The Perihelion Shawl is the most intricate piece I’ve designed to date. The bulk of the design work occurred over the last couple of years but my original shawl swatch was made over five years ago! I was so worried I’d mess up a good beginning I set it aside for a while.

#knitsky. As a severely visually impaired person, counting stitches on the gauge swatch was always a difficult task. Today I finally figured out to flip the swatch over and count purl bumps instead of V knit stitches. So much better!! Passing it on if it can help others

If you consider how absolutely beautiful #butterflies are, I'm surprised they dont geht painted more often. I'm always happy seeing one, both in reality and in painting. For this one I went for #pastels to match the soft texture of their wings.

At least I finally found a reputable source for the advice I’ve heard before about using heating/freezing to get rid of yarn pests. I’ve heard so many conflicting versions of this, I was never sure if I could trust it.

one struggle of being in a marginalized audience is that sometimes an artist who makes something for us, but we barely have a fingernail's hold on the Entertainment Review Complex
So reviewers criticize the parts that aren't for them, and the work fails because they drown us out

What advice would you give your younger knitting self, #knitsky? 🤔
Maybe you’d say,
“Don’t fear frogging, it’s part of the process!”
OR
“Buy the good yarn, you’re worth it.”

I hope this will qualify for minis/gradients for this week's #ShowMeYourKnits prompt. I made it from the handspun wool of local Blue Texel sheep and as you can see even the sheep have a gradient in their fleeces. Design my own.

My promotion of a Black-owned business for Black Friday is one of my favorite yarn dyers, @lolabeanyarnco.com. Her colorways are always inspired and the yarn quality is unmatched. When I’ve pre-washed vibrant skeins, the dye has hardly bled, and the color is just as eye-catching when it dries.
