I didn’t win anything, but it’s about the yarn purchases I made along the way! If you are unfamiliar with the KC Yarn Crawl, it involved four local shops all bringing out their best exclusive colorways, fibers, and designs. Of course, I had to participate in some capacity, but I was unsure at first with […]
Read More KC Yarn CrawlThis weekend was particularly trying. Not only was it hot, but I had to move. I wasn’t even out there Saturday. Luckily, my mom was able to go in my place. What I found particularly funny about this was when I asked my mom if anything of note happened for the blog, she shrugged and […]
Read More The Final Adventures at the Ren Fest: Third WeekendIt’s been a rough couple of weeks, friends. We’re still in the middle of a Pandemie. The school year is starting, so work is picking up. I’m also working at the Ren Fest, which is a joy, but something else I have to make sure I’m able to do. On top of all of this, […]
Read More Come Out to SocializeThe second weekend at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival is typically the worst. It’s usually boiling hot, and it usually lines up with the opening weekend of football. Both of which were true this year, but for whatever reason, it wasn’t so bad! I don’t know if I’m seeing it through the rosy glasses of […]
Read More The Final Adventures at the Ren Fest: Second WeekendTime again to share one of my all-time favorite spinning tips. I had a beginner spinner come to the booth this weekend, and they were looking at fiber to go with a single they had spun.

Read More Plying BraceletWe’re back! Even as we still face down a pandemic, I have to say it was so nice to be out there again. Maybe that’s because, as many as you know, this will be Wolf ‘n’ Sheep’s Clothing last season at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. Many people have told me I could find another […]
Read More The Final Adventures at the Ren Fest: First WeekendObviously, it’s not the winter holidays (but that is a close second). Fall is the best season: harvesty foods, hot drinks, hoodies, spooky times, and, of course, the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. We are returning to an in-person event, even in the face of a literal plague. While I am worried, I’m also excited. I […]
Read More The Most Wonderful Time of the YearThe Yarn Social Summer Vacation is coming to an end, and I’m stuck on the side of the road hitchhiking somewhere… Did I bite off more than I could chew with the biggest road trip? I did. Am I sad or regretful of that? I am not. It wouldn’t have been any fun for me […]
Read More Off the RailsBecause as the saying goes: “Home is where the stash resides.” I am moving. It’s really great ’cause I will be closer to work, really close to some good friends, and walking distance from some of my favorite shops and restaurants (including a certain local yarn shop…) It’s really not great because moving stresses me […]
Read More Relocating the StashWelcome to another installment of “posts I wish I had when I was learning how to do stuff.” These are the current top posts on Instagram when I searched #turkishspindle this morning (click on it for the updated feed!). What the in-progress projects here all have in common is that gorgeous God’s Eye cop (for […]
