Still knitting small. It feels good. I love this color, took the Rowan Felted Tweed Color I got years ago for a coat that never happened (ha!) and added whatever one skein or leftover yarn was in the red-purple DK/worsted box. Very nice to the touch. Grainy, a bit squishy.

This is so important

Everything is still available. I know I need to post this information daily. But brain is not braining when it is required. #bsnm #nightmarket #pwd 🧶

Every location has a picket line in front of it. Don’t cross the line.

girlies is it wrong to like The Man In Black

Angeline Boulley just published another novel, set in the same verse as Fire Keeper's Daughter, and Warrior Girl Unearthed. Sisters in the Wind kept me up until 7am. Too tired to say much else, but I rec all of them. They deal with really hard to bear topics, but they aren't doomfests #booksky

This man needs healthcare, housing, and A JOB DRIVING BUSES. Let him drive!!

Why is my yarn wet? Oh… 🐱🧶💙 #crochet

I added a featured items thing to my Etsy store #etsyseller 🧶 jackiesyarnproducts.etsy.com ko-fi.com/jackie_m_fem...

Dear #BlackSky, I am looking for the #BlackKnitters to follow. Have you all seen any lately? This seems like the perfect time for it. With hopes, ChickGoneCrafty. #Strictly4MyKnittas (wyte ppl, don't you dare)

I already showed the wip for this vest in #showmeyourknits. 🧵 So here is the finished vest. It was my first time doing Intarsia and completely free handing a piece of clothing. 🧵 #knitting #knitsky #autumn

Pattern Test Call! My nerdy sweater is finally ready! Named in honor of Alexey Pajitnov, the inventor of the game Tetris, this sweater blends fair-isle colorwork with interlocking geometric shapes. Test will be on Ravelry; DM for more info! #knitting #knitsky #patterntest #yarnlove #sweaterknitting

Okay folks, a question: Do you prefer duplicate stitch or instarsia? I've been seeing patterns lately where the colorwork is all duplicate stitch, even large sections that I would have done as intarsia. What do you think? And yes, this is a Boba Fett cup cozy. 😀 #knitsky #handmade #knit #knitting

The coat story has a nice side plot, though. I decided to give my Entertainer pullover that I knit last winter and loved quite a bit to my mom. It had gotten too tight in shoulders and belly. And it looks lovely on her, as if I made it for her. It also feels a bit like setting the score on that one

Tell me you hate fat and/or trans women without telling me. This is a German slow fashion store from Leipzig that prides itself on their ethical production (in Leipzig and in collab with a workshop in Poland, fair wages, green fabrics etc). I ordered from them a few times, but half the time I had

A new psychological study I wrote about has lots of interesting insights on how queer, trans, and nonbinary parents raise their kids (and why they're kinda better than cisgender ones... no, really). www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/11/grou...

This is really cool, thank you for sharing! I just sent it to my enbyfriend to mull over :) I really like the genderless/gendered nonbinary distinction for myself, too!

I'm not sure where they are located. Suggestions? Self-promo? ;-)

Update: my mom and I went to the shop,tried on the dark red coat I've been eyeing. It is specifically designed for cis women with breasts and narrow shoulders. It's nice that it has bust darts for the larger sizes, but it absolutely doesn't work for me. The rest was beige and beige and some grey for

The entire essay is worth reading, whether you are in Portugal or the United States, but I'm going to share a passage at length in English because it needs to be known. "...we can overcome this current by understanding its weaknesses. Its first weakness is the arrogance of the ruling class."

I'm really enjoying painting postcards. And a friend of mine loves #Aarhus public library DOKK1. Often times she stays there til the evening, so I painted it as a night scene. Truly a wonderful place! #watercolor #postcard #traditionalart #library #denmark #landscape #art #artsky #blueskyart

Hey, say something nice to your internet pals today, okay? We're all overwhelmed all the time with so much negativity, it can be nice to consciously break that.

Queer people who won’t stand in solidarity with other queer people even if they have differences are literally no different to cis straight allies and you know my opinion of those people Fuck these people dude, just stand up for your brothers sisters and non-binary weirdos (pos) for ONCE in yr life

Pedro, sharing the good shares, and keeping it real.

