Your True Self isn't always right there for the knowing. I've spent a creative life figuring out what mine is. Not always the easiest thing, but I've settled into a balance of True and everything else that creates a life. My blog has a link to this cool new yarn dyer that I have had the pleasure of spending time with the past year. #pandemicknitting #pandemicyarn #knitweardesigners #indiedyers #indiedyersofinstagram #indiedyedyarn #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #alwaysknitting https://www.instagram.com/p/CPmuEhlp40e/?utm_medium=tumblr

My two favorite nieces @ava.bree1 & @tarasujdak_ just got their birthday presents... these beautiful #WaterBornHeadWraps by @jacquelinecieslak in @hedgehogfibres (deep purple, DK) & @dyeiscastyarns (fingering, held double) purchased from @loopyarn! Now we can all wear our head wraps together for Christmas this year! A special thanks to Meredith from @loopyarn for always helping me pick out the best colors for my projects. Can’t wait for you all to see their Christmas presents that are coming up! #GiftKnitting #QuarantineKnitting #PandemicKnitting #KnittersOfInstagram #KnittersOfIG #KnittingByNature #KnittersGonnaKnit #KnitLife #ForTheLoveOfYarn #Yarn #YarnAddict #KnittingAddict #HandMade #Philly #PhillyKnitting #PhiladelphiaKnitting (at Skippack, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHv2oRFpAAk/?igshid=gkq6c00gd2t6

Had a half mile walk and have done my PT. Had a good sleep and the swelling is much improved. Been upright since I got up today! Now to take it easy.

I lost track and forgot to do regular project bag posts!  Here's a final one while I think about stitch patterns. The bag was in a goody bag at a fundraiser. I have used the bag, the lotion, and become an Aesop customer as a result.  It contains the Sakai steeked cardigan project in Wash My Lace.  I have nearly arrived at the underarm divide, and have used about 40g of yarn.  The sleeves will take more yardage, but this is going to be a super lightweight cardigan.  ⠀ ⠀#identitykal The artwork is from Laureen Marchand. I bought these cards saying I think I know some people who need angels right now--not knowing that we all would.  So carry this image with you if you have to go out into the world, and observe social distancing! I'll put links up. @laureenartist #artinspired #pandemicknitting #projectbags #knittingprojectbag #knittingprojectbags #knittingaddict #knittingismytherapy #knittinglover #knittinglace #knittedcardigan https://www.instagram.com/p/B-iY-lSp2Fi/?igshid=psgd7824tmoo

A beautiful photo shoot results from planning. More importantly, you need to have the right things put together to make it look effortless. The same applies to finishing any project. Lists, tools or inputs, dedicated time, and a clear plan pull it together. Join the Finishing Challenge now; finishing focus for 30 days.

I Wasn't Expecting That! What do you do when you are given lemons? We're all facing some kind of lemon overage right now, so make your interrupted plans and expectations a positive. I'm an eternal optimist, but also a realist. Life keeps getting real-er. #pandemicknitting #pandemicknitter #welcometotheshitshow #alwaysknitting #alwaysplanning #knittersgonnaknit #knitter #indiedesigner #knitweardesigner #fashionknitter #jwkfinishingchallenge #festikal2020 #identitykal #festikal https://www.instagram.com/p/B-OVc3lJ1vT/?igshid=11rn7d579d10d

Ruby. With a touch of Smoke. Taking the stitch patterns from Somerset Stole and working them into a garment. Using Civility Sport (the stole is in Fingering). The new design is called Tolland. Somerset is the area of England my father's family is from and Tolland the municipality. #identitykal #identitykalwip #knittingpatterns #pandemicknitting #knittersgonnaknit #knittingdesigners #knittingaddict #knittinginspiration #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #knittedaccessories #knitweardesign #fashionknit #passionknit #indiedesignerpattern https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AkDAppZ0c/?igshid=8ikv27wkb4zf
