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.

I am, and always have been, a solo entrepreneur. Toward the end, viewers were encouraged to stop by to meet Bruce, the shop cat. There was no mention of a cat in the script, and although I am a certified cat enthusiast, there is no Bruce. That said, Bruce merch is in the works. cont...

I can't explain why I thought letting AI generate the voice over track was a good idea. Almost immediately, it started to veer wildly off script. A couple of key moments: "Yarn Folk was started by two best friends in 2013!" While my spouse has been wildly supportive from the beginning, cont...

My solution is in the past, but I am team sleeves first whenever possible! I knit just a few rounds of the body after separation, then put that on hold and do the sleeves.

Two one gallon cans of Sherwin Williams paint are stacked on top of a five gallon bucket of the same. The bucket is grey with a red label, the smaller cans are red. They are sitting in a corner on a simulated wood vinyl floor, with another bucket to the right. The wall in the background is a yellow-y cream color.

🧶 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”

So, a bit of OMG 🧶 yarnfolk.com/blogs/news/c...

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"
