The world, especially in the US, is dreadful. This post and the comment thread sustained me today. My polydactyl Moxie joins the group. Read the alt text for a description of her glory when she’s not aggressively biting my arm to get my attention. She needs a sister.
Large polydactyl tortie-tabby in shades of browns and beiges with hints of orange sleeping on a pile of hand knit cowls prominently showing off one of her amazing mitten paws.

Also, #showmeyourknits, I’m making Labubu clothes my GrandBubu. As my grown daughter says, “They’re cheaper than real kids.” Truth. And knitting for them takes less yarn.
Little blue handknit dress for a weird Labubu doll. Don’t tell my daughter I called her “babies” weird.

#ShowMeYourKnits WIP Vanilla Kite Heel Socks by Céline Feyten (Ravelry). First time trying this heel. Very thorough pattern! Sock yarn from stash (no clue) but it’s very splitty. Heel fits really well and was fun to knit. Making them shorty to push me to finish the pair. 🧶🧦🧦 #knitting #knits
Partially completed hand knit sock still on the circular knitting needles (long red cable, silver needles) mad from pale grey yarn with flecks of black and highlighter colors of pink, orange, yellow and green. The sock is laying on a black iron table in front of a pink mesh project bag (bag by DellaQ). Image taken outdoors on a deck in the sunshine.

#ShowMeYourKnits double #WIP In the pink small DellaQ Oh Snap Sack, an ALMOST FINISHED pair of ribbed socks. In the orange large Oh Snap Sack, first sock for a test knit pair. Secret until the designer releases next month. #knitting #socks 🧶 🧦
Unfinished pair of blue-faced Leicester ribbed socks in gold tones bursting out of a pink mesh project bag on a beige striped tweedy couch. The sock on the left is still on the needles (2 pairs of circulars with red cables) and to Ty have a row of colored metal lightbulb markers to aid in row counting. The sock on the right is complete, but is draped over the bag so you can only see the cuff and leg ribbing. Three skeins of yarn and the inside of a partially knit sock still on the needles inside of a salmon-orange DellaQ Oh Snap sack project bag sitting on a beige striped tweed couch. From left to right, the yarn is West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4 Ply in black, white and red. The sock is inside out on one long circular needle set showing the floats of a color work pattern of indeterminate design with a black German short row heel.

That image is from 2020. She didn’t attend this year. I loathe this woman, but accuracy matters.
