Hi Knitters! I'm looking for test knitters for my new Spare Rib sock pattern. They're in dk with a garter rib leg, so they're a quick knit. Deadline: Halloween (October 31st) More information on Ravelry: www.ravelry.com/discuss/the-... #testknit #sockknitting #knitsky #knitting #blueskyknitting

Breakfast of Hermiston watermelon, plums from a friend's tree, garden cucumbers, gift of fancy meats and cheeses. Summer is delicious.

Rick said, "I sent you a picture of a liverwort reproduction structure that I saw while waiting for the G Line". We looked it up. It's called a gametophyte, and it's very cool. #naturephotos #liverwort #photos #seattle

I know it's just statistical, but the moment I type the letters BS into my browser, it says, You mean bluesky, right?

Few things are more satisfying than finding someone who has discovered one of my translations months or years after its initial publication, and given it a thoughtful and appreciative review. #xl8 #books #translation #booksky #finland Fishing for the Little Pike open.substack.com/pub/cheryllo...

This initiative to establish universal health care in Washington State sounds pretty great. wholewashington.org/faq/

This eloquent and humanistic take on the importance of inclusion and persuasion is one of the best political conversations I've ever heard. Highly recommended. #nokings #Democrats #politics www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/o...

Summer weeds and summer foods. #food #flowers #photos #summer

Amazing.

I'm new to designing knitting patterns, and I still get tickled every time someone posts a photo of a project made with my pattern. Is this something that wears off with time? I hope not. #knitsky #knitting #sockknitting

I went to visit friends and family in my old hometown of Spokane this weekend. Had a lovely time. #nokings #spokane

A lovely appreciation of the beloved Moomins with fellow translators and fans at worldkidlit for World Refugee Week. #xl8 #worldrefugeeweek #Moomins

Looks like we might be doing the No Kings rally in Spokane. Kind of psyched! www.nokings.org

Through Finland in Carts, by Mrs. Alec-Tweedie, is a very fun book in the intrepid woman traveler tradition, published in 1897. This woman has a gusto for new experiences. #booksky #womenwriters #travelwriting #finland www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/27743

A purple-ish hat I made for my niece a couple of years ago. I wasn't satisfied with the brim seam, but I like the button. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knittedhats

A peaceful afternoon in the old growth along the White River.

Knitpicks is having a sale on sock yarn, and it seems to include all the yarns I used in the Monocot socks, so if anybody's hoping to make a pair just like the ones in the pictures, now's your chance. #knitsky #sockknitting #knitting www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... www.knitpicks.com

This week's #showmeyourknits is gifts, you say? Here's a little pouch full of tiny gifts that I made a couple of weeks ago. #knitsky #knitting

Hands Off protest participants confronted by gun-toting maga dude in Idaho Falls. Proud of southern Idaho. #handsoff

I got an email requesting I click to confirm I'll be there, and the site took forever to load. I assume that's because everybody and their dog are going to this thing. : ) #handsoff www.mobilize.us/handsoff/eve...

Wall Street wondering whether these tariffs are "a tool for negotiations with other countries" or for "wresting manufacturing jobs back to the United States". Are they serious? He's starring in a reality show. He wants people to come crawling to him, begging to be spared. apnews.com/article/stoc...

I found four of my translations in the pirated dataset Meta used to build their machine translation programs. You can search the set here to find out if they stole your work too: www.theatlantic.com/.../search-l...

BREAKING: The Canadian Anthem is now blasting on speakers outside the White House.

Genius marketing. Make them use crappy machine translation, whether they like it or not.

I hear it's green week for #showmeyourknits. Here are my most recent green things. Yes, it's more socks. #knitsky #knitting #sockknitting

I was interviewed for Suomenkuvalehti (!), but I can't open the article online, even when I offer to pay for it. Must be because I'm not in Finland? The author's sending me a hard copy, though.

Knitters talk like gangsters, about how they lost at yarn chicken on the bind-off and had to frog their wip and bust some lys stash. #knitting #knitsky

King County Metro replaced my perfectly good bus shelter with one just like it, but without walls. I can only assume this is to keep the riffraff from getting any respite from the cold. So now we all freeze. Any other Seattleites noticing this problem? #seattle #kingcounty #kingcountymetro

New blog post about my sock "invention". #knitting #knitsky #sockknitting lookyknits.blog/2025/02/28/b...

"What we just saw is the largest mass noncompliance with Elon Musk (so far)... The resistance starting from workers and unions went largely unnoticed and unreported — meaning Americans had little chance to see and understand how people power really works."

My secret plan to convert knitters of the world to a comfier sock is working! #knitsky #knitting #sockknitting bsky.app/profile/mcgl...

A reminder for these times.
