Knit ATX

Austin, Texas is a happy place for me. I have family there. Some of my favorite food places are there. You don’t know true luxury until you wake up and walk to phenomenal breakfast tacos. And even though the weather there is usually much milder than back home, Austin has no shortage of stellar local […]

YarnCon

YarnCon has been on my list for a bit, since my younger sister lives in Chicago. Easy place to stay, no classes to save for, and a bunch of cool national vendors; really what’s taken me so long? The general vibes of YarnCon are immaculate. Even with two floors of vendors, it was crowded at […]

12 Days of Th’Red Head

Last year, my Wolf ‘n’ Sheep’s Clothing compatriot, Chrissy, gave me a truly remarkable gift for Christmas: a 12 Days of Th’Red Head calendar. Each of the 12 days had their own ~15g ball of yarn, either on the Super!Wash base or the OK Boomer base (first time working with that, and I LOVE it), […]

Patterns for Mini Skeins

This will not come as a surprise to anyone who knows me even a little bit, but when Sewrella Yarn came out with a line inspired by the Disney Parks, I about lost my mind. I’m actually pretty proud I didn’t buy the whole shop. I made some concerted choices with specific patterns in mind, […]

Sip and Knit with Treasure Goddess

I had such an excellent fiber adventure last weekend. My friend Christine of Treasure Goddess Yarn decided to host a knit afternoon at her local winery in Stillwell, Kansas. I love yarn, and I love wine. This was an opportunity I could not pass up! My ticket to the event included four pirate sheep wine […]

Come Out to Socialize

It’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, […]

A Problem Solved with More Yarn

It couldn’t be done, they said! You may recall in my little gauge experiment, I was torn between two designs: the Captiva Crop (Ravelry link) and the Knot Front Crop (Ravelry link). I asked for people to weigh in, and here’s the answer I got: Do you ever have one of those moments when you […]

Mini ADVENTure Cowl KAL

In the interest of being responsible, I wasn’t going to get a yarn advent calendar this year. They’re super fun, but I have two now that are just sitting in my stash, waiting to be turned into something useful. It was a bad idea to get more minis to just sit around idly. Then I […]

Indie Untangled Everywhere

First things first, I do want to let you know I have started a Ko-fi, after some encouragement from a couple of friends. No obligation, of course, but if you enjoy my work and would like to buy me a cup of coffee (or tea, most likely) as support, you can do so here: https://ko-fi.com/fahroutfiber […]

A Pilgrimage to Hedgehog

I’m Emma’s mom, Cyndi, and I’ve just returned from the most amazing trip. Emma agreed to let me do a guest post for her blog. I’m so excited, and maybe still a big jet lagged, so please be understanding. Being of Irish decent, I’ve always dreamed of visiting Ireland, and finally, after decades of waiting, […]
