My friend knit this before she died but hadn’t gotten around to weaving in the ends. I finished it and wore it today. I got a ton of compliments on it, and it made me smile, thinking of her each time I received one. #KnitSky

I crocheted these squares probably 10 years ago and finally got around to stitching them together. I actually wish the blanket was a little longer, but it still came together nicely. #CrochetSky

Finishing another one of Tricia’s projects ( I only needed to weave in the ends and block). Beautiful lacy short scarf which I think I will give to her MIL. #KnitSky

My best friend who introduced me to knitting died Aug ‘24. I have been helping her husband go through her things and being only 1 of 2 friends who are knitters, I’ve received a lot of her WIPS. I finished off this scarf for her (it was practically done). I think I will give this to her sis. #knitsky

I stumbled on this infinity scarf that I knit up some time back but hadn’t gotten a round to stitching together. I finally did that tonight! I am trying to go into 2026 with no WIPs #KnitSky

Not my best or most creative work, but baby blanket is being blocked. I’m thinking of adding these little pink flowers to the green section for interest. Or does it just make it busy? #KnitSky

Currently on the needles…baby blanket for a family member. Simple striped blanket, but super soft. #knitsky

Memories reminded me that 10 years I served as foreperson on a jury that found a man guilty of child sex abuse. Today, I realize I have done more to stop child sex abuse than some lawmakers. So there is that.

This is your reminder that Christmas will be here sooner than you think. So those bajillion people work calls…perfect time to knit and listen. 🧶

I just finished listening to Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett and this quote really resonated with me. I’m a newcomer to Discworld and it does not disappoint, even if the world sometimes does.

Elmer Lucille Allen, Brown-Forman's 1st Black chemist, is a treasure. To honor her, I am raising $200k to name a chem lab at JCTC in her honor.

While $200k may seem ambitious, we can do it. To give, go to lnkd.in/gu6z863f. Enter “Elmer Lucille" under "this gift is given in honor/memory of".

There’s always time for an audiobook and knitting!

Scarf knitted and now for the magic of blocking!

Thankfully we aren’t doing my family Christmas until Saturday, so I have a little more time to finish this scarf for my niece (Debbie Bliss pattern). Still have a few more sections and need to block it, but I like it!

Knit this blanket for my other sister. Love the drape so much more.

A lot of folks are about to get hand knit cotton washcloths for Christmas 😂
