Flock Fiber Fest, Mount Rainier Wildflower Bubble Bandana And Wafflecakes – Must Hike Must Eat

Properly, tickets for Flock Fiber Fest are on sale once more! That is the fourth 12 months for the pageant in Seattle and I’m trying ahead to a different 12 months. I don’t assume I’ve any pals flying in as in previous years so it should simply be native pals however they aren’t as dangerous of enablers so possibly I’ll save somewhat cash. I’m attempting to maintain my stash down, or so I say.

One of many issues I’ve liked about my knitting in the previous couple of years is mixing it with different issues I really like, like the outside. After I noticed these colorways on the pageant in 2024, I simply needed to have them. My pals and I had determined to knit the identical sample and our aim was to search out 5 minis that may very well be used. I had thought I’d be in search of minis at a wide range of distributors however as soon as I noticed these, it was a accomplished deal.

The dyer is Hailey Bailey of Salem, Oregon and her yarns are stuffed with colorways impressed by nature.

She even added footage of the flowers she used for inspiration!

The sample was the Bubble Bandana by Stephen West and all of us agreed that we REALLY hate the bubble sew (and so many ends to weave in).

Fortunately this was a small mission and I might tuck the ends into the I-cord edges as I went.

Strive as I might, it was nonetheless somewhat rolly after blocking.

However it’s so enjoyable to put on as a pop of colour with outfits!

Right here’s a pic of final 12 months’s knit together with minis bought at Flock, one other sew all of us agreed we didn’t must do once more. In reality, the one that steered the sample gave up with out ending. I’m glad I completed as a result of it turned out so enjoyable however undoubtedly received’t be a repeat mission. The minis match the speckles in the primary colour, Wafflecakes by Lolabean Yarn Co.
