Musk ox! Oomingmak!

These beautiful, bearded beasts are the source of that incredibly luscious, warm qiviut fiber.

I crocheted a qiviut beret just in time for the annual “OXtoberfest” at the Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, Alaska, on Saturday. 🧶🦬

It was a typical blustery day in the Valley, but a little wind never thwarts outdoor adventures for hearty Alaskans—especially when you have qiviut to keep you warm!

And as you can see, the musk ox LOVED every bit of that chilly, blustery weather! 🏔️🌬️

There’s just something pretty special about creating with a fiber that comes from these magnificent Alaska animals.

Just a little Autumn glory to let you know I’ve been stitching away, but I’ve also been spending plenty of time outside soaking up this beautiful Alaskan golden weather. 🍁☀️

Soon, I’ll be heading to Ohio to enjoy what I like to call “Second Autumn.” There’s just something special about getting to experience fall twice! 🍂

Oh, and Vino has decided she aspires to be the lead dog someday. 🐾😂

Truth be told… she’s always my lead dog. 🐶

Vino’s 8th birthday is coming up next week (Sep 23rd) so I decided to crochet her this autumn-themed sweater in preparation for the cooler temps ahead.
Isn’t she just the prettiest pup? 🐶 🐾❤️

This little pumpkin set is off to GA! I know it’s been hot (in the lower 48), but this is bringing the Autumn vibes…and hopefully temps too. 🍁 🎃

💜 1 Purple, 3 Blues, 1 Red & 1 White! ❤️🤍💙
Alaska State Fair ribbons!

This year, I was a first-time exhibitor and decided to take a chance and enter five different crochet pieces in five different classes: a blanket/afghan, cardigan, wrap/shawl, baby set, and amigurumi.

And… ALL FIVE are ribbon winners!

That gorgeous blanket, made from a pattern by Jane Crowfoot @ JANIE CROW even brought home a purple ribbon — Division Winner! 💜🏆

I have to admit, I feel both humbled and incredibly honored to have my work recognized alongside so much amazing talent. There are some seriously talented makers in this great state.

And speaking of talent… just look at that gorgeous lace shawl made by a 15-year-old! 😳👏🏻 Absolutely WOW. The talent and dedication of some of these young exhibitors is truly inspiring.

I met up with friends at the fair on Saturday, and I believe it was an attendance-record day. It was definitely plenty of fun in the sun… accompanied by a healthy dose of fair-food indulgence!

What a fun experience for my first year exhibiting. I’m already looking forward to next year! 🧶❤️
