Halfway through Socktober and the gift knit pair is done (toes grafted, ends woven in, finished!) So now I get to start a new pair for the second half of the month...the @yarnfolk.com colorway matches the Autumnal reflection in the lake! 😍
A finished pair of red, orange and yellow striped hand knit socks are shown on top of a Socktober tracker. They are on a deck railing overlooking a lake with Autumnal reflections of the orange and yellow trees.

🧶 All chairs are stackable if you really try… In anticipation of having more social space in the Stitcher's Loft after we move to 211 W Third Ave at the end of the month, I bid on 6 chairs from CWU Campus Surplus (hence the gum). They are going to temporary storage at the new building tomorrow!
There are two stacks of wooden chairs with arms and purple seats, each three chairs tall.The underside of a chair has two pieces of chewed gum stuck to it, one red, one yellow.

Sunday morning Mother’s Day vibes @ Kittitas Cafe
Six inches of knitting on a cabled project in a natural sheep’s grey yarn on a blue-green wood table with chipped paint. A white man with a ball cap, long white hair, a lavender t-shirt, and a medium blue jacket is sitting on the opposite side of a blue-green painted wood table. There are two plates with avocado toast, grilled mushrooms, and hashbrowns, plus two coffee cups. One is orange and you can see the latte art in the other. A blue sky with wispy clouds and a wood fence are visible in the background. Stylized photo of Yarn Folk’s new location. Text reads “Countdown to moving day / 211 W Third Ave / 49 days”

Stylized photo of a two-story brick building with "Yarn Folk" mocked-up on the windows, and two planters with red and pink flowers and lime green foilage flanking it. A tree and a bike rack are at the left of the frame, and portions of murals for Banes Confectionary and Coca Cola are visible on the side of the building. The text reads "JULY 2025 new location 211 W Third Ave"

🧶TODAY is last call for Yarn Folk hoodie preorders! Link in this week's blog post: yarnfolk.com/blogs/news/h...
A pair of sample hoodies are displayed on dress forms. The one on the left is charcoal grey with a gold image, and the one on the right is a soft green with a crimson image. The graphic is the outline of Washington State with the Yarn Folk logo in the center, along with a line drawing of a ball of yarn and the text "ellensburg". The blurred background is the interior of the store, and the floor is unfinished wood.

A true innovation
An advertisement for "WIP B GON" on a orange background. An illustration of a gloved hand spraying liquid from a spray bottle is on the right, and the bulleted text on the left reads: "Just a spritz transforms an unfinished project into a completed masterpiece /
Compatible with every fiber, every craft /
Available in Lavender, Eucalyptus, and Unscented." A highlighted yellow box reads "Permission to start your next project?" with the word "Granted" in outlined text below.

View from a porch overlooking a snowy street, snowy trees, and a small snow covered garage. Cloudy skies obscure what is also surely a snowy evergreen covered ridge in the background. There is a red hummingbird feeder visible in the upper left corner of the photograph.
