Hayseed Hopes

Handcrafted products from my heart to yours. I am beginning with project bags & hope to bring more in the future. I am located in North Pole, Alaska.

I am hopeful to a fault; I believe every struggle has a transformative power.

I love this pattern and it makes me envision a sunny day at the beach with the surf and waves. Just imagine the sun sparkling off the water and the waves lapping at your toes. Yup. This shawl brought the mood of summer to me even when it didn't feel like summer here! 🌧️

Pattern: Siren Song by .myrtle
Yarn: Blue is by in Blue Tourmaline
The speckled yarn is from in Looking for Sea glass

Another project to share! This was a sample knit for .co in her Pour-over colorway along with her Mimi colorway (purple).

I truly consider it an honor to knit samples for yarn dyers. I think yarn dyers are such unique artists that give us Knitters so much inspiration and creative options!

I'm thankful for you creative yarn dyers out there and that I get the privilege to work with!

This has been completed for quite some time. But.... I've been taking a break from social media over here for a bit. It's been good for me. I'm trying to reevaluate what my time will look like over here and I don't quite have the answer yet.

There have been some changes in my life over the last few months and I have yet to see how all things will settle.

If interested in purchasing, message me. I'm also reevaluating where Etsy fits in my life and frankly the hassle feels like, well, a hassle.

I don't mean this post to sound like a downer. Life is good - I just don't know how to make a healthy pocket of time for IG at this moment. Ya know? Have you been here?

Ok where are my knitting fans?

I really want to knit this shawl and in these colors but I am struggling to justify the purchase RIGHT NOW.

So, if anyone wants me to knit it for them THEN I can justify the purchase and will excitedly cast on the moment the yarn arrives.

The only catch is it's going to be about $275-300 as a finished project given the yarn and yardage.

Any takers????

I do believe this is the new Alaskan staple. I mean, if you don't have a halibut cowl, are you even a true Alaskan??? I jest, of course. But I absolutely love how it turned out with these colors!

And, yes, it will be available at the Procrastinators Bazaar on December 17th.

This is my Shift cowl by only I used worsted weight yarn. 1, because that's what I had and, 2, it's Alaska... The extra weight and bulk is a welcomed snuggle in the cold!

I used Homestead Worsted in Lullaby, Space Suit, and Ghost Town.
