It’s been a while. I’ve been busy doing a few test knits so I haven’t been able to share until patterns have been released. Now released, there’s a 15% discount code until May 31

It’s always nice to see the lace open up after blocking. Here is a before blocking pic and a couple of after blocking pics of a shawl I just finished yesterday

Much better! PSA: For anyone knitting the pattern the first time, if the tail portion looks like the left side, frog back and try again!

Two knitted samples of tail section of the pattern for the Emotional Support Chicken. Left side shows incorrectly knitted with one section resembling a rectangle rather than a tapered point. Right side shows correctly knitted tail section with 3 tapered peaks.

With over 10k projects on Ravelry, I’m hoping someone can help to explain what I’ve done wrong on this first side of the tail portion for the #EmotionalSupportChicken

The first two peaks look good but something messed up in the 3rd peak and it just looks rectangular 😂 🆘

Who decides and how is it decided what the theme is for #showmeyourknits. Can we not just post whatever we have finished or working on? I’m so happy when I finish a project and want to share but it’s never going to coincide with the decided theme of the week 🤷‍♀️

Took a little break from smaller projects to make myself a new summer tee. I was determined to finish this in time to wear this year. Mission accomplished! Fingering weight too 😅

Still knitting a lot with a few ongoing small projects. This was a test knit finished in 2 days for SweaterFreak called Slanting Tiles Hat. Pattern now available on Ravelry.
Fun pattern and quick!

Follow up pic. I’ve done this type of cuff once before and quite like it. The short row cuff tab is from a free pattern called Evanesco on Ravelry. Heel is done using a fleegle heel method.
Now to finish the other sock.

Decision time. I think I will make a short tab to finish this as an ankle sock. Then there is higher chance I will finish the 2nd sock 😜

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Selfie today with the now blocked #hudsonrippleshawl I loved knitting this and have plans to knit the newly released Cowl pattern.
Finishing smaller projects is helping me feel I’ve accomplished things while in the news, a lot of unravelling is happening

The #musselburghhat pattern is a great project when you are trying your best to avoid doom-scrolling, watching Netflix with doggo on lap and mindlessly #knitting yet mindfully trying to stay positive at same time.

I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went

This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers

2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon

But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof

Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....

I’ve never knit as fervently as I have been this past month. Sign of the stressful times I guess. Musselburgh hat finished and it’s the softest warmest piece ever. #2 is started on the needles but nowhere near as soft as this.

Do I need to knit and wear a hood scarf? I’ve been searching through Ravelry for the past 2 weeks. Categories vary so you have to search a few different places. Jose hood? Sophie hood? Or wait a bit for release of Rib Welt Hood scarf next week?

Yes, I’ve jumped on the Musselburgh Hat craze and joined many others. Deep dive in stash for a pair of skeins of Malabrigo Lace and holding double-stranded.
