My son LOVES his hat, but it was really annoying me that it was a smidge too short, and didn’t keep his ears warm. 😑
I graphed added sections, did some yarn math, and unravelled the crown. (small sock DPNs as a “lifeline” was a huge help!!)
I’m getting faster at fair isle at least!

I finished knitting my cotton sweater at the end of March, but took another week to weave in the ends.
After quite a few rainy days, I finally remembered to take a picture.
It’s a tad heavy, but it will be PERFECT for summer nights on the boardwalk.
Look at that gradient!! 😍

Rep. Jayapal: "If you try to eliminate birthright citizenship, jail people for free speech, slash funding, use Cold War-era regulations to do mass deportations, then yeah. You're going to get nationwide injunctions. So maybe if you don't like the injunctions, stop doing the illegal stuff."

Having to frog a few inches on my summer pullover was not great, but at least the pile of yarn is still pretty.
Now to rework the divide for sleeves, and avoid this pile turning into a giant tangle as I knit. 🤞🏻🧶

I needed a simple project to work on between frogging and reknitting the sleeves on the white and teal summer sweater. 😅
My predictable tv watching project: a simple crochet shawl, plus ombre bc of course… (I might need some not-blue cotton yarns..)

The US is steadily turning into Gilead, but I hope the rest of the world’s doctors and scientists will care about the entire population, and not just the ones with a penis.
A special issue on #WomensHealth in #ScienceAdvances highlights a growing wave of research focusing on women’s unique biological and psychological experiences.

I’m hopeful that the large airy gauge means I’ll be able to finish in time to actually wear it this year. 🤞🏻
The “vintage” thick and thin yarn is meh, but the ombré cotton is my fav, and I really love how it’s knitting up. 🧶

Why don’t republicans want our children to have medical coverage, be fed, and educated?!?!?!?
How is that “wasteful spending”??
I’m proud to see my former congressional rep, of Burlington County NJ, supporting our people as a senator. 💙

Senate Republicans have a choice: tax cuts for the wealthy, or meals for hungry kids.
..we'll let you guess which way they're leaning.

Anyone ever play the original Sim City? Where if you so much as forgot one utility they all but lit torches and came for your ass? I want the republicans to feel like that. I want congress to feel like we’re lighting a metaphorical fire under them. They work for us. Don’t let them forget it.

Those votes won't be there if we continue to see utter disregard of the legislative branch.

My houseplant collection!
I’m really proud of how big my maranta leuconeura (red prayer plant) has become. A few years ago, my best friend gave me a 2 leaf cutting from her MIL’s 40yo plant, and now it’s huge!
Most of my plants are on this stand, and there’s a few golden pothos around the house.
