Can a double knitter please answer a question for me? Do you actually knit both sides of the fabric? No purling? I was watching someone DK and best as I could make out it seemed like that was the process. If so, I might have to find my needle set and blow off the dust sometime in the near future 🧶

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

Loved this piece so much. Music. Sports. Mental health. Inspiration. Family. PHEW.
A new story I'm pretty pumped to share. It's about words, and our pastime, and changing your traumas by changing your patterns.
