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 […]

Summer Vacation: Gauge Experiment

I’ve officially kicked off my Summer Vacation! My first stop is New York City and I chose the Gauge Experiment prompt. I have this lovely new hand-dyed cotton from Th’red Head Designs: Cortina. It screamed at me to be a summer top, and I’ve narrowed it down to two patterns: This is the Captiva Top, […]

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 […]

Adventures at the Ren Fest 2019: First Weekend

The time has come for the return of Adventures at the Ren Fest! By now, surely you know I work out at Th’red Head Design‘s booth, Wolf ‘n’ Sheeps’ Clothing, at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. My duties mostly involve selling fibery goodness and performing spinning demos for the masses. I do get to meet […]

Throwback (Centuries) Thursday

Labor Day Weekend is almost upon us, which means it’s almost time for the Kansas City Renaissance Festival! This will be my fifth season out at Wolf ‘n’ Sheep’s clothing. I remember by first like it was yesterday… And I remember all of the other seasons too! All of the fibery fun, the hot, the […]

Come Fly With Me

Let’s fly, let’s fly away… I do love Sinatra, and I’ve been running out of flying puns! And speaking of love, I had it at first sight when I saw Wingspan by Kyle Vey. It’s such a fun design, and there’s so many ways to wear it. You can play up the wings or tone […]

LYS Day Recap

Did everyone make it to their local yarn shop to celebrate LYS Day? You know I did! I was helping out Marci of Th’red Head Designs at her trunk show at The Studio! She had a fun, exclusive colorway for the event called “I ❤ My LYS,” and it was made from Lapis, Yellow, and […]

Adventures at the Ren Fest: 6th Weekend

The end of the Kansas City Renaissance Festival is nigh, and traditionally the last couple of weekends are really good at Wolf ‘n’ Sheep’s Clothing. It’s chillier, people forget warm things, and we get to bust out our own hand-knits. It was a little harder this weekend with all the rain, but I managed: And […]

Adventures at the Ren Fest: 4th Weekend

Well, the weather was perfect, and we finally had some good crowds out at the Renaissance Festival. However, with larger crowds comes crazier guests, it seems. I can’t even phrase them all into “I” sentences. Here’s all the crazy that I got to experience last weekend: A guy walked into the booth, stood about a […]

Adventures at the Ren Fest: 1st and 2nd Weekends

The unofficial start of fall also rings in the start of the Renaissance Festival in Kansas City, and I’m in my fourth season working at Wolf ‘n’ Sheeps Clothing. I fully intended to do one of these posts last week but the holiday weekend threw me off my rhythm. So this one is a twofer. […]
