Knitting designer on hiatus. Chickens, plants, Vermont adventures with pets and kids. I go hiking when I have the time. Unabashedly liberal. Feminist.
If you knit a red hat and wear it to a protest, a food distribution event, or while being a public observer then great! If you knit red hats and think that's all you need to do then it's performative. Actions matter. #resist #fuckIce #fightFascism #knitsky 🧶

WWII nurses wore red lipstick on the battlefield. In 2021 citizens protested in the streets wearing pink hats.
It's not lipstick or the hat that makes a protest. It's the ACTION. Wearing a pink suit does nothing unless you're physically between Al Green and security. #resist #resistFascism #protest

In a year that already has too much bad news, my partner Owen has been diagnosed with Leukemia. Putting this here because not-sharing wouldn't be telling my whole story. But please don't feel the need to donate. We're lucky to be well supported.

Owen's leukemia journey
I had some anemia pop up during a routine blood test in October and we've spent the last few months trying to figure out the cause. On January 2nd 2025 the doctors determined that it is plasma cell l...

One gnome finished and the second is already underway! This pattern is Oh Gnome, You Didn't from Imagined Landscapes on ravelry. I put bits of pipe cleaner in their hat so the points can go in any direction! #gnomeAlong #imaginedLandscapes #knitsky 🧶

It's that time of year when I knit lots of things and take zero photos. Not because they're gifts and I'm trying to keep things a surprise. Just because we only have 8hrs 54min of daylight and I spend all of them at work and in the car. Here's a cute gnome hat in the waning blue light. #knitting 🧶

Adding to #weAintBuyingIt I never shop on a weekend meant for thanks AND I do not shop at box stores. I've switched from Amazon to local stores today and every day!

I needed to charge on my way to work. It took me 6min to work the high tech coffee maker while my car charged 8-21% I can finish at work.

It's key to have fast chargers everywhere. Drivers don't need to charge to full if we know it's not the only option in the county. #nissanLEAF #evCharging

Republicans are taking away people's food because Democrats won't vote to take away healthcare.

The cruelty is the point.

The BCBSVT actuaries and doctors are breathing a huge sigh of relief. Because it will be less expensive to cover vaccines than to cover the needs for members who might have gotten covid/long covid.

I don't know about the executives, they might be grumpy. #vaccines #covid #resist

We went to Octoberfest in Burlington - I was psyched because they had so many ciders on tap that even a celiac could have choices. Also it was an excuse for a fancy hat. #octoberfest #vermontByVermonters #BTV

I refuse to age gracefully, I am going to age like one of those fairytale witches, only growing more powerful and notorious each year.

It's been wicked dry all over New England. I admit to occasionally watering the sunflowers in front of my house to keep them going. Don't miss the flags on the porch reading "end gun violence" and "protect trans kids" because, yeah. #sunflowerForGood #yesIwantMyYardToLookLikeThis #pollinators
