I'm loving how the colors on this handspun are turning out. And I can't wait to add a collar and some shoulder buttons to this beauty.

A new colorway coming to the shop this weekend. Rich blues, greens, purples, and grays make it feel nice and moody on these dark winter days.

And just like that, we have a collar! I have such a weakness for a double knit collar ๐Ÿคฉ ๐Ÿงถ

Working to get rid of that floppy collar with a double knit band. Worth all the effort. ๐Ÿงถ

Thank you so much! The colors are nice in a dreary February

Progress means a big floppy v neck with no collar. It's a little unruly to try on and make sure it will fit, but the shaping is looking nice so far. ๐Ÿงถ

Thank you so much! Yes, it's a raglan! Worked flat a bit first to shape the neckline nicely, then joined in the round.

Getting ready to knit with a recent spin. This beauty is a wool and viscose blend, which helps give it a bit of a shine ๐Ÿคฉ ๐Ÿงถ

A double knit buttonband over a long cardigan is so beautiful and worth the effort, but oof can it be a slog. Beautiful things take time though. ๐Ÿงถ

This is the first thing I ever knit for my husband about 20ish years ago when we first started dating. It's a simple 2x2 rib scarf using LB Fisherman's Wool and is holding on pretty strong ๐Ÿงถ

It kills me to have a big floppy no collar WiP for so long, but I need to finish the bottom ribbing before moving on to the double knit button band (give me strength for that ๐Ÿคฃ).

Check out that twisted rib bottom edging though ๐Ÿ˜

More progress on this beauty. I love some good colorwork, but I also love some mindless stockinette. This design has a little bit of both!

Proof of hat. My 4 year old gets so excited when I knit things for him. He has a few pairs of rainbow socks, a rainbow sweater, and now a bright orange hat. Colors all chosen by him
