She makes a real effort to source materials local to her and her genuineness is what drew me to shop from her shop (and I even paid for shipping, something I usually avoid!). This bag can be used for makeup, craft projects or any other small items you need to carry! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/932554e2-dd69-4305-9c2c-a0f3af9f177a/ugly+sweater.png Blog - Etsy Gift Guide: The 2023 Holiday Season - Make it stand out Advent Calendar by MsPamelaOriginals: I thought I might be too late to purchase an Advent calendar this year, but turns out there are still some available! I purchased a yarn advent calendar (not this exact one, though) so that I can treat myself each day in December with a small gift, but you can get Advent/countdown type boxes of almost any kind. You deserve it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/69f3aec3-1442-44f2-b55f-ab3ec04538b3/love+sweater+stitch+marker.png Blog - Etsy Gift Guide: The 2023 Holiday Season - Make it stand out Flock Around the Table stitch markers: Indulge me - is this not the cutest stitch marker ever, makers?! I haven’t purchased this just yet, but I cannot get over how adorable it is. This shop also has selections for mystery stitch marker sets as well - a fun addition to your crafting toolbox! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/c809e266-ca4d-4f68-a745-b402cfed63ba/embroidery.png Blog - Etsy Gift Guide: The 2023 Holiday Season - Make it stand out Floral embroidery kit by Beaks and Bobbins: I am working on this gorgeous embroidery pattern and I cannot express enough how 1. beautiful it is and 2. how well-put-together the kit is! Trust me, I’ve worked from some kits that were lacking, especially for beginners like me, but this one is excellent! Embroidery is a fun, compact craft to try! I love gifting and receiving kits for crafts I’ve never tried before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/e2207434-3b28-4f19-977e-76609e5f6a71/dried+flowers.png Blog - Etsy Gift Guide: The 2023 Holiday Season - Make it stand out Dried Flower Bouquets by Woodbine Everlasting: This bouquet is another previous purchase of mine and the flowers and vase are a lasting gift that makes a small, but super cute impact in whatever space you choose to place it in! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/45064436-9098-4550-9154-742bb4cf0753/blind+date+with+a+book.png Blog - Etsy Gift Guide: The 2023 Holiday Season - Make it stand out Blind date with a book by Light it up Literary: This is such a fun idea that takes the pressure off picking the perfect book for your friend or loved one!

This brand is also sold on Target’s website so it’s easily accessible and I’ve ready great reviews about this particular conditioner bar so I’m excited to try it! It’s supposed to last even longer than the typical liquid conditioner and the packaging eliminates the typical plastic bottle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1626053883698-MLSTB2ZUHSFFVWONTIZB/bamboo-cotton-swab.jpg Blog - Earth Hero July 2021 Haul - LastSwab + bamboo instead of cotton swabs I already own and use the original Last Swab and love it - it’s easy to clean, too! However, I sometimes get mascara on my eyelids and still used a cotton swab to wipe it off, however I just purchased the Last Swab for beauty and think it will be the perfect solution! I also purchased bamboo cotton swabs for guests and to try as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1626053916943-R51SR33PSF8B3XYI95I6/bamboo-toothbrush.jpg Blog - Earth Hero July 2021 Haul - Bamboo toothbrushes I have been using bamboo toothbrushes for about seven months now and while there was an adjustment because it’s a bit bulkier than my previous plastic brushes, it’s has been an easy switch overall. This is a simple adjustment and bamboo will biodegrade, while plastic will not. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1626053945432-BVG9PPACBS5MDTDOVD3P/laundry-powder.jpg Blog - Earth Hero July 2021 Haul - Powder laundry detergent This is my second environmentally-friendly laundry detergent I’m trying. While the first worked great on towels and regular clothing, it did not work well in our loads with active wear. Therefore, I’m trying this new-to-me detergent and it’s actually a powder instead of liquid or tablets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1626053977567-HF4KFNQ2JE0R8CZB2TJZ/dish-clothes.jpg Blog - Earth Hero July 2021 Haul - Organic dish cloths We needed a few new dish cloths and I wanted to support a business that prioritizes environmentally-friendly materials and ethical practices. These also had good reviews. I’ve used these once so far and they worked well to scrub my glass pan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1626055310917-JZ52G2BYSXNVQFRM31F7/final-stray.jpg Blog - Earth Hero July 2021 Haul - Reusable travel straw Beware, this was an investment (but I’ve since seen reusable travel straws at Target for about $5), however it so cute and I decided to treat myself. I love the coral case, included cleaning utensil and colorful straw! It folds up incredibly easy, so far is easy to clean and is easy to use. This is the most exciting purchase in this haul to me! It’s much smaller than I thought, but I love that - now I’m just nervous I’ll lose it or leave it at a restaruant! One caveat, while it includes a chain, it doesn’t include a keychain ring to