Haven’t been posting as I have needed to stay away from any sort of media to get my head straight but I HAVE been #knitting #showmeyourknits 🧶

Working on three WIPs right now just to keep my hands busy and my brain distracted. Knitting is my meditation. 🧶

Happy New Year to all!

It’s nearly here…Hope you all finish your Xmas gift knits in time 🧶 #knit

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

Knitting away on this stranded countdown scarf. One week to go. It’s the 2024 Advent by Suzie Ashworth. WIP Wednesday #knitting

There’s something about starting my day by walking in the canyon……

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. — Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

A lovely night at Zoo Lights and a rare opportunity to wear a knit scarf.

who vilified community college? bc here in Oakland you can take classes on anything for cheap or even free and it's an unmitigated good and even though I took those classes in high school and benefited from them I left feeling like adults who take them are losers and that SUCKS

We’re getting there! Help us beat them. Everyone who likes and reposts this will get a follow back!

Knitting away on this Bojagi Shawl. Great travel knitting. Just enough to keep my attention but not so much I need the pattern open constantly.

This is what the barrel cactus looks like when it’s going into bloom. This is right down the street from me. They are pretty ugly the rest of the year, but I appreciate them for this. 🌱 🪶 🌵 🌺 #cacti #tucson #barbs

who has two thumbs and is never posting on x again? this God 👍😇👍

Knitting is cool! Elizabeth Taylor knits. 🧶 #knit #knitted #knitting #knitter #elizabethtaylor #vintage #icon #actor #actress #movies #childactor

Went into see lights in St Augustine last night and then walked across Lion Bridge before calling Uber because traffic was absolutely mad.

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

At my sister’s house in Florida for thanksgiving. Temps about the same as Tucson but much more humid! Happy turkey time to all who celebrate

Can I coordinate or what? #knitting

I knit #04 Cable Scarf by Hannah Wallace (on Ravelry and in Knit Simple Magazine, Holiday 2012) in Kid Silk. It's lightweight & frothy in reality. I gifted it to my bestie & have another in a bronze on the needles for me. #knitting #knit #knitted #scarf #hannahwallace #martamccall #knitter #mohair

Packing for week at my sister’s. Knitting and SteamDeck - what else do I need?

Do not obey in advance. PASS IT ON.

I hope your weekend is full of knitting, or anything else that makes you happy! 🧶 #knitting #showmeyourknits

One of my favourite poems.

The blueberry puffed pancakes my husband just made for our Saturday brunch. Let the day begin!

Me, “I have all these cozy games I COULD play today… Or, I could play Skyrim again.” At this point Skyrim should count as a cozy game. Like seriously.

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

You could save a life with a simple repost!

There are advantages to living in the desert. One is sitting on the patio in the afternoon sipping tea and knitting when it is 80F and watching the long shadows settle over the wash. Another is then going back out at 9PM when it is 53F and sitting in the hot tub under a crystal-clear sky. Happy Fri!

Yuko and I are at the pub for lunch. 1 fav = 1 chip for Yuko 1 rt = 1 sip of beer for Yuko

A friendly reminder to be gentle with retail workers this holiday season

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Unpopular opinion: We should normalize knitting during long meetings in the winter. I know a few folks who turn their cameras off to knit, let make it new normal 🧶

I find it very funny that troll and rage baiting accounts pretty much suffocate on Blue Sky. No one is engaging with them, people are just blocking them.

Hmmm. Swatching with this lovely yarn but not sure I can get gauge with it for Laura Nelkin’s La Jefa sweater. It may be too light of a lace. We shall see. #knitting

Sick cultures show a complex of symptoms such as you have named … but a dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot. ― Robert A. Heinlein

Speaks for itself. 🧶 #knitting

🧶 I’m at my knitting group at a fellow hospice social worker’s home and I finished my monarch cowl!! #craftsky #loomknitting #socialworkersknitting

Absolutely

Hey MAGA, You now have the WH, the House, the Senate, and SCOTUS… That means YOUR party is responsible for every problem in America now. If gas isn’t $1.50. If eggs aren’t $1 a carton. If inflation doesn’t plummet… We’ll be waiting to remind you that you were conned a SECOND time. -All of us.

Finished this sweater a couple of weeks ago. Working on a matching scarf #showmeyourknits

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Well, I found this place and tried to find my people. Back to knitting tonight.

Raw unvarnished truth here.
