My mom just told me that Matt Walsh was in my playgroup growing up and I hope 5yo me threw sand at him. I didn’t have “one degree of separation from child Matt Walsh” on my Memorial Day Bingo card, thanks mom…

I didn’t expect to have to wash and soft block this before it was finished but cat pee changes plans pretty quickly. Luckily, I think I managed to get it all out. #knittersofbluesky #weddingveil #knitting

Finally working the knitted-on border. Once I read copious notes and “how to” instructions, the original pattern started to make sense. I’d blame my neurodivergence for not understanding but the fact that multiple people also had difficulties means it wasn’t just me. #knitting #knittersofbluesky

Update: I’m almost done with the second chart (this pic is from the beginning of said chart) and mentally preparing myself for the second half of the stitches to be the border. #knittersofbluesky #laceknitters #weddingveil

While not the most technically difficult piece of lace I’ve ever #knit, I am having THE WORST time keeping track of where I am on any given row. I tried using stitch markers between repeats but that was worse?? If the final product weren’t so mind-numbingly beautiful, I would have given up by now.

My #FOs for tonight, I finally got around to sewing in ends and finishing. The #handknitsocks are for me and the fingerless gloves are for a friend.

Is there anyone in the #artist or #fiberarts community whose brain I can pick (or who can point me to resources) about doing a resume for a residency program? I’ve only ever done job/work resumes and never done one for #knitting or #crossstitch ( #cross-stitch ?). Dog pic for tax, thanks in advance!

Kenny Boy had a fabulous time in our local soccer field (football pitch for everyone else) on a 100ft leash. He was ready to go again until he wasn’t then slept for 2hrs straight. Goodest boy had the bestest day.

Words cannot accurately capture my utter distain for Matt Walsh, and yet I still watch people reacting to his comments as if his ignorant, hate-filled rhetoric isn’t going to send me into a fit of rage.
Anyway, happy Friday I guess. If anyone needs me, I’ll be in my calm-down-corner.
