Making new colorways means taking time to get to know them. How do they look in the pot vs washing and hanging to dry. And then how will they knit (or crochet) up?

Also working these on a new base. I love a thick single ply.

Happy WIP Wednesday!

Working on a shawl, there are mistakes. I leave them so I can see my progress over time, but mostly I hate frogging 😂

Pattern by All Knit Up Designs

Sock yarn dyed by me, Waiting for Aurora and a new colorway I’m testing out.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Universal childcare wouldn't just relieve working families of a massive cost burden. It improves the whole economy.

"There are a lot of reasons building a child care system that works for everyone is important to our children, to parents, to employers and to economic growth."

Isabell will be starting her Take Your Pick KAL on 9/14. Just pick one of her designs to participate! Through 9/14, she has generously made all her patterns 25% off with the code TYPKAL on Ravelry.

Love the retro feel of her Bao Bao Shawl!
Perfect for our LITLG Sport Merino!

Just washed and dried this lovely Gotland sheep fleece. Can’t wait to dye it and spin it up. It’s so soft!

1. Now they are going after adult recreational leagues.

AG Ken Paxton is attempting to use consumer protection laws to argue that even allowing a trans person to compete in a rec league is engaging in "deceptive practices."

This could be a horrible precedent.

Additional report says 20+ ICE agents are in Juneau staying at Ramada, Baranoff, and in the valley.

ICE vehicles are also in Anchorage.

Keep an eye out and don’t talk to people who claim to be law enforcement without a warrant signed by a JUDGE. #Alaska

This earthquake and tsunami warning comes while our senators are voting to claw back funding for rural radio stations in Alaska. Alaska is a radio state, many people out there are getting their emergency news and guidance through local public radio. Right this minute. #akleg #akgov
Tsunami warning issued after M7.3 earthquake near Sand Point
The warning includes the southern end of the Alaska Peninsula, along the coast, and up to both sides of Cook Inlet.

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.

It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.
