Stop the fcc from killing net neutrality. Go to battleforthenet.com to sign the petition to tell Congress you do not want net neutrality to die. This is important for all my beloved Internet people! #stopthefcc #netneutrality #battleforthenet #breakthenet #breaktheinternet #freeinternet

My first magic pull apart scarf. That was nerve wracking but super fufilling! Started with it being 22" and then dropped every other stitch and ripped it apart to the increases at the beginning. It grew to almost 5.5'! I'm super pleased and am looking forward to experimenting with this in the future. :D #pullapartscarf #pullapart #magicscarf #yarn #knitting #scarf #newtechnique #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #knit #yarnbender #scarfstagram

Finished and hanked up. I'm actually really pleased with the seafoam colors I achieved here. Really excited to eventually work this up. I think yarn dying is my new favorite. #indiedyer #handdyed #yarndyer #yarn #handdyedyarn #yarnaddict #wiltonsfooddye #wiltons #fooddyedyarn #cantstopwontstop #seafoamgreen #dyealltheyarn #dyetherapy #dyersofinstagram #backinthesaddle #yarnlife @knit_picks

Working up some of my hand dyed while I wait to get more yarn for the BIG projects. Wanted to make something familiar that I would actually wear so I went with the #willow cowl. Really liking how this is turning out so far. Just in the long haul of picking up the stitches to give the beautiful picot edge. #knitpicksstrollglimmer #knitting #knitstagram #knit #knittingaddict #yarnbender #handdyed #handdyedyarn #wiltonsfooddye #willowcowl #cowl

Decided I wanted to try something different and play with more hand painting since it gives a more vibrant color than a normal dye bath. Actually rather pleased with this one. Still have a lot of learning to do but I'm getting there! #indiedyer #handdyed #yarndyer #yarn #handdyedyarn #yarnaddict #dyetherapy #dyersofinstagram #backinthesaddle #yarnlife #stilllearning #knitpicksstrollglimmer #yarniesofinstagram #wiltonsfooddye #fooddyedyarn @knit_picks

Dyed yarn for the first time in YEARS. Need to get back into the hang of it again since it is very relaxing. Can't decide if I want to overdye the pink and yellow fart yarn with that red yarn around the fart piece. Used #knitpicksstrollglimmer base on the fart and #knitpicksimagination base on the red. They are not the best. But it's a good start. And with my shoulder hurting it's a good way to stay in contact with yarn. #indiedyer #handdyed #yarndyer #yarn #kooladedye #koolade #koolaiddye #koolaid #handdyedyarn #yarnaddict #yarnfart #fartyarn #dyetherapy #dyersofinstagram #backinthesaddle #yarnlife @knit_picks

Finally finished this hat I started back in 2014. Trying to work through all of my old hibernating projects and get them finished up. Now I have a hat to match my cowl! Yay! #knit #knitting #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #beads #odessa #hat #knithat #bamboopop #bambooyarn #mardigrascolors #necroproject #broughtbackfromthedead #hibernatingnomore

It's been a while since I made stitch markers but I have forgotten how relaxing they are to make. #knittersofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #stitchmarkers #beads #crochetstitchmarkers #knittingstitchmarkers #knitting #crochet

Because a portable project was needed. Also I needed to get it off the needles. Started as my learn to entrelac piece, did the big baby blanket entrelac, now going back to it. Gotta love how fast one sided scarves work up. #scarf #knit #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #knitting #entrelac #noroyarns #noro #handknit #portableproject #entrelacscarf #entrelacknitting

Is that a heel I see?! Can't see it as well as I would like, but there is a bit of blue in there. Purple and black for Kreacher (as he isn't sweet & innocent enough to be called Dobby lol) and Blue for the one to present it to him. Looking forward to the presentation of this commission. #fiberaddict #yarnaddict #knitting #knit #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #socks #sockknitting #gift #giftknitting #2017 #wip #twoatatime #actuallywenttoaLYSforthis #dobbyproject #yarn #circularneedles #magicloop #allthewips #cantstopwontstop #needtofinishaprojectatsomepoint #knitsocks #handknit #afterthoughtheel #harrypotterthemed #muggleborn