actually clip onto a bag which is a bit disapointing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1626055584412-M8J7VL66KP9I69QPLTQD/10+pin+graphics+%288%29.png Blog - Earth Hero July 2021 Haul - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bellchaseruby.com/blog/indy-dyed-yarn-i-love monthly 0.5 2021-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590182930389-Y0J63IU2WH0HAY5XT20Y/knit-collage-kalediscopecardi-2.jpg Blog - Indie dyed + handspun yarn I love - Kaleidoscope Cardi knit in all handspun Knit Collage yarn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590182944064-T4W3AV8J0VVSIV74IOHA/20200213_160957-01.jpg Blog - Indie dyed + handspun yarn I love - Explorer Knits and Fibers Great Barrier Reef National Park color way https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590334013641-TNYMLFLEHKWNYT1E808N/sewrella-yarns-shaved-ice.jpg Blog - Indie dyed + handspun yarn I love - Shaved Ice hand-dyed yarn by Sewrella yarns https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590182981455-15R622I72CNMHH4FXBZ7/20191012_091650.jpg Blog - Indie dyed + handspun yarn I love - Squishy Rosewood Scarf in Sewrella Yarn Now titled Sewrella Yarn (was Handmade Home Fibers) I think this yarn was called Shaved Ice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590182966751-C6NVQ8LHOJL5Y0HH65G3/20191012_092606-01.jpg Blog - Indie dyed + handspun yarn I love - Second look at the Rosewood Scarf in Sewrella Yarn Shaved Ice color way by Sewrella Yarn (formally Handmade Home Fibers) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590528321064-U6OHZQOEEVE9FIFW0EEL/Kenyarn-mermaid-gossip+3.45.16+AM.png Blog - Indie dyed + handspun yarn I love - Kenyarn The only male dyer on the list, he creates bright and fun color ways that I can’t get enough of // Picture from @kenyarn instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590528330418-E8EVZVI4SRFY1SHW8W0V/Hello-Stella-Fibers.png Blog - Indie dyed + handspun yarn I love - Hello Stella Fibres She just keeps hitting me over and over with more gorgeousness that I didn’t even know was possible!

I simply make it a point to reach for these instead of disposable paper towels when I need to clean or wipe something up. If you have extra rags laying around, you could simply use them as paper towels instead of purchasing these new as well! 7.11.21 UPDATE: Love these! I want to get a few more as well because we use them so often. (If you have extra rags, those would work well, too.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1613603712381-26V2TW69HEZ06O8MZ972/01-lastobject-lastswab-basic-black-1.jpg Blog - My Eco-Friendly Adjustments in 2021 (so far!) - LastSwab instead of cotton swab This is a reusable option I never thought of before I received it as a gift, but I like it! It is incredibly easy to clean so no worries about reusing it as an ear swab. However, I also turn to cotton swabs if I get mascara on my eye lid - I like to dab a little eye makeup remover on the swab then remove the mascara on my skin and I still use my cotton swabs for this. I’m not sure how, yet, to replace this routine. 7.11.21 UPDATE: Love this and I just got a Beauty Last Swab so that should solve the make-up issue. (There are also bamboo disposable cotton swabs if you prefer.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1613603984897-05RMJO39U7BNF4OIXY7P/CleanEssentials_Straight_1400x.jpg Blog - My Eco-Friendly Adjustments in 2021 (so far!) - Blueland cleaners I haven’t tried these yet, but I love the initiative to use less plastic packaging in your cleaning supplies plus using less chemicals in your products. And because all of the cleaning products are actually tablets that dissolve in water, all you have to do is purchase new tablets when it’s time for a refill instead of buying an entirely new bottle of cleaner. 7.11.21 UPDATE: Purchased these last night, will update you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1613604812705-FZJZ3I63KTTTWT0S0P8Q/sensitiveskin-unscented.jpg Blog - My Eco-Friendly Adjustments in 2021 (so far!) - Dropps laundry detergent I discovered this company threw Instagram and here’s a bit from their website: “Our go-to detergent uses natural plant-based enzymes to help you take on everything from sweat to coffee stains. Great for fabrics you throw in regular or permanent press loads like cotton, athletic wear or poly…” There’s so many chemicals in your everyday detergent (plus the plastic packaging!)” 7.11.21 UPDATE: I actually really like the DROPPS dishwasher pods! However, the laundry pods worked well for basic loads, but the sweatiest workout clothes still had an odor. Dropps has since released an “active“ laundry pod, which would potentially help with this, but I have not tried it yet. I’ll be trying other brands to see if there is one that works better! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1613605735763-9XAP0TDGO6HK4UBI9LJ7/Georganics-Natural-Toothpaste-Tablets-Spearmint-2.jpg Blog - My Eco-Friendly Adjustments in 2021 (so far!) - Toothpaste Tablets OK, this has been the biggest adjustment for me. I also began using a bamboo toothbrush at the same time that I wanted to start using this. Instead, I gave myself some time to get used to the bulkiness of the bamboo toothbrush then started implementing these into my tooth brushing routine a couple months later. The taste is pretty strong and it was a shock the first few times I used it, but it just takes some getting used to! 7.11.21 UPDATE: I haven’t used these very much and I’m not a fan of the flavor to be honest. I also did some research and some dentist do not recommend fluoride-free toothpastes (which this one is). I still would like a more environmentally-friendly toothpaste, so I’m still looking! