The ship is definitely sinking here. Most of my followers are already on a private chat somewhere, but for my adoring public I'm on Insta as jkdellow. Haven't picked a Mastodon instance yet but I'm sure I'll late-adopt there eventually.

Fabric Friends, Sadly, Spool & Spindle will be closing the fabric portion of our business at the end of August (printing will continue.) Due to a combination of factors, both financial and personal, the shop can not continue in its current iteration. Check IG for all the deets

Sad news, our Xtracycle e-bike was stolen last night from our locked bike room in downtown Kitchener. If you see it around, let us know. This *was* our personal family vehicle so it's a pretty huge shock. @aliciacmah #cycleWR #Kitchener

On Christmas eve, we follow the tradition of opening a gift: a puzzle to do together. And on @spoolandspindle advent day 24, the new year starts early with cool 2022 labels!

Yes, I'm that person, at the shops on day 23 of @spoolandspindle advent. Colin and I don't get each other big presents, but we do fill stockings, and sometimes get some little things for each other or for us both. This one we ca pretend is a surprise!

When I play yarn chicken, I try to knit faster and watch the ball. On @spoolandspindle advent day 22, I lost. Twice. First, I only made it 7 of 10 pattern repeats. Then, 6 bind off stitches from the end, I ran out. Sigh. But the result is still a cowl, if not the indended one!

With holiday crafting done, I can finally return to selfish sewing too! For @spoolandspindle day 21, starting work on a Ness skirt in this lovely lightweight corduroy. It will be a great winter skirt, and I expect I will love it to the moon and back.

On @spoolandspindle day 20, I mailed the last semi-local present, so I get to go back to my pre-holiday knitting! Mary Martin gave a really good series of classes on her new technique for the @KWKnittersGuild, and I'm working on her Confluence cowl in super bright colours!

More baking for @spoolandspindle advent day 19, because holidays. Even with very few people to share my baking with, I still have the urge this time of year. I do not have a kitty sidekick, but Colin sometimes behaves like a cat. And he enjoys my baking!

On day 18, it snowed, yay! Now I need that yay label! Today's labels are pretty great too, but I feel like they missed a great opportunity for a rainbow.

It had to happen eventually, I missed a day (and nearly two) of @spoolandspindle advent! Catching up: on day 17 I dealt with tax and gov paperwork, which is enough work for anyone. The labels do not match my mood afterwards, since I was unable to get it all done.

I came home from work on @spoolandspindle advent day 16 to a fridge full of groceries, delicious turkey chili, and a glass of wine, all thanks to Best Husband(tm). Some days, it's nice not to have to make anything!

Day 15 of @spoolandspindle advent was pretty quiet, and neither of us felt like cooking, so dinner tonight was leftovers and grazing. I love a good charcuterie! Or even a small, basic one, made with love!

My last* knitted present is done**! No full picture in case the recipient sees it, but I think day 14 of @spoolandspindle advent is a success! And I'm wearing a me-made dress today, even if there's no party. *probably, there's time for more... **except buttons

We got some gingerbread syrup, so my festive treat for @spoolandspindle advent day 23 is a gingerbread latte with a linzer cookie! Yes, I ate half that cookie before I could get it posed for a photo in my office/craft room. So?

Moar cookies for @spoolandspindle advent day 12! Our production line plans to make sugar, gingerbread, and linzer cookies, with enthusiastic (if a little unskilled) decorations. And again, today's labels match my big dreams of cookie glory.

The labels for @spoolandspindle advent day 11 say "finished just in time," which seems just right for me! Today I picked up a Christmas present for myself, from another knitter's destash sale. Lovely lace that I plan to make into a lovely shawl!
