Aaaand suddenly I haven't posted anything in a month 😅

Been working on some big renovations in the studio, and prepping yarn for Estes Park next month! Excited for Colorado, and excited to show you the studio renovation soon.

Mr. Bradley Patadley is breaking up your doomscrolling to remind you:

1) Breathe
2) Unclench your jaw and pull your shoulders down from your ears
3) Drink some water
4) Go for a little walk outside
5) Have a snack

After that you may resume your existential dread.

Ten years ago my husband and I got married! This has always been my favorite photo from our wedding. Here's to the next ten! 💛🥂
A newlywed couple leaning against a railing, kissing. The bride is wearing a sleeveless gold sequined gown, with a large arm tattoo showing, and dark hair swept up into a mass of curls at the nape of her neck. The groom is wearing a black suit with a gold tie and rose bouttenier. The bride's arm hanging over the groom's shoulder holds a bouquet of blueberry roses, white anemones, and various small accents.

A couple weeks ago I put out a newsletter introducing the yarn packs I put together for Joji's new Take Your Time cardigan, and announced the very low-stakes KAL I'm running that starts on April 16.

Link for kits below⬇️, place your order by March 26 to get your yarn in time for the KAL start date!

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration's Executive Order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer.

#Fiberuarychallenge 28) Gratitude

My instinct with a prompt like this is to be very serious. The world is a little too heavy right now, so I'm going simple:

I'm grateful that I woke up this morning feeling refreshed, and that my stinky lil guy came and sat with me for a little bit. 10/10 morning

FRJ. I didn't see your first post in time, so I guess I'll have to read a full recap on Reddit. I commend you for watching as long as you did!

#Fiberuarychallenge 27) Sip & Stitch

Anyone who knows me knows I drink mostly water - and if you hear me say I'm drinking a Natty, it's actually a Natural Klarbrunn. Unflavored sparkling water is my absolute jam, and Klarbrunn is s-tier in that category.

Boycotting isn't always feasible for every person for a multitude of reasons. This is a great reminder that reducing spending still hurts the bottom line. Similarly: a $5 donation to a cause is still $5 that can be put to use for good.

Each drop in the bucket matters, folks.

When it comes to boycotting, just a thought. It’s okay if you can’t quit a company cold turkey. In Master Gardeners, when we encourage people to switch to native plants, the goal is 70% native, not 100%. If you were shopping at a store 80% of the time and cut it back to 60%, that 20% still hurts.

#Fiberuarychallenge 26) Where in the World

📍Madison, Wisconsin

I'm originally from Michigan, and went to college in Kentucky. I made my way to Wisconsin in 2014 and have only ever regretted it when there was heavy snowfall before I owned a snowblower. 🥶😅
I used to hate winter but it's grown on me!

#Fiberuarychallenge 25) Handmade Gift

Occasionally my friends and I go on a sunrise hike. On this outing all of us had coincidentally worn hats knit by yours truly. Nothing quite like handmade gifts being appreciated! These three are exceptionally knitworthy people.
Four people standing on a rocky lakeshore in front of the sun rising over the lake. All four people are wearing handknitted hats and are smiling open mouthed at the camera.
