Here's my FLUFF piece. A barely-begun raglan made with repurposed angora/silk blend. At least, I think it's an angora/silk blend. I lost the tag from the sweater.

Hi Knitters! I'm looking for test knitters for my new Spare Rib sock pattern.

They're in dk with a garter rib leg, so they're a quick knit.

Deadline: Halloween (October 31st)

Breakfast of Hermiston watermelon, plums from a friend's tree, garden cucumbers, gift of fancy meats and cheeses. Summer is delicious.

Rick said, "I sent you a picture of a liverwort reproduction structure that I saw while waiting for the G Line".

We looked it up. It's called a gametophyte, and it's very cool.

I know it's just statistical, but the moment I type the letters BS into my browser, it says, You mean bluesky, right?

Few things are more satisfying than finding someone who has discovered one of my translations months or years after its initial publication, and given it a thoughtful and appreciative review.

This eloquent and humanistic take on the importance of inclusion and persuasion is one of the best political conversations I've ever heard. Highly recommended.

I'm new to designing knitting patterns, and I still get tickled every time someone posts a photo of a project made with my pattern. Is this something that wears off with time? I hope not.
