The Northern Lights. I never get to see this where I live in the US! This is amazing! Gorgeous red! You can just see it flow to green down nearer the horizon, but there are too many houses and lights to get a good pic. Amazing!

Trying a new technique for the warping bar and front apron. Vinyl mini blind slats! So far the tension is better. The scarf is a cotton linen blend (5/2) warp and merino linen blend fingering weight singles for weft. 15 dent heddle.

Being the daughter of an auto mechanic, I have some comfort in doing some of my own auto maintenance tasks. Last weekend, I replaced the cabin air filters on both of our Teslas. Had to dismantle part of the dash and center console, and contort myself, but I did it!

A chunky knit hat for the Art Show and Makes Market. I might make one more, too. Reverse colors from this one. No pom.

Just finished, and wove in 200+ ends on this throw blanket for my daughter. All in superwash wool/nylon (85/15 and 75/25) sock yarn scraps, with KnitPicks Stroll as the neutral base yarn. It turned out so well that I am planning my next one! That would be my 3rd of these great all-seasons throws!

Don’t just “push for gun reform” in the US. DO IT! Too many children and innocent souls have perished because of the liberal US gun laws that result in horrific mass killings. STOP THIS NOW! I’m talking to YOU POTUS and SCOTUS, and Fed gov’t leaders!

Who even am I? Four projects going at one time. Two rigid heddle loom projects, a pair of socks on my knitting needles, and a crochet blanket. The new (to me) 10” loom is so fun!

This wasn’t just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, “In honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”

RFK Jr. and the Trump administration are canceling vaccine development for bird flu and other dangerous diseases - an action which puts us and our kids in danger.
RFK Jr. cuts $500 million in mRNA vaccine contracts, dealing major blow to promising area of research
The cuts add to mounting evidence that Kennedy is pursuing an aggressive anti-vaccine agenda.

A little boat repair. The jib sheet flew up out of the pulley last week. Only 1k of wind. Glassy water. No sailing today.

Another stock item for the art show/sale this fall. Superwash 80/20 merino/nylon fingering weight. Hand dyed. Even prettier in person! I meant to do a pickup pattern and forgot to place my pickup sticks before I got pretty far into the balanced plain weave. Rats! #rigidheddleweaving
