Oh for fuck’s sake. I picked up my knitting, to discover that I knit the last row I finished yesterday all wrong. I’m now undoing 431 stitches, in very light silk lace yarn. 🤬

It’s #showmeyourknits time again. The theme this week is “green”. This is my Kermit the frog green scarf. The pattern is Orbit, by Janina Kallio. I spun the yarn from an unlabeled blob of fiber in my stash.

Also on my mind on International Women’s Day. Judith Slaying Holofernes. Painting by Artemisia Gentileschi, currently in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Posted as a lesson. Some of us crabby women are getting tired of the same old bullshit.