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1613606001196-HZ6NDCT03F6TMK4R1N0M/khala-cloths-Khala-vegan-Reusable-Food-Wraps-Variety-Pack-3.jpg Blog - My Eco-Friendly Adjustments in 2021 (so far!) - Vegan food wraps Beeswax wraps are another great option to replace plastic wrap for food storage, but these are the ones I tried. They are a bit tricky to get used to because at first they’re a bit stiff, but just as the instructions say, once you warm them with your hands, they’re easily bendable to preserve your food. 7.11.21 UPDATE: We use these seldomly to be quite honest. I ruined one by mistake putting it in the toaster oven (smh). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1613606860228-XO0SSLCP8PH3Q0QWYVQC/Pela-Case-Compostable-Honey-Bee-iPhone-Pela-Case-6-7-8-1.jpg Blog - My Eco-Friendly Adjustments in 2021 (so far!) - Compostable phone case I haven’t tried one of these but a fellow fiber artist recommended this case and I can’t wait to try it! Phone cases are one of the many items that I’ve never considered when it comes to the use of plastics. “This is why we are developing products made of environmentally sensible materials. To educate and inspire the global community of people who are committed to making a positive impact on our planet.” - Pela about page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1613607876394-2XXMZWYKX9EOZCWUXZJW/10+pin+graphics+%285%29.png Blog -

Plus, just think of all the money you’re saving instead of purchasing plastic water bottles. My personal favorite is from The Pink Pineapple Creations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1596759245486-J9E6TJ7WHFHW0EGR55GC/Detailed+clothing+tag Blog - 5 more simple eco-friendly adjustments - Look at the tag to find out what your clothes are made of + look for natural materials I never reviewed the materials label on my clothes before my eco-friendly journey began. And even if I did, I honestly didn’t understand what each fiber was or how it was created. Dive a little deeper into purchasing garments (or at least checking the label) to look for items made from natural materials like cotton, linen, tencel/lyocell, wool, alpaca, etc. These natural fibers are a great place to start instead of investing in synthetic fibers like polyester, rayon, acrylic, etc. I have an upcoming blog post dedicated solely to this subject! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1596759293420-TPY10K4CN0CKL03RL83S/Fashion+fashion+harming+environment Blog - 5 more simple eco-friendly adjustments - Decrease support of fast fashion Purchasing with a purpose is so important and investing in long-lasting pieces will help support an eco-friendly lifestyle because the less you buy (especially the less virgin materials or clothing purchased), the more your are helping the planet. The longer lifecycle clothing has helps to reduce the impact of fast fashion on the environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1596759342506-IAAYYG3GNLBGT6DTYQIB/Reusable+grocery+bags Blog - 5 more simple eco-friendly adjustments - Reusable grocery bags This one is another suggestion you’ve probably heard over and over again, but it’s definitely true. In fact, in Chicago (and other cities, but Chicago is the one I have firsthand experience with) there’s a plastic bag charge if you don’t bring your own reusable bag. Simply leave a few bags in the trunk of your car so you always have them with you! More than likely, you probably already have bags that you can use so you can save here as well by using what you already have. I have heard some argue that the environmental impact of these bags is just as harmful as plastic bags, unless you reuse them time and time again. This also aligns with the previous point about reducing fast fashion so don’t simply buy countless reusable bags- instead wash and reuse what you have to really help the planet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1596759409807-VEZ85610OWGB5HL7I5HF/Use+less.png Blog - 5 more simple eco-friendly adjustments - Use less This sounds silly, but I’ve consciously tried to simply see where I can reduce my plastic consumption in my everyday life. It’s not only plastic either - where and what are the items I don’t need to use and can eliminate from my everyday life? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1597116210770-CJB2ATJ875RMQM5Z832N/Eco-friendly+everyday+lifestyle+tips Blog - 5 more simple eco-friendly adjustments https://bellchaseruby.com/blog/small-shop-gift-guide-fall-finds monthly 0.5 2020-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1599084377876-COHWVAP69TK52OF389HD/embroidered+shirt.jpg Blog - Small Shop Gift Guide: Fall Finds - Embroidered custom shirt The great part- you can choose any saying you want! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1599085390873-7UG5EU18EFH80W8XTXZ4/Concrete+gold+soy+candle.jpg Blog - Small Shop Gift Guide: Fall Finds - Concrete candle with soy wax and gold flakes I’m not a huge candle person, but these are so stunning, I don’t even know if I could light them.

