What’s the word for when you spend 2 hours cleaning your living room for a party but everyone hangs out on the back porch instead?

I just got out of a 2.5 hour meeting titled “budget hell” and I was the only one having a good time.😈

I went to therapy on the wrong day and realized it when I ran into my therapist in the bathroom. As a recovering over apologizer it felt good to have a real reason to apologize. 🙂

I ended a meeting for my second job by saying “Welp, I have to go open a window for my cat to sniff out of now.” The person I was meeting with laughed and said “I understand”

SSK is this Saturday in Nashville and I’m bringing a new colorway with me! Introducing Doing My Best!

Hi pals! I’m still here… barely. 😅 If you’re coming to SSK in Nashville on July 19 and are hoping to find something specific in my booth let me know! I make no promises but I’ll do my best. I recently got a part time job and it’s something I’m SO EXCITED about. (🧵/1)

It’s been a while since I got a “Shame on you!” in reply to an email. 😇

🧶 buy yarn, fund abortion! 💜 I’m donating 10% of my sales through May 28 to Abortion Care Tennessee! ACT is an abortion fund in Tennessee that helps folks in TN access their out of state reproductive care.

Hey Cincinnati area pals! I’ll be at @heymakedo.bsky.social this Saturday! Come say hi and squish all the yarn and fabric with us!

PSA to all my friends with boobs - schedule that mammogram if it’s time! I just had my second one ever and will happily answer any questions if you’re nervous or scared about getting it done.

👋🏻 Hello! I’ve got some news for May so let’s goooooo - I’m going on vacation! Tomorrow I’m packing up and heading to MI for some much needed time away. Any orders placed April 29 - May 6 will ship on May 7 - I got a new look! And naturally I painted my nails to match my new brand colors. (📷2/3)

I Love Someone Who Had an Abortion on merino fabric is my new personality. 😎

#ShowMeYourKnits, more grey! This pattern is the #LaserTagShawl by @xandypeters.bsky.social with yarn from @oldrustedchair.bsky.social knitted up into a chaos rainbow.

We’re working on personal space today

I washed up some skeins of Let Me Tell You About My Uterus for a wholesale order yesterday. I’ve only got a few in stock on Sock and DK right now, but @heymakedo.bsky.social will have some in shop at the end of the month!

😵‍💫 overheard two men at the dermatologist waiting room talking about the best place to buy a pistol. “I got one for my wife there and just leave it in my truck. if it gets stolen I’m not losing much” I can’t make this shit up. Wtf is wrong with these clowns?!

Today’s post stretching to do list: ★ Discard offering of dead mouse from the outdoor cat that I’m definitely not getting attached to ★ Wash a bunch of yarn ★ Finish labeling LYS day skeins ★ Pack open order --> USPS ★ Follow up at dermatologist (sunscreen is cool, wear it!) 1/2

I dyed up some Mind Your Own for a wholesale order today! This colorway is inspired by somebody who took time out of what I presume is a busy day to tell me they think I’m gross for donating to abortion funds.

Hi pals! I restocked the shop, surprise!! It’s been quite a week over here and I couldn’t get it together to do the whole officially announce it ahead of time thing this time. 🫠 You can see everything I added here: oldrustedchair.com/pages/just-a...

I woke up with the storms and tornado warnings at 12:45 am and never went back to sleep (because of said storms and warnings) Still did the stretching thing with my cat though! 🙌🏻 Shop update tomorrow, I’m gonna be moving slow today but things will get done.

Hi! I just shipped the last of the preorders from February. 😎 I’m thinking I’ll have a shop update on Friday with any extra preorder skeins and some restocks. 🧶

I dyed up a whole bunch of Crystalline and has to include some merino fabric. It turned out so good! ✨ Shop update in a few weeks, I want to get the remaining preorders out the door before I update the shop. 💗

Postcard was the second best selling color at NYF, and I’m dyeing up your preorders this week! The general feedback on this color is folks love the splashes of color peeking through the light blue base. I had a lot of fun pulling some pairings for this colorway on Saturday!

