It’s been a wild week but we’ve rebuilt the bulk of our website and it’s live once again. Still waiting to take the sew-along pages live, they need some custom dev work, but you can search any of them and get the posts.

Our site has been down all day, sorry if you’re one of the people who’ve emailed / messaged us looking to purchase a pattern. I’m working on it!

It's a strange time to be a small business and have to promote your work, but last week I released the Cortland Trench in size 32 and I'm very happy to have that added to our catalog! It's also 20% off this week on our site if you're in the market for a cute trench!

Well this looks much better! (Creepy unblocked pic further back in my feed). Already cast on the next pair – I’ll have an update on those sometime in the next 3-18 months based on how long each of these socks took me. #knitsky #handknitsocks 🧶

I truly can’t believe I found a second garment for these teal shirt buttons! Bought them for a photo shoot and thought I’d die with them in my stash. Though honestly I still probably will cause there’s a lot of them 🤣 #sewsky #garmentsewing #grainlinestudio #grainlinepoppy

Waiting for our supposed ice storm with tea, pattern formatting, and an episode of Murder She Wrote where Teddy the Beagle was FRAMED for murder! A beag would never!

If anyone needs a break from the news, here’s two silly photos of my beags eating beans. They make me laugh so hard even when things are falling apart everywhere 💕

More info on that tracking Town Bag and what the heck tracking even is if you don’t already know. I sure didn’t until Okie’s foster mom got us involved!
My Track Laying Town Bag with Shoulder Strap
Every Sunday morning since last June, weather permitting, I wake up early with the beagles to get ready for tracking. Only Okie goes, but Poppy is excited to eat early so she gets up with us too. We e...

Tracking this morning with Okie! He’s wearing his new sweater I knit him. He did a perfect track and now I’m knitting a sock while we wait for the next dog. Also first use of my tracking #fieldbag mod! #sewsky #beagle #dogsports 🧶

Good morning! Thought I’d start the day off with an intro to my beagles since they’ll be showing up here a lot. Poppy on the left and Okie on the right, both from the fabulous beagle rescue Midwest BREW! They’re the bosses of my life and they take their job SERIOUSLY!!! #sewsky #beagles
