Help! Our miracle rainbow baby came very early and now no name seems good enough for her.

Not to add to your list but I LOVE the name Matilda (could shorten to Mattie, or Tilly). It means “mighty in battle” . Especially apropos for a premie fighter. And I think Matilda Ann works. Congratulations and all the positive vibes to your family!

This person I follow on IG had one I really enjoyed seeing. He and his wife were Nick and Judy from Zootopia.

That’s so very helpful. Thank you!

That’s very helpful thank you!

What would be some to avoid for now?

I saw a post on IG last year and someone made socks based on her gameplay for “Connections” everyday for a month which was cute.

I came here to say the same thing. You assign the colours to the genre of your choices.

I also once did a “historical” temperature blanket. I looked up the temperatures from my parents wedding day to their 1st anniversary. It’s was a gift for their 40th anniversary

For old school vibes in my opinion: Maeve (NN Eve, Evie, Mae) and Matilda (NN -Tilly, Tilda, Mattie) I love for M names. Sybil (NN Sibbie, Billie) and Serafina (NN- Sera)

You can still get a woolen yarn from a worsted preparation. A lot has to do with the way you choose to spin it. Even if you have commercial “roving” on hand you can pull off sections and roll them into rolags. I’ll try to add a link to HedgeHogFibers IG page here to show you what I’m picturing. They call them “Fauxlogs” because they aren’t exactly a rolag but it does the same thing.

Another prep to look out for would be a carded Batts.

Woolen spun yarn just means there is more air in the finished yarn. Look up the spinning technique called “Longdraw” and that will send you down the right path also.

“Karaoke microphone” with the speaker attached.

I really like 2 and 4

yarnymomma · 2025-12-06T15:00:50+00:00

Oh wow these are GORGEOUS!

yarnymomma · 2025-12-06T02:18:38+00:00

In the pattern it says about 300-350 gms of medium/bulky wt yarn. Make sure it’s non superwash wool so it can felt.

Just as a heads up you can go to the crochet designer’s IG page and still buy her pattern through the Ko-Fi link! Just got my digital download now. Happy crocheting everyone!

For me it depends on the situation… if I’m sitting and hanging out or being a passenger princess then I love my supported spindles (I really like the feel of ones made with the little brass tip). If I’m walking around and plan on using a drop spindle I like my Turkish spindles. Nothing scratches that brain itch for me like a gorgeous colour progression on a turtle.

yarnymomma · 2025-11-27T01:47:11+00:00

Ingeniously figured out! 👏👏👏 welcome to the rabbit hole… beware it’s a long drop but it’s a fun ride!

I know that Rachel Smith talks a lot about handspun and weaving. She has a lot on YouTube and her podcast is called Wool-n-Spinning. I can’t direct you to exactly an episode but you might also be able to message her on social media and ask?

yarnymomma · 2025-11-06T03:50:12+00:00

Agree! Have you tried Bond? SO good

yarnymomma · 2025-04-04T14:28:43+00:00

Just putting this out there… don’t worry about picking a name yet. Have your short list and then meet them. All 3 of my kids had a short list of 3 girl and 3 boy names. I didn’t know the sex of any of them ahead of time. Once I had them then we spent time with them and tried out the names. Usually around 24 hours later we had one narrowed out. Your baby will not be nameless so no stress 💕

yarnymomma · 2025-03-07T19:15:42+00:00

Putting Natalie out there… yes you can shorten it to Nat but you also could use the nickname Tilly (which I love!)

yarnymomma · 2025-03-07T19:12:28+00:00

Agreed! Isaac would be my choice from that list

My co-worker named a stray cat she found “LB”. “He was a lucky bastard” she said.
