Naturalists one-upping yarn bombing! #SciArt 🧶🐡

Sale! Did someone say sale? On 🇨🇦dyed fibre 🧶and needles. I love this boutique store #blueskyknits bistitchual.ca There website is great. My order is placed.

Adam is 💯 right. I've been sewing since I was a kid thanks to the women in my family but because of sewing I can fabricate metal components with scrap metal, do carpentry, building and more. Welding is another field related to sewing. 🧶 🪡🧵 #makers Adam Savage

For this week's #ShowMeYourKnits theme of purple, here's my proudest project: self-striping sock yarn 🧶 in the Asexual flag colors for my kid. I could wish the purple stripes were less red, but for a first attempt I can't complain. The Kiddo still loves to wear these.

I'm a bit stuck and overwhelmed by ideas rn, so for #showmeyourknits I'll present the essence of the beginning and ending: a swatch and the ends I've woven in. The swatch is @isasaxonists.bsky.social merino/bamboo/silk in King Chaleb, 20st/10cm on 4mm wooden needles. The bottle is 1y of knitting

Good old internet mash stuff together without AI bs. :D

I'm currently absorbed in a #stashbuster blanket, and reached a spot where I thought i was gonna add purples. But then I decided to throw in some deep pinks to set up a very strong purple 💜 It's a cheat, so I'll add a follow up chicken post. #ShowMeYourKnits #MenWhoKnit #queerknitters #knitsky

I can tell who wrote this headline and who this headline is referring to, despite the way it tries to generalize. Also, generational tribalism is bullshit.

And add a teaspoon of salt to your morning coffee

I think this is accurate but no one wants to think about it bc if ppl w testes had to imagine what happens to our ovaries & how it feels, they’d have to rethink a whole hell of a lot about the world. Tho I’m grateful my 12yr old guy friends took my word for it when I described my first period cramps

Cowl week on #showmeyourknits !Here’s my fingering weight Shift Cowl (Andrea Mowry). I LOVE cowls & this is a favorite. The lighter yarn makes it a good option for warmer climates. Yarn: Zauberball Crazy, Farmers Daughter Fibers Soka’pii, & the Angora Moose 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

On my quest for a simple warm weather tee graded on a cis men's size chart, I came across this one: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... Unfortunately, it's only in Spanish, but winelvi told me he plans to translate it. My impression is that there really aren't many of those on rav: #knitsky

This puts into words so much that pisses me off about "queer culture", a refusal to acknowledge that people *care* about their feelings. They instead carry it into hypercaring veganism, which is really just another way of pretending not to be in this world, not to be of consequence, and which

Only started reading, but omfg is this good "The weight has been extracted from the category [sex] while the category continues to be invoked as though the weight remained" When it comes to sex, I always feel like being too heavy, no matter the room I'm in. One of the reasons I talk about violence

Fact (I love my wife for being very original about her name 😁) (I'm more a stereotype person. I swear, I didn't know when choosing. They all say that, I guess😅)

Any Austinites and surrounding area folks - I am in need of a person who is very good at masonry. I thought I could do my own short brick garden wall, but part of it has collapsed, and I need someone to put it back up so it won’t collapse. Anyone have a recommendation? #atx #austin #texas #masonry

Crash coursing my way through specialist literature of Russian literary criticism and wow, there is not one single popular academic idea about the past in the 1930s that isn't just straight up fascist eugenics, is there. Nothing but blood and soil ethnic supremacy all the way down.

For real. 😭 But I'm going strong, and I'll be damned if anyone is going to stop me.

Hey NOLA, a grocery box shipped to me that I meant to skip and arrived with items I can't eat: clam chowder and two different wheat pastas. Anybody want it? I can walk it around the FQ or you can come pick it up. I'd also take a rec on places collecting food in the FQ or CBD.

Now at 51%! Thank you 🫶🏾 Can we get closer to 60% today? A few sales should do it! I have new garlands, earrings, and belts available for pre-order, and don’t forget to take a look at the treasures already here in my shop! I also have ready-to-record scripts here 🧚🏽‍♀️ ko-fi.com/feelgoodfair...

