You bet your B***Y I picked up this pattern! I adore this maker and pattern designer, and I suggest that all my lovelies welcome at least one little fluffy spider into their homes!

I know I've been silent, and I'd say my life is chaos... but when isn't it? Adhd don't help, especially when I forget to take my meds! Who but one of the beautifully nuerodivergent can take meds on a rigorous schedule and then one day pause and go GOSH DARN- FORGOT TO TAKE MY MIXED AMPHETAMINES! Le sigh.

And while the men folk in my family will INSIST that baby food jars are for organizing your workshop (meaning of course construction and woodworking tools and sundries), I have taken a sharp left turn and am commandeering them for MY workshop! Arts and crafts win this battle!

(No, seriously... baby food jars are the best. Thank you **er for still making what for my family is a legacy of glass jars the PERFECT size to organize any craftsman's small supplies!)

To give yall a window into my attempts to balance my sanity- behold! My inheritance of buttons! Grandma passed back in April, and a lot of work is being done to make sure her belongings find loving homes. I, therefore, have inherited ALL of her crafting supplies! So now... I'm sorting all manner of containers of buttons that I used to fish out of her sewing table and dig through wide-eyed with my little fingers like they were buried treasure. (My formative years for properly goblin-like habits!) They still are- and every item I make featuring even one of them will be awash with the same almost unbelievably pure and unwavering love she had for me and all the rest of our family.

I love you, Grandma. And I miss you every day. Thank you so much for every kind thing you ever said and did for me- I treasure every little echo and ripple that you left behind. Every memory. And while now I've gone and made myself cry, I've never been so grateful to have buttons scattered everywhere and in desperate need of sorting. 🥲

Oooh dear I've been awful with the updates! Please meet the world's most adorable distraction, and consider forgiveness as I am the night shift baby-wrangling nanny of destiny!

The deed is done! Two ounces of Corriedale spun and ready to wind off the spindle. Next... the BFL! So excited to show you guys when I get it started! 😍 This is the second attempt I've made at spinning and I am so thrilled to see tangible improvement!

So happy to have stopped by and gotten my hands on this kit!

Oops I started again...

So a bit ago when I picked up my drop spindle, I realized that I'd broken a teensy piece from the spiral cut into the top and that as a result, the single was going to keep slipping out and sending the thing teetering. Sooooo while I was out I impulsed a backup.....in a kit with some wool.....don't look at me that way!!!

Spindle:
- Top Whorl, 1.8 oz
Fiber:
- 2 oz undyed Corriedale wool combed top
- 2 oz superwash BFL top dyed by

Many thanks to for having exactly what I needed and wanted all in one kit!
