It’s pretty rough, we’ll call it ‘art yarn’. But my first skein on my new to me Louet S10. I learned a lot from start to finish so looking forward to my next practice fibre.
Fibre is Finnigan’s Rainbow from Belfast Mini-Mills (mohair, merino and alpaca).

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Big projects are hard to capture in photos.
Happy to have Rioux off my needles and blocked. I’ve been working on it off and on since last July.
Thanks @knitjbeale for the beautiful, challenging pattern. Can’t wait to start my next one!

#ShowMeYourKnits, love and #hearts. As part of my mission to smuggle math into people’s lives, I designed a symmetry-group scarf FREE pattern for @knitty.com. I constructed the nine patterns with three motifs: scrolls, vines, and hearts.
