The colors in this yarn and the shaping of this sock are bringing me a lot of joy. Yarn is Araucania Yarns - Huasco Sock - Prism Paints in Hologram. Pattern inspired by the shaping of Pyroclastic by Marlowe Crawford, published in @knittymag.bsky.social.

Which alt-keyboard would let us type a thorn?
The first known use of singular “they” is so old that not only does it pre-date singular “you,” it wasn’t even spelled with a “th”
When William and the Werewolf, in 1375 CE, used singular “they,” it was spelled with a Thorn

A work in progress.
This is a great community ethos. Did you know there’s also a “Newskies” feed with first posts from new users? I sometimes go in there and say hi to new folks coming on.
I think all of us should spend five minutes doing this each day:
👉 Search Bluesky for “first post”
👉 Filter by “latest”
👉 Like and welcome at least 10 new people
It makes a big difference and it could just make you a new friend!
