I hear that KPop Demonhunters are the most popular costume choice this Halloween. Pretty exciting! You can get your skeins of my new colorway, HUNTR/X and make something special for the Demon Hunter in your life. Or you, if you’re the Demon Hunter. 😍 🧶🧶🧶

My new colorway is available to order now! Inspired by Kpop Demon Hunters, HUNTR/X is splashes of black, hot pink, bright green, purple & turquoise on a bright purple background.

Can't wait to see what the squirrel's finished Jack O'Lantern looks like.

I’m sorry for your loss. Tuxedo cats are my favorite, always dressed to impress. 😻

Thank you. He really was so beautiful.

Thank you. ❤️Mushu was sixteen when he passed, and he loved us all so much. His favorite spot to sleep was under the Christmas tree. As soon as we plugged in the lights, he would be so happy. He never tried to climb the tree and only batted off an ornament once. Such a good boy.

I really appreciate the constant cat content here on Bluesky. My beloved Mushu passed away a year and a half ago and I miss him so very much. Seeing your kitties reminds me of all of the things I loved about him. ❤️😭

Now I want to get more vanilla beans and start another one with Bulliet! It must have smelled amazing.

Kim Dyes Yarn @knitterkim.bsky.social · 6d

Thank you!!! I am hoping to have some time to get more done on it today.

You’re the second to suggest crab stitch! I’m looking it up to see what it looks like. Thank you!

Thank you! I’m off to look at crab stitch. I’m not good at remembering what different crochet stitches look like.

Kim Dyes Yarn @knitterkim.bsky.social · 6d

Thank you! It’s going to be a Christmas gift for one of the kids. They have their first grown up apartment and need an afghan to cozy things up.

Kim Dyes Yarn @knitterkim.bsky.social · 6d

Ooh, had not thought about a knitted border! A garter short row edging would be nice.

I’m almost finished with this crochet afghan. I’d like to add a nice border to it but haven’t been able to come up with anything interesting. The border would be the same colors as the body and I would like something that I can do about 3-5 times around the afghan. Do you have a fave border? 🧶🧶🧶

Sorry, I was in the middle of cooking dinner when I replied earlier. I hope your trip to Korea was so good!! Thank you, I love how this movie has gripped so many people! 😍

Kim Dyes Yarn @knitterkim.bsky.social · 7d

Thanks so much! Once I’m done with this hat, I’m going to make another with the colorways reversed. 😍
