My sock knitting life is so much happier thanks to these wee metal rings! I count texture rows with the number ones and knit and decrease gussets and toes with the K and D ones. (Link in comments.) Pattern is Raya Sock. Yarn is Corn Cobweb by The Sheepyshire. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky #showmeyourknits

My greatest joys come from making things with my hands. These garlic braids are not perfect, but the experience of making them is very perfect indeed. 🌱 #Gardensky #Gardening #Garlic #Harvest #Strawflowers #Bloomscrolling #Home

Strawflowers are so cool. I picked and am now drying these for garlic braids and fall color inside... The more you cut, the more they bloom! #Gardensky #Gardening #Strawflowers

Lots of sage means that we have butter and sage pasta in our future... 😊 (I remembered I had these crazy rain boots so just added them to my garden fun!) 🌱 #Gardensky #Gardening #Sage

Hey so, if you use Waymo driverless car services, you are aiding and abetting fascism. Waymo helps ICE agents locate people to terrorize and abduct. The company willingly shares all facial recognition, license plate and GPS data with ICE and other law enforcement agencies—no subpoena required.

Welcome to Sock Mountain, the growing pile of socks on my wee knitting table. 🧶 #Knitsky #Knitting #Socks #Maker #ShowMeYourKnits #WithMyHands #Handknit

We bought a few new delphinium plants at the Rochester (NY) Public Market this morning. I planted them right away and will love them for years to come. (We also ate breakfast empanadas and blackberry hand pies, so it was a perfect day!) #RochesterPublicMarket #Gardening #GardenSky #Bloomscrolling 🌱

Last minute lunch guests call for making a tiny table bouquet from the garden. But which ones are real flowers...and which ones are printed on the cloth? #Bloomscrolling #GardenSky #Gardening #Home #Vintage 🌱🌻🌼🌺🌸🌷

And so it begins. I went out to water the zillion (free to lucky me) dahlia tubers this morning and saw that raspberries are beginning to ripen. Berry picking will now kick off my mornings. I will eat these, but soon the daily harvests will be jambound! 🌱 #GardenSky #Berries #Summer

It's a hot day to be a knitting assistant. #CatsOfBlueSky #Cats #Knitting #KnitSky #Summer #WesternNY #Claude #HisTailIsMonet 🧶🌱

Ah...the colors and tastes of summer! I needed to harvest spinach to make way for some dahlia tuber gifts...and I also needed an early garlic bulb for tuna salad. #GardenSky #Garlic #Spinach #Summer #Thankful

These delightful foxgloves are hanging on, and I cannot thank them enough. It is good to avert my eyes from the invading lupine aphids. Thank you, Foxgloves! #GardenSky #Foxgloves #Bloomscrolling #CountryLife
