Me, while eating dinner outside in NYC: This place looks like it is next to CBGB. Me a moment later after looking CBGB up on Maps: I'm sitting staring directly at CBGB. It's a John Varvatos now? After dinner, we peered into the windows and it looks like it's a preserved space and a store?!?! OK.

Are you receiving any great cooking related newsletters? Would you mind sharing them? I currently get Smitten Kitchen but the rest are baking and I am not baking much these days.

My Yoke Stitch Calculator for knit and crochet sweaters had deactivated for some reason. But I noticed today, and now it's fixed. 🧶 yarntowers.com/yoke-stitch-... Figure out your sleeve and gusset counts, and your back/front stitch numbers here for free.

Purl & Anchor in Hanover, MA is a new retailer! They have my Mochi DK instock. I haven’t visited yet, but I met Kimberly at Nash Fest in the spring and she is lovely. 🧶🧶🧶 purlandanchor.com

Yes, I have photos of one of the sweaters hand knit for Mr. Rogers by his mother. I love the details like the pockets. 🧶🧶🧶🧶

After my weekend in Ann Arbor, I drove to Oberlin to drop off some fiber at For Ewe. Then, to Pittsburgh for the night. In the morning, I visited an old bestie at the Heinz History Center—When I came close to the exhibit and heard Mr. Rogers singing, I welled up. I miss him.

It’s already been a delightful day here at Spun in Ann Arbor! I was able to spend some time gabbing with THEE Jillian Moreno which is always a treat. 🧶🧶🧶

My listen today for the drive to Ann Arbor for my pop up at Spun. I heard about this book from a delightful librarian who popped into my pop up at @moonandyarn.bsky.social who highly recommended it. See you tomorrow & Sunday at Spun! 🧶🧶🧶

And speaking of fiber--I've been dyeing a lot of new fiber to take with me to my pop up event at Spun Ann Arbor this coming weekend. I'll be there Saturday and Sunday. Hope to see you there! If you can't make it to the event, I do have some fiber that I quietly put into the shop last week. 🧶🧶🧶

Spinners, how's your Tour been? I have been doing some spinning myself when I have a few minutes and it's been doing wonders for my nervous system. I mostly spin braids that have seen better days or are mess-ups in the dyeing process-- These are BFL/Silk and Polwarth/Silk. 🧶🧶

My Ever Changing Moods Shawl is live! This shawl began life at Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. I saw all of the new colorways that Into the Whirled had created, and I wanted to design something that would blend some of them together. #knitting

But it was worth it to see Japanese Breakfast and DCFC perform You Are A Tourist!

Drove through this to see Death Cab for Cutie last night.

The figs from my tree are looking so good this year.

My Pyrex pan exploded on me a few weeks ago. Not surprised to see that it’s because lesser quality is at play. We are seeing consolidation happening in the fiber world, too, which makes me sad to see.

Me 5 seconds into the new Little House on the Prairie show: This is Baby Carrie erasure.

Taking a quick break from loading the car to admire my new WIP. I’m determined to use up a lot of leftovers in this Old Shale blanket. Loving the way the colors are flowing so far. Yarns are being held double. Since the balls are different amounts, colors are added randomly. See you tomorrow! 🧶🧶🧶

I’m heading to Pittsburgh Saturdayfor a one day event at @moonandyarn.bsky.social ! Hope to see you there. 🧶🧶🧶

Grateful to have gotten some good rain last night! And for cooler temperatures. Our sweet Duncan does appear to have lost his hearing, he didn't react at all to fireworks this past weekend. I'm glad it was not a stressful holiday for him.

Planning to fire up the grill at 9am tomorrow because of the ridiculous temperatures and humidity. We suspect our dog Duncan is losing his hearing. Tomorrow night will be a big test of our theory.

"Do you think anyone is going to recognize us?" "Don't worry. We're wearing dark glasses." "You're right. We're practically invisible."

Finished listening to Yesteryear. My opinion on the writing went up a bit but part of the ending just didn’t land, IMO. I get what the writer was after and like that they are engaging with the issues they are presenting. It was riveting at parts, for sure. I give it 3/5.

Couldn’t sleep last night so I went and spoiled the ending of Yesteryear for myself. It gave me enough of a twist to want to continue listening to it. I don’t think the writing is very strong, but I will finish. As a yarn dyer who has watched tradwife aesthetics dominate the market, I have feelings.

I bought a hot pepper plant from Costco and I cannot keep up with the amount of peppers it is yielding. Should I try to pickle them? I throw them into dishes here and there but I have sooooo many. I also accidentally planted a Caroline Reaper pepper plant. More on that later, LOL. #gardening

The Lay-Z-Boy scene in Widow’s Bay made me scream with laughter! This show is incredible.

I've scheduled some events for the next little bit. I hope to see some of you in Pittsburgh, Ann Arbor & Minneapolis! 🧶🧶🧶

Hey, if you’re also finding the annoying rage bait accounts on here bad, a great way to filter them out is to subscribe to this Labeler. It tells you who posts incessantly, changes their profile picture frequently. I just saw one this am who posted over 100 times yesterday. bsky.app/profile/stec...

Update: Finally had time to see The Sheep Detectives and adored it. I identify with the Winter lamb. ❤️❤️❤️

My website is increasingly under attack--probably by bots mining listings again, but it could be more malicious. I know that malicious actors will copy a website and set it up under a different domain and then steal from people who think they are buying from me. Cont'd 1/2
