Today's joy in a chaotic world: I'm knitting! Now that I've figured out what I'm doing, it's calming in a similar but different way than crochet. I have to really be in the moment.

And it's just for me! I'm not creating to sell, I'm creating to create.

I stepped away from social media for a while. Between depression, grief, the cold, house issues, and the shitshow that is the U.S., I just needed to take a pause. As much as I could, anyway, and remind myself the I can only do what I can do. And that counts for something.

Current WIP. #fibermagic

New in the shop! Worsted weight yarn botanically dyed using Heather flowers sustainably grown in Ireland.

Skein on the left is unmodified, the other 2 are modified with iron.

Also in the shop are 3 skeins overdyed with indigo.

Wool from my flock

The skein on the right is unmodified. It's a lovely buttery yellow. Base yarn was a light beige. (Will definitely be dyeing another batch of this!) The other skeins were modified with iron giving a nice olive green. The last two were overdyed lightly with indigo for a brighter green. (Of course my phone won't capture beautiful greens! 😡😭 But trust me! They are beautiful!) Heather intentions: Adaptability, changes, clarity, confidence, defense, good dreams, encouragement, faith, generosity, growth, healing, the home, longevity, love, luck, optimism, passion, peace, protection, romance, self-work, spirituality, and vision. Iron intentions: battle/war, enmity, grounding, healing, manifestation, protection from negativity, protection, reversal, security, strength. Yarn was sourced from my own flock and from @bohlayersorchards.sky conservation flock. Heather was sustainably grown in Ireland by appleoak fibreworks

Worsted weight Romeldale yarn dyed with Heather.

Skein on the right is unmodified. Other skeins modified with iron.

List of intentions for Heather and Iron are in the alt text. Skeins will be added to the shop tomorrow.