However the yarn comes in cones and the easiest way to dye it is to wind it into hanks, as pictured here. So that I could try several different tie-dye techniques, I divided the yarn into four separate hanks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590175682153-QPKU3X7NRTU5RRMD4RRX/Weighing+cotton+t-shirt+yarn+skeins Blog - Tie-dying cotton t-shirt yarn - Weighing the yarn Next up, I weighed each hank for an idea of the amount of yarn and to make sure it would be enough to make one basket from each hank. (Small baskets are approximately 90-100 grams, and medium baskets are around 250 grams.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590176349964-3V2CKN1NW2AP4NZ5O92N/Tie+Dye+Tools+and+cotton+t-shirt+yarn Blog - Tie-dying cotton t-shirt yarn - Tools: Tulip Tie-Dye Kit I definitely want to try out more natural dyes, but for my first time ever, it was important to me to keep it as simple as possible and work my way up to natural dyes. So I started with an all-in-one kit from Tulip! After checking reviews, it was the top recommended one available. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590176324367-5FZ8LYIJI3LJH2O5CPSU/Preparing%2Bto%2Btie%2Bdye Blog - Tie-dying cotton t-shirt yarn - Washing the yarn + prep your area The very first step in the actual process, is a bit boring, but it’s dying the yarn. If you’re using a cotton t-shirt, throwing it in the washer is fine, but since this is yarn I thoroughly hand-washed it. But on the plus side, no need to dry it. It’s actually best to dye on damp yarn. Also, before you dye, make sure you safely prep your space! The kit includes a plastic table cover and gloves so just put these down to cover your table and skin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590176479872-GH7XN8LD8O8OKTUVIM7N/Yarn+dye+helper Blog - Tie-dying cotton t-shirt yarn - Enlist a helper Now we’re ready to try out tie-dying yarn for the first time! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590176217952-3VCFK5E1WX7HR7KNWOTX/Additional+yarn+dye+powder Blog - Tie-dying cotton t-shirt yarn - Select your colors We chose to work with only three colors to start that coordinate with one another for a less striking change in tone. We used purple, violet and turquoise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590177506178-IN9HK8CMXIUW9GJWM5D3/spotted+pastel+tie+dye+yarn+in+progress.jpg Blog - Tie-dying cotton t-shirt yarn - Apply the dye: Speckled technique I don’t have pictures of us actually dying since we had gloves on and were into experimenting with the different techniques, but this turned out to be one of my favorites! It looks so spotted when you’re actually dying it, but once it’s knit up into a basket, the gorgeous shades of purple, violet and turquoise peek through the white. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590177621998-7D5Q46FKUCU40SDOELOE/Pastel+shades+of+turquoise+velvet+and+purple Blog - Tie-dying cotton t-shirt yarn - Dye the yarn: Scrunched technique Tulip has many videos about different dye techniques on their website and YouTube that you can check out for reference. We tried both the spiral technique and scrunching the yarn into a ball tied with rubberbands and found that they created the same end results. However, I’m sure it would be a different case when dying a t-shirt as show in Tulip’s videos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590177684612-YGG824CGOGSIG6RP7IWK/Turquoise+ocean+dyed+yarn Blog - Tie-dying cotton t-shirt yarn - Using one color I wanted to attempt to create an ombre or gradient effect with one color and we chose the turquoise to attempt this with! We squirted the turquoise dye directly on the yarn at first to create the darkest shades then we poured some out and filled it with water to try to get a lighter shade (per the instructions), but honestly it was still dark and we didn’t see much of a difference, so instead we poured the dye onto our (gloved) hands and applied it this way with our hands and that produced lighter shades. It was also helpful to fold the darker half on the still-white side of the yarn and this also created a lighter ombre effect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590177596281-QPPZHN7RUNKKL764DOGY/Tie+dye+yarn+finished+and+in+plastic Blog - Tie-dying cotton t-shirt yarn - Wrap the dyed yarn in plastic wrap Wrap each section of yarn in its own plastic wrap