Still fighting the good fight 🌊, also looking to connect with knitters, spinners, quilters, gardeners, artists, birders, and good souls to maintain my sanity while the world burns. Married, don't DM me looking for a date. 🚫

What's the saying? Be willing to suck at something new?

Played with my blending board today, making rolags,& spinning from that. Honestly,it's my best spin so far. I like long draw. Not perfect, but improving! Maybe I can make something besides a bowl filler this time! #fiber #spinning #handspun 🧶

Yeah, you better respect!
I share this reminder every year elsewhere on the internets and every year someone debates the accuracy. Then they go googling and come back with an apology 🤣 #knitting #handknits #blueskyknits

Good info!

How to Knit Wide Stripes Without a Jog and Without Breaking Yarn

Simple method that solves two most common issues we face when we knit wide stripes in the round - jog and numerous yarn tails that we have to weave in later on.

I need some help from my #knitting 🧶 friends. A while back I bought 6 skeins of fingering weight merino silk blend (80/20)...400 yds each, 2 denim blue, 2 lt gray, 2 burnt orange. I didn't have a pattern in mind, now i need help finding one, either large shawl/wrap or sweater. Thoughts? TIA!

O Christmas Fish, O Christmas Fish...

This one got the hat! 😄 Knitting these may just be a little bit addictive... 🧶

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things is not quite the same....

I'm laughing so hard!!! Lesson 1: follow all of the instructions. Lesson 2: do not knit when exhausted, full of turkey, and trying to talk to people 🧶

😅😅😅

Who recognizes the first unit of this project?

I'm happy to get new followers, but in order to keep things troll-free I will block anyone without a profile or posts. I don't want this to end up like the other place.

Per the other place, from multiple posters, Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his nomination. Good. One less rapist in the incoming administration.
