#yarnlovechallengefebday24 :: LYS :: Unfortunately there aren’t any local yarn stores in my town anymore. 😢 We used to have three, but In recent years they’ve all closed. So I shop my stash! (It’s a good thing to do regularly because I frequently forget what I have!) 😆 I probably have nearly enough yarn in my stash to open an LYS myself! 😆 I would LOVE to do that someday!! ❤️

Happy mail day!

Cozy Evening In

I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather these last few days and so am enjoying a nice cozy evening in: Knitting, watching Netflix, and listening to Sunny snoring! (Her snores are truly the coziest, most soothing sound of well-being I think I’ve ever heard! 😴💗🐶💗😆💗) I also love the way she tucks her back feet under her front armpits to keep them warm while she’s sleeping – so brilliant!

Making…

#yarnlovechallengeaprilday24 :: Newest WIP :: Yesterday I cast on another pair of #twinleafgloves because a friend said: "I don't knit, but I want a pair of those!" 😊 #yarnlovechallenge #yarnlovechallengeapril #sarahinskeepknits #sarahinskeepdesigns #knitting #handknitgloves #laceknitting #handknitlace #handknitlacegloves

#yarnlovechallengeday25 :: Routine :: I LOVE my morning routine because it's how I get my #knitting time every day! I actually get up an hour early every morning so that I can #knit before heading off to work. Since my quiet alone knitting time is planned into my morning schedule everyday, it's something I can always count on and look forward to and is a big part of my sense of wellbeing. This is how it goes: I get up, eat breakfast, get ready for work, knit (for absolutely as long as possible!), and then go to work. ☺❤ Having that morning knit always gets me started on the right foot! #sarahinskeepknits #sarahinskeepdesigns #routine #dailyroutine

#yarnlovechallengefebday19 :: Notebook :: This is my Stash Notebook, wherein I keep samples & helpful data regarding the yarn in my stash! It’s like a tactile snapshot of what I have on hand at the moment and comes in VERY whether I’m designing a new pattern or planning a project! I especially love being able to touch and feel the yarn samples - makes a big difference as photos have only so much to tell!

About to cast on and knit a sample for a new hat pattern I’m working on! The speckled yarn is “Over the Rainbow Speckles” by #knitcircusyarns , and the blue is “In a Galaxy Far Far Away” by #expressionfiberarts #sarahinskeepknits #sarahinskeepdesigns #chevronlacehat #knitterstooltins (at George Washington and Jefferson National Forests)

#yarnlovechallengeseptemberday3 :: Most loved project :: Got a slightly sarcastic but humorous take on this one! ...Not long after we were married, I wanted to knit something practical for Hubby that he would enjoy wearing. Naturally, a hat came to mind! When asked what kind of hat I should make for him that he would actually wear, Hubby said: "Black, and plain. No cables, no patterns, no colors; just black and plain." Of course, I thought: " BORING!!" But I wanted to knit him something he would like, so I tried my best to knit him the black, plain, BORING hat! But... I couldn't resist adding a red angora lining! "Angora is so soft, and no one would see it on the inside," I thought... Hubby was dubious, but he did bravely wear the hat - all of one time, to a family gathering (my family of course)! Unfortunately, a bit of red fuzz from the angora lining emerged and remained mingled with his facial hair. It wasn't glaring, so I didn't notice it, and probably no one else did either. But Hubby was SO mortified when he noticed it in the mirror that night, that he refused to ever wear the hat again! So the infamous black, plain, not so boring hat became mine and has been well loved and much worn despite the fact that it is too big for me! 😉😂😂😂💗 #yarnlovechallenge #yarnlovechallengeseptember #sarahinskeepknits #sarahinskeepdesigns

#yarnlovechallengeseptemberday2 :: Winding :: I'm winding some #junipermoonfarm #herriotyarn to knit samples for a new design! Herriot is 100% baby alpaca, SO incredibly soft and warm! I've loved it since it first came out and I think it will always be one of my favorites! 😍 #yarnlovechallengeseptember #yarnlovechallenge #sarahinskeepknits #sarahinskeepdesigns #yarnwinder

#yarnlovechallengeseptemberday1 :: Intro/Why I Love Yarn :: I could write a whole book about why I love yarn, but I think it mainly boils down to these three reasons: 1) The endless creative potential, 2) The gorgeous colors, and last but not least 3) The feel of yarn (softness & texture). All of these things make yarn both captivating & comforting to me. 💗 #yarnlovechallenge #yarnlovechallengeseptember #sarahinskeepknits #sarahinskeepdesigns #whyiloveyarn

#yarnlovechallengejuneday11 :: Drink :: Nothing beats a drink & a knit! My fav drink to combine with knitting is a nice hot, foamy latte! As far as I'm concerned, it's never too hot for coffee! 😉#yarnlovechallenge #yarnlovechallengejune #sarahinskeepknits #sarahinskeepdesigns #knitting #latte #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #knitters
