April socks: Popped by @hunterhammersen.bsky.social in merino sock dyed by my wife @gobsmackedyarn.bsky.social in Sackville, NB.

Reader, I fell in love with a favourite yarn dyer. Middle-aged queer knitter love story featuring a librarian and a small town. Yep.

LYS week for #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶
Close up of a magenta-purple sock with wavy bubbles transitioning to a point across the top of the foot. The foot is on the treadle of a spinning wheel on a blue floor. Purple-magenta socks with twisted stitches and a bubbly pattern. The person in the photo is pulling up wide-legged black denim pants so that the flow of stitches from cuff through the foot can be seen.

Hey, Canadians, have you voted yet? We voted early this time, along with 7.3 million (!) other Canadians.

If you haven't voted yet, today's the day! For details of how, when, and where to vote, go to Elections Canada's homepage.
An awkward selfie of E and me with an Elections Canada VOTE sign in the background. E's pointingvat the sign with a grin; I've already put my N95 on so you can just see my eyes crinkling under my red and blue knit toque.

#ShowMeYourKnits is celebrating Local Yarn Stores this week. Mine is Gobsmacked Yarn in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada. 🧶

This shawl is Trypophobia by @xandypeters.bsky.social in a @gobsmackedyarn.bsky.social giant (150 g gradient).
A person with short hair and a crooked grin is wearing a showstopping shawl. The shawl has holes varying from the size of a single stitch to improbably large holes. To find out how they’re made, buy Trypophobia by Xandy Peters. The yarn is a brown to green gradient with lots of warm woodsy dappling.

Me, posing in front of the store window. I'm wearing a deep teal sweater knit out of Canadian Rambouillet wool and am attempting to balance a golden cake of the yarn on my head.
