Thank you, my yarn friends. I have such joy seeing the inspirational work of my fellow creatives this weekend. We are thrilled to see that there is such a wonderful community of supportive and generous crafters. Like all small businesses, each purchase makes a difference and brings a smile to our faces. Each and every one. After a long day on my feet dyeing yarn and prepping tomorrow’s mail, I am happy to report that I am within spitting distance of my sales goal for the weekend. It feels amazing. I could not have done it without you. Hopefully there’s one or two more people out there that still need yarn and we can actually meet our goal today. Have a restful evening. #yarnovernewyork #knittersofinstagram #weaversofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #indiedyersofinstagram #yarnlove #commuknitty #smallbusinesssaturday #indiedyedyarn

This week is a major turning point for me personally and professionally. For the last 2 years, I’ve been working hard to balance my job as a stage manager and my growing yarn-dyeing/knitwear design business. There have been many great triumphs (doing Set and Reset at Lincoln Center, launching my independent website) and hardships (getting robbed, illness/injury). All in all, it’s been a blessing. I decided earlier this year that this week of shows with Trisha Brown Dance Company at BAM would be my last major stage management gig. This week was meant to be a joyous retirement and celebration of my launch into full-time fiber work. My recent injury is slowing me down and my path is not feeling very clear right now. I know that the road ahead will be full of challenges. It’s scary but it’s time. Let’s see what the future holds. (I know you’re going to ask about the yarn in the photo, it’s by @turtlepurlyarns and it’s awesome.) #yarnovernewyork #indiedyedyarn #indiedyersofinstagram #knittersofinstagram #sockknittersofinstagram #smallbusinessowner #nyclife #lifewitheds

I know I said I was going to try to dye today… no dice, my friends. My rib cage is still out and I am feeling quite unwell. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes to my open orders. I have an appointment tomorrow and hope to be feeling some relief soon. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me directly. It is important for me to run my business with transparency. As I continue to mend, I am working on my Cozy Memories Blanket, watching Nailed It and wearing my Giger Socks using @witchcandyyarn Oil Slick. (She just listed some go see if she has any left.) #yarnovernewyork #knittersofinstagram #cozymemoriesblanket #indiedyersofinstagram #lifewitheds

I never posted my finished Lochbroom socks, did I?
.
I really love the colour inversion on these. I don’t know if it was intentional because I didn’t notice until I was halfway through the second sock, but if so that’s fantastic.
.
Yarn is @kelpieknits’ Lochbroomcolourway on Pitter Patter base, pattern is Soy Vanilla.

Whelp, time for some cable surgery. This is what happens when you *think* you know what the pattern says but you… don’t.

A second shot of my super-secret Nessie socks for my housemate. Taking gratuitous advantage of the better lighting in a friend’s living room.

A late 2019 FO which had to be kept secret for a little while - a pair of socks for my housemate made with @lovehandyed’s wonderful Nessie colourway.
.
I believe this was a yarn dyed specifically for @lochnessknitfest, and was absolutely perfect for my housemate’s birthday present.
.
Note to self though: knitting socks in secret is not as fun as it seems. I ran super close to time with these, and almost resorted to giving one as a birthday present and saving the other for Christmas. Luckily it didn’t come to that!
.
Have you ever had to knit anything in secret? Any tips in case I have to try it again?

2020 is the year I get over my fear of wearing knitted sweaters.
.
I’ve always felt kind of bad about my aversion to knitting sweaters. It just feels like a Thing Knitters Should Do, but several years of acute dysphoria and a general awareness that my body will change, dramatically, somehow, has made the prospect of putting a large amount of time into something that won’t last long and will probably make me feel bad… not a great idea.
.
The hormones have, more or less, made their changes (other than whatever it is they’re doing to my hairline), and I can’t put my life on hold for anything else. I’m tired of running from my dysphoria. 2020 is the year to beat it into submission, one stitch at a time.

Back at Mum’s for the holidays, and any attempts to keep cat hair away from my knitting, or clothes, or face, quickly went out the window. Luckily I’m only knitting for me this time.
.
Here’s Dora, looking much more chill about my existence than Holly was.
.
Yarn pictured is @kelpieknits’ Lochbroom, and I am absolutely adoring it. I almost missed my heel shaping because I was having too much fun.
