This post is brought to you by the world's most uncooperative puppy

This is my 100th Blog Post. Just thought I'd share. I should have a give away or something?



About a month ago, I was MOHS, on Ravelry's Queen for a Day (or three) it is a fun game where you get to be queen and people make offers to you to try and get you to pass on the queenship to them. In the end I passed on my throne to Becca who offered me 40z of custom dyed fiber... How does one turn down custom dyed fiber? They don't!

If you read this blog with any regularity, you will know that I love my dog. So what better way to love your dog then get fiber dyed to look like her?



This is Becca's Fiber dyed in a custom Esme colorway. Isn't it awesome? She sells her stuff on Etsy as well be sure to check it out.

And now my photo shoot with Esme. She doesn't look to happy in it, but that is because it is hot out and I was making her do way to much work for one measly treat


If I had a dog that pooped sheep fiber I'd be set for life.

at least she looks happy! Usually during these photo shoots she plays drama puppy, why are you doing this to me!

Also, I've reached the end of this blog post and decided I wanted to do a giveaway in honor of my 100th post. Comment on this post (with how cute my puppy is... just kidding) and I will put all of you (hopefully there will be more than one) in a RNG and the winner will get a skein of Handspun yarn by yours truly.

Notes: It will not be my Esme fiber, that is mine. Giveaway will close next Friday May 27th. Please only comment once. Please leave some way (be it email or Rav name so I can contact you for address) Please allow me a week or so after the contest closes for me to spin up some fiber.

Sunday Stash: Rainbow edition

I'm trying to to add more to the stash (although, I'm not very good at that) so instead of showing you all what is new to the stash instead I thought I would use this space to share the stash that I have.

Sorry that the pictures aren't that good it is gloomy in mpls today ad was trying to compensate with un-natural lighting



If you know me at all then you know that I love rainbows. Call me childish but I have never met a rainbow that i didn't like. I just find them so so appealing and can rarely resist one. So on my very first Sunday Stash I share with you, my rainbow stash.

We have the commercial yarns:


The Hand painted yarns:


the Handspun rainbows: (if I ever have a band that is going to be the name of it handspun Rainbows)

And the Rainbow Fiber



Please note that this is pure STASH that means any WIPs or FOs were not included in these pictures. Also of note, I own no rainbow fabric except for a jelly roll WIP (this needs to be remedied).

This is just a very long way of saying that if you ever need to get me a present rainbow sock yarn is probably a pretty good bet.
