I'm drying yarn outside today. This is from the very last dye day before Boston Fiber Festival

Next week will be all about labeling and packing.

Blocking before and afters are the best before and afters.

Pattern - Hagstone Blouse designed by .sjosvard

Yarn - my new Suri Sparkle base held with my Skinny Scrumpet MCN. I wanted a super light layering sweater and the combo of lace weight fuzzy yarn, and very drapey light fi*****ng yarn worked very well.

This is the first sweater pattern that I haven't had to modify to accommodate my large upper arms. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

It's my dudes!

I have two Suri samples going right now. First is another mousearmymittenco design, Isurus. It's SO light and lofty. The color is more accurate in pic 2.

Second is Acute Triangle, designed by Nim Teasdale

Sneaky peeks!

I've been wanting to add a fuzzy yarn to my lineup, but it had to be something *I* could wear (no mohair for this sensitive skin), and work with my current bases.

Introducing Suri Sparkle - it's drapey and lofty, shiny and soft. I've loved working with it by itself and held with another yarn.

It'll be making its debute at Boston Fiber Festival Sept. 12&13

It's baby!

I think I set up a more permanent social media spot which hopefully will make it easier to post more often. It's just an old dresser in the unheated front hallway of my old-ass house, but the light is good. It needs some tweaking - maybe a shorter surface and a new backdrop? Though I do love this old-ass wallpaper.

I blocked my Isometric Screenshot! this week (designed by mousearmymittenco ) I modified the pattern slightly to work with one of my 198g fade sets. It's perfect for an on-the-go project, and you end up with a wonderfully squishy shawl.

You'll be able to see this sample in person in a couple at the Boston Fiber Festival

It's almost time!

One of my business goals this year was to add more vending events and I'm so happy I was able to add Boston Fiber Festival to the list.

I've spent the summer prepping some new things and restocking old favorites. Keep an eye out for sneaky peeks.

A week away Chez Play - we were lucky enough to have time and funds to visit family in last week. I did a lot of relaxing, finished a couple of projects, saw so much nature, and started a new project.

NGL coming back to real life was hard, but I'm back to work this week prepping for fall shows and generally trying my hardest to be a bad-ass grindset bossbabe in oppressive heat and humidity.




Heads up, y'all! I'll be out of town this week so any orders placed will go out when I return.

Yarn delivery! I stopped by New Bedford Fiber Arts today to drop off a selection of variegated and coordinating semisolid fi*****ng weight yarns. Included are several one-of-a-kind, not-repeatable colorways you won't find anywhere else.

Downtown has so many cool shops and cafes. If you're passing through on your way to the Cape, it's worth a stop. Be sure to check out ⚑️𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐁𝐞𝐝𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝, πŒπ€ π“π«π’π§π€πžπ­ π“π«π¨π―πž ⚑️ too!