and let it sit. I let it sit overnight and it ended up to be about 18 hours before I got to it the following day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590177424716-VVJY5PPUA8LUGW8VKRTN/Color+paper+towel+post+dye Blog - Tie-dying cotton t-shirt yarn - Take a pic of the fun paper towel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590177359206-I9GOX7V3L796SBTYOQIQ/Tie+dyed+yarn+still+wet Blog - Tie-dying cotton t-shirt yarn - The next day… After letting it sit overnight, or however long you like, unwrap the yarn and now it’s time to rinse it again. I rinsed then washed then rinsed repeatedly until the water ran completely clear. I even scrubbed and irritated the yarn a bit to try to eliminate future bleeding. The turquoise gradient yarn barely ran at all, same with the speckled. However the other two bled quite a bit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590177560091-SN06TDWY8L2DKU526HOI/Wet+tie+dye+yarn+on+arm+displayed Blog - Tie-dying cotton t-shirt yarn - Hang to dry I love the way these yarns came out! I feel like the colors barely dimmed. But now the yarn has to dry and for this I hung it in on the shower. The lighter skeins dried within 12 hours, while the heavier skeins took about 36 hours to dry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590180119753-4NM9LWD5Q0IE44GSRXG0/Tie+Dyed+finished+yarn+balls Blog - Tie-dying cotton t-shirt yarn - Once dry, wind yarn into balls Once the yarn is finally dry, I wound it into balls and they turned into these gorgeous products!

It quickly became one of my most popular beanie styles of the season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1582867709763-BEDOT5Z5Y1OHIWUPP7TX/row-4-col-3.jpg Blog - My 2019 Knitting Journey - Winter/Spring 2019: My first sweater At the beginning of 2019, I knit my very first sweater. It was a kit from We Are Knitters. This sweater was my also first time knitting with 100% wool. It turned out smaller than it was supposed to be; it was basically cropped (my gauge had to have been too tight, even though I switched!) At the end of 2019, I went back and added length to the sweater and am now MUCH happier with it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1582869204193-14RI8ENE7ENA97XK4VCJ/Daisy%2BBlanket%2Bclose.jpg Blog - My 2019 Knitting Journey - Spring/Summer: The Daisy Blanket I can’t say enough good things about this blanket! I used the daisy stitch (hence the name) and it’s a perfect accessory for as throw for your living room. I designed it myself for a family member and I LOVE this stitch and am so proud of the blanket overall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1582869187760-ROET1EBF32GMYLXP8SAI/Colorblock%2BCardi_me8.jpg Blog - My 2019 Knitting Journey - Summer 2019: My first cardigan I knit the Colorblock Cardi over the summer - it was a big, chunky and oversized knit. I second-guessed myself and knit a larger size which I think now is a little too oversized, but it was a fast knit which is what I was looking for at the time. It’s a pretty heavy and WARM cardigan so I haven’t worn it much, but I LOVE the pockets and overall it’s cute. It’s helped me to realize I need to be more confident in my sizing and not be scared of knitting the size that would actually fit my body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1582869001490-PKGYIXIXFW8ULG9SHKCO/20191012_091650.jpg Blog - My 2019 Knitting Journey - September 2019: The Emma Scarf I knit this scarf for my grandma and it was a huge one for me because this is a gorgeous pattern I’ve admired since it was released, plus I used indie-dyed yarn from Handmade Home Fibers. I combined solid yellow with the colorful shaved ice color way to create a gradient effect that I love! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1582514308286-OYD0XUN9KU76KL7OH50Y/mix+%26+match.jpg Blog - My 2019 Knitting Journey - September 2019: Bears collection The Bears didn’t perform so well this season but I knitted a collection inspired by the team’s colors. This taught me about designing my own hats and narrowing down what to include in a collection. I love trying out new designs, but there came a point I had to stop myself and repeat some designs so I had multiples in my inventory! