What up #knitsky, seams are done and edging has started on the big #cabled #knit afghan. Its a little wonky, I haven't done an applied i-cord before so it took a bit to get into the flow. And once again I'm playing yarn chicken. I've 81g of aran-weight yarn to go around ~240" of blanket. #knitting

every time I go into my notifications I cackle when I see this

Since its #wipwednesday, again(?) here's the latest with the big #knit cable blanket. 3 seams to go, and then I'm hoping I've got enough leftover lime green to do an i-cord or some sort of basic crochet edge. And a little detail of one of the seams, it looks pretty good. #knitsky #knitting

absolutely fantastic article

Oh hey #knitsky, its #WIPWednesday and the #knitting is complete on the Big Cabled Afghan, and now we sew! I'm using mattress stitch and joining things in rows of 4. And I just barely won yarn chicken on the last square (the blue & green one).

Yarn chicken fail... again. As I was knitting, I was thinking "gee this square looks wider than the others" the other squares are in the neighbourhood of 10-13" across. This one was over 15", I was #knitting looser & using more yarn than I anticipated. Frogging intarsia is horrible. #knitsky

#Artemis II - A beautiful new image released The Moon, seen here backlit by the Sun during a the solar eclipse. Captured by one of the cameras on Orion’s solar array wings. A bright spot visible below the Moon’s right edge is Saturn. Then a bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars. 🚀🌓🌒

Crossed the halfway point on the last square and I'm loving how it looks (personally I think it looks nicer than my failed first attempt). Plus the backside looks really good! #knitting #knitsky #showmeyourknits

In this week's #knitting adventures, I tried intarsia cabling, lost a game of yarn chicken and decided that the answer is just more intarsia cables. #knitsky #showmeyourknits Details in the alt text (Pattern is Norah's Vintage Afghan, yarn is Aran Sweater Market 3-ply knitting wool)

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

So cool that I get to live through a 3rd Gulf War (plus dozens of other conflicts in the middle east) AND another stock market crash. And what's the common denominator? America and their GOP presidents.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I’d rather lose a hockey game than have an orange asshat in charge of my country.

"We don't have an idea yet as to motive," the RCMP just said. So anyone claiming to know why this happened right now is full of shit. Stop listening to disgusting ghouls with hateful agendas.

I would much rather wait for the facts and the context from careful, professional and trusted media than google for rumours from dubious sources.

There should be a dog show where they don’t have to be purebred or meet any breed or behavior standards, and everyone just admires how cute they are, then everyone gets a prize cause they’re all perfect.

"I’m not even sure it qualifies as a documentary, exactly, so much as an elaborate piece of designer taxidermy, horribly overpriced and ice-cold to the touch and proffered like a medieval tribute to placate the greedy king on his throne."

Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest. ssd.eff.org/module/atte...

I saw this a million years ago and could not stop laughing.

Interesting analysis of Carney’s Davos speech.

I’ve posted this before, but in case you missed it… 📍The eye of a hand sewing needle is larger on one side, than the other. If you have trouble threading your needle, try turning it around. 🪡🧵 I can’t count how many times knowing this has been helpful!! 👏 #quilting #sewing #quiltsky

Since the dumbasses in Washington think Greenland is bigger than it really is, it seems appropriate to re-post this: xkcd.com/977/

No. And if you're entertained by 8 year olds brawling, that says a lot.

this ratio of JD vance is insane lol

The New York Times issued a damning analysis of the video and witness statements of the murder of 37-year-old mother of three Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday. The sadistic agents refused to render aid and even drew guns on a doctor preventing him from helping.

finally done with this #dragonageorigins

Sorry, I didn’t get to any Christmas posts earlier. Here’s one.

It dawned on me earlier, that when I buy a game, I'm buying the results of (many) someone's creativity. Why the heck would I want someone to bypass so much of the creativity when that's the thing I want and am paying money for?

#heatedrivalry is fantastic and I hope it'll lead to more pro (male) athletes coming out

Man I kinda feel bad for the E33 team. Imagine creating your first game from scratch, winning the most awards of any game at the event ever, and people are just furious about it online. Criticize the event itself, sure, but those devs did nothing wrong to deserve that hate. They made a good game

Congratulations to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for winning GOTY :) <3

And it's done. In this quilt, I tried to convey the sun rising though the clouds with hints of color breaking through. What do you thin? #artquilt #hope #abstractfiber #piecedart

Ah sorry, amid all the wobbegong love I missed this! Wobbegong or goosefish? I don’t know. There are twelve species of wobbegong, and to my great shame I cannot identify all of them. But that thing here below is definitely a wobbegong and wobbegongs remain rad as hell bsky.app/profile/harr...
