If you’re not at Flock this weekend, like myself, I’ve got a bit of entertainment for you. 😅 Let’s Talk Socks, Sweaters & All the Yarny Things 🧦🧵 | Lofty Loops Yarns Ep. 91 youtu.be/hcwoyWSzZv8 #knitting #knittingpodcast

Fully leaning into my time off to spin my little heart out.

I finished spinning up the braid in under 2 hours. That may be a new record for me. Uninterrupted time + my EEW + Squid Game makes me unstoppable.

Trying to clear some bobbins in preparation for Tour de Fleece and I’ve just finished the 12 20g bumps from Plies & Hellhounds advent last year. #spinning #handspun #yarn

Just finished book 3 of the slowest burn ever and found out book 4 doesn’t release until June 2026 😭

My 2025 Advent Calendars just went live! 🩵 loftyloopsyarns.com/products/24-... #knitting #yarn #handdyedyarn #crochet #yarnadventcalendar

The April Color Cube Club reveal! The richness of this colorway was a pleasant surprise and not at all what I expected when I first drew this card. I can’t wait to see how this knits up! The April club is still available for preorder through tomorrow with orders shipping next week! 🥮🍒

The April clubs are all dyed up but the club is still open throughout the week! I couldn’t resist playing around with some Organic Polwarth combed top I had too! I’ll share the final, dried images shortly. #handdyedyarn #spinningfiber

Can’t tell if these are hot flashes but my temperature sensitivity is v messed up lately. Cooking Easter dinner and I now understand why everyone stands around fanning themselves. 😮‍💨

Happy Saturday and Easter weekend to those that celebrate. I’ve got an oven full of yarn and fiber but I’m starting my morning slow with some coffee and sock knitting.

In a non-yarn-related turn of events, I may have some very good news coming my way next week! 🤞

Speaking of, the Magic & Whimsy Preorder Collection is live! loftyloopsyarns.com/collections/... #yarndyer #handdyedyarn #knitting #crochet #smallbusinessowner

Cute teensy swatches giving me a serotonin boost today. These are a mixture of colors from the Magic & Whimsy collection (available now!) swatched for a Doppio Sweater. Which one is your favorite? I’m leaning towards the pink/yellow combo! #knitting #handdyedyarn #doppiosweater

A new episode is up on the ‘tube! youtu.be/z-Fg8Kpt_YA Featuring lots of socks, a handspun Grid Gambit, a fluffy advent sweater, and more! Come hang out for a bit. ☕️ #knitting #handdyedyarn #sockknitting #knittingpodcast

And here are the four tonal colors, available this Friday in the Magic & Whimsy collection. They’re unintentionally perfect for Spring / Easter! 🐣

The variegated colorways from the Magic & Whimsy collection. These were originally dyed for the weekly advent in 2024 but wanted to bring them back alongside 4 coordinating tonals. All of these colors were based off some of my favorite romantasy books. Can you guess which ones based on the names?

I’ve been putting this off for far too long! The Advent of Magic & Whimsy from 2024 is coming back as more than just sock sets! 8 colors total, 4 variegated & 4 coordinating colors on loads of bases 🤗 April 4th, 2025 @ 4pm cst

Nebraska in a nutshell. 69° and sunny, but we’re also in a winter storm watch. 🙃

Yarn: Wildest Dreams (YOTM 2020 March) by The Cozy Knitter Pattern: Lofty Loops Vanilla Socks using a US1.5 9” circular needle

It may be snowing outside, but these March Color Cube Club skeins are making me very excited for Spring! I love the bright pops of speckles on the soft pink base! 🍊

Color Cube Yarn Club | March 2025 | Now open! The colorway has already been dyed and I’ll share it very soon! It is full of speckles! loftyloopsyarns.com/collections/...

Putting my Birks back on for the first time this year feels like a hug for my feet.

One sock is complete using my January Color Cube Club. I love love love the speckles in this one! Yarn: January Color Cube Club on Lofty Sock (no longer available) Pattern: Lofty Loops Vanilla Socks using a US1.5 9” circular needle

I finally got around to showing off my finished Coorie in Poncho for the upcoming podcast episode. I adored working on this project and can definitely see myself knitting another in the future! Pattern by @amypalko.bsky.social // Yarn by Chelsea Yarns & @loftyloopsyarns.com

A very limited run of Tulips is available now through Valentine’s Day. 🌷 Whether you celebrate Galentine’s, Palentine’s, the day of love, or just want some Spring vibes, these socks sets will be a perfect way to treat yourself! 💝

Thank goodness it is 5pm. 😮‍💨 Time to settle in with a new book!

The February Club reveal! These are available in Feb only and will ship at the end of the month. I wanted to keep the blue-grays from January, but added a bright pop of pink for the gorgeous color in the sunset. Layers of dark blue & black speckles complete the look! 🩷

Today was unexpectedly very difficult so I treated myself to an evening of simple crochet ❤️ I love how mindless this pattern is. The only thought is picking colours. Pattern: Little Squares Blanket Yarn: 2023 advent from @loftyloopsyarns.com and some undyed Merino Sock as contrast.

Color Cube Yarn Club | February 2025 | Now open! The colorway has already been dyed and I’ll share it very soon! This one is so so good with an added pop of pink! 🩷 loftyloopsyarns.com/products/col... #yarn #knitting #crochet #handdyedyarn

I found some lost Vlogmas footage from Dec 20th, around the time my momentum died/I got sick/carried away with family things. Too late to post it? It’s got some good 2024 stashed yarn content!

Just finished my second read of Fourth Wing. Kindle the first time and Graphic Audio the second. When I tell you the GA was SO GOOD: understatement! The sounds of the dragons, the music, the atmosphere… so so sooo good. And I absolutely cried like a baby (again) bc it was heart-wrenching. IYKYK

The color shift in this handspun is everything I had hoped for! Pattern: #GridGambitCowl by Samantha Guerin Main color, France on Cashmere Elm DK by @treehouseknits.bsky.social Contrasting handspun, Villain fiber by @lladyllama.bsky.social #knitting #handspunyarn

She’s got to have both paws on the yarn at all times.

Ok, gorgeous handspun cake. I see you! I’m finally going to attempt to knit with my own handspun yarn! Fiber from @lladyllama.bsky.social 😍

I need to get back to the sunshine days of Arizona. This dreary cold is not it rn.

Was really looking forward to an Infinity Nikki lunch break, but the server is down for updates. The universe must be telling me to knit instead.

A cutie little stuffie made for my great nephew. ☺️ Pattern is Voodoo You Love Me by Susan Claudino, yarn by Malabrigo, eye & felt from Michael’s

The season 2 finale of Shrinking just broke me. This show hits so deep. 🥺

Set my first boundary for 2025 today and while I feel very good about it, I also feel very sad.

January Color Cube Club Reveal! 🩵❄️🐻‍❄️🦭 The first Color Cube Club reveal is here! I just had to kick off the 2025 club with these gorgeous icy blues and cool grays — no regrets! I love how this colorway turned out! Available for preorder until January 24th! #handdyedyarn #indiedyedyarn

I bought a Hobonichi Techno Weeks for 2025 and am trying to get into the habit of actually using it — I do this every year and fall off around April. 😅 But! I need your holy grail pen recommendations, pretty please! 🖊️

How many Nespresso pods is too many Nespresso pods in a day? Asking for me.
