30s she/her, loves cats, knitting, spinning, aerial, math, gay stuff. Minnesota based for now.
I finished my farmhouse cardigan!!!! Well, it’s now damp and drying and then I need to add buttons, but it’s mostly finished! I’m so glad I pressed on and kept knitting bc it looks fantastic! I didn’t even run out of yarn (which was a concern) I’m so happy with the look and fit! #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Freshly knitted socks! This is my second pair ever! I did an afterthought heel! I’m so proud of them! #knitting #sockknitting #knitsky 🧶

Okay so here’s what I was worried about. Now that I’ve joined the body and sleeves and started the raglan, there is a stark difference in the stripe pattern where the sleeve joins. But you know what. It’s still cute. I’m not as bothered as I thought I’d be. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Side by side comparison of my handspun yarns. Each came from a 4oz braid. 91 yds, 262 yds, 760 yds. So rewarding to see my progress! #spinning #handspun 🧶

Joined the body and sleeves. I think it’s cute but I’m also having the urge to frog the whole thing and use the yarn for something else. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Look at this gorgeous yarn! 760 yards of 2-ply and it is still soft! The fiber is Targhee, dyed by a local Minnesota dyer, Honeygold acres. I’m so proud of this yarn! #spinning #handspun 🧶

After knitting exactly one sock with these new chiaogoo US size 0 (2mm) stainless steel needles, one of the needles is bent! Has anyone ever seen something like this before? I am fairly sure I did not step on them, so I think I bent them with the sheer power of my knitting! #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Joined my last dragon egg of Noro Ito. 3 more inches of body to knit before I join the sleeves! My cat jumped in the photo at the last second! #knitting #knitsky 🧶

The phrase "turnabout is fair play" is coming to mind.
OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product.

On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

I learned how to use a plying bracelet to finish off this yarn! #spinning #handspun #knitsky 🧶

Now that’s what I call a full bobbin! #spinning #handspun #knitsky 🧶 Last night I finished plying my first yarn of 2025! The fiber is US Targhee, dyed at a local Minnesota dyer.

Maybe you like colorwork? The Prickly Pear Hats (both designs in one PDF) are knit from two skeins of Pushkin from The Farmers Daughter Fibers. You can knit both hats from the 2 skeins!🧶💕

Knee lock! From tonight’s class. The last time we did this skill, it was so hard for me! Nice to see progress! #aerialarts #aerialsilks

Y’all! Look at this! My housemate MADE this! I’m flabbergasted! I casually mentioned I needed a swift and she MADE one out of #woodworking scraps! The most expensive part was 6 bucks! Isn’t this the coolest thing you’ve ever seen! Wow! #knitting #knitsky #yarn 🧶 @willowteatree.bsky.social

Looks like I stopped posting on Bluesky before i finished this sweater in late April 2024. Since I’m back, the sweater has gotten some attention as one of my most recent posts, so for anyone wondering, here is the finished sweater, she is gorgeous! #knitting #knitsky 🧶

This is what happens when you try to impose politics on messy biological reality. Turns out that it’s a bit harder to “define a woman” than the Republican Party thought 🤡
Did Trump's executive order just make everyone in the U.S. female?
All Americans are now AFBT (assigned female by Trump).

Howdy from Minnesota! Back on this app after many months, back for obvious reasons. I knit and spin 🧶 and do aerial silks and sometimes aerial hoop/lyra and I have cats and I teach college math. And I’m gay. Looking for friends.

I am so fucking gay

Looks like @404media.co dug down on a lot of this, and I am genuinely and completely struggling against despair at what the future of being an educator, researcher, and writer will even mean over and at the end of the next 5 years.
