Fiberuary challenge

Fiberuary challenge
I wanted to take the time to share my “fiberuary” fiber art challenge here on my blog! This was so fun!
​
1: Hi! I’m August Lee, also known as the Emerald Garden Girl! Im a kitchen homesteader, urban gardener, fiber artist, cook, writer, and Green Witch. I live my life with passion, and luxuriate in the everyday magic and minute details of our world.

2: A 2023 memory I’d like to share was winning two blue (first place) ribbons in the state fair, for two of my favorite entries—handspun garment, a gold headwarmer; and baby socks.

3: Looking forward to this year, I’m getting ready for a festival I will be vending at—the Women’s Homestead Society Festival at the end of April! I’m planning on having lots of artisanal handspun and hand dyed yarn available, as well as a few baby garments, some tallow products, quilt block garments, and fantasy chicken and embroidered sheep hats!
A week after the festival, I’ll have a big announcement during our celebration of The 150th running of The Kentucky Derby. It’s a project I’m bursting at the seams to share and am thrilled to be releasing it—Sooooo…. STAY TUNED!

4: Local yarn shop love: Over the Next Row Knits with Kate Ritter! Kate is amazing with getting people started knitting with her kits. She stocks a beautiful collection of yarns and has excellent taste to help you pick out the perfect wool, linen, or cotton yarn.

5: Monday Motivation: “busy people get more done” “choose your hard” and make a “done” list

6: Now and Then:
Early on in my yarn journey

And today!
