New Terrain from Yamagata. 🧶🧶🧶 I use two strands of my silk/linen yarn, Smoothie Fingering. 1/

Good blog post from @abeeinthebonnet.bsky.social on how to discern good knitting patterns from bad (AI generated). www.abeeinthebonnet.com/blog/how-to-...

Our new album is out today! A sincere request to help spread the word!

Hi! Whew. I feel like I can finally catch my breath. I've been so so busy over here and needed to stay super focused to make sure I got everything done. I'm heading to Nash Yarn Fest this week. The market is Fri & Sat. Info here: www.nashyarnfest.com Dolly's Coat of Many Colors is coming, too. 1/

Easter dinner is chicken soup (thank you, allergies) and chocolate soufflé. I highly recommend!

Every single software I use for work has turned into a horrible user experience since they decided to implement AI. I don’t use the AI features they keep offering but the sites are less stable and glitchy. Very annoying.

Every morning this week, I’ve been dealing with brioche knitting mistakes I made the night before. I need to stick to daytime brioche-ing, I think. 🧶🧶🧶

I'm home from the fun Tidewater Knitting Guild retreat market and ready to hit the ground running to prepare for Nash Yarn Fest, which is less than a month away! Hope to see you there! 🧶🧶🧶

I forgot to bring my knitting with me on this trip to the Outer Banks, but it’s gorgeous today and my booth is all set up in time for me to get my toes into sand and soak up the ocean. I’ll be at the Tidewater Knitting Guild market today from 12-5. Hilton Garden Inn in Kitty Hawk. 🧶🧶🧶

Pastel rainbow skein #2 is complete 🧶 This fiber is such a joy ro spin. BFL/Silk by @knitterkim.bsky.social in Sorbet #handspun

Are you wondering if I’m still dyeing yarn? I am! It’s all been projects I can’t share with you yet, but soon I’ll be able to talk about them. I did add a small event for this weekend, if you’d like to come. The Tidewater Fiber Guild’s retreat market is Saturday. I’ll be there with a booth :) 1/2 🧶🧶

Seeing Buddy Guy show up at the Oscars in leather overalls and his trademark polka dots made me really happy. We were able to see him and Kingfish perform last summer and it was a night of pure joy.

If you’re looking for a diversion from all of the horrible out there, you can go read r/laundry and find out about giving your murky kitchen towels a “spa day”. www.reddit.com/r/laundry/s/...

These tech companies just refuse to be thoughtful pieces of society.

Take Out is on HBO right now and it is very good. Highly recommend. A Stream Take Out on HBO Max play.hbomax.com/movie/56a5a4...

The universe is sending me warnings today. First, my entire cup of coffee spilled. Second, my plate of eggs knocked upside down onto the floor. Should I go back to bed and wait until tomorrow?

This type of scenario has my $$ on why the other hospital in The Pitt is diverting patients.

Obsessed with the texture in this WIP. I’m holding two strands of Smoothie Fingering (a gorgeous silk and linen blend yarn) together for this amazing marled top. The pattern is New Terrain Tee by Yamagara. 🧶🧶🧶

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

I've been fighting it all day, but I'm giving into another cup of coffee right now.

Be My Baby is a sweet colorway perfect for Valentine’s Day. This is a luscious merino and silk blend combed top. In the shop :) www.kimdyesyarn.com/spinning-fib...
