Hello Bluesky. Looking for fellow knitters, spinners, cat folks and bakers. Leaving the Metaverse.
Here's my current WIP, the Eirwen cardigan in WoolPak yarn.

Me: I don't have any more room for yarn in the stash closet until I use up some.
Also Me: I can't start more projects because my needles are in use, so I need more needles.

Sophie is very snuggly this morning. I'd like another cup of coffee, but at least I have a sock to work on.

Do I have three other #spinning projects in progress? Did I start a new long-term spin this morning? The answer is yes. #BlueskySpinning #handspinnig

This week's #showmeyourknits are shawls. I've made so many, some fancy and some just everyday wraps. Here's one made of my handspun, cozy and just right when you need a warm extra layer for you and a friend. #knitsky

I think he's forgiven me for the two claws I managed to trim.

I finished my #Pride sampler spin! I love the way it looks on my mini Turkish spindle, but I don't love chain plying on any spindle. Sophie is hard to impress, but I think she likes it. #handspinning #spindlespinning #BlueskyCats

Singles are done! Now I have to be patient and let them rest until tomorrow. I'm going to chain ply to keep the colors solid.

Happy Pride Month!
This cute little sample caught my eye in the stash cabinet yesterday. I'm already halfway done! Riley Petite Turkish spindle, barely 3 inches tall.

It looks like I'm annoying him, but he stuck his head under my knitting on his own. #BlueskyCats

I think I'm in a purple mood 💜 for this week's #ShowMeYourKnits -- I even just unearthed two pairs of purple socks in a knitting bag that I forgot I knit during the late Pandemic.

Four mouse night, thanks to Eliot.
He "delivered" to the bedroom door from midnight to 5 AM, with bonus death howls.

This week's #ShowMeYourKnits is incredibly timely. I just finished these Mia Gloves today. Knit Picks Palette, 2.5mm needles. Very fun, even with the fiddlyness of glove fingers. Just in time for spring...

A bit of coffee break #spinning some CVM fleece I carded into rolags. I made the cherry spindle on a lathe. It isn't a perfect spinner, but neither are the rolags. Just taking my time to pick out any nepps and enjoy the process.

One down, one to go.
It's a good thing they're so pretty. Glove fingers are insanely fiddly.

Doing some takli cotton #spinning and enjoying the free Stephanie Gaustad Spinning Cotton video. So sad I never had a chance to take a class with her.

Well, I was going to get up and do some work. I guess I can do a few more rows instead.

My #SaturdaySpinning is some mystery top from Amazon on an Electric Eel 6. Very soft, spinning very thin. Catching up on Mijn Wolden, a new to me spinning vlog. #spinning #handspinning
