I have been knitting so much since my little hiatus on dyeing yarn. I finished a pair of socks yesterday, a belated holiday gift (better late than never). My Cloudbreak Shawl is off the needles despite a long pause when I ran out of yarn. I need to block it but can’t stop wearing it […] The post The Knitting Continues appeared first on Tributary Yarns & This Knitted Life ..read more

In case you haven’t already heard the big news… After five years of dyeing yarn during any and every free moment, I have decided to transition away from Tributary Yarns and leave this tiny but mighty indie yarn label in the capable hands of my dear friend Sunni. Sunni owns and operates our local yarn […] The post The Next Chapter for Tributary Yarns appeared first on Tributary Yarns & This Knitted Life ..read more

The October Color of the Month on Stream Sock is ready to go! Meet Marigold. Pumpkin orange lightly speckled with deep purple and saffron. Slight specks of blue hidden throughout. These skeins are dyed and ready to ship. The coupon code for free shipping has been repaired (I hope).

It is bad that I call it a win if I post my monthly color before the middle of the month? Have my standards fallen too low? Do I need to reconsider my compass for business success (probably, yes)? This month’s color is called South Jetty and is available on Stream Sock as well as […] The post September Color of the Month + Dispatch appeared first on Tributary Yarns & This Knitted Life ..read more

Now that we’re halfway through August, I’d like to share the August Color of the Month, Hummingbird. This colorway is available on my Stream Sock base and can be dyed on other bases upon request. This is the perfect colorway to transition from late summer into those warm-toned fall knits. There’s even a splash of […] The post August Color of the Month – Hummingbird appeared first on Tributary Yarns & This Knitted Life ..read more

Holy halfway through summer. I took my sock camping recently and let Reed come too since he agreed to sit next to the yarn in the car. We traipsed halfway across the state, just the two of us. It’s quite the phenomena to spend a week entirely alone with your child – just one adult […] The post July Knit Dispatch appeared first on Tributary Yarns & This Knitted Life ..read more

July’s Color of the Month on Stream Sock is called Helena, named after a tiny town (okay, four buildings) on the North Fork Trinity River. The water there is so cold and clear, and really reminds me of these skeins. Baltic blues in the deeper pools, brighter blue on the shallow margins. Splashes of sunlight […] The post July Color of the Month – Helena appeared first on Tributary Yarns & This Knitted Life ..read more

It’s officially that time of year where I wander from swimming hole to swimming hole, toting my knitting along for the ride, and snapping odd pics (that give me great joy) of my current projects in the middle of nowhere, river included. Chaise lounge. Check. Sunscreen. Check. Snacks and drinks. Definitely check. Book. Triple check.

June’s Color of the Month is called Albee Creek, named after a recent hike I loved in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. These skeins boast layers of jewel toned magenta, turquoise, and eggplants toned with marine blues and greens. A little wild and a little earthy. Some might call that balanced. I’m quite fond of this […] The post June Color of the Month + Knit Dispatch appeared first on Tributary Yarns & This Knitted Life ..read more

I am sure you were worried when I reported I hadn’t been knitting much, abandoning my primary craft for cross stitching of all things. I was also concerned. Nevertheless. After a couple of months of making miniscule x’s over and over again, hunched over a magnifying light on my sofa with a permanent ache in […] The post I Picked Up My Needles Again appeared first on Tributary Yarns & This Knitted Life ..read more
