Back from the first half of this amazing day. It was a fabulous book release party at Audrey with @koshersoul.bsky.social with a whole hog bbq and all the fixings from his new cookbook Recipes From the American South. I will have to chase down some scuppernongs for that fabulous grape hull pie.

I got two pints of okra and some peppers from my CSA this week and together with my last tomatoes made the soup from @koshersoul.bsky.social new book, the one I told ya’ll to buy. I really mean it. Will repost the NPR article w/recipe in the comments. History worth knowing AND eating.

Halloween warp is on! For whatever reason, this warp did not want to behave, but it looks pretty good now. Fibonacci stripes in cotton for point twill towels. #fibersky #weaving #handweaving

I really do enjoy weaving handspun yarn on the rigid heddle loom, even though it’s fussy. Will make an appropriate hedge witch wrap for the season. #fibersky

I think everyone needs a timeline cleanse. Here are my Cochin pullets - Amy, Jo, Meg and Beth going to bed in an orderly fashion. Unlike the 6 chaos goblins who want to sleep in a tree every night and have to be coaxed down. #chickensky

For #showmeyourknits Knitter’s Choice week, I’ll post my most recent sweater that I cannot wait to wear again when it’s cooler. I’d honestly like to hibernate until sweater weather. This is Wool and Pine’s Three Season Cardigan.

My reaction to those jackasses telling everyone that it’s our duty as citizens to “stay healthy” was to make a dinner that involved half a pound of butter. Still a punk, I guess.
