    NETASPA – A short recap for the anxious

    April 13, 2025 - By 

    I am a very nervous person. I’m good at masking and appearing otherwise, but I’m usually filled with a decent mix of apprehension, self doubt, anxiety, and fear. NETASPA was one of the first events I went to without a clear idea of what to expect, and it ended up better than I envisioned. When I go to any event, I research it heavily beforehand. I find maps and programs from previous years, I find people that have attended and read their experiences, and I try to make up a plan for how I’m going to handle the different aspects…

    Yarnable – the cute little subscription box that made me go “meh”

    February 28, 2025 - By 

    This year is the year of trying new things. I currently have a subscription for Owl Post, which delivers hand dyed yarn and matching stitch markers every month. While I was glancing around at different subscription services that didn’t cost $100 every 3 months, I happened upon Yarnable. Don’t get me wrong, Yarnable is as described. It is hand dyed yarn on your base of choice (I went with DK), and the subscription cost varies depending on what tier or extras you choose. I chose to go with their Deluxe Experience, which includes the original 100 gram colorway, an additional…

    2025 – What’s coming, and what’s already done?

    February 2, 2025 - By

Anyway! My year is looking to be full of fun activities and events, and I’m looking ahead today to remind myself of my personal goals and also to be mindful of my project load – I’m already looking at more projects than last year, projects that are much bigger than my usual scarves and hand warmers, and I need to…

    Weird Sisters Wool Emporium – Owl Post? What is this, a yarn subscription for nerds?

    January 25, 2025 - By 

    Weird Sisters Wool Emporium is a fun site that I’ve been happy to buy from in the past – and I’m currently a subscriber of their Owl Post subscription box. The main Weird Sisters website is a glorious display of fandom and geekery. It has collections of pins and stickers and hand dyed yarn colorways inspired by some of our favorite universes growing up, as well as entirely new topics and graphics that the owners created themselves. I highly recommend taking a look at the website, and while you’re there, let’s pop in and see what’s going on with their…
