The garden is ready for the season! And so is my new fort... I mean, greenhouse. 🌱 (Will I be sitting in my greenhouse/fort with my knitting and a cup of tea next time it rains? 110%) 🧶☕️

In the midst of the horrors, something good. One of the first German editions of my books is coming out in a few weeks, and I'll be signing copies at h&h Cologne in early March. 🧶 #knitting #stricken

My cat, who does not pay the mortgage, clean up after herself, or do any chores whatsoever, would like to have a word with the manager.

I interrupt your scroll to tell you that once upon an afternoon in the beforetimes, my puppy Greta modeled a hand knit cowl (designed my friend Kyle). 🧶 Just in case you needed to see a cheerful pup wearing a bit of knitting. Because of course you did. Carry on.

I'm re-listening to this; it reminds me that it's difficult to function, have clarity, and maintain your peace if you are constantly inundated with information and overwhelm. Giving ourselves frequent breaks from the terrible news will be important so we don't crumble under the weight of it all.💙📚

My coping strategy for the dark days ahead is to lean heavily into creativity - for self-care, joy, and protest. Just started reading this, which begins: "We all have a thousand bad paintings in us, so let's get going." Bad or not, the world needs your art. And so do you. #booksky 💙📚

It pays to hang out with a knitter. I'm at Lowe's with my husband, and he asked if I happen to have a tape measure or anything with me. Why, yes, I do. I also have a couple of half-finished sweaters and a pair of tiny scissors, if you need those? 🧶 #knitting

One of my favorite things about knitting is that it's portable. I started a cardigan while I was in Switzerland last fall (shown here from my hotel room in Zurich). My projects end up being souvenirs because they're imprinted with memories of the trip. Any other travel knitters in the house?

Riddle me this: Late last night - just hours before the SCOTUS ruling on TikTok - I got an unsolicited invitation from Facebook to add my TikTok link to my profile. Never got that before. Have you? I don't even use TikTok. Maybe Zuck is the one about to buy it?
