o hai #knitsky. S is for Seahorse! Pattern by Cheezombie on #ravelry / Etsy. My yarnflame has been low for months, so I revisited this old standby. It's fanning the embers. Quote this post with a knit that starts with the next letter of the alphabet! #showmeyourknits by @livrunsfast.bsky.social

#2ndSockKAL last week of every month? Great idea, @bluegal.bsky.social! While I didn't finish, it got me to a good spot: both sheepy socks now placed on long circulars, ready for cuffs worked two-at-a-time with magic loop. Pattern is 'Les moutons de Biscotte' designed by Louise Robert. #knitsky

Joy and creation are acts of defiance. The orange reich doesn't get to steal them from me. Not today, not ever. This cowl doubles for #knitsky #ShowMeYourKnits: #Yellow Week and #SundayPix: #SundayPixTexture. Pattern is 'Buttoned Up' by Linda Medina from the book 60 Quick Cowls.

I think "Could Be Love" by Poolhouse is gaining speed... both the OG and (Rachel's Version). Check them out! youtu.be/CgirY_42ruE #Poolhouse #CouldBeLove #RachelsVersion #indiebands #indierock #newmusic #songofthesummer #songofthesummer2025

Update for #WIPWednesday: after this post, I got some motivation to sort out the swatch and start the sheep socks. Now I have one mostly done and the other almost ready for the heel. Not sure how much of CC2 I’ll have left for cuffs, so I’m waiting to finish them two at a time. #knitsky

#ShowMeYourKnits, cowl week! This is the BFF Cowl, designed by Ysolda Teague & tiny owl knits (Stephanie Dosen). You and your #bff knit one link of each texture in your own color, then swap a link and interlock your new pair when grafting closed. Now I can wear a hug from my bff anytime 💕 #knitsky

Reposting for @wombat37.bsky.social 's #SundayPix: #SundayPixSparkle I will forever be giddily proud of these sparkly #handknitsocks I made! Watch with sound on 🔊 #knitsky #skytok #tiktokexpat #tiktokrefugee

Y'all be sleeping on the song of the summer over here. #Poolhouse #CouldBeLove #indiebands #indierock #newmusic #songofthesummer #songofthesummer2025 youtu.be/XlT-9alaF58

#knitsky #ShowMeYourKnits: Some hats I donated to the U.S. National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome circa 2015. Their Period of PURPLE Crying program educates new parents on normal increased infant crying. For years they accepted handmade purple hats to distribute with the materials. dontshake.org

For @wombat37.bsky.social 's #SundayPix: #SundayPixFeathers Painting on the front door of The Kingfisher apartments in Dublin. One of the places we stayed when I took my eldest nibling to Ireland for their 18th birthday.

This student #ASL performance of #WaitForIt from #HamiltonMusical has me weeping. I foresee a pipeline from this program to #DeafWest #Theatre*. Behold! youtu.be/cHGqPCovBKo *If you didn't know: www.deafwest.org

For @wombat37.bsky.social 's #SundayPix: #SundayPixDouble Matching salamander tats w/ my 4yo friend. They shared so many tats with joyful abandon! It was a #healing experience for my #innerchild who felt anxious about taking too many. A gentle way to unlearn some scarcity.

This is your periodic reminder that gender is a flexible social construct, while sharing Tom Holland's lip sync performance of 'Umbrella' is an irrefutable law. 🖤

My item for this week's #ShowMeYourKnits is the Baby Rogers #Cardigan, modeled by my youngest nibling as part of a full Fred ensemble. Designer is Sandi Prosser; pattern is published in the book Knitting the Neighborhood. Prompts by @livrunsfast.bsky.social. #knitsky

For @wombat37.bsky.social 's #SundayPix: #SundayPixFlame I knit this fire-colored, flame-textured lace shawl in homage to Hestia, classical Greek goddess of the hearth. 🧶🔥 Pattern is Sap Moon by Catherine Knutsson on #ravelry. #knitsky #AltText

Just discovered #SundayPix, facilitated by @wombat37.bsky.social. Today's theme is Friendship. My bff got this tiny wooden frog percussion instrument ('güiro' in Spanish) for me in Thailand when we were teens. I think of them every time I play it for sound cleansing, especially on Imbolc.

