Mom’s sweater is for all intents and purposes done. Sure I still have the button bands to knit, but that won’t happen until she picks out the buttons she wants (which given the number of things she/we have going on right now may be a while; I’m not going to press).

It’s beginning to look like a mitten!

I promise I’ll go back to posting only projects and plants (with the occasional puppy pic) soon, but this event is too much fun and is moving SO fast this year. I’ve been so lucky to grant so many wishes, so I thought I’d repost my own once more. This year I wish for: I wish for: ❄️Yarn/fiber for dyeing ❄️Natural dyestuff ❄️Books on natural dyeing or history of textiles/fibers ❄️Sheep Breeds to add to my breed study (swipe to see what I have) ❄️Fiber to add to my plant study (I have flax and cotton) ❄️Patterns from my wishlist (I’m Stngraygrl on Ravelry) ❄️Ply magazine issues ❄️Plant, Nature, or Celestial enamel pins for my project bag. Also for all of you shipping out wishes, did you know that you can buy shipping labels through PayPal? No waiting in line at the post office to get your packages shipped! If you don’t know how, feel free to message me and I’ll do my best to walk you through it! 😊 #getyouryarnwishesgranted #getyouryarnwishesgranted2018

While looking though my stash to grant yarn wishes I came across a skein of @bumblebirch Forage I had completely forgotten about. I think I’m going to turn it into some mittens...

🇺🇸As I’m boxing up the wishes I was able to grant yesterday and this morning, I thought I’d repost mine (since the hashtag moves so fast I’m sure yesterday’s post got buried). Thank you to everyone who has granted my wishes so far! I wish for: ❄️Yarn/fiber for dyeing ❄️Natural dyestuff ❄️Books on natural dyeing or history of textiles/fibers ❄️Sheep Breeds to add to my breed study (swipe to see what I have) ❄️Fiber to add to my plant study (I have flax and cotton) ❄️Patterns from my wishlist (I’m Stngraygrl on Ravelry) ❄️Ply magazine issues ❄️Plant, Nature, or Celestial enamel pins for my project bag. Thank you for looking! 😊 #getyouryarnwishesgranted #getyouryarnwishesgranted2018

A close up of the newest addition to my Jenkins family, an ebony finch. I love the way the black contrasts with the white/cream traveling fiber.

🇺🇸It’s that time of year again! Now that I’ve granted a few wishes, I’m going to post my own. This year I wish for: ~yarn/fiber for dyeing ~natural dyestuff ~books on natural dyeing or history of textiles/fibers ~breeds to add to my breed study (swipe to see what I have) ~fiber to add to my plant study (I have cotton and flax so far) ~patterns on my wishlist (I’m Stngraygrl on Ravelry) ~ply magazine issues ~plant or nature themed enamel pins for my project bag. Thank you for your consideration! I’ll be away from my phone this afternoon, but promise I’ll respond when I get back. #getyouryarnwishesgranted #getyouryarnwishesgranted2018

As much as I love playing with color, when it comes to my personal wardrobe I tend towards neutrals and like to experiment with texture and contrast, so how could I resist @makingzine ‘s Black and White issue? Now I just need to decide what to make first...

COLOR IS SEASONAL! At least for the ornamental crabapple. All three samples were dyed with the leaves using the same method and pot (though there were different ratios of leaf:wool) with the major difference being the time of year: Red = August, Orange = September, Yellow = November. How cool is that?
