#fiberuarychallenge day 7: Mood Booster.
On a Friday, there’s nothing better than a zen repetitive project to knit during meetings. Keeping my hands busy helps me focus!
Does anyone else do that?

I always wonder how people store their handknits! I love displaying min, but I’m so scared of bugs I usually keep them in plastic bags.
How do you store your handknits?
I guess you can post videos on here as well?! I made a short video showing the new way I’ve started storing my handknit sweaters! #knitting

#Fiberuarychallenge Day 6: Pop of Color.
I’ve been working on this #auroracabinshawl since Dec 2022. It’s the second #hiberknitalong from #westknits and my ultimate pop of color!
Never my main project, I reach for it on rainy days ☔️🌧️ to add some color in my life. 🌈

#Fiberuarychallenge day 5: work in progress. I’m so close to finishing this cowl for #skykal !
This Glowhair Frost Cowl was supposed to be a 2 main skeins + 3 mohair skeins project, but I reduced a few sections to make it a 1-skein project. I love how it’s turning out!! 😍

Inspiration! #fiberuarychallenge Do you ever feel completely overwhelmed by your Ravelry queue?? I want to knit everything. Living in San Diego, my main knitting season is roughly Oct-Feb and so I’m starting to feel overwhelmed with my next project choice. What would you choose?? #knitsky

Stripes week! I love stripes. This is a cardigan I made in 2018 called Timely by Libby Jonson. Knit in Madtosh Eyre Light. The merino-alpaca-silk blend is so soft and smooth. 💜

Looking forward…. #fiberuarychallenge
The future seems uncertain. Trying to take one day at a time. The fiber community is my respite from unpleasant world events…
Keeping my focus on loving and supporting everyone 🏳️‍🌈 in my world while I just keep knitting. 🧶

Hi! 👋 Joining the #fiberuarychallenge
I’m Karen and I love knitting and fiber arts. After moving from Seattle (read: yarn paradise 🏝️ ) to San Diego (read: yarn desert🌵) I decided to start my own hand dyed yarn business. Magicland Yarn is a part time passion project. I love the fiber community!

Finished this cute headband for my daughter yesterday! Knit in our “Let Down Your Hair” colorway in Dreamy DK. 💜💕💜

An update on my #skykal
It’s been a chilly week and I keep finding myself reaching for this cowl project! This week, I was knitting a section with cables which seemed serendipitous for #showmeyourknits !
January 31, 2025 at 5:55 PM
More cables!
This is Stephen West’s Cabled Trelis Shawl from the 2nd #hiberknitting in 2021. I thought it was a “smart choice” in grayscale, but I was so bored!!! It is pretty though. 🖤

Cables week at #showmeyourknits
This is Twists and Turns - #Westknits #mkal for 2022. The shape and construction of this shawl was really unique, but for some reason the colors ended up reading “super hero” to me, so I don’t wear it much! 😆

It’s cable-week! Can I post something different each day? #showmeyourknits
I love the color way by #hedgehogfibres in this #beeswaxhat

Took my #skykal with me to #Disneyland yesterday. It was a cozy day for knitting before it started raining. ☔️ We need the rain in So Cal so much so I can’t complain!

Are you looking for yarn that’s essential?
Something vibrant and unspeakably lush?
Fiber with a glimmer of potential,
When knitted into something plush.
I know that your skills with yarn tension,
Are as strong as a warthog's stride,
So listen up, pay close attention,
This yarn is a matter of pride.