This short thread showcases a brilliant zoological publication. As a devoted auntie and child of an educator, I endorse all of the content. #parentlife #dadlife #mumlife #momlife #teacherlife

#ShowMeYourKnits, gift week! Years ago, a coworker requested a flamingo stuffy for their sibling's baby shower. Pattern called for inserting a bouncy ball in the body and a pipe cleaner in the head/neck. I skipped both and shaped w/ short rows instead. Prompts by @livrunsfast.bsky.social. #knitsky

The hard data is in. To be clear, none of these reasons are mutually exclusive. #knitsky

#ShowMeYourKnits theme = grey. This hat is reverse engineered from the hat Emma Swan wears in S1E14 of Once Upon a Time (designer Erica Harbin on #ravelry). I've made it in several shades, yet the gray one is my go-to for cool weather year round. Weekly prompts by @livrunsfast.bsky.social. #knitsky

This week has given me not only le poisson Steve, but Nino Demiani, antiques dealer at Vidi Vici Gallery in Los Gatos, CA, USA. If Robin Williams had been cast to play Aziraphale in Good Omens, the result might have been something like this. youtube.com/shorts/K0tlv... #lepoissonsteve #zionino

"I’ve gotten >1 project finished by dragging it out to photograph. Plus #KnitSky are great cheerleaders!" - @livrunsfast.bsky.social NGL, I was hoping for some of this with my WIP post. 26 likes but 0 forks? I guess considering the current state of the world... Fair ❤️‍🩹 youtu.be/p8aulstjbV8

The club mix has already dropped! There's no stopping him now! #lepoissonsteve #ilestorange #iladesbras #etdesjambes @tomomp3 @vigzvigz.bsky.social

Hi #knitsky. So you're telling me #WIPWednesday and #ShowMeYourKnits coincide periodically? Then behold: four projects in various stages of discouragement, frustration, and apathy. Details in #ALTtext. Fork donations welcome. (weekly prompts by @livrunsfast.bsky.social)

The first true 'le poisson Steve' cover I have encountered. 💋🤌✨ Original song by @tomomp3 Original animation by @vigzvigz.bsky.social Cover by @oleoandtree.bsky.social #lepoissonsteve #ilestorange #iladesbras #etdesjambes #AIcouldnever #skytok

Why do I have a feeling Le Homme Steve would appreciate Le Poisson Steve? Original song by @tomomp3 Animation by @vigzvigz Full version on YouTube #lepoissonsteve #ilestorange #iladesbras #etdesjambes #aicouldnever #tiktok #tiktokban #skytok #steveburns #bluesclues #stevefrombluesclues #ALTtext

It's 100% a toxic relationship with an abusive parent. A whole system of them, not just 🍊. Don't think Shou's a victim here either - he's playing billionaire games too. Our power is in our many-ness and our dollars. RIP #tiktok 🖤 Options beckon. #tiktokban #tiktokexpat #tiktokrefugee #skylight

I just finished some socks. They feel soft and smooth as honey, plus they sparkle! Charts from the patterns 'Queen Bee Socks' by Megan-Anne Llama and 'Powerflowermai' by DUCATHI, both on #ravelry. #knitsky #skytok #tiktokexpat #tiktokrefugee #royals #lorde #pentatonix

For #ShowMeYourKnits: Baby Edition, I'm switching up the craft. This is #MaydayParker 's hat from Across the #SpiderVerse. The movie art design is so stylized that I decided #crochet would better achieve the vibe and be easier to freehand. #knitsky @livrunsfast.bluesky.social

I sees. I watches. I shares. Every time.