Add food to a movie Finding cinnamon rolls *fr, after 3pm you won't get them in my city 😅 I used to get the last two on my way to singing lesson and make my teacher happy :D

Officially and finally. The Council of the EU has adopted a €90 billion loan for Ukraine and a 20th package of sanctions against russia. Thank you, Europe 🇪🇺🇺🇦

Since sexist, transphobic bullshit like this is also what drives bsky auto labels, I expect solidarity from gay cis men to label their photos. If you don't do it, it's just privilege, not "resistance". Also, I really don't want to see dudes barely wearing shorts on my yarn feed or in public. 🤬 🧶

🧶 #ShowMeYourKnits I'm a little late but, here is a cowl I knit a few years ago. It was part of an online class where we used a painting as inspiration for colours & patterns. I used The Large Blue Horses by Franz Marc as my inspiration, dyeing the yarn & designed the horse chart.

This is beautiful, I've been looking for a star projector for quite a while now, but wasn't so happy with what I found so far (or afraid to be duped)

#knitsky #crochetsky to me this screams fiber arts

#WIPWednesdays 🎨I haven't been knitting as much lately, partly because I have been painting and I am loving it. Acrylic on canvas. 30 cm x 90 cm/2 ft x 3 ft.

#KnitSky So I have a weird size situation with regards to my legs, feet, and compression socks. I have small feet and wide calves, so I don't fit neatly into size charts. I want to make my own but I can't find a place to actually ORDER medical-grade lycra yarn. Help?

Braiding Sweetgrass is one of the formative books that led me to my current ethos. Here's an excerpt talking about the Honorable Harvest www.doebay.net/appeal/Honor...

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Also yes I will be crocheting while I wait, thank goodness my work is so portable 🧶

Tried three backgrounds. Hated all of them. Thought I might have to procedurally generate them for a hot minute there but nope. They'll be hand-drawn assets with shader effects. And they will be shareable soon. In the meantime, here's two weird seahorses. #indie #gamedev #art #crochet 🧶

Removed 49 books from my shelves, poetry, novels, history books (scholarly and some popular) and a few dudes I can't stand that survived the earlier purges. Plus stuff I felt I should read but never did (B Brecht who stole from the women he worked with) It feels like I haven't made much of a dent...

This is my trans agenda

Case in point: cats are just small dragons. Getting my yarn out from under her ended with a few more holes in my fingers than I like. (The trick was fearlessly sticking my whole hand into her embrace while sneaking the yarn out from behind her 😈 You're smart, but I'm smarter, Aurora...) #knitsky

Needed a stretchy ribbed cast on, so I learned one today: Ysolda’s Alternating Cable Cast On ftw! Feeling chuffed. 🧶 ysolda.com/blogs/journa...

I'm here to tell you: you can knit ANYTHING in ANY WEIGHT as long as you don't expect to end up with the same dimensions and don't mind the occasional tear in the time-space continuum. 🤣 🧶

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

Does it annoy you that the very last stitch looks loose and pulled? Here’s a remedy for that: Before #knitting the last stitch, lift the stitch below it onto your left-hand needle and knit the 2 stitches together 🧶

My queer audiobook is on heavy discount at Libro for the next 6 days. #asexual #autistic Gen X experience of a particular kind of queer; set in Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia; does not ignore the covid pandemic (though the narrative ends during lockdown). See storygraph for CN; all apply.

As of 2023, Sherlock Holmes is finally in the public domain in the United States -- which means that Arthur Conan Doyle's heirs and random other rights-holders can no longer insist that the character be free of any trace of homoeroticism. buttondown.com/charliejane/...

Some thoughts on having a baby and a book baby, and a better metaphor for publication than giving birth: buttondown.com/signs+wonder...

Anyway I skeeted this like two days before I quit my job weird.

Hi, do not allow so called "publishing professionals" convince you to spend more than you can afford. If you are indie author you can absolutely go back and upgrade your backlist later. Indie authors do it all the time. Publish the best way you can right now and scale up later.

We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.
