@flintdibble.bsky.social , you may already know about this project including zooarcheology in Scotland. I send it in case you or your students might find it useful or interesting and don't yet know about it. youtu.be/ijSVEJFTDa0?...

The spread of viruses, like misinformation.

This week is purple, and most of these have been shown before.

A very pretty pattern. It looks cozy to wear.

Don't let your senses go numb from the countless atrocities Don't let your heart harden — open it even wider reach deep inside let the wordtide ebb and flow Writing beauty into the world is not an act of escapism — It is a form of resistance. #beauty #resilience #resistance #poetry #community

State and national parks are amazing treasures. #parks #statepark #beach #vitamind

My father (🇩🇪) is 94. He says he cannot watch the news any more as he is so disappointed in the US democracy, and he cannot understand why one person is allowed to bring the entire world down. They were the saviours in 1945. It is very sad to watch this at the dawn of his life.

Celtic cable neckwarmer for cables for this week's #showmeyourknits. It's wool #handdyed with pokeweed and #handspun . If you zoom in, you might be able to see occasional purple from the bits that hadn't changed to brown yet. This was gifted in December. #🧶

This is so well done. 👌

Socks for #showmeyourknits this week! I've been enjoying having sock projects to work on as patient, waiting in line projects. This latest pair (not in photos yet), though, requires far more concentration. All of these socks are actually finished in pairs, despite appearances #🧶 #indiedtedyarn #knit

Am I the only one that looked at the leftover egg dye and said, "I wonder if .."? #handyedyarn #yarn #eggdyes #indiedyedyarn

Colorwork for #showmeyourknits this week. Having repeatedly posted much of my prior FOs, I'm stretching a bit with this new stuff (two colors held together are color work?). The greens are swatches for a future project from upcycled deadstock. Other deets in alt. #knit #knitsky

I've been doing a sample spin with this blend of rambouillet and silk. I'm absolutely loving it! It feels like magic watching this fairy fliss appear with a little twist.

Well done. #NoKings

My poster for No Kings March tomorrow.

Today is #NoKings day. Find your local event at NoKings.org. ✊

Go make some good trouble today. 💚

Finished the #melttheice hat in time for the protests today. #🧶 #knit

@isasaxonists.bsky.social , did you do a yarn inspired by this young woman? It looks familiar, like maybe the yarn was inspired from her dress. It's later than many of your chosen works, but I thought you might like to see the article. Hope you are well. www.theartnewspaper.com/2026/03/24/a...

I don't normally post video links, but this one is really interesting. #🧶 #knitsky #knit youtu.be/UyDkmYuTYDo?...

I should create more with green. It's a good color that I just don't reach for enough. Details in alt text. @mile-wide-crafts.bsky.social hand dyed yarn. ravel.me/connecticut-... is a free pattern for scarf and shawl. #indiedyedyarn #🧶 #knit #showmeyourknits

@belovedofoizys.bsky.social I've been enjoying your first few Ancient History 101 podcasts. I hope you will eventually expand them beyond the Med., as there's so much to learn in the rest of the world. 1/5

A #handspun experiment with some #handdyed combed top. The red is wool dyed with pokeweed berries. The green is commerical dyed combed top. The white is the "cotton?" from the top of the medicine bottle. The spindle is made from a burning bush twig and salt dough. It will be called Christmas snow.

What's on my needles? Too much that's not yet finished... Details in the alt text. #showmeyourknits #🧶 #knit #indiedyedyarn

Sweaters are some of my favorite projects, mostly sweaters for other people. Here are some from the last year. Details are in the Alt. #showmeyouknits #🧶 #knit #knitsky

So, it's only just started, but it's another one for #showmeyourknits in lace. This is the Connecticut River Scarf & shawl in the scarf size again. The yarn is from @3stitchesshort.bsky.social . I've held a grey together with the first skein of a yarn bundle. 3stitchesshort.com #🧶 #knitsky #knit

Garter stitch lace is a fun intro to the art. This pattern is for a scarf or a rectangular shawl, and it's reasonably beginner friendly. I knit the sample for the pattern from Mile Wide Crafts cotton boucle. Oh, and it's a free pattern. Deets in alt. #showmeyouknits #indiedyedyarn #🧶 #knit

Looking for opinions: Is there enough contrast here for color work to show? #knit #🧶 #handdyedyarn #knitsky #crochet #colorwork

In case you missed it…here’s the facts-only version of SOTU

I don't feel the need to watch the SOTU. I can spin my own yarns, like this one. The wool is a little light when dry. It's wool dyed with walnut. #🧶 #indiedyedyarn #handspun #handyedyarn

@uplandfiberco.bsky.social You got lovely mentions in the podcast. youtu.be/SpTHjX2f230?...

I'm enjoying how this yarn is coming out. The colorful bits are an art batt from KO Knits. The black is Shetland from a fleece I've been working through. The sparkly bits don't show well in this photo. I'm thinking this will make an excellent statement piece. Any suggestions? #handspun #🧶 #spindle

I will say, if you've never booed a committee of bigoted lawmakers before, you've never lived. Bonus points if you do it without looking up from your knitting needles. Extra bonus points if y'all get threatened by the chair.

I'm working on a certain hat, commonly knitted in Red. However, I also made a winter fire hat and matching mittens for a family member. #showmeyourknits #🧶 #knit

So, we decided to ply this with some Shetland (the natural black fleece I've been working through had some really short bits) that was carded and spindle spun. We like how the art batt bits pop against the black. I like that I'm using some of the small bits of the fleece. #handspun #🧶 #handspin

I decided to treat myself to something I've not used before. This is a batt of mixed fibers (animal, vegetable, and sparkle) spun on a spindle made from discarded mahogany. It's been fun so far. Did I buy fiber after dying 500 g of top last week? Umm, no comment... #handspin #spindle #artyarn #🧶

A potential research topic: Many people, especially women, have a consistent body temperature that is lower than 98.7 °F. If body temperature is lower, it probably is an adaptation to using fewer calories to keep warm. It also means caloric intake recs are wrong. Thoughts? #🧪

One more try to do it correctly.... Reposting for wider viewership. #handyedyarn #indiedyedyarn

The skylight in this building is amazing! This is where the Farm and Fiber Festival was held today in Boston. The festival was lovely. The parking situation was expensive and distant from the location, if you were able to find it.

Quote this post with a knit that starts with the next letter of the alphabet. #showmeyourknits S: sock Knitted following Summer Lee's forethought heel style sock. The second sock is just past the heel sacrificial yarn.

Some experiments in snow dyeing. I'm not sure that I used enough dye on most of these. <Sigh> I suppose that's the nature of experimentation. I'll know better when they're finished... #handdyedyarn #indiedyedyarn #🧶

Will they start with New Haven, CT? Its local airport hosts only that one airline...

@andertoon.bsky.social , I would love to see a cartoon of Punxsutawney Phill diving back into his hole, cowering from the shadows of an armed military type, with a reporter announcing "Well folks, looks like 6 more weeks of ice." I'm a terrible artist; please use this idea at your discretion or not.

Some grey I've been working with over the last couple of months. Details in the alt. The purple heeled sock is an experimental dye job from @mile-wide-crafts.bsky.social . The solids are knit picks stroll #showmeyourknits #🧶 #knit #knitsky #indiedyedyarn #handdyed

Hurray! An article that answers my questions, and they were the right answers for me. :) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
