There is something powerful about transformation. About the way a story shifts depending on who is telling it. About the way a single figure can be feared, revered, misunderstood, and mythologized all at once.

Mortal, Maiden, Mistress, Monster was born from that tension.

This colorway coils through deep emerald and shadowed pine, flashes of cool jade and shifting teal, and ribbons of rich golden yellow that glow against the green. Veins of shadowed moss and inky undertones wind their way through the skein, lending a layered complexity that feels alive and ever moving. The overall effect is serpentine, like scales catching the light as something ancient and watchful moves through tall grass. It is vibrant without being soft. Lush without being gentle. Beautiful with a dangerous edge.

Mortal, Maiden, Mistress, Monster will be available on two bases:

DK weight – 100% Superwash Merino wool
Soft and versatile, this base allows the layered greens and yellows to bloom beautifully in garments and accessories alike.

Fingering weight – 60/20/20 Superwash Merino wool / alpaca / nylon
This blend offers drape, strength, and a subtle halo from the alpaca. The added depth of this base enhances the darker undertones and gives the colorway an almost living dimension.

This new release will go live in the Crafter Gamer Geek shop on Friday, February 13th.

I cannot wait to see how you interpret this one. Will you lean into the mortal? The maiden? The mistress? Or the monster?

However you choose to tell the story, I know it will be unforgettable.

Wednesday, January 28th marks Crafter Gamer Geek’s fourth Anniversary, and I honestly can’t believe how quickly the time has flown. What started as a creative outlet has grown into something deeply meaningful, and I’m so grateful to everyone who has supported, encouraged, and shared in this journey with me.

To celebrate four years of dyeing, dreaming, and creating, I’m releasing several brand-new colorways, including two new gacha sets and a small, cohesive collection of variegated and semisolid yarns inspired by a quiet moment that caught me by surprise.

New Gacha Sets

Gacha sets have become one of my favorite ways to explore color. Each set includes one 115g skein and one 25g mini skein dyed on my 80/20 Superwash Merino wool/nylon base. They’re fantastic for socks or any accessories where a playful blending of colors can take center stage.

The Lightkeeper in the Lantern presents the light and shadow of a swirling storm with a haunting yellow mini skein for some extra drama.

Machine Oil, Metal & Krumkakes feels both mechanical and familiar, blending polished metal tones with splashes of cozy cheerful comfort.

New Individual Variegated & Semisolid Colorways

For this release, I stepped away from my usual inspiration sources of games and anime. Instead, these four colorways were inspired by a photograph of an evening skyline in November, capturing that fleeting moment where daylight fades, colors soften, and everything feels still.

Twilight Into Winter – This variegated colorway captures that quiet transition perfectly. Bright and pale yellows flicker like the last traces of sunlight, while multiple shades of gray settle in like gathering dusk. A muted, wintry blue weaves through it all, cooling the palette and anchoring the warmth. The result is layered, atmospheric, and gently dramatic.

Diminishing – A soft, fading yellow that echoes the final glow of daylight just before it disappears below the horizon. It’s subtle, warm, and understated.

Eventide – A calm, misty gray that reflects the quiet calm of evening air. This shade is versatile and grounding, making it an ideal neutral that still carries depth and emotion.

Frost – Cool and delicate, this pale blue feels like the first hint of winter settling in. It’s crisp but gentle, bringing a breath of cold air to the collection without feeling stark.

These four colorways are designed to work beautifully together, allowing for cohesive colorwork, striping, or fade-style projects. Of course, they also stand confidently on their own for those who find themselves drawn to one shade in particular.

These colorways will be offered on two different bases:
• 100% Superwash Merino wool, DK weight
• 100% Bluefaced Leicester wool, non-Superwash, fingering weight

Thank you for being part of these four years, for knitting, crocheting, sharing, and supporting along the way. I’m so excited to celebrate this milestone with you, and I can’t wait to see what you create with these new colorways. Happy stitching!

A few weeks ago I, like many people, sat down to watch K-pop Demon Hunters on Netflix. I became an instant fan from the very first song and the album has been in my regular rotation ever since! The very next day I decided that I needed to put together a color palette for mini skein sets, and so here we are. These sets, which I’m calling “Heels, Nails, Blade, Mascara,” pulls together six colors from the Huntr/x girls iconic looks from the beginning of the movie and contain shades that move from light to vivid to dark.

For this initial run you will have your choice between two of my usual mini skein bases:

80% Superwash Blue Faced Leiceister / 20% nylon
Fingering weight; 25g per skein; approximate yardage 91 yds per skein (546 yds total)

75% Superwash Merino/ 25% nylon
DK weight; 20g per skein; approximate yardage 49 yds per skein (294 yds total)

The preorder window will begin on Friday, August 8th and will run through Friday, August 22nd. All orders will then be dyed and shipped no later than Friday, September 5th.

Happy Stitching!

Greetings Yarnians!

