Next week I'll be dyeing up February's yarn club (https://www.haldecraft.com/products/yarn-club-1), so here's a look at what went out in January. I called it "Cranberry Orange Sauce." I don't want to give away what this month's colorway will be about, but let's just say that I've been thinking a lot about Minnesota so it might be a little more topical than a Thanksgiving side dish.
Here is how I prepare my #roving or #combedtop for #HandSpinning worsted #yarn. #FiberArts
Spring colours were the theme of the week but it seems the quiet beauty of the gradually emerging season isn’t sparking joy. However, I’m prepared to do what I need to in order to please you so here is Sacrilegious & Exclusionary on DK. Bold, bright, utterly unapologetic – a riot of neon rainbow with contrasting black that brings an instant pleasure hit to your needles or hook. Enjoy! #yarn #knitting #crochet #mothyandthesquid mothyandthesquid.com
Awakening Woodland. Fresh spring light filters through a quiet beech woodland in this gentle fresh colourway. Soft leaf-greens, mossy speckles and hints of bark and bud create a refined, wearable palette, perfect for shawls, socks and cardigans that feel calm, uplifting and quietly luxurious for everyday joy.

oh my... crocheting with this alpaca wool is a delight. It slides on the hook so well, is so soft yet "wool"-y... I might be in love with quality yarn, darn it. #yarn #crocheting
Ugh. Ubuntu issue with a GPG error
NO_PUBKEY 62D54FD4003F6525 during apt update. Normally this is a missing or expired GPG key for the Yarn package repository. The yarn install instructions said use this, and to re-run it if the error "appears": curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/yarn.gpg > /dev/null. Well here's the thing - the key should be named yarnpkg.gpg instead of yarn.gpg. Took forever to figure out, but now resolved. #admin #ubuntu #yarn
It is #WIPWednesday and the me from the future can tell you the rain did come back and I am very excited about it (the Tiny Dinos are less impressed).
Stopped by my local yarn store today to pick up some #yarn for a little project. There's no #red yarn to be had anywhere on the peninsula right now; it sells so quickly.
Whether you say "nisse" or "tomte," a Scandinavian house elf is a blessing to any household it chooses, because - much like the typical American worker - the house elf works hard to keep everything running smoothly.
My Swedish ancestors knew: bad things happen when you neglect or abuse the tomten. Your luck goes bad; you could end up losing the house, if not the whole farm.
IYKYK.

Spinning this batt up! Looks interesting!
I was gifted a drum carder. I made a video of the shenanigans.

Meadow at Dawn is a gentle wander through dew‑kissed grass and woodland flowers. Fresh green, heathered purple and soft speckles capture sunrise light on spring blooms, perfect for shawls, socks and sweaters that feel like a quiet, hopeful walk in the waking woods.

Spring Posy is a sunlit bouquet spun into yarn: buttery roses, tiny daisies and glimpses of green leaves. Joyful yellows mingle with fresh leafy speckles, perfect for cheerful shawls, socks and cardigans that feel like armfuls of flowers gathered from a cottage garden on the first bright days of spring.

My very first ball of 2ply. It is over twisted, under twisted, and pretty much all the other things, but I’m still very proud of it. It’s a Leicester cross breed fleece, spun in the grease then washed post ply.
