If you have a few bucks to spare, Mission Blue Skies could use your help.

All of the proceeds go to making life for veterans undergoing chemotherapy treatment at the Bronx VA a little easier.

A share goes a long way as well. 🫶🏾

www.bvmrf.org/mission-blue...
Mission Blue Skies was inspired by the service of brave men and women, particularly by the life and service of U.S. Air Force Veteran Matilde Cruz, who understood the critical needs of our veterans and dedicated her life to serving others.

🧶 Knitting friends please help! 🧶

Does anyone know what this stitch is? This is 40 yrs old and has been washed a thousand times so it’s hard to tell what’s going on in the stitch pattern and I have not been able to replicate it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🩷

The Midland Cardigan by Laura Penrose is available today. I had never repeated a garment pattern before but for this one I cast on a second version immediately upon finishing the first. The fit is amazing and it is super fun to knit! 🧶 #knitting

A very informative and insightful thread on ‘MLK truths many would rather forget’.
Every MLK Day, people who’d likely have opposed him in life share out-of-context quotes. They focus on unity while ignoring his sharp critiques of inequality, inaction, and complicity. Let’s honor his full legacy by reflecting on the truths many would rather forget. 🧵 (I made time this morning 😏)

My Midland cardigan. Pattern by Laura Penrose coming next Saturday 1/25.

I wear this sweater so much and it was so much fun to knit that I’ve already got a second version on the needles.

I love when Ravelry’s Hot page goes off the rails! 🤣 My favorite find today is ‘Soxolotl’ by Emma Bermudez. (‘Fiji Mermaid’ by CraftyTibbles is a very close runner up!) 🧶 #knitting

What made you smile today?

Today is tough in so many ways. A real ‘I just can’t’ day. But I just got a skein of yarn from LolaBean Yarn that is so perfectly my vibe, my colors - I smiled and I am grateful for that moment. 😊

I can’t share a 🧶 pic without spoiling for some so here’s Arrow instead.

These WWII-era knitting patterns are so interesting to read through! They’re all for just one single size and most are done at a very fine gauge. 🧶
Holy cow. Did you know that the V&A has a collection of 1940s knitting patterns you can access for free? Saving these for later!
