new project~ and a faded by my fav Cheryl Mokhtari 🌈🌈🌈

there’s one more in stock fluff set in the shop! i added a few more of the butterfly season fades yesterday, there’s only one of each base! and just one more fluff left which is needed to make gauge for either of these projects, if you wanted to make one too! once i finish mine, if there’s enough interest i may bring this fade back a small preorder! 🦋

love all things stripes and all things faded! can’t wait to show you more! 🦋🦋🦋

reorganize the stu day…lose my sh*t day 😝

maybe you feel me? lol
i literally left for vacation four hours after finishing the biggest collection *ever* (thank you!) and cleaned nothing- and then every single appliance in my house broke and they had to cut holes *everywhere*. anywho, it’s a mess. we don’t like it that way 😝

i missed the studio while i was gone. if you know me, you know i pretty much live here now 😅 it’s good to love your job. is there a too much??

new photo equipment to be installed. inventory for everything. work on an in stock update that will be a fundraiser to benefit a dear friend of 15 years who’s been failed by those supposed to protect her and her kids. all 5 kids home and fingers crossed baby naps well. cheers to the overhaul! 💜

a detail close up of the beautiful by 🩵

also isn’t it funny how lighting changes tone? this blue leans yellow toned here~ cozy warm lighting! if you’ve been here for a bit, you may know i don’t edit my colorway photos. i put lots of effort into the lighting to make it as accurate as possible~ but i don’t alter the photos~ i find it most accurate for you as the viewer this way. 🩵
my professional colorway photos are most true to tone, because the lighting is outdoor mimicking! coastal carolina is a beautiful ocean blue, with neutral undertones~ and right in the middle between a dusty colorway and a vibrant one. not too much, not too little. just perfect! 🌊🌊🌊

swatch party! 🌊 what do you think of this new blue!?

coastal carolina is a new perfect sea spray blue ~ shown here in my luxury merino mohair silk base! i knit the most beautiful summer tee on vacation! actually, the tee is so good i knit it twice, once in size 4 and once in size 3 because postpartum bodies are…erm….complicated 😅
this tee is full of stunning lacework that is quite easy to create but looks complicated ~ i can’t wait to show you more of my by the lovely .

‼️‼️‼️ i have room for 8 more advents and that’s all! there are more than 8 advents left in carts and i really don’t want you guys to miss out so here’s my fair warning! 🫶🏻

here’s the inspo! please don’t wait because it’s likely i will need to close preorders soon! hugs! 🤗

let’s chat more about the rainbow symphony color play! leave a comment if you have any questions on what it is or what it isn’t! these comments help everybody 💜

i’m so excited for the looping back fading in this advent~ daily version will be most like the inspo photos and the weekend will focus more on the deepest tones- since how it looks as a fabric is a top priority as the artist/dyer. but the first and last skeins will fade right back into eachother which gives you so much more flexibility in how you choose to work with it.

i’m stoked about these jewel tones, deep plum, rich sapphire, dark raspberry tones…mmmm so good! …but i can’t give away too much- the surprise is all the fun!
and the bag and markers i’ve made are GOR-GEOUS! it’s a whole thing, it’s perfect, i’m so proud, so excited, may actually burst….all the things lol

advent will be exclusive to advent participants for a period of time- and will not be available for custom orders! last year i ran a preorder for advent colorways in january but this year it will be dependent of when the rainbow symphony cardigan will be ready for public release! and that depends on my already existing dye schedule for next year~ so grab your advent and enjoy these exclusive colorways and experience! it’s my very best event of the year and this scheme is just *chefs kiss*. i can hardly express my excitement!! i’m 85% to my capacity (thank you so much for the love and orders!! y’all make my dreams come true!) so with that said- my goal is to keep the preorder running until the 19th! usually once the initial launch, orders slow so i feel hopeful anyone who wants one will be able to get theirs! you’ll be so glad you did! happy rainbow symphony! 🌈🌈🌈🌈

also if you’ve made it this far please interact with my content lol if no one interacts, instagram assumes it’s useless and shows it to nobody. which SUCKS. i even painted a whole painting that’s how passionate i am! so i have to ask 😅🤣😝

k love you bye!! 🌈

all the inspo~
🌈 just a little update that i’m happy to work with you guys and adjust my dye schedule if it helps you order your advent :) the preorder will now run until 7/19! i cannot extend it any further than this, though. i hope this is helpful for you if you’ve mentioned wanting an extension 🌈
i will mention i am at 80% capacity but *usually* that’s how my preorders go anyway, a large majority of orders are placed at the beginning! i can let you know if i get very close to closing it but i feel hopeful anyone who wants advent can get theirs!! it is certainly a treat and you’ll be so happy you did! 🌈🌈🌈

let’s chat differences and similarities between last years winter’s night advent and rainbow symphony, this years! :)

🌈ways they are the same-
•this years also fades from end to end and back again! full circle fading. love this! (this is just another reason my fades are a level up)
•you get another cutie project bag and set of handmade markers, both made of high quality materials because i don’t believe in an advent filled with junk. useful goodies only!
•skeins are dyed similarly to last years in terms of technique- with a beautifully fading fabric in mind, but in all new colors in an all new palette based of my all original painting!
•each skein or set is individually wrapped like a neat little gift to treat yourself with every day it’s time to open one!

🌈ways they are different-
•this advent has more yardage in both options, so rest assured it’ll fit most all patterns in any size!
•the daily advent, and even weekends, has significantly more color play! more opportunity for joy, more opportunity for a fun opening experience, tailored perfectly for all makers but particularly those with a deep love of color!
•this year i have hopes to do vlogmas on youtube to open it along with you! this one is likely, but is a hobby for me so we’ll see :)
•i’m working on a pattern made specifically for this advent that fits both versions! my most common question is “how do i fade”- all questions answered there! and, it’s super easy!
•shimmering iridescence base is available for both versions! experience the wonder!

i’m a firm believer in my skills and my ability to tailor a wonderful experience. my opinion is that my advent is one of the best ones in the industry. my customers have told me it’s the best advent they have experienced. i’m so grateful to those who have already placed their order and still have room to make more, and i’d love to have you for rainbow symphony! this is the only preorder for this advent, and it’s open now until 7/12! happy holidays!! and don’t miss out!! 🌈🌈🌈
