Great date night at Hobbit Night at Amazing Art Studio. We even won trivia (team name: Beren and Lúthien) by out nerding the other nerds.
We’re hanging the You Shall Not Pass sign on our dog door. Dan’s wood art is going in his office. I also made a Prancing Pony stein.

Hot off the Knitting Needles! My Marmalade and Flames Shawl using the Plumpy pattern from Andrea Mowry! I made it for the Yarniacs Colors of Fall Knit-a-Long. I used Mrs Moon Plump DK and Malabrigo Silky Merino & Rastita. I’m pretty happy with it for my first real brioche project!

A quarterly update: 165 books!
I’ve been knitting a different temperature blanket like project this year.
This is a book shawl, each 2 rows is one book read with the color corresponding to the genre. I’m reading a lot more non-fiction than anticipated. #knitsky #booksky 💙📚🧶 Pattern in ALT.

First Pride Month finish.
I made this to honor my eldest child and to replace my chair shawl at work. I’m hoping it is a subtle show of LGBTQIA+ support at my federal government office that made me remove my pronouns from my signature line.

A swift is what holds the yarn while you wind yarn. The nice wooden ones are expensive.

Stephen West Northern Lights Shawl in non-binary pride colors in progress
I am knitting a book shawl for 2025, like a temperature shawl, with each 2 rows matching the genre of book I read. From January to March, I read 105 books (I always have one on audiobook and one physical going).
I’ve been reading a lot more non-fiction than anticipated! #booksky #knitting 📚💙🧶

Hot off the needles! I had to leave off the ribbed border because the height and sleeve length was already where I wanted. Should have knit a smaller size to accommodate. Oh well! #knitting 🧶

It was funny when people suggested this a few weeks ago.

Non-fiction recommendation for Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn. It’s a crucial re-examination of Wilson with a spotlight on his unabashed misogyny and racism and how they impacted his foreign and domestic policies.
