Mustard (and dusty pink) lovers, SAVE THIS POST. .

Mustard (and dusty pink) lovers, SAVE THIS POST.
.
If you're like me, I'm always wondering how similar colors in different lines compare to each other. I thought it might be helpful for me to show you the different shades of mustard in @lionbrandyarn. The 2nd slide shows a dusty pink fade from my stash.
.
🧡Mustard💛, clockwise:
Woolspun in Honey
Heartland in Yellowstone
Wool-Ease in Gold
Color Made Easy in Kombucha
Jeans in Top Stitch
Woolspun in Mahogany
Hue & Me in Arrowwood
Chainette in Mustard
.
💗Dusty Pink fade💗, top to bottom:
Wool-Ease in Natural Heather
Hue & Me in Desert
Woolspun in Blush
Hue & Me in Rose Water
Color Made Easy in Millennial
.
Question for you: Where on the mustard spectrum is your fav? You know I love them all, but I'm partial to that top left corner (from 10 - 1).

Today is a day of many feelings.
.
I've learned this year to give myself permission to be a creature of duality.
.
We can jump for joy at the Inauguration today and mourn the 400k+ people we've lost this year.
.
We can be grateful for the extra family time that quarantine has enforced on us, while wanting to rip our hair out at having the kids in an enclosed space for so long (just me? 😆)
.
We can grieve the myriad of losses - emotional, physical and psychological while celebrating new routines and new friendships born out of social distancing.
.
We can look ahead with high hopes and still sorta keep our expectations low, be exhausted and appreciate the slowing down of our lives, love the community social media brings, and want to isolate under a blanket to knit the day away.
.
So give yourself permission to feel allllll the feels, whether it's sadness or guilt or anger or hope, joy or relief or anxiety or excitement. ... Just don't storm the Capitol. 😉
.
How are you feeling today?

Introducing the Ahorn Beanie, part of the @woolfol

Introducing the Ahorn Beanie, part of the @woolfolk_yarn Wool Elements IV. 🎉 Ever since the first time I touched a skein of @woolfolk Tov, it's been a dream to work with Woolfolk, so I'm ecstatic to be a part of this collection.

This beanie is inspired by the Conoid Chair, designed by George Nakashima. When you think about iconic chairs of the 20th century, you often think of Danish and other European designers. I wanted to base my design on George Nakashima, a Japanese American who learned and cultivated his art in the Japanese internment camps of World War II. His designs highlight his reverence for the wood he uses, with the belief that each piece gives the tree a second life. The Conoid Chair features clean lines and a cantilevered seat, with the cantilever concept echoed in the top of the chair back as well.

In the Ahorn Beanie, I sought to create my own cantilever motif in the double brim, while leaving the rest of the hat minimally simple. The piece is quick to make and easy to wear, while letting the yarn take the spotlight.

You can find the Ahorn Beanie on Ravelry, along with the other designs in Wool Elements IV. Swipe through to see my (tagged) testers' photos!

I feel like my entire life is one big "If You Give

I feel like my entire life is one big "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" saga.
.
We painted our living room white, which means the room is a lot brighter. So of course I wanted new plants. If I get new plants (I did. Many many of them), I need a place to put them. Pinterest told me I can turn an old stool into an end table with shelves, but unlike those projects, I can knit, which means I can knit a shelf instead of just wrapping twine around the footrests.
.
I used macrame cord and a knit linen stitch to create a tight woven fabric. The width is twice that of the space between the bars, since it will shrink when you pull it taut. You can see that the upper shelf doesn't extend the full width, because I did that one first and learned my lesson. Then I used kitchen twine and mattress stitch to pull the ends of the fabric tightly underneath the shelf.
.
This stool-turned-table is now part of a sunny little corner in the room, with enough space for a wip, a book, and a few small plants!

First, thank you so much for all your kind words o

I had been thinking about doing a #fridayintroduct

I had been thinking about doing a #fridayintroduction, and then, you know, 1/6/21 happened, and I shared things in my Stories, and and @knitatude shared her views on the world, which I thought was really smart, since those are things I'd like to know if I were a discerning consumer (admittedly, I'm not always), and 200 people unfollowed in 2 days, and I just want to say, ugh, GOOD. No matter how many followers I have, I can afford to lose some in order to keep my self-respect. I don't work hard to create content for people who cut and run when I say that the attempted destruction of democracy is a bad thing. 🙄
.
I like yarn, I like plants, I like food. I also believe in science and common sense and human decency and climate change. I have experienced racism from both sides, and absolutely acknowledge my own privilege. I believe in both God and evolution. I can feel disgust at world events and still post pretty pictures. I can complain about my kids and love them unconditionally. Hi, I'm ChiWei, and I'm a Gemini 😁👋🏼. It's taken me 40+ years, but I am finally acknowledging all that I am.
.
To those who are here, thank you for your support.❤️ If you decide you can't handle me expressing all aspects of my personality here, you can choose to scroll by or unfollow. But damn if I'm gonna change so I can sell an extra pattern or two. /rant
