3 knitted accessories from 3 different designers in 1 beautiful yarn. Yarn: Blue Barn Fiber - Squishy Sock in the "Northwest" colorway. Cowl: "Forest Dragon" by @redandthewolf.bsky.social Hat: "Cannetella" by @woollywormhead.bsky.social Gloves: "Suainte" by @lizcorkeknits.bsky.social #Knitting 🧶

youtube.com/shorts/Phkw2... This is the "Solar Flair Shawl" by designer @leelamary.bsky.social . I finished in December, blocked it in January, but never got good pics. I entered it into the County Fair last month, which finally motivated me to capture this #BriocheKnit shawl in all its glory.

#FOFriday My #CivitasSpiralisKAL shawl from designer @needlefoxarts.bsky.social is finished, blocked, and ready to wear! 🎉 I used Zebra fingering from Always Be Kind Yarn. I love these soft colors with the pops of black. I figured out that folding the shawl in half makes it easy to wear. #Knitting 🧶

I have a growing pile of finished knit & crochet projects that need to be blocked before I can wear them. First in line is the #CivitasSpiralisKAL shawl that was bound off over a week ago. It's fun pinning this unusual shape into place. #Knitting 🧶 #KnitSky

Slight aurora glow as seen from rural Western Oregon at approx 1:30 a.m. on June 1st, 2025. Taken using "Night Mode" on my Google Pixel phone. 1st pic is facing North. 2nd pic I am laying on the ground, lol. Not bad for a phone camera... #GeomagneticStorm #SolarFlare #AuroraBorealis #NightSky

#NewWIP I cast on a slightly modified version of the "Niobe Jumper" by Kari Helene-Rane. I'm holding sock yarn with a fuzzy laceweight to get gauge, and I modified the construction slightly to start with a provisional cast on instead of trying to work Kitchener St. at the end. #Knitting 🧶 #KnitSky

A baby hummingbird was found on the farm today, fallen from the nest. The folks fed it sugar water from a syringe and set it in a small box in a tree so it is visible to the other hummingbirds. The cute little thing is super sleepy now that it has a full belly. 💚 #FarmLife #Hummingbird #Wildlife

#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 💜Purple💜 (Pt. 2) My most recent finished sweater is "Roseability" by @victoriamarchant.bsky.social . This was a quick knit despite the intricate lace pattern: started and finished in March 2025. I used DK yarn from @yarnaceous.bsky.social in the colorway "Purple Roar". #Knitsky

#ShowMeYourKnits 💜 Purple 💜 🧶 A masterpiece from early in my #Knitting journey is the "Madeleine Shawl" by @janicacarter.bsky.social . Finished in 2020, knit with Malabrigo Sock yarn. A more recent FO is "Faded Andromeda Wings" by Yumi Yarns. I knit this in Dec 2023 using Blu Fiber Co. Cashmerino.

Weekly progress pic for the #CivitasSpiralisKAL This lovely shawl from @needlefoxarts.bsky.social is growing! I have used almost half of my yarn. 🧶 #Knitting #Knitsky

Progress on my #CivitasSpiralisKAL shawl by @needlefoxarts.bsky.social I love the seahorse tail shape that is emerging as this WIP grows longer and wider. 😍 This is definitely a #PotatoChipKnit : "Just 1 more repeat, and then maaaaybe I will put it down." 🤣 #Knitting 🧶 #Knitsky

#FOFriday I finally got pics of this #BriocheKnit project I finished last month. 🧶 Pattern: Diamonds of the Universe by @paolaknits.bsky.social Yarn: Blu Fiber Co. - Cashmerino Sock in "Venus" and "Absolute". #Knitting #Knitsky #Brioche #Shawl #AstrologyInArt #WearableArt

The #CivitasSpiralisKAL starts today and I am already loving this #knit shawl project from designer @needlefoxarts.bsky.social I'm using Always Be Kind Yarn in a colorway dyed for the brand new LYS @stringfieldyarn.bsky.social . This shawl celebrates community and I am excited to participate. 🧶

Better late than never. Here is my finished "Cuairteagan", a super long syncopated brioche cowl from designer @lizcorkeknits.bsky.social . I cast this on in February for the blue themed #SkyKAL , but I missed the deadline. Yarn is Blu Fiber Company - Sock in "Peregrine" and "Echo 21". #Knitting 🧶 💙

