    Really adorable mug! Could you please tell me what the finished size is for the mug? And, did you sew or glue on the ribbon loop hanger, thanks! You do really beautiful work! I am a crocheter, but the knit ornaments are beautiful as well! :)

      Hi Jerilyn! The mug is 1.5 inches tall, minus the ribbon I added for hanging. I sewed the ribbon on with quilting thread, but hot glue would totally work too – these ornaments are very light since they’re just yarn and stuffing! Happy holidays :)

“You’re telling me words can be pronounced in “You’re telling me words can be pronounced in different ways and mean the same things?!” 👀 Posting this here, just to make it clear: when anyone says skayne, skeen, or skyne, it can be safely assumed we’re talking about a bundle o’ yarn,  a SKEIN. It’s not necessary to shame someone for using a word that is known to have MULTIPLE common pronunciations. 🧶
.
.
Can you plz comment sharing how you say SKEIN and where you learned it? The OED happens to say SKAYNE, but it’s not a personal attack if someone says SKEEN and you say SKYNE or even Saskatoon. I’m legitimately curious. We don’t all knit or crochet the same way, and craft evolves a bit like language - it is passed on. There is so much value in having conversations about & embracing these variations! ✌🏻

Here’s the latest mediocre-but-improving result of my slow quest to learn to set vintage inspired curls. 💇🏼‍♀️ I’m hoping to be able to wash my hair less using a regular vintage set, but we’ll see if it ends up being practical. 😆 Hair frustrates me so much more than crafts!
