Finished my fingerless mittens. I've tried to crochet in the style of Scandinavian 'hønsestrik' knitting. Very popular in the seventies. You're supposed to choose your own symbols and also your name and knit it in a repetitive way in colorful bands. They made al kind of clothing like this, even long vests and skirts. I'm very proud that I found a way to not knit, but crochet this.

SHOP UPDATE TIME!⁠

January, to me, is the leftovers month of the year. The holiday chaos has settled, my fridge is full of odd food pairings (jar of clotted cream with fancy star-shaped pickles, anyone?), and I’ve rediscovered a small stockpile of canned goods I clearly meant to use… at some point.⁠

And just like my pantry, my yarn shelves were holding onto things I set aside in 2024—mostly yarn bases I collected but never had time to dye. So, I decided to embrace that energy and throw it all into my dye pans!⁠

This month, I’m not chasing a grand new collection or meticulously planning a seasonal colorway drop. Instead, I’ve taken a different approach—working with whatever bases I had on hand, dyeing freely, without overthinking, and seeing where the process led me.⁠

The result? A fresh batch of completely unique yarn, dyed across a mix of bases—each with its own little quirks. I’ve got Sparkly Singles ready to shine, a delicious accumulation of Mighty Merino Fingering, and, of course, our all-time favorite: Squirm Sock. Every colorway was dyed with an open mind, a touch of spontaneity, and that January ‘let’s make something out of what’s already here’ attitude.⁠
