Things I love: 🧶 Knitting 🐈 Cats 📊 Excel 🍷 Wine 👩‍💻 Blogging at PepperKnits.com 🖖 Star Trek 🧛‍♂️ Buffy ❤️ Life!!! Pronouns: She/Her

Three clear vinyl zipper bags with yarn and knitting projects or notions inside. The largest in the back was packaging from a sheet set. The other large one with the black handle I got at knit picks many years ago and it wasn’t cheap! But I love it! The case in the front that has my notions came free with a bunch of makeup samples once.
A somewhat messy corner of a room with a printer, and a small stack of papers and knitting bag on a table. On the wall are three decorative wood sock blockers to the right is an IKEA wood cube shelf thingie with knitting stuff on top and there is a painting of a blue cat licking an ice cream
Hand-knitted peach variegated socks stretched on wooden blockers with a matching yarn ball and knitting needles, showing a sock-making project in progress on a weathered wooden tabletop. The sock blockers are stained a medium brown color and have an all-over honeycomb cutout with a bee cutout right at the toe. I had this set of blockers custom-stained. If you shop for them on MlynJedrow.etsy.com, they will be in the standard light birch color.

Two hands holding a deep red/burgundy/magenta skein of yarn and I'm wearing glittery red, white and blue nail wraps with stars. There is a grey-blue and white table runner in the background, which was mostly a coincidence, but it totally matches the vibe. Nail wraps are by Lily and Fox and the yarn is Hedgehog Fibres Sock in Merlot.
Close-up comparison of two pink and black striped knitting swatches. The left swatch uses two single-ply yarns, while the right swatch uses a plied black yarn with a single-ply pink yarn, creating a visible difference in sheen and texture. A white outlined box in the center zooms in on the right swatch, showing the contrast between the smoother, shinier plied black yarn and the softer-looking single-ply pink yarn.
Four hand-knit scrunchies arranged on a gray textured surface. Each scrunchie is made from knitted fabric gathered into a circle. The colors include dark teal, speckled gray with bright flecks, cream with pastel speckles, and a striped scrunchie in peach, mint, cream, and purple tones.

A yellow haired troll doll in a handknit sweater knitted out of aqua sparkle sock yarn. It's a stockinette swearer with ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem. It comes down almost to his feet... enough to keep his little behind warm! :)

Two partially knitted rainbow-striped sock cuffs on needles with matching multicolored yarn balls and loose strands arranged on a dark marble surface. The sock on the left starts with a purple stripe and the sock on the right starts with a blue stripe. I did this intentionally because I thought it might look cool, but it doesn't. I hate it... 😭

The project is knit in Knit Picks Lindy Chain in Blush and is still on circular needles, with wood needle tips at the upper right and a small matching ball of yarn above the work. The top has a loose, drapey fabric with stockinette sections, ribbing near the lower edge, and an eyelet motif in the center. The piece is about 10'' long.

Close-up of a crocheted owl motif pinned flat on a light gray surface with bobby pins. The motif has a blue and purple center, red and orange rows, and a cream outer section. The front edge closest to the camera is missing the raised ridge that should have formed from crocheting into the back loop only. Pattern is Owl Obsession and yarn is Knit Picks Chroma.
Three crocheted owl motifs are laid flat on a light cement surface using bobby pins as stitch markers at each point around the octagon edges. Each motif has a cream outer section and a bright multicolor center, with one in blue and purple, one in orange and pink, and one in teal, purple, and coral. Pattern is Owl Obsession and yarn is Knit Picks Chroma.
A person wearing handknit socks made with White Birch Fiber Arts self-striping sock yarn in a very old colorway called May the Odds Be Ever on Your Favor. The socks have narrow stripes in light blue-gray, pink, purple, yellow, and orange, and are worn with dark jeans on a light carpet. The photo has a cozy dark vignette effect.
An indoor photo of a smiling woman standing in a hallway, wearing a handknit short-sleeved sweater with wide horizontal gray and dusty pink stripes. The sweater has a wide ribbed neckline that sits off the shoulders, ribbed sleeve cuffs, and a ribbed hem. It is a tunic length, which is a dead giveaway this was knitted circa 2007... :wink: She has shoulder-length curly red hair, dangling earrings, dark pants, and a watch. The background shows a beige wall with a small hanging mirror, white trim, carpet, and an open doorway.

It's all on a light concrete surace.
A very beautiful and talented woman is smiling as she models the Hope Tee, a short-sleeved knitted top made with Knit Picks Shine Sport yarn in French Blue. The top has horizontal rows of eyelet details across the front and ribbing at the hem. The background is slightly blurred, but she's standing in front of a pretty dope gallery wall with a lot of eclectic frames, including a very cool illustration of Buffy the Vampire Slayer from Karen Hallion's She Series. :)

A bright yellow, sparkly skein of hand-dyed yarn lies on a white surface alongside small knitting accessories and tags. A label reads “Highland Handmades” with the colorway name “Serpens.” Nearby are stitch markers, a “Handmade with Love” tag, and a small business card from Capt. Black Fiber Co. A handwritten thank-you note addressed to Pepper is tucked beneath, expressing appreciation and sharing that the yarn is inspired by constellations and supports women’s missions.
