This is not knitting, but it was a quick, fun craft (and makes me sound super crunchy): kiddo and I picked some lavender, and he made one stem into a bracelet for his friend. I suggested wrapping it with string... And ended up doing it myself because that's how it is sometimes.

#showmeyourknits yellow week: 24 hour booties made for a baby shower a few weeks ago. (That's not the name of the pattern, I just started making them the day before the shower) Yarn is scrap sock yarn, pattern is adapted from Baby Hausschuhe. #knitsky

Lost yarn chicken 8" from the end of this giant baby blanket. Luckily, frogging and redoing the last few rounds should fix it...

To fix our country, keep standing up and speaking out. @5calls.org @indivisible.org

A little frog for Teacher Appreciation Week (commissioned by my 8-year-old for his teacher, who loves frogs). It's not my best work - I struggled with the pattern more than I expected to. But still cute!

Another great way to thank a teacher is to fight for them! @5calls.org @indivisible.org

Currently working on a gift, so this week's #showmeyourknits is perfect! Baby blanket for my future nephew. Yarn is Knit Picks Swish, in my go-to improvised blanket pattern. #knitsky

The best gift? A functioning democracy! Make calls, stand up, speak out: @5calls.org @indivisible.org

It still needs to be blocked, but the sweater is finally done - only 6 weeks later than planned. Pattern is Byron www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... I guess the grey makes it eligible for #showmeyourknits too! #knitsky

Call your reps, stand up, speak out! @5calls.org @indivisible.org

For #showmeyourknits WIP week... the same sweater I've been working on for 2+ months! I'm onto the 2nd sleeve, so the end is in sight. #knitsky 🧶

(And we can't forget the biggest WIP right now... call your reps @5calls.org, take action @indivisible.org, stand up @50501movement.bsky.social)

In a Twilight Zone-esque situation, I'm stuck at a super cute cafe, and for once I left the house without my knitting.

So here's a past project for #showmeyourknits colorwork week! The Dragon Tale Cowl by Hunt Hand Knits was so much fun to make. The mitts were improvised to match (sort of).

Reporting in from sleeve island for this week's #showmeyourknits! Sweater is still Byron, yarn is still Knit Picks. #knitsky 🧶

Bonus arts & crafts in the background is a St Patrick's Day drawing activity with a kiddo who is home sick.

And of course, call your reps! @5calls.org

I'm still knitting 🧶 the Byron sweater, but it's slow going. So here are some more postcards heading for Wisconsin for @tovoters.bsky.social

A different type of crafting. Watercolor pencils + Sharpie + rage at the state of the world. Hopefully the people who get these postcards get out and vote!

I love knitting lace - I don't have a lace project going right now, but here are a few highlights from last year... #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Also - make calls, send postcards, march in the streets, keep fighting

I have a few other things on the needles, but this WIP is my focus, since the recipient's birthday is coming up! Pattern is Byron, yarn is from Knit Picks. #showmeyourknits

To tackle the WIP that is our country, keep taking action. @5calls.org and @indivisible.org are good places to start.

Finished a baby hat for a coworker. I've now made this twice... I think it's time to write down the pattern in a way that other people will understand. 🧶 #knitsky

(Don't forget to call your reps @5calls.org and see @indivisible.org for other ways to fight fascism!)

I love the color you're using! It's been a few years since I knit this, and I don't have the pattern in front of me, but I think the short rows are how you get the slight slope from the shoulder to the neck.

#showmeyourknits - stripes!

Progress is slow on this sweater (pattern is Byron) but it's happening. It doesn't help that I'm knitting it on size 2's. (At some point I'll share my experience with needle sizes & gauge in my knitting...)

Don't forget - call your reps!

Started the day using @5calls.org to encourage my senators to keep fighting the good fight.

And also, knitting. (Pattern is Byron by Natasja Hornby, yarn is all Knit Picks) 🧶 #knitsky #showmeyourknits

Knit scrunchies!

No pattern for the shape (which is why they're all different) but the designs are from Pacific Knit Co's Doodle Knit Directory.

After a break for holiday knitting, this seems like a good time to pick the Leaf Voter Suppression Behind project back up.

Yarn is Leaf Voter Suppression Behind by @lolabeanyarnco.com
Pattern is the Treehiker shawl by Martina Behm
