More (Little) Stash, More (Little) Storage

I had a rare, full weekend at home, and when that happens I try to organize stuff around my apartment. I have this great yarn storage fixture my dad built when I moved in, but I’ve been struggling with where to keep my little, partial skeins. I do hold on to any leftovers from projects. […]

One Year of Adventures!

FahrOut Fiber Adventures is celebrating its first anniversary today! I’ve had a lot of fun writing about all my fiber adventures, and I hope you’ve had fun reading about them. Of course, how better to celebrate an anniversary than with presents! I’m giving away three sets of locking stitch markers with my plying spider on […]

The Stitchin’ Den

The main attraction was, of course, the Estes Park Wool Market, but Estes is so cool, we had to check out some of the local shops and restaurants. At one point, the purchases were starting to get a little cumbersome, and I decided to walk them back to the van. On my way back, up […]

Estes Park Wool Market

Colorado has a special place in my heart. I have family sprinkled throughout the state, so we had many a family road trip where we crammed ourselves into my dad’s minivan. There are so many memories of hiking, fishing, panning for gold, rafting, and, of course, yarn shopping. As soon as I heard about a […]

Project Packing

I don’t know about you, but when I travel, I always have my projects picked out before I do any other packing. I may have left on a trip without underwear before, but I’ve never left without a project. My process usually goes like this: I get really excited about seven or eight projects, but […]

I Knit and I Know Things MKAL

*This post contains spoilers for the knit-along and Game of Thrones* I finished it! And only a week after the final episode aired! As disappointing as that was, this knit was the opposite: fun, half-mindless, and gorgeous to boot. I was a little worried that my mohair was too different from my lighter main color, […]

The Original Fidget Spinner

I read a fun story the other day from the ABC affiliate up in Portland, Maine. To help elementary-aged kids focus, they are encouraging them to crochet during class. Of course, I think this is fantastic. I’ve been crafting to focus in class since high school, and it’s the only thing that got me through […]

Super Knits

Some quick reminders, Local Yarn Shop Day is Saturday! Please go support your LYS, maybe buy some yarn for Kristin Ragsdale’s Fuzzy Socks knit-along that’s coming up next week! It’s finally here you guys, Avengers: Endgame is in theaters TONIGHT. I can feel it, this will be (another) one of those nights where my life […]

Fuzzy Socks Knit-Along!

You all know my friend Kristin, right? She guest-wrote on my blog a little while back. She also got her first pattern on Ravelry earlier this year! It’s a fun, toe-up sock pattern where you hold a traditional sock yarn and lofty mohair together to make FUZZY SOCKS! How genius is that! So, of course, […]

The Finale is Coming

When you watch the Game of Thrones, you knit or you die. At least, that’s how it is for my friends and me! We’re huge fans of the show, so when we heard the Drunk Knitter is hosting a mystery knit-along called I Knit and I Know Things to celebrate the final season, we were […]
