I took my knitting for a walk and actually managed to find some quiet greenery in the park.
.
There’s been a lot of talk about accessibility while I’ve been away (by ‘away’ I do mean lurking), and while the fact that we *have* to talk about it isn’t great, the fact that the conversation is happening seems like a good one.
.
For now, I have removed the Ravelry link from my profile so that no one can click it and do themselves any harm. I’m looking into the best places to host my patterns elsewhere, so that they are still available to folks who are in danger from using Ravelry. I can do this relatively easily because I have, like, 4 patterns, but my sympathies for designers whose entire careers have pretty much been dumped due to inaccessibility.
.
As for the current financial discussion, I’ve only been witness to this second hand so I don’t want to accidentally strawman anyone. For the record I don’t think I’ve ever used the recommended yarn for a pattern for various reasons, and yarn subbing is a skill I am still not entirely competent at but there are things I can do to help. As a knitter, gauge swatches are helpful, as is thinking about what qualities the garment requires from the yarn, but none of these are super easy to grasp as a newbie.
.
That is why, as I designer, I always try to say 'you should use a yarn that has these qualities, and here is the yarn I used in the photos.’ It doesn’t fix everything, but hopefully it helps.
.
If you have any ideas, either about where to host my patterns or what your tips on yarn subbing are, let me know in the comments.

Have you ever had a project that you just want to end?
.
I like to always have a pair of socks on the needles - preferably some plain ones. They’re nice, mindless knitting to work away on in front of the TV, or while chatting to a friend. These ones though… the crimping on the yarn is really messing with my tension, even though I do like the finished texture. They take a bit too much concentration than I’d like, and my other sock needles currently have a pair of gloves on them, so my only choice is to get these finished.
.
But… ugh…. they’re taking so long… if I do this again I’m definitely skeining and washing the yarn before I reknit it.

messengers deliver others’ stories without speaking their own–but maybe if this one could settle down, she would tell the right person.
I know y’all have seen this doll before, but I am putting her on auction on my insta at 3:30 pm est today (3/3/20) until 8:00 pm est tonight. Starting bid is $35 so this is your rare chance to get a doll by me for cheap!

1 pink and 1 green on etsy! joined underground, these sisters grew outside a sugar refinery and turned super sweet.
see my stories on insta for the glow in the dark action!
Second colorway for the shroom katz! The pink mushrooms and eyes glow in the dark when charged by light. As always, hand sewn and mostly machine embroidered.
In shop news, I took on a lot of customs in a short time and after I finish the last two, I’m gonna reevaluate how I do things! Again! It turns out that customs make me eeeeeven slower than usual (and push myself more, too). When I bring them back they will have to cost more. On that note, thank y'all for being so patient with me while I work out things like pricing and business methods. It is still my first year!
I also have holo stickers and regular stickers coming soon! <3 and I think the next minidolls are gonna be toothy. I mean, it is about time.

Those of you feeling fruity, the shop’s been updated!
As for me, I think the naptime hustle is going to have to take a backseat to an actual nap. Between a pooplosion all over that gorgeous changing pad cover pictures in he precious post and caffeine that refuses refuses to stick, I’m all out of juice! I’ve never wanted to have an affair with my bed so badly….

Darling Daddy gave Mommy an entire HOUR to paint this morning. Beats those 8 minute sessions, eh?
Happy Sunday, loves.

➰ Happy Monday! A couple posts back you saw the first few rows of my knit hand towel I was working up for a friend who newly moved into a new home. I’m happy to say they are done and will be on their way to her (now that I *finally* weaved in the ends). Working on special gifted items makes my maker-heart happy!
➰ Yarn: @Hobbylobby I Love This Yarn Cotton in white.
♥ Pattern: Fancy Rib Stitch Hand Towel found on my blog! {Link in bio}

Hey all! Long time no see. I have been kind of on a hiatus from crafts lately and it feels good to be back! It’s been a busy Summer for us already, and my hubby and I are excited to get away next weekend for our 15 year anniversary. ❤
➰This project here is a special one for a friend. It’s usually just the right motivation I need to pick up my needles or hook again!
