Weirdly I'm almost always here for more zucchini because I grate it and freeze it and put it in meatloaf and then my kid eats her body weight in meatloaf that's full of zucchini, but I have an unusual amount of freezer space

Holy cats, I didn't realize how close @mindseyeyarns.bsky.social was to being one of your first customers, or how close we were in terms of shopiversary. I bought the shop 7 years and 28 days ago.

Remember how we collect altoid tins? This is why. Annie’s partner makes these beautiful polymer clay tins, and they’re part of our craft fair today. She also has these incredible koi paintings. So lovely! 🧶 #knitsky #arlingtonma

Lots of good things is still so many things. And laundry is good but also neverending.

Seriously. My sleep has been fine on average, but that's not the same as good consistently

Had an English teacher once who said the real tragedy of KING LEAR was how it was almost five hundred years later and we still didn’t have a good solution for aging parents.

Should’ve realized she was going through some shit.

🐑 Domesticated sheep can’t shed their own fleece, so shearing is essential for their health. Without it, they risk overheating, mobility issues, and flystrike. Ethical shearing keeps sheep comfortable and cared for. 🌿✂️ #WoolFacts #SustainableFiber #EthicalWool 🧶

Sheep, some assembly required

Sometimes you need something to distract you from all the yarn fumes. We just got in so much Noro, and I am not okay.

A 3d printed magnet puzzle of a sheep, pieces.

The bottom one is the Louisa Harding Enorme, the top one is Arucania Fiesta.

Look, it's a weird super power but it's a useful one.

I think it worked out to seven sweaters off needles but only three this year weren't stash yarn.
