Staying cool in low hanging oak branches #catsky #catsfbluesky
Face of kitten with white and tabby markings, big yellow eyes and a little pink nose. She is peeking out from beneath a bough of green oak leaves.

This #caturday I’m missing and worrying about my girl Pippin who is in the hospital. She’s being well cared for but I wait for some good news.
Drowsy face of an orange kitty with her eyes half closed and her paws tucked under her chin. She is leaning against a white blanket.

This week's #showmeyourknits prompt is for DK weight yarn. These two are newish- a Port Jacket, pattern by Ozetta, in Ístex Léttlopi and a Bluebird cardigan, pattern by Ronja Hakalehto, in Tukuwool DK. Both have my own glass buttons, too! #knitsky #glassart #lampworking
Port jacket in an orange heathery yarn, laid out to block on a grid. Buttons are a green transparent soft glass, with dots made to look like flowers in ivory glass. Bluebird cardigan in a purple yarn with creamy color work on the yoke, apparently hanging in a snowy yard. This was my first steek, a bit of a nail biter for me! Buttons are ivory soft glass stamped with a swirl and touched with a bit of purple enamel

It would be nice if valid words were consistent for all the NYT games. This one is a #nytsb word

Wordlebot analysis of my fourth guess showing 0 skill, no luck. The bot says “There was only one possible solution left - and this wasn’t it. (XXXXX is a valid guess but it’s unlikely to be a solution based on what I’ve learned from playing Wordle.)…”.

It's WIP Week for #showmeyourknits and hey this doesn't look very exciting. I have tried and failed to knit @isabellkraemer.bsky.social Niamh sweater several times, so it's very exciting to me! I am nearly finished the body, in Sweetgrass from @purlsoho.bsky.social. So soft and lovely.
Sweater in the process of being knitted. It is top down knit, with a v-neckline and I'm in the in the middle of the torso. The photo includes a skein of the yarn from Purl Soho, called Sweetgrass, a lovely undyed blend of 50% organic cotton and superfine alpaca, in the color way Beech Bark, a soft gray. Back to work.

New baby girl needs a name #catsky
5 month old kitten- white with grey/black tabby markings on her face, back, legs, and tail, or is she a grey/black tabby with white cheeks, chest, belly, and feet?

When the kitty is foliage colored, it’s hard to keep an eye on her
Orange kitty is hiding in plain sight on the faded fall lawn, surrounded by yellow and brown leaves.

Basil is lovely and brave!
Also team leashed cat here to save the local fauna. She’s allowed in the yard with a chaperone and leash. It slows her down and helps me see her. She won’t let me actually walk her though!

He looks like a snuggle bug. Here’s my stoned kitty. Love this scruffy old man so much.
My elderly tuxedo cat is still beautiful to me.

The way these posts lined up today
Screen shot with two separate posts of grey kitties as they appeared in my feed. The one on top shows a kitty face posted 30 minutes ago by Helen Whistberry and just beneath it is a post one day ago of kitty paws by Laurhob.

Wondering if my feed is full of cats because I like all the cats in my feed or if Bluesky skews towards cat people.
Close up of super cute orange tabby kitty face that can’t quite believe I’m taking a photo instead of snuggling up.

Much loved black and white tuxedo kitty with his tongue sticking out waiting to be booped.
