Welp, I kind of forgot about this app for a minute 🙈

But I did want to share the results from our 1st PLY Quarterly Fiber Club.

This quarter was the Hue Issue, and I spun up our new Shaniko Confetti base. 400yds, 2 Ply fingering weight.

Next installment opens tomorrow.

I did a thing that I’m proud of. I have a featured article in the most recent issue of @plymagazine.bsky.social 🥲

I seek whether or not it’s possible to dye and spin roving to match a handdyed skein of yarn.

Check out the Hue issue, available now!

How do you keep your hands from cramping? Part of why I like magic loop is I have more needle to hold on to.

What’s your favorite method for small circumference knitting? I prefer magic loop, but need to give 9” circs another go.

Stone Knits @stoneknits.bsky.social · Feb 14

I get asked alot about colorwork sock yarn floats and how to manage them at the needle ends if you’re knitting with DPN’s or Magic Loop method, so I’ve made a quick video tutorial on it youtube.com/shorts/HD0j-...

This plane departed from Wichita. My heart aches for the friends/family aboard this flight.

NPR @npr.org · Jan 30

John Donnelly, the chief of Washington D.C.'s Fire and EMS, told reporters Thursday morning that "we are now at a point where we are switching from a rescue operation to a recovery operation."

Live updates: Authorities believe there are no survivors after a midair crash in Washington, D.C.

A regional jet carrying 64 people collided in midair with a Black Hawk helicopter as the plane was approaching a runway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday night.

Each quarter, I’ll create a listing with the new mood board so people can get a sense of the color scheme for that quarter.

Jenny Brown | 316 Dye Studio @316dyestudio.bsky.social · Jan 27

The mood board changes with each issue release, and so will the club color. This is the mood board for the first issue of 2025 (and therefore the first club color). Next quarter will be completely different. 😌

You’ll have to sign up each quarter. I thought this would just be the easiest all around.