Any of you who are familiar with my work know that I draw inspiration, primarily, from games and anime. However, sometimes the universe hands you something you simply can’t resist. That’s what occurred a few weeks ago when I was doing some color testing, and a particular group of colors caught my eye. When I say “caught my eye,” what I really mean is that I became fixated on them and decided that I had to do something with them, even though it doesn’t align with my usual process. How fortuitous that my birthday is just around the corner… yes? And everyone should get what they want on their birthday… right?

THAT is how the Level 46 mini skein set came into being. I am absolutely entranced by it and am thrilled to be able to share it with you.

A preorder listing will be available in the Crafter Gamer Geek shop from Sunday, April 6th through Sunday, April 20th. All ordered sets will then be dyed and shipped no later than Saturday May 3rd. This will be a limited release set, which means the set will not be available again once the preorder window closes.

Level 46 will be available on my four usual mini-skein bases:
Fingering Weight Options:
• 70% Superwash Merino / 20% Cashmere / 10% Nylon (25g per skein)
• 80% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester / 20% Nylon (25g per skein)
DK Weight Options:
• 75% Superwash Merino / 25% Nylon (20g per skein)
• 85% Superwash Merino / 15% Donegal Neps (20g per skein)

I hope you’ll check out the Level 46 preorder once it goes live on April 6th.

Happy stitching!

Last summer, I became smitten with the Netflix series Heartstopper. I think that at one point I watched the series three times in one week and have since gotten caught up on the graphic novels. What can I say, sometimes I’m a sucker for romance. So, like many dyers would, I decided to express my fandom through yarn. I’ve created three mini skein sets in various semisolid colors:

• Blooming Attraction gives off rainbow vibes with a burgundy red, denim blue, sunny gold, light pink, sea green, and lilac.
• Fluttering Fondness is a swoon-worthy mix of blues, purples, and pinks that is bound to leave you twitterpated.
• Wistful Affections contains a playful arrangement of vivid and delicate colors that includes a muted chartreuse & pink, a vibrant coral & spring green, a tarnished gold, and greige to keep it all grounded.

There will be four base options for these sets:
• 80/20 Superwash BFL/nylon (25g fingering weight)
• 70/20/10 Superwash Merino/Cashmere/nylon (25g fingering weight)
• 75/25 Superwash Merino/nylon (20g DK weight)
• 85/15 Superwash Merino/Donegal Neps (20g DK weight)

Each of these colorway combinations will be available for preorder from May 1st through May 15th. These orders will be dyed once the preorder window has ended and will ship by the end of May. I wanted to make sure that all preorders would reach their destinations in time for pride month.

Just in case you’re having trouble choosing which set to pick, you can get 10% off your preorder if you add any three sets to your cart and use the HRTSTPR3 coupon code at checkout.

Mark your calendars so you don’t miss out!

Hello Yarnians!

It brings me great pleasure to announce that this Saturday, January 28th, marks the one-year anniversary of Crafter Gamer Geek!!!

This first year has been full of new experiences, learning opportunities, artistic struggles, and meeting loads of new people. I even found a new home base LYS close to home (shout out to Yarn Farm Kingston). Encountering knitters and crocheters who have embraced my creations has been a true joy!

I’m marking this splendid occasion by releasing a new collection, Voices of Mars! This new collection features eight variegated colorways that were inspired by the series Carole & Tuesday. Each will be available on DK Merino, as well as fingering and Aran-weight yarns with Merino and BFL options.

The full collection will be released into the Crafter Gamer Geek shop on Saturday (1/28). All items listed in the shop are ready to ship and are always eligible for free shipping in the US for orders of $35 or more.

I hope you’ll come browse the new collection and continue to follow along on Crafter Gamer Geek’s journey.

There will be a shop update this Saturday, May 21st, at 10 a.m. This update will mark the release of Crafter Gamer Geek’s latest collection, entitled Tribes of the West. Each tribe represented in this collection (inspired by Horizon Forbidden West) consists of a variegated colorway as well as semisolid coordinates. For this initial release everything is available as DK weight 100% SW Merino (231 yards/100g). All skeins will be available individually so you can mix and match your favorites!

In addition to this new collection all OOAK skeins in the shop will be 15% off from 5/21 through 5/27. No coupon needed. There is a variety of yarn weights available, ranging from fingering to bulky. I have a few last minute Bonus Round skeins to add to the shop, just in time for the sale.

Make sure you’re following Crafter Gamer Geek on Instagram or Facebook to keep up with the latest, and upcoming, offerings!

When you’re an indie dyer and your birthday is approaching, it seems perfectly logical that you decide to gift yourself some yarn. After all, you spend so much time creating beautiful things to send out into the world, it seems only right that for your birthday you create a little something for yourself. So, I pulled a skein of my Outcast, Seeker, Savior out of my inventory for a project I’ve been eager to cast on, but I needed a semisolid coordinate to go with it.

Well, that sparked the creation of a few impromptu fingering weight sets that will be going into the shop for sale on my birthday this Friday, April 15th. Every set has two to three skeins that are 420 yards each: one variegated skein and one to two semisolid coordinates. As this was a spontaneous decision, quantities are very limited.

I hope you’ll visit my Etsy shop to check these new sets out once they’re released and find something that brings you joy!
