#MarchMeetTheMaker Day 10 Catchup: Recharge⁠ ⁠ One of the major things I do on days where I need to recharge is take a social media break, but since this is a social media challenge I guess that doesn't really work for this prompt lol. Managing my energy levels as a neurodivergent person is something I always need to be particularly cognizant of and I have a plethora of recharge strategies. ⁠ ⁠ One that I always come back to is knitting vanilla socks. These are my current pair. This is the colorway "Betwixt" on Llark Sock Twins and they're living in my Zelda-inspired Llexical Sock Pouch. The mindless repetition of stockinette in the round is a soothing stim and helps ground me and channel anxious energy.⁠ ⁠ #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #nevernotknitting #yarn #yarnlove #fiberarts #handmade #instaknit #handdyedyarn #knittinglove #knit #maker #knittersgonnaknit #makerlife #sockknittersofinstagram #handknitsocks #vanillasocks #neurodivergent #neurodivergentknitter #toeupsocks #socktwins #speckledyed #sockstagram #socks #handdyed⁠ ⁠ Image Description:⁠ Slide one shows a close up photo of Kel's work in progress sock project. Two toe up socks on separate circular needles lay flat on a black surface. The toes and a couple of inches of the foot have been knit. In the background you can just see the bottom of the Llexical sock pouch where the working yarn is. The yarn is mostly undyed with random rainbow and black or grey speckles.⁠ ⁠ Slide two shows the same project in full. The entire sock pouch can be seen. It is unzipped and the removable divider and two center pull sock twins which are the working yarn can be seen through the opening. The pouch is made from Zelda inspired fabric. The exterior is black with items from Link's inventory scattered across it. Barely visible are two enamel pins on the pouch. https://www.instagram.com/p/CptbuLjMA-4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Perfectly paired with one of our Llexical Sock Pouches!⁠ ⁠ Image Description: Three sets of speckle dyed center pull sock twins on a white background.

Day 3 of our Llively Sock Twin drop week is “Fuchsia”. Inspired by the fuchsia plant but with a punchy neon green for some oomph. This colorway had it’s debut at VKL NYC 2017 and quickly became a regular on my re-dye list due to demand. This is it’s first appearance on Llively and it did not disappoint. This yarn base is proudly made in the US and features a 90/10 SW Targhee wool/nylon blend with a firm twist making it perfect for durable items like socks. #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #yarndyersofinstagram #yarn #yarnlove #gradientyarn #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #knitting #handdyedyarn #sockyarn #sockknittersofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #handknit #handknitsocks #socktwins #targhee #wool Image Description: Three sets of gradient center pull ball sock twins on a white background. Two sets are wound with the fuchsia end of the gradient on the outside and the middle set is wound with the neon green end on the outside. The gradient flows from one color to undyed and into the other color. Text above the photo read "Fuchsia" in fuschia and neon green. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cky3ND-JLk5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 6 of Llively week is “My Favorite Things”. Despite the fact that our camera can never capture the true vibrancy and saturation of the turquoise in this colorway I will never stop dyeing it because it was my ultimate favorite color combination growing up and still never fails to make my heart a little happier. If you’ve seen this one in person you know photos just don’t do it justice. And the transition color where the royal purple and turquoise meet…well it’s another one of…my favorite things. 🎶🌧️🌹😺🫖🧤📦 This yarn base is proudly made in the US and features a 90/10 SW Targhee wool/nylon blend with a firm twist making it perfect for durable items like socks. #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #yarndyersofinstagram #yarn #yarnlove #gradientyarn #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #knitting #handdyedyarn #sockyarn #sockknittersofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #handknit #handknitsocks #socktwins #targhee #wool Image description: Three sets of gradient center pull ball sock twins on a white background.

Today’s Lively Sock Twin drop is here! 🎉 “Nightfall” is the latest addition to my Time of Day series that has been organically growing over the years and also includes “Dawn”, “Dusk” and “Midnight Hour”. The velvety color combination in “Nightfall” came from one of the snow dye/immersion dye experiments I did last March and I just had to develop it out into a core colorway. I always say my Elli AUs are like my sketches and this is a great example of that development process. This yarn base is proudly made in the US and features a 90/10 SW Targhee wool/nylon blend with a firm twist making it perfect for durable items like socks. #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #yarndyersofinstagram #yarn #yarnlove #gradientyarn #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #knitting #handdyedyarn #sockyarn #sockknittersofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #handknit #handknitsocks #socktwins #targhee Image Description: Three sets of gradient center pull ball sock twins on a white background.

For something a little fun and different I'm going to be dropping one colorway of my Llively Sock Twins (90/20 SW Targhee/Nylon) every day for the next 7 days. Day 1 is "Sugarhigh"! As part of featuring each of these I'm going to include extra background on the colorway inspiration or technique for those who are interested. Sugarhigh is a old school Llady Llama colorway. It was inspired by the Coyote Shivers song and specifically it's feature in the motion picture Empire Records. In my teenage years my friends and I were fairly obsessed with the film and this song is still featured on the playlist I blast while working in the dye studio. This colorway is an immersion gradient with overdyed speckle accents. Swipe to see a dye process shot. See you tomorrow for another colorway drop! #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #yarndyersofinstagram #yarn #yarnlove #gradientyarn #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #knitting #handdyedyarn #sockyarn #sockknittersofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #handknit #handknitsocks #socktwins #targhee Image Description: Slide one shows three sets of gradient center pull ball sock twins on a white background. Two sets are wound with the bright aqua end of the gradient on the outside and the middle set is wound with the bubblegum pink end in the outside. The purple speckled transition can just be seen a little. Letters above the photo read "Sugarhigh" in aqua and pink letters. Slide two shows the same yarn in the process of being dyed. The yarn is in dye blank form and layed out in a stainless steel dye pan. The full gradient from aqua to purple to pink can be seen as well as the accents of purple dye speckles across the middle of the skein. https://www.instagram.com/p/CktpkQcJcOP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎉Shop Update🎉 Newly listed Llark Speckle Sock Twins! The blend of SW BFL and nylon makes our Llark base a great choice for hardwearing handknit socks. 🧦 I call these types of fraternal sets my "speckle gradients" because the speckle colors transition in color and/or intensity across the length of the skein. The fun of watching a gradient progress off your needles with the added spontaneous joy of speckled pops of color!🌈 🦙These sets also work well with both strands held together to make super squishy, extra warm hats and other accessories. ❄ Reminder that everything in the shop is 20% off through Nov. 30th. No coupon code necessary. 💜 #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #yarndyersofinstagram #yarn #yarnlove #gradientyarn #knittersofinstagram #speckledyarn #speckles #knitting #handdyedyarn #knitstagram #knitting #sockyarn #sockknittersofinstagram #socktwins #handknitsocks #socktwins #crochetersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #etsysale #shophandmade #shopsmall #smallbusinesssaturday Image Description: Slide one is a photo collage on a black background showing two colorways of gradient speckle dyed sock twin yarn wound into center pull balls.
