Waterlily Dreams, the first of my Summer Garden Mini Collection. Beautiful yarn inspired by the colours of a summer garden, capturing the vibrant essence of blooming flowers and lush greenery. Soft strands dyed in speckles of radiant floral hues. This collection evokes warmth and joy, reminiscent of sunny afternoons and gentle breezes. Its rich, natural palette invites creativity and each skein tells a story of nature’s quiet splendour.

Lizzie Bennet is the original Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl and you can’t change my mind.
“But there I was, in my heels with my hair straight / And so, I take him to this bar; this man wouldn't dance / He didn't ask a single question / And he was wearing these fugly jeans (Ew)
It doesn't matter though
He doesn't have what it takes to be
With a girl like me”

Darcy’s introduction in Pride and Prejudice is really ‘what if you had just had the worst month of your life because your ex-bestie tried to lover boy scam your baby sister out of her share of your dad’s life insurance and your friend dragged you to a shitty party in a dive bar in the neighbourhood where he’d just signed a short term lease, and you decided to let your bad mood show because you were never going to see any of the assholes in this stupid shitty bar EVER again. And your friend ended up making out with a girl he’d just met there while you were stuck talking to her sister who was less cute and then her mother appeared and started trying to matchmake and started saying how if she was twenty years younger she’d clime you like a redwood and ooooh is that a black Amex, guess the next round is on you hahhahahahaha, while her other sister (how many fucking sisters does she have?!) flashed an obviously fake ID at the bar and ordered six vodka-diet red bulls and no one in her family except the less-cute sister even tried to stop her. And you went home and consoled yourself that you would never see any of these people again but then you met them over and over again because they live next door and your friend and the cute sister keep meeting up to make out but not actually date and then. You fall in love with the less-cute sister because it turns out she’s really witty and charismatic but she already knows and remembers and resents the fact that on a day when you were in a shitty mood you called her mid out loud in a dive bar.’

yay i finished the vest i designed myself and it fits!!! exactly how i wanted it to!! omg!!!
also i know the marling and stripes aren't a good combination with the cables but 1) i don't care and 2) believe it or not i made this vest to de-stash so i was limited by the options i had (i held 3 strands of cashmere together.... never again) but next time i might make this pattern again with a single colour yarn
here are the charts in case anyone wonders:

they aren't full repeat charts but rather several repeats because optimising space on my notes wasn't a priority lol

New batches of Ginger Tabby Cat on both sock and DK. The lighter coloured version is still available on sock but there are only a couple left. Each dyelot is different and every skein unique, just like every feline friend. 🧶 mothyandthesquid.com

Brown and white cat, a dark chocolatey mix that is warmer than black at white, as many of our feline friends are when you snuggle closer. This yarn is of placid temperament but loves to be played with. It will never scratch you, being soft smooth merino, and is looking for a loving home where it can receive the attention it deserves.

Havana Brown cats are a rare and charming breed originating from England in the 1950s. They are known for their rich, mahogany-coloured coats and are playful, intelligent, and affectionate. Despite their rarity, you can adopt a skein today(!) 🐈‍⬛ mothyandthesquid.com

The Blackbird is a common sight in gardens and woodlands. They are glossy black with bright yellow beaks and are known for their melodic song and ground-foraging habits, feeding on insects, worms, and berries. Their nests are cup-shaped and made from grass, straw, and mud. The British Birds on Bluefaced Leicester is a limited edition collection for Spring. Mothyandthesquid.com
