Leftist in Chicago. Knitting. Sewing. Amateur birding. Travel. Play guitar and mandolin poorly.
I love that @aoc.bsky.social is in on the #WIPWednesday trend. As for me, I'm chugging along on miles of ribbing on the DRK Everyday Cardi using Mountain Meadow Tweed Sport, which I am loving. 🧶

I went to the protest in Chicago last Saturday and a couple people near me were griping about the pro Palestine speakers. That says to me we need more young people and more leftists to show up who loudly & proudly support a #FreePalestine #MayDay #50501

It's been a day. Managing Alzheimers grants, the gutting of the CDC broke me. I watched some Booker & had a bit of hope. Wisconsin showing up gave me more hope. Now here I am with my snoozy pup working out a tricky part of this Ginsan & thinking we got this. Shit sucks now, but we'll do it.

Saturday morning knitting with a snoozy pup, window open, and a podcast is one of my favorite things. I'm working on a Ginsan cardigan using one of my fave yarns- Lucky Tweed. #knitting 🧶

On vacation in Spain enjoying gorgeous architecture, delicious food and drink, & lovely people. It boggles my mind that people like Elon with more money than I can fathom spend their days making lives worse & husks like Schumer enable it. Just eat some tapas and stare at an old castle, you maniacs.

A friend sent me this and I thought it was a joke. Nope- @schumer.senate.gov posting to the Nazi hell site this important commentary from the front lines.

There's nothing quite like the big bag of bullshit on #RHOSLC to make me feel some joy while the world is imploding. On one hand I'm so sick of Meredith and want her gone but on the other the greatest thing ever said was "It was a dig on my marriage and it was a dig on my bathtub!"

Mostly off IG so I guess this is where I post my dog and my crafts. Nearly finished the body of this sweater I designed using Lopi yarn I got in Iceland last summer. Middle looks weird cause I'm gonna steek it and add an zipper. But first ribbing the bottom and a trip to sleeve island. #knitting 🧶

I did a yarn advent calendar through Playful Day Yarns. It was fun & I love the yarn but am usually not much of a mini skein person. I'm planning to do the Find Your Fade shawl by Andrea Mowry combining some yarn I dyed this year. Any favorite patterns that use lots of mini skeins? 🧶 #knitting

Finished the Winter Sweater (pattern by Kate Gagnon Osborn) just in time for really cold weather. Yarn is Vidde which I liked a lot. I'll get a ton of wear out of this one. #knitting 🧶

Coming to Hallmark this Holiday- "Don Me Now Our Brains Unravel."
Love how we were expected to ignore the funding of a genocide cause of the impending existential threat to democracy and now it looks like we're gearing up to pardon some turkeys together! We love the enemies to friends trope!

Greetings to my 4 followers! This place seems better than Threads and obviously better than that other one. Hoping we can maybe plan the class revolution here, but for now here's something I'm knitting.
