Welcome to the channel! We’re back out on the deck, the blue jays have a LOT to say, and I’ve got two finished shawls to talk about. Yay!

Show notes are below and have time stamps and links to (most of) my project pages on my project blog, My Favorite Day (MFD). If you have questions about anything in the video, feel free to leave a comment or email me, and I’ll be happy to try and answer!

3:00 – Shop Announcements:

I was back in the studio dyeing this past week (first time since before surgery!), and there are a whole bunch of new classic (two stripe) Inversibles Sets up right now.

I also added some Dyer’s Secret Stash — three four-skein sets of my retired Ridgetop DK non-superwash. All three sets are 40% off.

Also, just a reminder that Fibernymph Dye Works is a Snack Shack Sponsor for Boston Jen’s Down Cellar Studio Splash Pad Party again this summer! The event runs from 5/22 – 7/31. You’ll find all of the event details in the DCS Rav group (https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/down-cellar-studio-podcast/4403170/) or here in this Google doc (https://tinyurl.com/2ph45cyn)

45:56 – Life Stuff

What’s been going on here…transmission failures…high winds…big a** tree branches falling…all the things!

I close with an impromptu PSA about how I would like to help destigmatize going to therapy when you need to by sharing my recent decision to do just that. Taking care of our mental health is important, and no reason is “too small” or “too unimportant” to seek out a qualified, impartial human who can help you if you need it.

If you’re struggling in any way, please know there is help out there. I have a list of resources on my FDW blog from when I did a fundraiser during Suicide Prevention Month in 2024. Along with your own local or personal health care resources, these might be helpful starting points:

Be well, friends! xoxo
