Two exciting things: 🧶We sold our condo almost immediately after putting it on the market! All of our hard work paid off! That’s why I’ve been MIA this last week 😄 🧶 Last night, I FINALLY had time to sit down and finish my Hira Hira Shawl! I’m going to block it tonight and then finish writing up the pattern. So excited to get this into tech editing and testing!

📚 Book Update 📚 I just started Where the Crawdads Sing by @authordeliaowens on @audible. It’s interesting so far! I’m curious to see where it goes as I’ve heard it’s amazing 🤔 What are you reading?

What are your favorite patterns involving mohair? I’ve found a couple but want to gather more ideas as I decide what to do with these lovely @honeygirlfarms skeins of Claire in America! 🤔

I haven’t been able to get much knitting done lately 😞 But hopefully that’s about to change soon! We’ve been hard at work for over a month prepping our condo to list for sale. We have put (maybe more than) half of our stuff in storage, donated a ton, and thrown out a bunch (KonMari’d the whole house pretty much). It has been so much work! But we are nearing the end here 😄I just finished one of our biggest changes last night - painting! The cream wall in the first picture used to be a vibrant aqua turquoise and the grey walls in the second picture were once grass green. Now we just have to rearrange some things and spruce up a bit 💪🏻 We’ll be listing next week and I am SO excited to have knitting time again! Have you been working on any house projects lately?

I went to @yarncon last weekend and it was awesome! I wore my Raindrops on Roses shawl to celebrate the lovely spring weather. 💐 There were so many booths filled with GORGEOUS yarn 🧶😍 Swipe to see my haul! In addition to the stunning @criticalsheep yarn I bragged about yesterday, I got: 🧶A Game of Thrones-inspired skein of Lady Sansa in Silky Sock from @honeygirlfarms (totally going to cast on something during the premiere!) 🧶An Outlander-inspired skein of Claire in America in Silky Mohair and a matching skein in Silky Sock, also from @honeygirlfarms (I don’t know what these will be yet but I really wanted some mohair!) 🧶Three skeins of Heart of a Warrior on @fairytaleknits The Queen’s Worsted 😍 (These are for a very special little someone who will be making her entrance into the world in just a couple months! @a_bean_rua, can’t wait to start knitting her little cape!) 🧶Now I just need time to knit! 🧶

I am so excited about the amazing, fantastic, gorgeous yarn support that @criticalsheep (Follow her! Her yarn is stunning!) provided to @mandybeeknits (Follow her! She makes absolutely brilliant designs!) and I this weekend 😍 Mandy and I are now embarking on a knitwear design collection inspired by @critical_role. 🎲 🐉 🎲 Are you a Critter? If you haven’t had a chance yet to delve into the utterly fantastic world of #criticalrole (and #dungeonsanddragons as a whole), it is SO worth checking out. Man, do I love this show and this game!❤️ These yarns are for 4 different designs, each inspired by a Critical Role PC from Campaign 2. Any guesses on which colors go with which character?
