etsy : snow berry and lime
the sun is setting at 6:15pm and it’s getting chillier daily. soon, very soon, it’ll be too dark and cold to do much outdoors, and knitting season officially begins… even now, it’s hard to walk by a skein of yarn without envisioning a hat, scarf, or sweater.
here’s some knitting eye candy from etsy seller snow berry and lime: soy silk handspun vegan yarn. the fiber is a by-product of the tofu making process. seriously! isn’t it beautiful? i am really curious to see what it feels like. i haven’t placed an order yet, but if i do, i’ll post a full report.

I knit a vest for my mom out of soysilk. It was lovely. Soft and drapey. I figure that my family consumes enough tofu to produce many skeins of soysilk as a by-product.

Well I never…..that is amazing, fiber from the tofu making process. It does have a lovely sheen and looks silky!
And I’m just curious are you shifting the blame to the bored teenagers smashing the pumpkins. It’s not your secret inner rebel girl now is it?