This medievalist doesn't just study dragons, I sometimes knit them. Just finished this #dragontalecowl I chose colors from the #BookOfKells collection "Mossy Marginalia" & "Radiant Golden Brown" inspired by a 16thc Black figure. 🧶 100% merino DK & a sparkle blend. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #yarnsky

I realized yesterday that all my winter coats no longer fit me. Ugh. Now I can think about whether I go in layers of handknits the whole winter (cool femme, but sometimes a bit frumpy), or keep to my inherited leather jacket (cool, but too short for freezing tram station), or layer handknit with my

Anyone (or multiple someones) with €1.7M+ wanna buy a village in Portugal and turn it into a queer, ecosocialist community? 41 rehabbed dwellings & a restaurant going up for auction soon. Save this village from being turned into "luxury eco-resorts, tourist villages, or wine tourism" please!

I have decided not to finish a book. You can rant about how constructed and unrealistic epic novels with happy/positive endings are all you want, but the chances of tragedy after tragedy befalling the same three people living between four empires and their monarchs and always at each other's hands

Froggy protest hat. I will publish this as a free pattern on Ravelry in the next week or so. It’s worsted weight, and a very quick knit! #showmeyourknits #knittersofbluesky

The moment when you realize you can re-knit and rewrite that part of your design from 2ys ago bc wth were you thinking??? 😅 #knittingdesign #knitsky 🧶

Our #intersex book pick for November 2025 is Flawless Girls by Anna-Marie McLemore! It's a fun YA fantasy/horror/thriller with an intersex main character. We'll be meeting Nov 28 at 16:00 Eastern / 21:00 UTC. Info on how to join us: www.tumblr.com/inter...#intersex#ActuallyIntersex #Booksky #QueerBooks

This You need to have that ear on the ground or close to someone with good antennae to get out *before* they make leaving really difficult. (As in: *before* seizing your property and making you pay a horrendous fee in order to leave, permitting 50€ in cash per person...)

There’s a growing cottage industry of journalists and influencers whose job it is to sell you “don’t panic, panicking is just what people want you to do. It isn’t that bad yet.” And frankly we should have as much or more skepticism towards them than the panic people. They’re selling complacency.

Ah, the annual extortion drive

You ever just see a woman in her 50s enjoying a hug a little too much? Like it’s really giving her life, like a lizard under a sun lamp, like a hippie hugging a tree that’s under threat, like a child who lost track of their mother in the supermarket but found her?

If knitting was an Olympic sport, we’d definitely win at...  Colour coordinating our yarn!🧶   What about you #Knitsky, what would be your gold medal skill?

After having watched the second episode, I think Game of Wool is Walmart and what I really want is Neiman Marcus. I want a TV show with good independent knitwear designers given enough time to knit and crochet really well-constructed high fashion. GoW is fun but unserious as far as fashion goes 🧶

Okay folks. This week only starting today I will donate half of the proceeds from knitting pattern sales through my payhip shop to our local food bank. The other half will stay with me to help get our little family through all this cuz it's still rough out there. payhip.com/knit1roll20

#booksky can someone explain to me whether @thestorygraph.com is using genAI for anything? I tried finding info on the site but was either looking in the wrong place or missed sth. I'm considering using it, but I won't if they support this AI slop bubble

!!!!! #KnitSky #CraftSky 🧶

This is such a beautiful idea! 🧶 trans and queer yarnies, I'm sure we have sth to contribute :)

The fact that slightly less convenience in air travel broke their resolve is foul.

For tonight I'm probably doing one of these two, a Carter Gable sock by @disturbingthefleece.com or a Dancing through life sock by Lisa K Ross (she is doing these great mini skein wraps). I like working on a small project after finishing a large one :) #showmeyourknits

A bit of fun with colourwork. Anatolian, Faroese, Fair Isle and Latvian (braid) patterns all cobbled together for one glorious Christmas sweater. Here it's still on the needles. Pics of finished sweater to follow. #ShowMeYourKnits #knitting #knitsky #StrandedColorwork #SweaterWeather

#showmeyourknits it is WiPs this week. I’ve had to interrupt the WaterDrop jumper for my daughter in favour of test knitting patterns and writing up class-notes for a workshop I’ll be running (in Sydney - comment if you are interested). More in Alt Texts #handknit

#ShowMeYourKnits My current #WIP is a #mathart exhibition piece that I’m still keeping mostly under wraps, but here’s a sneak peek. The knitting is nearly complete; the blocking and mounting will take a few days on their own. 🧶 #knitsky #mathknit #mathknitting #symmetries

This is foul. She should be getting per use royalties
