There’s a new scarf up in my store! The denim color is a wool blend and the border is acrylic yarn so just in case, this should be handwashed and laid flat to dry.
I also have this scarf:
Which I have posted on eBay! This one is just acrylic so it’s best washed gentle and laid out to dry.
This new neck warmer is up for sale in my shop! It’s thinner than the others in case you don’t want as much coverage. It’s a wool blend and should be hand washed and laid flat to dry.
This neck warmer is 12.5 inches tall and 23 inches around. It’s up in my shop now.
And, since I have no eloquent words as for the state of things these days, 50% of all my sales will go to help Black Lives Matter organizations. More stock is on the way.
I’ve made these neck warmers for friends as gifts and since they loved them so much, I’m adding them to my shop! They’re about 12.5 inches long with a 23 inch circumference and made with acrylic yarn. I only have black right now but more colors are coming!
I had to spend money on the Black Panther themed yarn from Jimmy Beans wool. I got a bunch of skeins so I decided to make a shawl for a friend of mine and here’s how far I’ve gotten.
My mental process for this was a roller coaster. Going from “Oh yeah, I can totally build this one stitch at a time” to “Fuck my life, I have to build this one stitch at a time.” But hey, I am loving these colors! And it’s fun and easy to knit this despite some of the stitches I’ve slipped that I feel just add character.

Not gonna lie, not much writing got done this week. After selling out my shop TWICE, I had to shift gears and put my effort where the sure money is coming in. And that’s my shop.
Can you blame me? I got a mortgage to pay and right now my needlework is selling much faster than my books. Perhaps that will change and I’ll have to switch focus again but for now, that’s how it is.
Now, this does not mean I’ve stopped writing. Muse does as muse do and I make sure to get my words in before I forget them. I haven’t given up on Emma’s story or any of my other projects.
As the shop fills back up again, more writing will happen. I have so much yarn to use up, filling it won’t take long. So, don’t despair! More stories will happen.
My newest creation is gone but I am hard at work on more items! Not sure if anything will be ready in time for the holidays but I shall try!
All this is doing wonders for my stash-busting, let me tell you… I’ve always had too much yarn so don’t worry; plenty more items will be coming. And not just scarves, either.
I’m not selling the box as a lot. I’ll be posting these as individual listings on That Sinking Ship over the next few days.
