Hey, I'm behind on getting new stuff up, but I've got a ton of stuff, from 3D printed TTRPG accessories to Star Wars Weekend Magic Bands, over on our Mayhem shop. Take a look, please and thank you. troxellstradingpost.shop

I wish this for them every month because we are queer all year, but especially so in June ✌🏻

New blog post about recent shop updates and what other updates will be happening next weekend. I also asked for feedback, so if you have something you want to share, please leave a comment on the blog! kindhandsdesign.mayhem.my/blog/happy-a... #knitsky #crochetsky #yarnsky

New products and I reorganized the site a bit 🥳 kindhandsdesign.mayhem.my #handdyed #handmade #selfpromo #yarn #fiberarts #knitsky #crochetsky

There are a lot of names I do not recognize on the donations list. I just wanted to take some time and thank you all! You all are a bright shining light in a world of darkness.

One more day for this discount code!

How the dye session started vs. How it's going now. The colors have mellowed and settled into a perfect sunset, pumpkinny orange 😍 [heart eye emoji] Storefront update coming later this week 🫴🏻 kindhandsdesign.mayhem.my #handmade #handdyed #yarn #yarnsky #knitsky #crochetsky #fiberart

Introduce yourself with 10 bands you've seen live: The Strumbellas Brandi Carlile Frightened Rabbit The Pixies Blink 182 Motion City Soundtrack Lawrence Elton John Cake Violent Femmes

As we begin our work day, I've got a new blog post over on Troxell's Trading Post for you. A couple new items, and a new Clearance section because I just have WAY too much stuff that's been shuffled around since late 2023/early 2024. troxellstradingpost.mayhem.my/blog/monday-...

#FinishedObjectFriday is two dish scrubbies. #handmade #crochet #crochetsky

Back again at the #WestLafayette Farmer's Market! I also finished The Simple Things scarf. Now to block it and have it ready for next week's market ☺️ #handmade #handdyed #yarn #knit #knitsky #crochetsky

I did it. I finally updated my storefront. Please clap! Kindhandsdesign.mayhem.my

Lotta noise on the feed this Monday, so before I dive into work, I'll simply say this: Put your support towards actual humans putting in the work to bring magic into your lives. Anything less is capitulation to people that value neither humanity, nor magic.

Party people with torn clothes, ripped hems, and holes in your sweaters, the inaugural ALX mending circle is today, Friday, from 2-3 pm, Grape and Bean. Look forward to meeting you and your mending :)!

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

No finished object for me to share today, but here is my progress on my shawl. Almost through the body and I am looking forward to the next section! #handdyed #handmade #yarnsky #knitting #knitsky #fiberart

Come see us at the West Lafayette Farmer's Market until 7 pm today and every Wednesday for the rest of the season! #GreaterLafayette #handdyed #handmade #yarnsky

Today is voting day in Indiana! For those who haven't made it to the polls yet, vote411.org uses your address to inform you what candidates are on your ballot! Bonus, the LWV also sends every candidate a list of policy questions to answer. It also creates a list of all your candidate picks. #polsky

I hope you all remembered to leave tacos and margaritas out for Santa last night

Welp, guess I have to audition for the Blue Man Group now. And maybe remember to wear my gloves.

Making progress and fucking the pattern up by missing a purled section. I'd frog it but that goes against my firm belief that some mistakes don't need fixing and we just need to deal with the imperfection. Plus, I really hate frogging this yarn 🥲 #knitting #knitsky #fiberarts

Two new ORIGINAL paintings are live in my shop! ko-fi.com/cozykathryn/...

#WipWednesday is the shawl I started on Sunday. Just finished the 3rd repeat of the body and have 6 more to go until moving on to the edge part of the pattern. #knitsky #knitting #handmade #handdyed #yarn #fiberart

Fiber friends, especially if you're part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I have questions! Do you like solid/tonal colors, speckling, self striping, color pooling? Would a special bundle of various #Pride colorways in 20-50g hanks be something you'd want? #yarn #knitsky #crochetsky #fiberarts #lgbtq

Starting the week by knitting up the ravel.me/volatile-mag... with the BFL skein I posted last month. Loving how colorful it is already 💕 #handdyed #handmade #knitsky #yarnsky #wip #fiberart

It's #SelfPromoSaturday, and as I prepare to get hit with the bill to my most recent hospital visit, as well as continue to pay for my previous doctor and luxury mouth bone doctor visits, I'm just going to put these here: troxellstradingpost.com ko-fi.com/tonytroxell tonytroxell.info

Today's dye bath is a custom order for the agender pride flag colors. I will also be starting to work on the #Pride line and can't wait to make the Greater Lafayette area even more queer 😈 #yarn #handmade #knitsky #crochetsky

Need 2 new tires, battery, and something hit the underside of the Cardis so bad it dented the frame. Oh, and they're estimating another $2K for my sleep study next week. Just leaving these here: troxellstradingpost.shop ko-fi.com/tonytroxell I hate feeling like I'll never get caught up.

