I told you there were exciting things brewing... but I bet you didn’t take that literally. 🤩🧶
I’m incredibly excited to give you a sneak peak of my new yarn line ! No combination of colors is too bright or crazy, and EVERY COLORWAY WILL HAVE A BULKY/ SUPER BULKY OPTION. The end.
Throughout my Fibre journey I feel like I’ve settled when it comes to colors - nothing has ever been bright enough or extreme enough justify the 💰, so like most creatives, I decided to try it myself. 🤪
This week I’m launching THREE color ways - Stingy Gnome (featured), Unicorn P**p, and Melted Twizzler and I’m so freaking excited to swatch these out and debut them at the ! (peep my stories for more sneak peeks!)
Can’t wait to see what you make!

I just restocked every hat, scrunchie, pompom and cowl JUST in time for the and ... and did I mention these ADORBS hooks?!? I have FOUR available at the merc tomorrow night or via DM here... lots of fun new surprises to come! ☺️
Remember when (24 hours ago) you could walk outside with just a flannel on? Well, guess who’s baaaaack?!❄️☃️❄️
While I loved the few warm days we had, the skier in me is praying for snow. 🙏🏻 I’m not ready to put away all my knit goodies and there’s so much more to make.
I just restocked these cowls in all the colors at the and they are a MUST BUY if you plan on surviving the remainder of winter. A few of the colors are discontinued, so hurry over to the Merc on Wednesday or slide into my DMs before they’re gone? 😏😏
REALLY excited about this new colorway for the ! Made from 100% Peruvian Merino wool, you’ll be so warm trekking through the or that you’ll thank me later. It’s so soft and cozy, but my favorite part is how PERFECT the gray on gray Pom hat combo looks 😍.
There are TWO of these available at the opening back up this Wednesday, so go pick one up!
2020 - about to the the GOAT 🍾🐐🤩
But actually... I took a little hiatus from social to crank out some last min orders and reflect on 2019 which looking back, was insane...
I hit my revenue goal, got AChickWithStix in a store, started a new website and honed in my product line so I was literally only making things I enjoyed for the first time in a long time (with a few exceptions 😉).
I have so many big (and new!) ideas for 2020 that I can’t wait to share with you... you’re just going to have to stay tuned to find out!
There are SEVEN days left to get your Pom on for Christmas!! 🎅🏼🤶🏻Luckily, we’re fully stocked with but there is only ONE in this color! Head on over to the to pick it up. 😉
This holiday season is kicking my butt 😅 but we’re almost there!
This is the schedule for these last two weeks leading up to the big day! Notably - were open Monday and Tuesday (we’re typically closed) and staying LATE!
My booth is looking prettttty empty right now 😫 but that means y’all have been busy shopping! Expect a refresh this THURSDAY when I’ll be working at the merc (I’ll be there Thursday and Friday). See you there!
Don’t leave home this weekend without your goods!! They’re warm, super soft and most importantly, Insanely cute.
Check my girl rockin’ the with a grey on grey Pom combo... I’m OBSESSED. 😍😍

