I never thought I would enjoy getting up and going to work early (I’ve been working nights since the age of 18)... but I think I am starting to like it. Pretty yarn always helps. 🤣 #ontheround #yarn #indiedyer #makingyarn #authenticsharing #dyestudio #domesticwool (at Lincoln Street Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btvo7rKFgdf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j30efwnkersk

So I’ve been in a bit of a knitting funk lately... and after scrolling through my insta feed, I’ve realized this is a regular occurrence for me during this time of year. I have no idea why, nor do I have the desire to question it. I’m just going to keep carrying around all my projects and I’ll get to them when I’m good and ready! 📄 Darkwater by @knit.love.wool 🧶 Everyday Lite in Eclipse & Natural . . . . #ontheround #darkwatersweater #ravelry #knitting #indiedyer #knittersproblems #domesticwool #authenticsharing (at Rockland, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtyztBFFUpu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e9w9jgvc7lb

All the yarn I make passed through my hands many times. I wash it, dye it, rinse it, hang it to dry, skein it, Twist it, tag it, hang it, and then finally pack it to be shipped. And every single step of the way, I am excited to make something with you... because that’s what it feel like to me, that we are collaborating together. Collaborating to make sometime beautiful and collaborating on the experience of making something. ❤️ . . . . #ontheround #yarn #makingyarn #domesticwool #madeintheusa #authenticsharing (at Lincoln Street Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btv6odmFBQf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17aybfcgmj5s5

I absolutely love this picture my friend @photomusiclife snapped of me a few weeks ago at my studio! It’s just so very... me! 🤣 this photo makes me want to tell you a couple of things about me that you may not know if you only know me via the internet. In no particular order, I have a very loud voice, I swear like a sailor, I love to walk around naked, I work really hard getting kids ready, I love red wine, I usually have a rock in my pocket and I am really afraid of dogs when they bark at me. This is all to say, remember we’re all complex creatures and there is always more to the story than you might see. Happy Saturday night friends! 😘 . . #ontheround #authenticsharing #realife #behindthescenes #studio https://www.instagram.com/p/BxD8txmJRkI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nx906g8b8luf

Lamb’s Pride was the first yarn that I ever fell in love with. When I started knitting seriously in college this was the yarn I loved. I loved that it was made in the USA, I loved how lofty and wooly it was, and I loved that it was single ply. I recently bought myself a sweater lot of Lamb’s Pride to knit myself something special and reconnect with my first love. Stay tuned for more, I hope to swatch this afternoon. I’d love to know What your first yarn love was.

First dye pots going in the pan! I’ve been hesitant to get back to my dye work, even though it brings me the most Joy. I’m totally the type of person that holds the thing I want the most away from myself... not today though, today I’m going for it. #ontheround #indiedyer #dyestudio #fiberart #yarn #authenticsharing #makingyarn (at Lincoln Street Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtlY_JSlwwP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13gp66hkj3bp9

I made some good progress on my Lillet sweater this weekend! 🌟 While working on this project I’ve been thinking a lot about my creativity and the ways that I’ve stifled myself over the last couple of years. In the name of business decisions I’ve created boxes around myself. 🌟 One example would be not making changes to patterns (something I’ve always loved to do) so not to offend the designer or have to explain my changes in such detail to my audience. But I can’t do it anymore. I have to give myself permission to follow my own creativity, wherever it wants to take me. 🌟 I read a post by @lavanyapatricella on Instagram this weekend about reconnecting with creativity and it sent me into complete tears. 🌟 When seemingly simple things rip your heart open, that is your clue that you have work to do. 🌟 #ontheround #knitting #creativity #yourheartswork #authenticsharing #babycocktails #lilletsweater #yarnlove (at Rockland, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bul1DYKFncn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ztay5p50092e