🔉 SOUND ON Stranded colorwork for #ShowMeYourKnits? Here's a #TikTok I made to show off these colorwork mushroom socks! Pattern is 'Champignons' by Natalie Sheldon on #ravelry. @livrunsfast.bsky.social #knitsky #tiktokexpat #tiktokrefugee (I tag Liv just so people can see who runs the game.)

My green project for this week's #ShowMeYourKnits is a cardigan from 4 yrs ago that I made for my friends' baby, whose initials are OM. Pattern adapted from "Paxton" by StitchyMama on #ravelry. #knitsky @livrunsfast.bsky.social

Look, all I'm saying is when #Disney does a #biopic about #HowardAshman they should cast #EthanSlater. #LittleMermaid #BeautyandtheBeast #LittleShopofHorrors #Wicked #Boq #AcademyAwards #Oscars

Welp, so much for that idea. I thought I had Google Play set to only download updates when I choose - I've let them accumulate before. But I was just looking at the "to update" list and TikTok is no longer on it. So it must have auto-updated. Gross. Le sigh.

Ha, no. I refuse to download any post-January 19 #TikTok updates until the app will not function without them. And then I will have a choice to make, and we'll see what the context of that moment holds. #tiktokban #tiktokrefugee #tiktokexpat #censorship #resist #notgoingback

Reposting this wise little thread to boost. My job is to do the work, not self-label.

Today I found #knitsky. Perfect feed to expand my bsky identity beyond #tiktokrefugee. Here's a vid I originally posted on New Year's Eve. Charts from pattern 'Queen Bee Socks' by Megan-Anne Llama on #ravelry. Audio by @veteranknitter.bsky.social. #knit #knitting #knitsocks #handknitsocks #skytok

Correcting our misinterpretation of some events during the fake #tiktok shutdown/rescue. @mrstrafalgarlaw.bsky.social's vid *was* taken down, but restored after appeal. She then chose to take a TT break. She wasn't banned. Her own explanation on YT: youtu.be/uu4ORRPHPQQ #tiktokban #tiktokrefugee

And with this reminder, I realize it's time for me to stop trying to spread awareness for the day. Thank you, Erin. #tiktok #tiktokban #tiktokrefugee

No individual can save everything, but if we each save a little piece, sometimes overlapping, it will help when they try to gaslight us, and future historians will have pieces to build with. @annelisebaer.bsky.social #tiktok #tiktokban #tiktokrefugee #meta #merger #buyout #censorship

I'm not ⚪-passing but I know I have tall privilege and still have some pretty privilege. These are some ways we can be helpers. Just do what you can. 🫂💙 #lookforthehelpers

Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25. That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.

Bless this user for getting a screen recording before the vid was removed and the creator banned. #tiktok #tiktokban #tiktokrefugee #meta #merger #buyout #censorship

Could it be more transparent? The emperor has no clothes. The cake is a lie. #tiktok #tiktokban #tiktokrefugee #meta #merger #buyout

Because you are reading the signs correctly. Today I scrutinized the TT privacy settings and found this. "Sync contacts AND Facebook friends?" That DEF wasn't there before. #tiktok #tiktokban #tiktokrefugee #meta #boburnham #inside #thatfunnyfeeling

Now that Zombie TikTok is up and running, this user accessed and is giving us the direct link to @newmanmusicacademy.bsky.social 's google doc list of key TTers to follow on YouTube. Thank you, Kat Hype! #tiktok #tiktokban #tiktokrefugee

Correcting my earlier confirmation bias: my reposted videos that were missing on Jan 19 post-TikTok return are back as of Jan 20. I now believe this and other observed differences suggest a server migration happened during the shutdown/rescue theatrics. Still sus. #tiktok #tiktokban #tiktokrefugee

I repost on TT in groups of 3 that are related in my head. I can tell vids are now missing from my reposts. One was anti-corporate, the other anti-meta. Y'all start downloading shit. Annelise Baer made a good TT on archiving history; now we do it w/ TT itself. #tiktok #tiktokban #tiktokrefugee
