Did you know that I all of the yarn I dye on is grown and processed in the USA? It’s a commitment that I made for my business in 2015 when I left Etsy and began selling through my own website. Shown here is the colorway New Moon is my super squishy worsted weight, superwash merino wool base, Everyday Worsted. . . . #ontheround #yarn #indiedyer #domesticwool #sweaterknitting #ravelry #lilletsweater #yarnlove (at Owls Head, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuZgb6eFQQb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xa6d9cz0yi30

My intention was to knit until this was done... but that didn’t happen. I suppose it is a reminder to stay flexible. The pattern is Lillet by @theacolman and the yarn is Everyday a Worsted in New Moon. . . . . #ontheround #yarn #knitting #lilletsweater #domesticwool #indiedyer (at Rockland, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvJ9wqFFUMw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=117vfog14sajq

I made some good progress on my Lillet sweater this weekend! 🌟 While working on this project I’ve been thinking a lot about my creativity and the ways that I’ve stifled myself over the last couple of years. In the name of business decisions I’ve created boxes around myself. 🌟 One example would be not making changes to patterns (something I’ve always loved to do) so not to offend the designer or have to explain my changes in such detail to my audience. But I can’t do it anymore. I have to give myself permission to follow my own creativity, wherever it wants to take me. 🌟 I read a post by @lavanyapatricella on Instagram this weekend about reconnecting with creativity and it sent me into complete tears. 🌟 When seemingly simple things rip your heart open, that is your clue that you have work to do. 🌟 #ontheround #knitting #creativity #yourheartswork #authenticsharing #babycocktails #lilletsweater #yarnlove (at Rockland, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bul1DYKFncn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ztay5p50092e

I am half way done with the sleeves on my Lillet sweater! I like to alternate between 2 sleeves using 16” circular needles. I usually knit to the decrease and then switch to the other sleeve. This keeps my sleeves identical, something I’ve struggled with in the past! . . . #ontheround #yarn #knitting #lilletsweater #babycocktails #domesticwool #knittersofravelry # (at Rockland, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvFREC4FTiQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8sd79p5pu1ap

I don’t know what’s worse, being sick or getting yourself moving again after you’ve been sick. I would spend the rest of my life on sleeve to avoid being sick. 🤣 🌟 Pattern : Lillet by @theacolman (which I did not knit on at all this weekend, or anything else for that matter). 🌟 Yarn : Everyday Worsted in New Moon 🌟 #Ontheround #knitting #lilletsweater #handdyedyarn #madeintheusa #domesticwool #ontheroundyarn (at Owls Head, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu3mOuiFvFF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cpopam05lqmr
