Join me this week for a look Behind the Skeins and into the daily life of a yarn dyer. There is a little bit of everything here: yarn, knitting, shipping, and "car confessions".
I will start by paying the internet pet tax: we loaded up all the kids and took them to get pup cups.
Are you like me and when you head out, you not only need your 40 oz water in your big cup, but you also need another 40 oz with your coffee/ protein shake? I make my low carb protein shake with almond milk, instant coffee, sugar free irish cream, protein powder, and ice. If I'm going to be out for a few hours I will need all the drinks with me.
I did manage to get a little knitting done. I made this coffee cup cozy with an adorable ghost on it. I am getting ready for spooky season! 👻
So Dave and I both have diabetes. I have been dealing with it for about two years now diagnosed and probably several more undiagnosed before that. We do a low carb diet and have the continuous glucose monitors. Those are pretty cool, they just sit on your arm and tell you when you are good...and when you are bad 😈. But the thing is I can simply walk past bread or something sweet and the alarm will go off! Dave on the other hand can sit down and have a cinnamon roll and sweet coffee for breakfast, mid day ice cream, and a glass of bourbon to end the day with no alarm sounding off for him. How is this fair!?! 😂
🧶This week in the dye pots I have been testing out new colorways. I am mixing and matching different formulas I already had to try and get new combinations for different depths and shades of colors. This batch turned out pretty well. There was only one color I was not happy with and will be trying again because it turned out splotchy.
Thanks for joining me this week while I show you some behind the scenes of what it is like here at Southern Skeins.
Happy making friends 🧶✨
