A dangerous moment for all who believe in civil liberties and the rights of individuals. SCOTUS, w/out explanation, just green lit the Trump Admin’s racial profiling.
Detaining people based on their ethnicity is unconstitutional & un-American. Another shameful decision by this Trump-stacked Court.

US Supreme Court backs Trump on aggressive immigration raids
The U.S. Supreme Court again backed President Donald Trump's hardline approach toward immigration on Monday, letting federal agents proceed with raids in Southern California targeting people for deportation based on their race or language.

Rachel’s Garden
Rachel’s Garden is a half-pi shawl that is worked top-down beginning with a garter tab. Just as a garden flourishes with care and perseverance, this shawl is a symbol of resilience, comfort and beauty in life's most difficult seasons. Named for a beloved family member whose courage and grace in the face of cancer, Rachel's Garden is the embodiment of that courage and grace. The half pi shape gently hugs the shoulders, blooming with floral motifs in both lace and mosaic. May it wrap you - or someone you love - in hope, healing and love.

At the end of January I walked into my LYS and said “I need a Dissent cardigan!” By the time it was finished and the buttons arrived, the weather became to warm to wear it. Not happy about the current cold snap but I’m very happy to wear my cardigan!

When I set Feb. 28 as the release date for Dock Street, it was months ago. A lot has changed since then. As a small business, any time you purchase a pattern, a larger business gets a portion of the sale. So in support of today’s economic blackout, Dock Street will now come out March 1st.

Today is my son, Mason’s birthday. He would have been 30 but we lost him to suicide at age 22. In those early days of raw grief, knitting became an anchor that saved me from drowning. That fact, and Mason’s tattoo, became the inspiration for my first design Anchors Aweigh.

And folks think it won’t effect them. Make no mistake: the only people who will benefit are the billionaires behind the tariffs.
Once, I had a small business hand-dyeing yarn. I Just got an email from a Canadian supplier from way back then, talking about the impact tariffs would have on pricing if they go into effect tomorrow. On both sides of the border, small businesses, as well as consumers, are going to be hurt by Trump.
