Just wanted to send a heads up that Western Sky Knits is stocking today on their Hyena Cart. They have some lovely handpainted BFL, organic Merino, Targhee, Cestari Merino, and Purewool today. Posy on Gaia Organic Merino is my personal favorite in this stocking. Beautiful job Leidy!
The stocking is at 6 p.m. EST today. If you don’t have an account to buy things on Hyena Cart yet, I did an register tutorial that should help you out.

I’m so excited to be a part of the Zenstring Benefit stocking. I would like to share the item that I knit. I’m so tempted to bid on it myself
Using Lotus Toes Sportweight in Angelina’s ‘Secret Garden’ colorway I am contributing a pair of socks:

I still need to finish the second sock, but rest assured it will be finished by the auction’s end. Please check out the other beautiful items up for bid too. There is handspun, hats, longies, soakers, retired colorway yarns, and more. All proceeds will go directly to Angelina to help her get her yarn business up and running again. Thank you!

In anticipation of the Tiny Lady Cooperative Zen String benefit stocking that begins tomorrow, I decided to do a little tutorial on how to register an account with Hyena Cart. It isn’t that difficult and only takes a few minutes to do.

I just wanted to give a heads up that there will be a stocking on Hyenacart next week to help bring Zenstring back. Angelina has had a rough go of things in the last 4 months (has it been that long?) and some crafty people have banded together to make things a bit easier for her.
Tiny Lady Cooperative is hosting an auction of Zenstring yarn, handspun, and finished items, with all proceeds going directly to Angelina. I am happy to report that I am busy knitting something for this and can’t wait to get it listed.
Angelina’s yarns and colorways have given me such joy. I love to knit with her creations. I just want to give back in a tiny way by sending some joy her way. I hope that you will join me by bidding high and often

Drove home today after my daughter’s end of the year school picnic to find a priority mailbox on my front porch. That means it is once again time for the Woolgirl Sock Club! Yay! I’ve included a picture and description below. Don’t click unless you want a spoiler.

In case you need some tempting:

Good thing I just turned the heel on my second Gluttony sock, as the second shipment in the Seven Deadly S(p)ins Club arrived today. I had no idea what the sin might be or what the kit would contain, as I have stayed away from spoilers. Click the link if you want to be spoiled.

Angelina, the hard working mom behind Zenstring, has recently moved across several states. They are still searching for a home for their family and to help make that happen, she has opened up custom slots. This is very rare for her to do so. My advice is to run and grab some up! I know Angelina and her family will appreciate it.
