I am a Los Angeles native, as is my mom. My dad and grandparents, however, were from Chicago. I’m not a baseball fan, but I wept when the Cubs won the 2016 World Series because I wished my grandpa could have seen his dream come true. This is a long-winded way of saying I stand with Chicago.

It’s amazing how much knitting you can get done if you ignore housework. 😁

Started these Friday night and now I’m about to turn the heels. 🧶🧦

I think socks are my favorite thing to knit.

The pattern is #barricanesocks by @daisystitches. I love how this Very Berry sock yarn from @jamjaryarns in Papaya is knitting up. The colorway was my mom’s pick for her birthday socks. 🧶🧦

Jumped on the stash bust along bandwagon and cast on a #brioripple wrap by #westknits.

Knitting 100% from stash, just from partially used skeins, and am putting color combinations together as I go. 🧶

Still life with yarn and lemons, or delving into stash to start a #westknits #brioripplewrap.

I was feeling confident until I realized how many choices I have… and I didn’t even pull out my #miniskeins. 🧶

Loved #knitting the yoke on the #TrueNature sweater by #TellyBeanKnits. Good thing, since, despite swatching, I realized it was going to be way too big. Frogged and sized down. 🤞
