I have to post evidence to prove I'm not a complete fraud.
Several hanks of yarn laying on a table. A few are solid black, and a few are variegated greens, more blue in some areas and more yellow in others.

Peat bog progress! I feel like my singles always look better when the bobbin is full or almost full.
Handspun yarn on an e-spinner bobbin. The yarn is in shades of brown, green, and a dark golden yellow.

Ended #tourdefleece day 2 by starting my immediately beloved Peat Bog (on more BFL, dyed by Fat Cat Knits) spin. I'm about 100% certain this is what I'll work on this evening too. #stashdashers #stashdashers25
A handspun single on an e-spinner bobbin, in the sunlight. The yarn is a deep warm brown, dark forest green, and muted golden color. The colorway name, peat bog, is accurate.

One skein down, currently soaking. 162 grams of 2-ply DK-ish BFL. #tourdefleece #stashdashers
Oatmeal colored handspun yarn on a niddy noddy, held in the sunlight. A large, loosely twisted skein of the same yarn, which looks much more grey, laying on a table in artificial light.

#tourdefleece day 1 is off to a good start! I'm hoping to fill this bobbin and ply it from a center pull this weekend. I did start with the bobbin maybe 1/4-1/3 full, I have no yardage goals so that doesn't bother me.
An up close picture of single ply handspun yarn on an e-spinner. The yarn is a natural oatmeal colored BFL wool, pretty rustic looking, spun at about a fingering/sport weight.

If you're going to the people's pride event today in KC, come find me and grab a free bandana! I'll be there before the parade only, because I'm old and tired lol.

Bring back gym shaming but ONLY for this.

Happy #WIPwednesday ! I'm working on a test knit for Witching Hour Knits even though I haven't finished spinning the yarn for it 🤫
Here's yesterday vs today.
A knit project in progress: a rectangular wrap with eyelets and a large cable detail on one side, knit in a rustic, oatmeal colored, handspun yarn.

Fiiiinally some decent progress on a WIP from last summer. It had been on hold for several months. I was planning on long sleeves, but now I think it would be cute with short sleeves, and I could wear it through the spring and early summer since it's cotton.
A knitting project in progress, laying on a couch. It's a boxy raglan cardigan in black and white stripes. The body and button band are finished, but I just started the sleeves.

We're at it again! Yes it's midnight.
A large rectangular pan on a stove. In the pan, two skeins of yarn in the process of being dyed a vibrant sunset gradient: black, purple, fuchsia, orange, fuchsia, purple, black.

Ok babadook
Rolling Stone cover featuring Ghost's Papa V Perpetua. He's got a big stupid hat on and long pointy fingers. He's literally dressed like the babadook at an award ceremony.

Swatches for Laser Tag Incident and Haunted Swamp Noodles.
Two knit swatches. One is black, neon green, and mustard yellow. The other is a more muted version of the same color palette: grey and charcoal, bright green and forest green, deep gold yellow and some brown.

How am I supposed to get any knitting done when dyeing yarn is this much fun
Three hanks of yarn on a table. Each one is about 60% solid black, which fades into grey and then a deep red color. Three hanks of yarn held in natural lighting. Each one is about 60% solid black, which fades into grey and then a deep red color.

Another granny hexagon cardigan? Absolutely. But this time it's the wrap version by @shaiyeh.bsky.social

Don't tell anyone I added another WIP to the pile.
A crochet project in progress, which is the beginning of a granny hexagon wrap cardigan. The yarn is a gradient cake from light grey to black.

Well! This continues to be fun. Oh no.
Two full size skeins and two mini skeins of yarn. They are all dyed in shades of green, blueish grey, black, yellow, and some brown.

I can post this here because y'all are cool and can keep a secret. The secret is: this is so much fun omg.
A top down view of a big stainless steel pot on the stove. Yarn is being dyed with black, chartreuse, and golden ochre pigment. It looks like haunted swamp noodles. Two dyed mini yarn skeins from the previous picture, but now they're dry and twisted into hanks.

My top secret blocking method, finally revealed. Sewing pins. A towel over a flattened cardboard box. That's it.
A crescent shaped shawl (rusty orange, black, grey, and a bit of white) folded in half and pinned to a makeshift blocking mat, which is actually just a striped beach towel on top of cardboard.