I got the business set up on Ravelry as a yarn shop! Now if you use Kind Hands yarn to make a project you can tag the business. Can't wait to see what people make 😄

I started this business with a totally different idea in November 2022. I had no idea it would turn into the business it is today - doing my best to make natural fiber yarns accessible and pretty. Getting to do what I love & building community in the process is the best!

The Greencastle Wool & Fiber Show was such a wonderful time! I got to meet so many talented, creative, & supportive people the past two days & I couldn't be more grateful. Kelly from Kiss Looms used one of my favorite colorway skeins on her loom demo and it made such a cute neckerchief 🥹 #yarnsky

All set up and ready for the Greencastle Wool Show! #handmade #knit #crochet #embroidery #yarn #fiberarts #madewithlove

I really want to see this worked up and if it looks like a blotting paper for paint brushes. Anyone have a favorite pattern for about 650 yds of sport weight 100% BFL superwash wool yarn? #handdyed #yarn #knitsky #crochetsky

Got some color work minis and embroidery thread drying. One batch is a mousey grey and the other is a variegated charcoal grey. #handmade #fiberarts #madewithlove

#selfpromosaturday Like using natural fibers for your knitting, crocheting, and embroidery? Then check out my online storefront! I will admit, I still have to list the embroidery yarn (wool/silk blend), so check back tomorrow afternoon if that's your cup of tea 🙂 kindhandsdesign.mayhem.my

I've been so busy in the workshop and looking up reference that I forgot it's #SelfPromoSaturday. Check out my stuff. Lots of TTRPG accessories. Help me clear up this medical debt that's increasing my credit card debt. Please do me a capitalism. troxellstradingpost.shop

I've been wrapping up loose ends as I prep for my first vendor table at Greencastle Wool Show and it's finally sinking in. I ordered my banner, designed my business card, created yarn bin tags, got extra baskets for color work skeins, another table, peg board, and I'm so excited!

Feeling this sunshine and bird song 💛 The dye will mute a bit into a more pastel range, but the cream variegation will make those colors pop! #handdyed #yarn #fiberart #knitsky #crochetsky #madewithlove

Second dye bath of the day and it is so cheery and sunshiney!

Trying to get a feel for what people want for content. I did pretty well on TikTok until I axed it because of the buy out. Now considering a Twitch stream for dye bath days, hanking and belly banding, and maybe even a make along with me? Keep your eyes peeled as I'll probably test it out soon 👀

if I catch A SINGLE ONE OF YOU doing this to our trans friends in Kansas, I will fucking wreck you. the politicians doing this to Kansas are evil. the people it is being done to deserve support and help and to not have to deal with your sadistic little jokes. grow a fucking soul.

Just placed an order and I was able to get my hands on mulberry silk embroidery floss 🤩 I think I'm going to mix the batch between somethings you won't find in a store and tonal solid colors. So dang excited!

Are you looking for cool looking math rock randomizers? We've got a good amount of dice towers to choose from, from designers like @fatesendgames.bsky.social and @layersingreen.bsky.social! Take a look, and pick one up!

Feeling ready to be out of the season of browns, muted oranges, and tans. I love winter, but I'm ready for those perks of green and new life. I think it might be bleeding over into my work... #handdyed #handmade #yarnsky #knitsky #crochetsky #fiberuary #fiberarts

Video 11 of how to knit- let’s learn a stretchy bind off 🤩

I love reposting art posts. It's like putting someone's artwork on a digital refrigerator and making sure all your guests see it. Did you see my refrigerator? Did you see this beautiful art? Don't you want to follow my friend and put their art on your refrigerator, too?

Layer art size comparisons! All the new pieces go up tomorrow hopefully!

Finally heard back from Community Health after their first batch of instructions were... not helpful. Going to be calling the sleep study doctor this afternoon to figure out the next steps. Which means paying for ANOTHER office visit. So, I'm just gonna leave this here... ko-fi.com/tonytroxell

Dyeing the yak/merino/silk blend and some merino/nylon minis. I am loving how the greyish-brown yak blend is muting and softening the colors 🤩 #handdyed #handmade #yarn #fiberart #fiberuary

Thank you to those who tossed a bit of coin at me last night. There's no new blog post today, but the shop is open if you'd like to help out by picking up some stuff through there. troxellstradingpost.shop
