Social media is hard.
Here are some socks I just finished for my funny little child who will only wear odd socks, matching enough to call them a pair but odd enough for her to happily wear 😂🤣
They are bright, and dark. Made with some odds and ends I had left from my Halloween advent and a commercial black I don't remember buying.
I confused my Kitchener stitch again and have a row of purl as the join. One day I'll figure out what I'm doing wrong 🤷🏻🤦

Did you know for a tiny wee bit extra I can change your skein of yarn into a ball, or a cake. Which you can choose to center pull or use as normal. It's great if you don't want to wind the balls yourself, if you want to use the yarn as soon as you get it or if you don't have the equipment to do it.
Yarn pictured is Dancing with the fae (a few left on the website) and Shadow (sold out)

Excuse the less than perfect photo, the edge of the cyclone has made for a very rainy day in Blenheim, how is it in your area? I'm hoping it hasn't been as bad as expected!

I've been quiet. It's getting pretty standard for me I guess, but not the best way to run a social media page though.
A lil clip with the help from canva about my newest offerings.
Save fuel and stay at home and knit? Sounds ideal ......

Lightning Strike Navy with a shock of white. Such fun.

Surprise!
I've quietly been dyeing some new yarns.... A smart business tact would be to create hype and suspense. Instead I'll just throw you all a surprise.

My January finished products.
Actually I made a few things as so didn't crochet or dye wool as much.
But summertime sun hats! Wire in the brim to give structure. Each one is free-handed and I think they're all headed to so if you are interested in one I will have to custom make you one!

I am still here. I promise. Social media posting takes a lot of effort sometimes.... Plus I'm making stuff and not finishing much or just not taking photos. Or photos not good enough to show others 🤣
Here's a throw back, to when I made my mother dear a bouquet of mini skeins. I forgot how awesome it was. Do you think I should make bouquets? It's not a silly idea is it!

A special post for the bags... I ended up making 4 of the project bags for my advent. Each one has a different handmade moon patch, beaded, applique and embroidery mixed to form a very individual piece!
The bags were made with a gold moon child print I bought from , they have been quilted with a batting to give the bag a nice structure.
The liner is a fabric I got from a "factory destash", it gives a pop of colour for a little surprise. Inside there is a little pocket and a handy hanging loop.
I ended up doing a crochet drawstring because I misplaced the stuff I was going to use.
Each person who received a bag has told me how much they love them so I must have done a good job 🤣

The optional add on.... The full Skein.....
The full moon!
The palest of yellow with light grey craters. Then I got a bit "errr it's so plain" and added some yellow highlights.
A colour to go with each of the 12.
