Über satisfying fibre prep 🌊👏

Yesterday afternoon, I looked out into the backyard and thought the conditions looked about right, so I changed my shirt, put on a jacket, and gave my husband my cellphone.

"I need you to take some photos for me."

"Don't you want the sun to be out?"

"Nope. Let's go."

And thus, the photo session for Sleeping Satellite happened, of which this is one of the photos. I still don't like getting my picture taken. Also, always think that I am smiling more than I actually am.

I'm good at yarn. I've been mulling for a long time over how to use that skill for good in the present era of cruelty. I decided, based on the red hats that are popping up for MN, that I would donate the proceeds from my red skeins.

A friend asked if I had any blue ones I would donate, and the wheels started turning.

These pictures show my entire inventory; the last picture shows my mini skeins. Let me know what weight/color/fiber you want, or how much you'd like to donate - even as little as $5. The only thing you pay that won't be donated are shipping costs. I'll pass along donations for rent relief (even if you can't work, the rent is still due), or you can show me proof of a donation to another cause in the area (food banks, etc.). If you don't want the yarn but want to give for the cause, I can pass that along too.

Treat yourself while helping others. Fiber fights fascism.

I hope you had a very Meri-no Sheepmas and a happy n-ewe year!
