Yarn: Minds Eye Yarns Merino/Tencel Sock in “Black-Eyed Susan” Pattern: made up as I went along Notes: The tallest socks I’ve ever knit! And even though this was my primary vacation knitting, it didn’t show up in as many photos as Sock Monkey did, just because they quickly became unwieldy. …
Whew – what a week, y’all! I had a lot to get listed, plus getting ready for the July Craft Market, plus take care of some personal things this week (I know, I have a personal life that doesn’t involve crafting?! If it makes you feel better, one of the …

One of the things that excites me about HaldeCraft HandDyed is bringing in more one-shot colorways; every now and then I’m going to release a very limited colorway and when it sells out, it sells out. Having said that, let me introduce the first one! Dogwood is the name of …
Yarn: Mind’s Eye Yarns Merino/Tencel sock in “Golden Pumpkin” Pattern: Covered in Bees by Lorena Haldeman Notes: my first for-sale pattern, under the HaldeKnits line that I started a couple of months ago, in order to both write new patterns and import the old Hanks Yarn and Fiber ones. This is …

I am frequently asked questions about how I make my soap; here is my attempt to put together a little FAQ – please feel free to ask any unanswered questions, and I’ll happily add them! Why did you start making soap the way you do? At first it was because I wanted …

Have you been to any of your ancestor’s homelands?
Just as true now as it was 40 years ago.
In retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have set the goals for this that I did, since I was on vacation for the first nine days of the Tour. What is the Tour, you ask? Once a year, when cyclists in France take to the roads, spinners all across the world sit …
1. Covered in Bees – not up on Etsy, this toe-up sock pattern is available for sale on Ravelry; if you’re not on Ravelry and would like to purchase it, drop me a line, we can work something out. 2. Patchouli scented Celestial Moon 3. Bird and Flowers 4. Cedar …
Sometimes my friends have rough days. Sometimes they need to drop everything and drive halfway across the country to take care of people they love, because that’s just what you do. Sometimes I wish I could do more for them. The rest of my 2011 daily photos can be viewed here.
The Hanks Yarn and Fiber sock club still has one month to go (in fact, the colorway is drying now, and I’m super happy with it!); but I’m already planning the next one. There are a few changes, so please read and ask any questions. This listing will be active …
Yarn: Jaeger Pure Cotton, sent to me a couple of years ago by my lovely friend Karen. Thank you, dear! I love, love, love this yarn, just like you knew I would! Pattern: Buttercup by Heidi Kirrmaier Notes: Knitted primarily on Sunday evenings while watching Game of Thrones. Hence, the name …
When last we left our intrepid hero… we had finished talking about the dye and soap studio (by the way, I’ve made a category for this now); now it’s time to move on to the ceramics studio. I took pictures a while ago, but am just now getting around to …

I really want to thank everyone for their input on names — between what y’all said here, and talking to some of y’all in person while I was on vacation… I’ve settled on HaldeCraft HandDyed. I know, I know, and I totally don’t mind if old Hanksians call them “HaldeHanks” …
I don’t think this week brought anything new (I thought there was a new messy yarn mug, but it turns out that was a restock, dur); but there are a ton of renewings and relistings! 1. Pair of Pink Flamingos 2. Rosemary Mint Exfoliating Celtic Square soap 3. Mug with …
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport in “Tuscany” Pattern: Standard toe-up, made up as I went along
Why yes; yes we did. And then we drove home, and then the washing machine exploded, and then I bit off way more than I could chew with work, and have been buried ever since then. I uploaded the photos almost immediately, but didn’t finish naming them all until about …
Recently, I was in a situation where (and I hope/know a few of you will be shocked on my behalf) someone insulted my soap. It’s kind of a convoluted story*, and I’d like to be rather vague about the circumstances, but it resulted in an email back-and-forth between a friend …