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1582866843020-KMNW4IFAT42FSPU3CZXD/Slide01.jpg Blog - My 2019 Knitting Journey - Fall 2019: Finally made PremKnits Designs! In 2019, I made multiple Braided Cable Beanies and Big Braid Beanies by PremKnits. The Braided Cable Beanie was the first beanie I ever admired and thought it was too difficult for me to accomplish, but I did it! After experimenting with different yarn weights, I feel like I gained a solid understanding of the pattern! For me, I thought I would love the Big Braid Beanie, but it fell a little flat once I actually put it on, maybe it needs a litter more experimentation. But I’m so happy I finally made these designs that I’ve admired for so long! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1582867088109-RX4ANN0NOKG56NKAER1O/style+.jpg Blog - My 2019 Knitting Journey - November 2019: Released the Daffodil Collection The Daffodil Collection was my first coordinating collection of hats, scarves and headbands. I chose designs that I considered to be feminine and cute to include in this array of winter accessories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1582869690281-GZ8KQI2LAMXBNKOYQYP6/Kaleidoscope+Cardigan+Knit+Collage.jpg Blog - My 2019 Knitting Journey - Fall/Winter 2019: Kaleidoscope Cardigan My FAVORITE knit of the entire year. This was my first time ever participating in a Knit-A-Long and it won't be my last that’s for sure. This yarn is handspan by women in India and has lace and daisies interwoven into it. This entire cardigan is absolutely gorgeous plus it’s wool and I never got too hot wearing it! It makes me smile and brings me joy every time I wear it and it is truly one-of-a-kind! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1582570396895-5ISVEVY767SXC4CX8HEI/Favorite+projects+handmade+knit+DIY Blog - My 2019 Knitting Journey https://bellchaseruby.com/blog/not-books-but-my-favorite-podcasts monthly 0.5 2020-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1582328793387-O4PG7VK82CPBBYKKUDWK/Top-Podcast-Recommendations Blog - Not books, but my favorite podcasts.... https://bellchaseruby.com/blog/favorite-books-2019 monthly 0.5 2020-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1582001261464-G91WVJ6MGJOIS5MT70F2/Where+the+Crawdads+Sing+Book+Review Blog - Favorite Books of 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1582059931890-CMEJ672OVK6ENYD5KWM0/2019+Book+Recommendations Blog - Favorite Books of 2019 https://bellchaseruby.com/blog/small-shops-i-love monthly 0.5 2020-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1566879454493-KU1FHXUP1FW053UMH0XH/RKC+Handmade+faux+fur+pom+poms.jpeg Blog - EB Knits Resources: Small shops I love RKC Handmade faux fur poms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1566882939103-FJJ9Y2RW14FXVJCQ8AFY/original+product+tag.jpeg Blog - EB Knits Resources: Small shops I love - Tags by All This Wood faux leather tags custom engraved https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1566882934488-8G6PODNCAYZOD8D3JY21/seed+paper+hang+tags.jpeg Blog - EB Knits Resources: Small shops I love - FlowerSeed Paper Biodegradable paper woven with seeds of wildflowers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1566883119288-6PZZYI2P890O0R67MM5U/stamp.jpg Blog - EB Knits Resources: Small shops I love - Stamp by Creatiate custom stamp for small businesses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1581659374432-GVUJRITY9UT033BHZ78B/20200213_160521-01.jpg Blog - EB Knits Resources: Small shops I love - Wool and the Gang Super Trouper Wool machine washable wool in bright colors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590093783090-4TM0ZDYZP6LL39JXN0J5/echoview-yarn-cotton.jpg Blog - EB Knits Resources: Small shops I love - Echoview Fiber Mill Organic Cotton organic cotton domestically grown and spun in the United States in multiple colors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1590106068215-PU2H3U3QK6XCOJBAXYJA/Ethical+Small+Source+to+source+materials+from Blog - EB Knits Resources: Small shops I love https://bellchaseruby.com/blog/transition-eco-friendly-business monthly 0.5 2021-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1573786642149-Z765QIXX7PK2AWBPKNU7/3.png Blog - Transition to an Eco-Friendly Business: My Journey https://bellchaseruby.com/blog/movetoflorida monthly 0.5 2020-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56763cd1d8af102d24d8750a/1579639202487-HH72DFLA9T2HKTAHTG0J/Pinterest+business+move+across+country Blog - EB Knits has moved to Florida!
