been dying up a TON of mini skeins. Anyone wanna personal swap?

After much deliberation I un-stuffed all my puffs and switched to hexi-flats.

It's actually not that hard to do, I just used my crochet hook to pull all the fluff out through one corner. Now I can puff wherever I go and not be held up by lack of polyfil.


And here are my easter puffs I knit today!

 :)Happy Easter Puffers!


knit up two puffs while overcoming a mild bout of food poisoning (not very festive) and realized the yarns were very easter-eggy.

Hope everyone is having a good one

I dyed more yarn and knit up some test puffs with it!




I love them!

received from freeli!


Tiny owl suggested the hook trick herself when I posed my problem on the raverly comments on the pattern.
Works like a charm!

I decided to make a pin board for all the awesome felt things out there for inspiration, and since i can't sleep I'm gonna add all the things to it.
