Wish this crazy old guy (Buster -- my 12 year old Siamese mix) luck today, he's having a couple of lumps removed from his side. Chest xray and bloodwork showed all clear, so hopefully it's nothing to worry about...

New purchase! One of my favorite clients, Aimee Sher, (who also happens to be one of my favorite designers), has a brand new in-house yarn and I couldn't decide which color I liked best, so I went ahead and got both. Why not, right? Can't wait to knit with it! 🧶

I know it's been a while, but I have a new video out today on my YouTube channel -- this is a bind off I came up with I'm calling Roped Cable Bind Off. It's a firm bind off that looks a bit like a cable cast on. Let me know what you think! youtu.be/ocM0rDTU_z8 #knittingtutorial #bindoff #knitting 🧶

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I'm getting a post ready to share a bit later on my new tutorial video out today, and I'm like - this seems so pointless, you know? How can I post these things I have to post (updates on my content and teaching, etc) while so much of the world is on fire?

Heather Storta @heatherstorta.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

I thought I would share: Kim of Oakwood Knits sent me a copy of her sock booklet that is now available! It was lots of fun tech editing these sock patterns. If you like a certain farm game, or love knitting colorwork socks, these are so much fun! #techeditor #strandedcolorwork 🧶#knitting

I was remiss in sharing, so let me share now! I received my contributor copy of Fair Isle Knitting Tradition several weeks ago. It was my pleasure to be the tech editor on this project! If you love Fair Isle knitting, then I highly recommend checking this book out!! #techeditor #fairisleknitting 🧶

I've only had a chance to sift through about half of our photos, but here are some of my favorites from the first half of our trip to Iceland! #vacation #iceland

We got to it about 5:30pm or so, and there was no one else there - the shop was closed, and it was so quiet. We had it to ourselves for a good 20 minutes -- and it was our last waterfall of the day, so that made it even more magical!

Heather Storta @heatherstorta.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

We had such an amazing week in Iceland! I promise to share some more photos soon, but here is one of us in front of Faxafoss (one of our favorite waterfalls of the trip!) #iceland #vacation

I think Ophelia thinks she can prevent me from going out of town if she blocks my access to my suitcase. Just so you know, this suitcase has been here for two whole days and she only now (when I'm about to pack it) decides to lay on it... #knittingteacher

Not sure I'm handling the craziness going on in the *everywhere outside* very well right now, but... ...my YouTube channel just hit 12K subscribers so I'm doing a little happy dance for that, and it seems like an unimportant thing amid everything, but it's bright spot, so I'll take it.