Looking for a last minute gift idea for the maker in your life? These project bags are sure to bring a little LOL to your holiday celebrations!
There are a TON of different designs available on and some exclusive sayings at the ! AND they are the perfect size for your next !
Someone PLZ help me look this cute in the ... 😍🔥😍
It’s time to break down the messy bun hat...
I’m gonna be straight with you right now, if you don’t have one of these right now, head to the and purchase one IMMEDIATELY.
This is a MUST HAVE if you are a living breathing human who has hair and walks outside in the winter. I call it my “grocery store hat” because you can literally find me every week in the grocery store with this on.
No need to wash your hair to look cute (you got this) just put your hair in a bun or pony and pull it through the top of the hat. My hats also have a built in pony for those with SUPER thick hair (girllll I gotchu).
If you have pics in my messy bun hats, PLEASE SHARE! Would love to see your fab locks. 😍
❄️👶🏼 💕
OH BABY these headbands are cute ... and after selling out ALL SIX colorways in last weekend, there is a new batch of adorably cozy nugget goodies ready for you to purchase at the opening back up for shoppers tomorrow!
Schenectady is looking pretty festive with all this snow... it could be the perfect time to trek on over and check out all of the wonderful makers that call home! 💕
❄️☃️❄️
I wrote out a nice long post a few hours ago making cute jokes about the blizzard until Owen runs into my office to let me know there’s a snow emergency and is towing cars on our street. 🤬🤬 Three hours of pushing cars up my road and a $100 ticket later my entire body is frozen but my head is nice and toasty since I was wearing this gem. My luxe line is made from 100% Peruvian Merino Wool and is perfect for cute winter nights out on the town or shoveling an entire street out of a blizzard while cursing Mother Nature.
These are NOT listed on Etsy, but can be found at the (including the infamous ) or purchased directly from here (slide into my DMs) or email me ([email protected]).
I have one (maybe two) of these left in a variety of colors, but my re-stash of this yarn probably won’t be here by Xmas 😫 so place you’re orders soon!!
Stay safe (and warm!) all my New York friends - don’t get towed!💕
was a success!! Thank you so, SO much to everyone who decided to walk the extra mile, spend the extra dollar and make an insane amount of small business owners smile this weekend, including myself!!
Special shoutout to my incredible family who helped me load, unload, build, shop, find “lost” items (lol ) and most importantly SELL ( is the most badass salesperson ever) my goodies this past year and Owen for dealing with the yarn explosion that has been our house. (Can’t wait to clean up today!)
Just a reminder though, shopping small doesn’t stop here. November and December are the months that make or break us, so when you’re running out for that last minute gift or need something special for that special someone, please please PLEASE consider shopping small and giving back to your community!
I’ll be stopping by the merc at some point today to restock what I didn’t sell yesterday (it’s not a lot! 😅) so come say hi and I can’t WAIT to see you wear all your cozy goodies! ❤️
Guess who found a few of these bad boys lying around her house?!? Its hard to believe you can “lose” a massive blanket like this... but when you knit so much and hide things in closets, you’d be surprised. 😅
I have THREE arm knit blankets left - one mushroom pink (featured), one gray and one teal. These blankets are GORGEOUS, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
I’m planning on bringing all three to the this Saturday, but let me know in the comments if you think I should bring one to the !
Lastly, how 🔥 is my girl in this photo... 😍
It’s pretty hard to believe that after all of that craziness of the weekend (awesome craziness might I add) that is right around the corner!
I’m asking you to with me this Saturday at the and ... or really any of your locally owned businesses!
Skip Dunkin’ or Starbucks and hit up your local coffee shop, check out that local shop you told yourself you’ve always wanted to go into, and bring a friend! For every dollar spent locally, approx. 67 cents stays in the community - plus someone like me does a real happy dance!! 😬😍
Where are you shopping small this weekend? And what can I make for you at my show in Saratoga?!? 😅 y’all cleaned me out this weekend so we’re starting fresh!!
Eeek it’s almost time! It’s been such a madhouse prepping for this weekend that Instagram has fallen to the wayside 😅 but have no fear! We’re ready for some serious coziness at ‘s this weekend!!

Brave the polar vortex and come check out the one year anniversary / Christmas party this weekend! I’ll be there setting up some new goodies tonight. 🤗
ALSO - don’t forget to save your spot in my crochet scrunchie workshop tomorrow night!! There are only a few spots left!
I'm not sure if you've peeped my instagram (https://www.instagram.com/achickwithstix/) but if you haven't, I just posted two ADORABLE that you MUST get your hands on this weekend at the Clinton Street Mercantile Holiday Party ...
To summarize Instagram, I am not a huge fan of making kids hats because 1. I don't have kids and 2. I hate making things that potentially won't sell and I'll have to store in a crate all year round (cue small violin).
SO, with that being said, I couldn't help but make these adorable hats, and I have TWO of these, one baby/ one toddler size, in a few different colors coming with me this weekend (White, Pink, Blue, Brown, Gray, Black) and once they are gone THEY WILL BE GONE!
See you there!
