Cherry Grove is a funnel cowl that is a perfect selfish knitting project for January. Made out of Blue Sky Fibers Metalico, a 50/50 Baby Alpaca/Silk blend, it is almost as nice to knit up as it is to wear. Link in bio.

I have released a new hat pattern on Ravelry with a personal message just in time for the midterm elections. Don’t let anyone stand in the way of letting your voice be heard. Vote! Five dollars from each individual sale of this pattern will be donated to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Link in profile.

I always look forward to the one little pop of color each month in my mailbox. Colorway is Give Peeps A Chance, the October 2018 selection for Oink Pigments Yarn of the Month club. Base is Nimbus, which is 80/10/10 MCN. #oinkpigments #roygpig #treatyoself #knitweardesigner (at Suffolk County, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpvBXSXFLFM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1djlhybmbm4vp

Sunday brunch is always best at home. Monte made me by favorite in honor of how hard I’ve been working. Haven’t knit a stitch in over a week. Love how Hank is sniffing the air because bacon. #wafflewafflewaffle #hank #fall2018 #home #wafflesofinstagram (at Suffolk County, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo6xjURnqck/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fpagaxso9e5
