Back at the West Lafayette Farmer's Market today! This week's set up has the Yak/Merino/Silk blend skeins, new Peruvian Highland sport weight skeins, and the onion skin dyed skeins along with the normal stock. #Indiana #yarn #handmade #handdyed #knitsky #crochetsky
A white tent canopy over two tables with varying shades of blue tablecloths. On the tables are black wire baskets and other baskets filled with skeins of yarn. The Kind Hands Design Co. banner hangs on the back of the tent and has the ASL sign for, "I love you," along with the words, "Reclaimed Natural Fibers," "Hand Dyed Natural Fibers," and "Handmade Wearables & Home Goods."

📣 Calling all knitters, crocheters, yarn connissuers, & the people who enable them 📣 I am thinking of doing a Spooky Season minis pack w/ ten 20g skeins in purples, greens, oranges, & black. I also have some glitter minis, so there could be sparkles! $35. Yay or nay? #yarnsky #knitsky #crochetsky

Tried a natural dye bath again today. Scoured the yarn, it really didn't remove anything. Mordanted it low & slow. Laid the yarn over the onion skin dye before letting it slowly simmer. It absolutely looks onion colored. I hope it doesn't wash out because I really want to name it Stanley Yelnats 🤞🏻

First time making natural dyes. Started with red cabbage and yellow onion skins. The cabbage is turning out to be a purple blue and the onion skins are a bright yellow. Next up is red onion skins to make green, turmeric for orange, and beets for pinkish red. #naturaldyes #yarnsky #madewithlove
Two stainless steel pots, one larger than the other, on a stovetop. The bigger pot has a blue liquid in it and steam rising from the top. The smaller pot in front has yellow onion skins floating in it with a peak of the yellow liquid beneath.An orange spatula is pushing the yellow onion skins to the back of the pot to get a better view of the yellow natural dye being created.An up close of the blue dye liquid on the orange spatula with the pots and stovetop in the background.

Y'all. I just placed the order for mordants, fixatives, & an electric bain Marie with steam pans. Natural dye baths & more capability to dye multiple yarn weights/fibers at a time are in the very near future 🥳 kindhandsdesign.mayhem.my #selfpromosaturday #fiberarts #yarn #knitsky #crochetsky

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

I just got a used 2023 Kia EV6 GT line after having a tank of a minivan. The acceleration with the EV is insane especially if you put it in sport mode. I've never been a car person but this EV has a chokehold on me, especially as I zip past all the trucks lol

Making progress and fucking the pattern up by missing a purled section. I'd frog it but that goes against my firm belief that some mistakes don't need fixing and we just need to deal with the imperfection. Plus, I really hate frogging this yarn 🥲 #knitting #knitsky #fiberarts

It feels more bleak now than graduating and trying to make it in the heights of the late 00s recession felt. The only hope I have for our young people is that the economic climate in the US will encourage them to broaden their horizons and leave the country in pursuit of a better life if possible.
