I am working on other ideas while I am writing up Sleeping Satellite. #knitting #swatch #magpiefibers #nestworsted #intothewhirled #pakokkusock

So here goes the spot blocking. #knitting #lolabeanyarnco #waxbean #textillianstudios #sleepingsatelliteshawl #briochelace #spotblocking

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.

As expected, there is a visible fold line, but I believe that I can spot block that out by just wet blocking that portion with towels and a spray bottle. In other news, the writing is underway, photoshoots are to come, and tutorial(s) are in the works. 🧶 #lolabeanyarnco #sleepingsatelliteshawl

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...

First time aggressively blocking a shawl folded in half. If it doesn't work out at the fold line, then I reblock it (after getting additional blocking pads and pins). #knitting #lolabeanyarnco #waxbean #textillianstudios #sleepingsatelliteshawl #briochelace

If you’re free tomorrow, 10/23, around 7:30 ET, grab your WIP, your drink of choice, and come hang out with us live on YouTube!

We’ve got plenty of ready-to-ship skeins available on the site, from lace weight all the way up to bulky. So there’s something for everyone. Hope y’all are doing well today. 🫶🏾 lolabeanyarnco.com

Look at what came off the needles last night! I have yet to get an accurate rendition of the color in any of these photos. #knitting #lolabeanyarnco #waxbean #textillianstudios #sleepingsatelliteshawl #briochelace

Sorry for the flash photo, but it's party time here. Looks like everyone at Rhinebeck is having a great time. (Yes, I am jealous.) But I do have the finishing of my large version of Sleeping Satellite to console me. #knitting #lolabeanyarnco #waxbean #textillianstudios #sleepingsatelliteshawl

Just added 400+ skeins to the shop across a bunch of bases. So if you’ve been hunting for a skein or two to round out a project (or start a new one 👀), I’ve got you covered. lolabeanyarnco.com 🧶🫶🏾 #LolaBeanYarnCo

This week's prompt for #showmeyourknits is spooky. I am currently working on a larger version of the Sleeping Satellite shawl using @lolabeanyarnco.com Burgundy Beam colorway on Wax Bean. The inspiration for this is the blood moon. #knitting #sleepingsatelliteshawl

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

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

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... 🧶🧶🧶

The Final Black Label Drop of 2025 Is Here! We’ve officially opened preorders for the last Black Label installment of the year and it’s available now at lolabeanyarnco.com! #LolaBeanYarnco #BlackLabel #BadBunny

This is the back of Sleeping Satellite. Looks just as good as the front. I am going through about 50g of yarn a week, so hopefully, this will be off the needles in about two weeks. The charts are done, so I am in a pretty good place with it.#knitting #lolabeanyarnco #waxbean #sleepingsatelliteshawl

new video, who this?? youtu.be/FK1Mjv0Lgm0?...

If museums are makin' you sad, maybe blame your great, great grandpa instead of the museums.

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!

Got some studio time in today to work on a restock of the Three Crows Fiber bespoke colorway, Three Crows, along with a few coordinating shades. Hope y’all are having a good one. 🫶🏾 #LolaBeanYarnCo

Originally, Sleeping Satellite was just going to be one size, using one mega-skein of Moonshine. But then that came off the needles right before vacation, leaving me without a project to go down Rehoboth Beach with. #knitting #lolabeanyarnco

Yarn: www.kimdyesyarn.com/weeklyshopup...

Meet Mochi Dk! This is a brand new yarn that I first shared at the trunk show this past weekend. It was very popular and I am so pleased at how it was received. Mochi is an air blown yarn with a cotton chainette core with soft and light alpaca fibers blown into it. I loved working with this yarn!

The listing for the yarn is live in the shop now! www.kimdyesyarn.com

This week's prompt for #showmeyourknits is autumn. This is my Shadow Weave shawl design. Fiber Optic Yarns held a KAL for it, and I used her Copper to Verdigris paintbox gradient and Whacky Khaki colorway to make this version. 🧶

Sleeping Satellite came off the needles just before leaving for vacation. Today was the first day that I had a chunk of time and daylight to do the blocking. Wow! I did not expect it to block out this large! I can't wait to see how it is once it is dry. #knitting #lolabeanyarnco #waxbean

Transparency post: I sold 21 copies of the Drift Cowl. (There were no Payhip sales.) I also sold $102 of my stash. The final image is with rounding up and covering fees. Thank you for your support. #knitting #trevorproject #driftcowl #destash #29bridgesstudio #textillianstudios

We’ve received quite a few emails from folks who missed out on the Calypso Cowl + Showtime Stripes Hat kit preorder we did to coincide with the release of the patterns designed by our friend Courtney of @flynnknit.bsky.social.