I finally cast on the "Cuairteagan" syncopated brioche cowl for #SkyKAL. 💙🧶 I'm only a few rounds in, but this is proving to be a lovely #MeditativeKnitting project with easy to memorize stitch repeats. I've been enjoying the process while watching the snow fall. #Knitting #KnitSky

#ShowMeYourKnits FO from Dec 2023. 3-Color BRIOCHE Cables, with stranded colorwork. 🤯 This is "Dulcify" by Synaptic Stitches. This hat project is NOT for the faint of heart. I had to tink back multiple times, and I cried. 😭 But the end result is 🤩, and this #GiftKnit has been well worn . #KnitSky

#ShowMeYourKnits I finished this cabled cardigan for my partner last Autumn. The pattern is "Fisherman Shawl Collar" by Mari Sweaters, and I used Hikoo Sueño yarn. This project was intense! The pattern came with written instructions only, so I translated them into Stitchfiddle charts. #KnitSky

I just found out about #SkyKAL a Bluesky community make-a-long with a blue yarn theme. 💙🧶This is great motivation for me to finally cast on the "Cuairteagan" brioche cowl by @lizcorkeknits.bsky.social using these gorgeous skeins from BluFiber Company. www.lizcorke.com/product/cuai...

My attempts to view any cosmic events in Western Oregon -- This afternoon: "The sky's been clear all day! Let's drive to the top of the mountain to see the giant comet!" 😁 Sunset: "There are some clouds on the horizon, but maybe we can see the comet." 🤞 Mountaintop at dusk: Totally overcast. 🤦

I just learned about this curated list that identifies bot accounts on Bluesky. You can block or mute the whole list by hitting the Subscribe button at the top. Much gratitude to the humans doing this work! 🙏 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Hello to all of the crafty yarn lovers of Bsky! 🧶 Today I am sharing my finished "Himbeerwellen" mitts, a sideways-constructed slip-stitch #Crochet pattern by Osswald Design. This was the last project I cast-on in 2024 for the #FastenOffYAL and is my first finished WIP entry for the #BingoYAL2025. ❤️

Outfit of the Day. My Kamala tee, an old @woollywormhead.bsky.social hat that captures a distinctive feline vibe, and my newly finished fingerless gloves. I am on a mission to reclaim the color Red. #OOTD #WWSquareTopHat #MadamePresident

Yesterday I cast on my first brand new project of 2025. This is a heavily modified version of "Maze Socks" by Sarah Shepherd from the Knit Picks collection "Rockin' Socks". I have a love/hate relationship with #SockKnitting. But the mods I am implementing here may be key to getting a good fit. 🤞

The latest update I have found regarding the unprecedented eathquake activity and the impending eruptions of 2 long dormant volcanoes in the Ethiopian rift zone. If anyone knows of organizations trying to help evacuees, please share below. youtu.be/2CcnJuO5QnQ?...

What game are they playing? 45: Monopoly Heritage Foundation: Othello Musk: Risk Biden, Harris & Team: Mousetrap 🤫 I still have faith in Dark Brandon and our Madame President.

I finally got pics of my first 2 finished knitting projects for the 2025 #FastenOffYAL. The "Arkenstone" sweater & "Arkenstone Hat" were designed by Orchard House Editing and Design. I love the combo of the intricate stitch pattern & overall shape of the sweater, plus the crown detail on the hat! 💙

Where is JD Vance, you ask? He's been sent back to The Dollhouse to download yet another personality for his next hired mission. He will come out of his dormant state soon. That's my nerdy psychic hit.

Shameless self-promotion, lol. I posted a video early this morning. My YT channel is fairly new, and I don't mind if it grows slowly. But this video is a message from the HEART and I feel it would be beneficial to spread it beyond my current audience. Thank you. 🌈 youtu.be/JqGLKZ50JXY?...

So I'm curious... How do people actually FEEL in regard to the recent "drone" and UAP sightings across the globe? Disregard for a moment what you THINK about them. Personally, I feel curious, imaginative, excited, uplifted. If this is just a distraction, I welcome it. This mystery feels FUN.
