90% Knitting – Episode 358 – Hats, Hats, Socks, Sweater, Hats

Welcome to Episode 357! Thanks for watching! Below, you’ll find show notes with embedded time stamps and links to project pages, patterns, and other things I’ve mentioned. I use non-Ravelry links when possible, but any link preceded by an asterisk means that it does go to Ravelry, so be aware of that if Rav is not an accessible place for you. All contact/website/social media info is listed at the end of the show notes!

48:32 – The State of the Studio

There will be a very small Valentine’s update on Monday, 2/8, at 5 p.m. eastern. Sorry for the short notice but I just got it together! :} (I forgot to mention that there will be some other odds & ends in the update as well, including some extra skeins from special orders I’ve dyed recently as well as clearance packs of the remaining in-stock Ridgetop yarns from last year.) Everything will be in the shop to preview sometime Monday afternoon before the update goes live.
Shop: https://www.fibernymphdyeworks.com/shop

There will also be a Throwback Thursday this week on Thurs., 2/11, at 5 p.m. eastern. This TBT will feature Cake Pops on a number of bases.

My heavy yarns update is scheduled for Sat., 2/20, at 10 a.m. eastern.

March will bring both a new Pi Day colorway as well as my 10th anniversary offerings!

52:58 – 10%/Favorite things this week…drawing! I’m just having so much fun with it. I realized as I was editing that you really couldn’t make out some of the pages I showed very well. I’ll try to do that better in the future!
