I’ve been wanting to try some simple colorwork for a while, and when I saw the April Black Label yarn from @lolabeanyarnco.com, I knew it was time. This hat was so fun to knit, and this yarn is perfection! (Pattern info in alt text)

A pair of Frankensocks. The yarn is neither super appropriate for socks, not do the colours work particularly well together, but I'm on a mission to knit up random single skeins, and this gets three of them out of my stash while keeping my feet warm. Win!

Day 33 of the Stashdown Challenge: As part of my 2026 Fiber Intentions, I'm learning mosaic crochet. This is a Tea House Mug Rug (aka a coaster), but instead of weaving in the ends and adding fringe, I left the ends and knotted them as fringe instead.

Hoping to get the main body of this ‘Downtime’ pullover done today while trying to stay warm under the heated blanket.

Also, I realized yesterday that it’s been 8 months since I’ve bought a single skein of yarn. My stash pile has lost 39 skeins in that time though!

I may be getting myself into trouble, but given that I'm teaching All Things Socks lately, I've re-upped my #SKA (Sock Knitters Anonymous) 🧶 membership and might try to mash this #Ravelry community in with my stashdown ambitions. So fun to find SKA is now around 28K members.

This is my current yarn stash and it is getting overwhelming.
I want to feel excited about all the lovely yarns and work with the yarns I am still excited about. So this year, I am putting myself on a mild yarn buying ban.