🧑🏻‍💻 I crunched the numbers and the results are in! 📈 My top selling colorway at Nash Yarn Fest was I am Pro Fossil with 11 skeins sold! The general feedback on this color is folks love the neutral grey and subtle flashes of color that pop through. 1/🧵

Nash Yarn Fest was incredible. Thank you sooooo much to everyone who showed up to the Haus of Yarn booth to say hi. I can’t say enough how much I appreciate your support and words of encouragement to keep going. 🧵/1

We are resting hard before #NashYarnFest tonight. Only time will tell if I remember how to be a person around a lot of people. 😸

Today is for washing a bunch of Rebel Girl and the pans I dyed them in. Theeeeeen I get to paint my nails for this weekend! 💅🏻

I did yoga in pajama pants I made and I didn’t rip any seams. 😎

If you can see how sloppy my appliqué is you’re standing too close. 😎 Only two more words to zig zag! Hoping to finish this shirt later today or tomorrow.

Sod Sayer matches my orange nail polish so well! 😎 Sod Sayer is inspired by an anti abortion harasser who was convinced that I was planting grass seed on a concrete walkway to take away his god given right to harass people going to the doctor. 🤷🏻

Good morning fellow time change zombies! 🧟 Finally, we have a reason to contact our government officials in anger! 🙃🫠

✨Caturday vibes only✨

Howdy pals! I just made the donation to Abortion Care Tennessee. I’m so excited because this donation will be doubled by the national network of abortion funds! 🙌🏻 Thank you so much for making this happen! I’m going to start dyeing preorders soon. I can’t wait for y’all to get your skeins!

I lost my headphones a few weeks ago (Bluetooth earbuds that attached with a cord so I can hang them on my neck) and just found them washed with my yarn cable ties so that’s fun!

I went to the dentist and got my semi annual praise for actually flossing my teeth. 🏆

I’m going to the dentist this morning and I’m absolutely not going to forget I’m going to the dentist this morning.

If I don’t have what you’re looking for in stock I’ll probably dye it up just for you! 😎

👋🏻 todays the last day for all of the preorders!! Don’t forget I’m also donating 10% of in stock sales to Abortion Care Tenn. 💗 Exciting news! This donation will be doubled by the national network of abortion funds as part of their yearly fund-a-thon! 💗

✨Motivational Monday with Hose Cat ✨

Preorders for both new colorways, Make ‘em all Dance and Postcard, will be open through March 3. I’m also bringing skeins of both colors with me to Nash Yarn Fest, you can find me in the booth with Haus of Yarn on March 15! Come say hi and *maybe* I’ll tell you why I almost didn’t release these. 🤫

Started off Saturday in upward facing otter. 🦦 Yoga with Hose Cat is the best!

Rebel Girl 2025 preorders are open! 🙌🏻 I’m also donating 10% of in stock sales through March 3 to Abortion Care Tenn, an abortion fund that helps Tennesseans access out of state care. 💜

Only one of us is ready for preorders to open today and lucky for y’all it’s me, the one with opposable thumbs who can work a computer, and not this guy, who is a cat. Preorders open at 10am central!

Hey I’m back! I had a good few days off in Chattanooga, and hung out with my pal Pascal at the Tennessee Aquarium. 🦦

Good morning pals! I got my website updated with listings for Wednesday’s preorders. Feel free to take a peek now, the listings will show as sold out until preorders open. 1/2 oldrustedchair.com/pages/just-a...

Sneak peek of my new colorway Make ‘em all Dance Make ‘em all Dance will be available for preorder on Feb 26, and will be in the booth with Haus of Yarn for Nash Yarn Fest on March 14-15 🧵/3

Sneak peek of my new colorway Postcard! Postcard will be available for preorder on Feb 26, and will be in the booth with Haus of Yarn (and me!) at Nash Yarn Fest on March 14-15 🧵/4

I originally planned to have RG preorders open by now, but I wanted to include the two new colorways in the update. I realized if I hold off until the end of the month I can actually plan to take a few days off (last full day off was in Dec) which will be much needed before Nash Yarn Fest! 😸