I'm packing up to head out tomorrow to Kansas City for my trunk show with @lolabeanyarnco.com at @yarnsocialkc.bsky.social this weekend! What am I bringing? Why have I been so quiet? Well, I'm bringing so many good things! Stardew Valley Fall-licious sock kits? Check! (Pattern in comments.) 🧶🧶🧶

Reminder that $3 from every Drift Cowl pattern sold through September 20 will be going to the Trevor Project, as well as all of my sales from my Ravelry destash. Also, @29bridgesstudio.bsky.social is donating $3 from every Drift Cowl kit. #driftcowl #knitting

This week's prompt for #showmeyourknits is WIP. I believe that I have actually found a finish for my Sleeping Satellite shawl design that will work. Fingers crossed! 🧶 #lolabeanyarnco

I was going to do a fancier photo, but for the life of me, I can't find my albums from high school. I was going to include Diamond Life and Promise in the photo. 🧶 @lolabeanyarnco.com

Insanely excited to eat KC BBQ with my friend and see all of your gorgeous faces at YarnSocial KC!

!!! Update !!! One of our designers that was going to be showing at the Vermont Sheep & Wool Festival has dropped out due to health reasons. If you know of any other designer that would be interested in showing their work in Designer Alley, please contact me. #showmeyourknits #knitting #crochet 🧶

We just want to pause and say a huge thank you to everyone who has picked up copies of @flynnknit.bsky.social patterns and to all of you who grabbed yarn kits to go along with them. Seeing the excitement and the way you’ve rallied around this collaboration has been such a gift.

Due to recent concern trolling that I have seen this weekend, I am including anything sold through my destash through September 20th to go to the Trevor Project. #knitting #destash www.ravelry.com/people/texti...?

I am working through Sleeping Satellite, with some ripping back involved. But I think the rework is worth it. Hopefully, soon, I will be writing it up. #knitting #lolabeanyarnco #waxbean #textillianstudios #sleepingsatelliteshawl #briochelace

So Leventry is done for the #charmcitypal . The yarn is Mitchells Creations Lagniappe Sock in the colorways Flower Bomb and Strawberry Colada. This is a gift for a friend. #knitting #paknitwit #leventryshawl #mitchellscreations #lagniappesockyarn

Here's a swatch of the stitch pattern for the Drift Cowl, but in two colors of the same base (@29bridgesstudio.bsky.social Non-Superwash Sock in Overt and Aubergine). In the pattern, I discuss different ways you can change the pattern up because the pattern is just a jumping off point. 🧶

You should definitely subscribe to the LBYC and @flynnknit.bsky.social newsletters if you haven’t already, before the curtain rises. Trust me… you don’t want to miss this haunting. 👻 Sign up at lolabeanyarnco.com. 🖤 #LolaBeanYarnCo #FlynnKnit #Beetlejuice

I decided to dye a colorway inspired by my beloved Stardew Valley. These skeins are a bfl/silk fingering but you can order it on other yarns if you’d like. It looks nice with Grass on the Other Side ( green) & Lady Mary (blue). www.kimdyesyarn.com/weeklyshopup...

Remember when I said I had turned the page to Autumn/Fall dyeing? Here are the colorways that will get you into the right mood for cooler temps and shorter days. All ten colorways are open for orders right now. They are shown below on Flan Fingering--a luscious single ply merino/silk fingering. 🧶🧶🧶

I generally only use 90% of the yarn that I list for a pattern (unless I state otherwise) to allow for swatching and being a bit off with gauge. For the Drift Cowl, I had 44g left of the Non-Superwash Sock and 16g left of the Suri Silk. 🧶

Tried posting a 27-second video on here earlier that crashed the app. So instead I will give you this jam that somehow came up in conversation tonight. youtu.be/D01oLT4a10A?...

Scarves needed…

Photos of drifting sand were the inspiration for the Drift Cowl. The interplay of light and shadow suggested using two yarn bases in the same colorway. I chose @29bridgesstudio.bsky.social Non-superwash Sock and Suri Silk in Rose Gold to bring this project to life. #knitting
