Fibershed Wardrobe Refresh at May Pop

I’ve always been fascinated with and loved the idea of Fibershed. Similar to a watershed or a foodshed, a fibershed is a geographical area where we can gather and produce fiber supplies with the smallest environmental impact. The anti-fast fashion non-profit has leadership based out of California, but we have a local affiliate group here: […]

Fiber Arts Definitions

My friend, Maggie, isn’t a fiber artist, but she is super supportive of me as one! She pointed out that we have some funny terms in fiber arts lingo, and she wanted to see, based on following my blog, how close she could get to defining these terms. Let’s see how she did! Ply As […]

CSM Hexipuffs

I found myself in a really unfortunate position last time I went out to staff the Th’red Head Designs booth at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. I grabbed a project bag as I ran out the door (late, per usual), but when I arrived, the project was not in the bag. I knew it was […]

All About Silk Spinning Retreat

I got to attend a spinning retreat hosted by my friends Christine (Treasure Goddess) and Teri (Fiberterian) in the before times, and I was really missing it over the years. So when they decided to offer another, I signed up as quick as I could! This one was all about silk, which was a little […]

First Spindle Bingo

I am participating in the Spindle Bingo 2025, hosted by Batty Fibers, Pacific Coaster Fibres, and a fellow Yarn Social spinner Jess, on Instagram. Happy to share that in the first month of the challenge, I got my first bingo! Pass it On I got to share the Park and Draft technique with a new […]

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), […]

Hello, 2025

I am finally back! 2024 was not my best year… I moved again. I pushed myself into really bad burnout again, but I also got to see my growth in real time. I could brush off many things that would have ruined full days even a year ago. Having some rest under my belt, a […]

Toy and Miniature Museum

To celebrate Father’s Day coming up, I wanted to share a recent trip I took with my dad to The National Museum of Toy and Miniatures! This amazing museum is steps away from my office, and we had an opportunity for Staff Appreciation Week to bring our family for a free visit. Perks of working […]

Crochet Patterns on Instagram

A decade ago, the social platform for fun crochet patterns was Pinterest. Today, I spend more time on Instagram, and a lot of crochet designers do the same! I’ll come across these carousels (or groups of photos, for those who get to live free of the social media algorithms) for adorable amigurumi projects. Bonus, they’re […]

Knitcessities

A lot of things coming back to my Disney College Program lately! When I lived in Orlando in 2016, there were no local yarn shops. There was a needlepoint shop that had an indie dyer come in on the third Saturday of the month, but as I was working in housekeeping at the time, it […]
