I made some reflective hats for dog walkers and runners in these darker months, but it sure is hard to capture on phone camera! The blurrier the photo, the more the reflectivity shines.

Booth mock-up for this weekend at the Jingle Bell Fair (www.broomfield.org/617/Jingle-B...) 🔔🎄❄️
I've worked really hard to knit/sew/bead and design the display (the first iteration had NO place to sit). Didn't finish everything I had hoped, but feeling less stressed now

I bought the wool for this sweater on a trip to Iceland in 2017 and finished fall of 2023. Sometimes knitting takes a long time to start and to finish.

On November 15th, I will have my first ever booth at a craft fair! Colorado friends, join me at the jingle Bell Market at the Broomfield Community Center!
I will have ornaments, hats, wall art, and bags.
It has been fun prepping the booth itself as an art project.

For #showmeyourknits cable week, do faux cables count? I loved making this brioche sweater. It's so plushy and soft (thanks malabrigio)!

#showmeyourknits cable lace edition. I made these gloves 10+ years ago (before I knew about stretchy bind-offs)

It was amazing walking from room to room and seeing the different techniques learn and build off of each other in the longest continuous textile history.
My favorite might be this plumage poncho!

Manos de Mama Julia!
This little shop combined weaving, knitting, and crocheting into unique garments that they'd adapt to your size there. It was refreshing after seeing so many of the same souvenirs at lots of vendors. And it shares my namesake! Worth a visit if in Cusco.

#showmeyourknits cable week! I wear this cable knit hat all the time because I just love how it matches the fall aspens here in Colorado.

Two beautiful fiber art exhibits from Cusco:
1. Museo Maximo Laura had some beautiful woven tapestries that I wanted to dive inside of
2. Davis Torres at Xapiri Grounds drawing animals morphing into their traditional weaving pattern and preserving their story

The alpacas at Machu Picchu were a welcome site after a long but beautiful 4 days of hiking the Inca trail. A little softness in the world.

Made this pillow for my #scorpio sister. The hardest part was fudging the color changes on the black side of the pillow so that the bands matched the front.

Our 2nd day in Peru we took a natural dyeing and weaving course. We dyed baby alpaca yarn with leaves, fungus, and beetles. We learned so much!
Weaving this bracelet definitely helps me appreciate all the work and skill that goes into all the Peruvian textiles.

I am filled with love, support, community, and joy from our wedding day! So much planning and now she's my wife! ✨
And yes - of course we hired a sheep to come to our reception. Thank you Beethoven and the Farm at Sparrow Hill!

Advice for future brides who knit: pick out your wedding dress before a shawl pattern.
I made this last summer, then chose a lace dress. The fabrics competed too much, but I proudly wore the shawl for our welcome party!
