Many people come into the shop and say something like "I like your earrings" or "omg are those pen nibs?" and I say thanks, and yes, and then often hand them a card for @lionesselise.bsky.social, who has made nearly all of the earrings and pendants and necklaces I wear.

Also, if you're shopping small and it's possible, consider using cash. It keeps more of the money in the community and less in the profits of credit card companies

We’re so happy to welcome Deb Steytler’s art to the store! We’ll be showcasing these pieces and more for the next little while, come by to check them out! Glad to add some more color to the walls 🧶

When the fabric on the hat you're knitting is kind of structural at the moment. I'm sure it'll block out

I almost never use an actual cable needle to cable with. Mostly I don't use a darning needle to cable with either, but it's working out!

The pattern is Dubbel Dark by @babycocktails.bsky.social www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

I finished a sweater so fast that I don't totally believe it. One week start to finish!

Just coming here to say how awesome and amazing @printinkling.bsky.social is.

This is brilliant. And true.

We’re so thrilled to have Wild Violet Fibers 🧶 this weekend for a trunk show! Come help us celebrate the end of our Annieversary month with some incredible colors. Erica will be here today and tomorrow. #knitsky #arlingtonma #knitting #yarn

Remember how we collect altoid tins? This is why. Annie’s partner makes these beautiful polymer clay tins, and they’re part of our craft fair today. She also has these incredible koi paintings. So lovely! 🧶 #knitsky #arlingtonma

Had an English teacher once who said the real tragedy of KING LEAR was how it was almost five hundred years later and we still didn’t have a good solution for aging parents. Should’ve realized she was going through some shit.

🐑 Domesticated sheep can’t shed their own fleece, so shearing is essential for their health. Without it, they risk overheating, mobility issues, and flystrike. Ethical shearing keeps sheep comfortable and cared for. 🌿✂️ #WoolFacts #SustainableFiber #EthicalWool 🧶

Sheep, some assembly required

So we've been talking about my 13 sweaters in 13 months project over on the shop account, but then something occurred to me this morning. I started this project to get a whole pile of things off needles, and instead February, March, April, and May are all entirely new knits. Oh well.

100% this

And of course, there's nothing quite like a 2x2 ribbed hat to make you fundamentally question your ability to count to 2.

This has been my mostly daily coffee cup for 2 months, and the sticker has been on it for the whole time. It's holding up great.

Hey Arlington knitters, our Stitch Noon runs from, well, noon to 2pm. Stop by and show us what you’re making! 🧶

The Manos Ideal and cables were clearly made for each other, I can't wait to see the finished piece post blocking. I'm seriously contemplating knitting Campari in the same yarn in the black. 🧶
