Whether you land on the decorating-after-Halloween or the decorating-just-before end of the winter holidays spectrum, the Mistletoe pattern by Taylor Rutledge of Needle Fox Arts @needlefoxarts.bsky.social works for you! It knits up quickly, it can be reused, and it's not poisonous to pets!

It turns out that the folks at Anthropic used two of my books to train their Large Language Models. I've gone and submitted my claim via the class action settlement. If you're an author whose work has been stolen, you should too

If you are at Sacred Sheep tomorrow (Saturday) come find me and get a card with a discount code for the Both Sides Now Cowl! I've got a pocket full of codes and I want to share!
Even better, both recommended yarns are available at Sacred Sheep.

Thanks to you all buying patterns last month, I was able to send a donation to the CLDC today. It's not much, but I know that every donation helps.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

It’s here! The Both Sides Now Cowl is up on both Ravelry & Payhip and ready for you to cast on. Designed to use one skein of Spincycle Dream State and one skein of Woolfolk TovDK, it’s a knit that has a lot of personality and interest, but easy enough for social knitting.

You may not agree, but I think it’s time for Dems from coast to coast to run on Medicare for all.
We do NOT need health insurance companies at all.
Period.
They serve no valuable societal purpose other than to add cost to healthcare and drive people crazy.

🧶 Working up another sample of my Both Sides Now Cowl, coming out next Friday. Will I finish it by Friday? I don't know. Will I have enough yarn? It's stash leftovers, so we will see how long this cowl ends up.
More photos and details coming soon, but you can mark your calendars for next Friday!
