Please tell me that life is like choir, with that impossible to hold note, I can take a breath, while you keep singing, and then I keep singing, holding that note, while you can take a breath.

Picture of a cat that doesn't relate to the post...knitters of bluesky 🧶do you know how your stitches are mounted? And why an k2togtbl isn't the same as a ssk if you are a western mount knitter? (Most American patterns are written for Western Mount, but there are other ways...do you know them?)

When the Sec of Agriculture suggests people keep chickens if they want to eat eggs, in seriousness, it is time to up the back garden veggie game. 🌿What I did for fun, now is going to be a necessity if we want to eat. 🍽️First layers down, more to go.🧶knitting can wait.

I've heard that the link to "Dissent" isn't working, so, sorry for the double post but here it is!

"Nothing stops them from deciding that dissent is a crime. Nothing stops them from sending journalists, activists, and political opponents to disappear behind bars." from the @godpod.bsky.social newsletter. Dissent, I say. (Pattern available from my ravelry store, www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...) 🧶

I had the pleasure of sample knitting The Pine Cone Vest for Sarah Dawn in this months issue of Knotions Magazine.It was a fun, and so quick, knit. 🧶

When you are a 🧦sock knitter🧶, there is nothing as magical as turning the heel. So many different ways to do it...I explore some of them for you in this pattern, that let's you "pick your favorite" or "try out a new one." #knittersofbluesky

In a world filled with darkness, I have been looking for three good things in each day. Todays are: Knitting🧶, deep stash yarn, and friends and family I can lean on. #3goodthings #knitting #knittersofbluesky

Life is too short to save this yarn for "special". Knit Picks Felici Worsted 🧶 Not available now, but, hopefully again in the future. Pattern coming soon! #knittersofbluesky #knitting #yarn

Time, weird stuff, how is it Thursday already? Do 🧶knitters do #throwbackthursday here? As a designer, it is fun, every now and then to go back through my portfolio and see which patterns stay, or become, popular over time. Still one of my favorite knits.

On another platform a knitter 🧶 asked if it was ok to knit the same pattern twice, but only pay for it once. As a designer, please, knit the pattern as many times as you would like. "So nice, I knit it twice" and a call out of the designer and pattern is the biggest compliment a designer can get.

I'm thinking of diving back into blogging about knitting 🧶, cooking👩‍🍳, a menace of a new kitten 🐈(she's adorable) and gardening🏡. Does anyone still read blogs?

A friend posted about knitting with black yarn...it can be hard, but sometimes the results, especially when the recipient is very knit worthy, are worth it!

If you knit 🧶 wool socks 🧦 is it important to you that stitch patterns mirror each other? It is subtle, but each of these socks has a directional slipped stitch, but is it worth the effort of knitting it backwards on the second sock? (Pattern is my own.) #knitting #knitsky #sockknitting

I don't do New Year's resolutions, but, my goal for 2025 is to get all the boxes of yarn off the floor and the yarn put away. The problem is lack of space in the drawers/cubbies/shelves of the yarn room. The solution? Remove the air from the yarn!
