The Poppy Headband test knit application is live!! This adorable accessory set lets you match with your furry friends in style. It’s a super quick beginner-friendly knit, and a lot of fun! The test knit application is linked in my bio 🐶 The project uses bulky weight yarn (or worsted weight held double). Any yarn may be used for the test knit, but sample yarn info is below: 🩷 The pink sample was knit with @barabarasoftwares bulky yarn (discount available for testers upon request). It’s an incredibly beautiful, soft merino yarn made from Wyoming sheep and hand dyed by a San Francisco artist using dyes made from plants and bugs!  🧡 The orange sample was knit with Cascade 220 held double purchased at @theimagiknit :-) Test knitting is a huge help for small designers like me, and it would mean the world if you applied or shared this with your pet-loving friends!! 💕 #knitting #knitstagram #testknitcall #testknittersofinstagram

What do you dream of creating? This week is the annual Bay Area Yarn Crawl @bayareayarncrawl , where 20+ local yarn shops around the Bay Area participate in a festival of fiber. I purchased this @malabrigoyarn silk yarn from @theimagiknit in Berkeley at last year’s crawl and returned this year to show off my creation — a golden shawl that has accompanied me to two weddings and countless outings. It’s my favorite project to date and I am so proud of the final product after many hours of frustration, unraveling, and trying again. The process is often just as important as the end result. It’s where we learn, grow, and triumph! Message me if you’re interested in private or small group crochet lessons! Let’s grow together! #homemade #crochet #bayareayarncrawl #malabrigomora

Did I mention that we have a new rainbow mini set debuting at @theimagiknit for the @bayareayarncrawl ? The Castro Rainbow was created to honor the neighborhood that gave the fiber community both the shop’s original location, and me! Yes friends, I’m not only a proud San Francisco native, I grew up in the Castro. My parents lived at the corner of 18th & Castro in the early years of their marriage and beginning of my life, and they are still in the neighborhood. It gets deeper - my mom also grew up in the Castro! You all know how much I love my hometown and have been honoring it through yarn colorways (Army Street, Twinkie Defense, Karl the Fog, #HaightAshburyLife, to name a few) but it’s been a minute since we’ve had something new for the city. Well, the wait is over! Each colorway was inspired by the rainbow crosswalks at the corner of 18th & Castro and honors different places (or people) that you’ll find: • Cliff’s Variety - Hardware, gifts and my first tiara. Trust me, just go there (and they have fabric next door). • Uncle Joe Muni - (old lady voice) back in my day, the Muni busses were a groovy, 70’s orange and were referred to (at least by my classmates) as Uncle Joe Muni. As in, “hey, how are you getting home from school?” If the response was “Uncle Joe” we knew it meant the bus. • The Gold Lamé Guy - naked guy save for a small piece of gold lamé on his nether region. He’s out when the weather is good and usually has other similarly (un)dressed friends. #NoTanLines • Dolores Park - it’s where one goes when it’s nice out, and a fun (and free) place to hang out. Yes, it will smell like weed. • Moby Dick is one of many gay bars in the area and any stories I may have from youthful partying at said bars will NOT be shared on the internet! • Kasa - it’s an Indian restaurant and you can’t miss it if you pass by as it’s…purple! This is my special spot with my mom and it’s been too long since my last visit. Mini sets are available at the SF location of #ImagiKnit on Butter Sock and Butter Sparkle. I’ll bring some in Butter Sock DK Thursday for Knit Night/my Fireside Chat! What’s your favorite spot in the Castro?
