First sock of 2026. (Wool/silk/nylon blend. My standard 3x1 rib, heel flap & gusset, slip stitch sole) Always antifascist. A decent turnout in Bend, standing in solidarity with MLPS. We demand ICE OUT of our nation! #handknitsock #knitsky #sockknitting

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

America is off the motherfucking rails. Fuck these fascist goons driving this dystopian train to hell. We are all we have. Keep each other safe.

💔💔💔

They have been itching to murder

Mother of all Mondays, my first sock of my personal sock a month 2026. Doing this challenge helped my sanity immensely in 2025. 2026 has already been a rollercoaster due to the dictator in chief. Hopefully this year we see his demise. #knitsky #handknitsocks #knitsocks #knitting #handknit

Even after losing in court, Trump is still trying to withhold food assistance to hard-working Americans. Trump has the authority to FULLY fund SNAP and needs to do so immediately. Our communities deserve nothing less. If you or someone you know needs food resources, visit:

Such a nice turn out for #NoKings in Bend, OR My third sock 🧶 🧦of socktober #handknitsocks #knitsky

🧶 WIP Wednesday. Maude in her Sea Sheppard T, and my almost finished self drafted vest. I finished the body way back in June. Just picked it back up and it only needs 1 pocket seamed, 1 armhole ribbing, and to we washed/blocked. #handknit #knitsky

🧶 🧦 September’s second pair is off the needles and on the blockers. On to SOCKTOBER! Also, fuck fascism. #handknitsocks #sockknitting #knitting #knitsky #blueskyisforknitters

Duck you, Trump.

Tylenol may not cause autism, but a felon running the country is leading to fascism.

For everyone disappointed in the @scishow.bsky.social video presented by @hankgreen.bsky.social *This* is the video we deserved. Thank you @jillianeve.bsky.social 😻 #knitsky #knitting #fiberarts

I might be slightly obsessed with Focus Friend. I knit my bean, Bean Ween. 🧶

Focus Friend friends: Anyone else wondering what happens to the time space contium when you finish knitting a pair of socks 🧶 🧦& your bean finishes knitting their pairs of socks 🧦 attn: @hankgreen.bsky.social Are we able to get off of this timeline? #handknitsocks #knitting #focusFriend

I was bitten by the blending bug today. Normally if I’m going to card anything, it’s on my drumcarder. Today I used my blending board for the first time in years. Several hours later, I have seven oz of some floofy floof! I think I’ll make one more. (Famous last words) #fiberarts #spinsky

A lovely mail day! My copy of No fear sock knitting by @earthtonesgirl.bsky.social came! Going right next to Cookie A. #knitsky #handknitsocks #knitting

I miss Ween! It’s been a year since I couldn’t use the rest of my west coast tickets. 😿 Can we get more Gener does Joel? Something? Anything?

🐑 #TourdeFleece 2025 really helped relight my spinning fire. (I have yet to wash any of my yarn🤷‍♀️) But I started a whole different project. (Empty bobbins and all) a combo spin, starting with this recycled silk sari. Happy fiber Friday! #handspun #fiberarts #spinsky

So much for my ‘outside plans’ for today. Which consisted of washing my #tourdefleece 🐑skeins 🧶 and hanging them to dry. I haven’t seen golfball sized hail in a few years.🙀 It sounded like rocks were hitting the house. Thankfully we didn’t suffer any damages. Thought we would have some broken glass

🐑 TdF stage 11 🧶 The last 8oz of this wool 🐑 alpaca 🦙blend. This was one of my main spins, so I feel super accomplished, having a sweater’s quantity of this floof to knit up. #tourdefleece #handspun #fiberarts #spinsky

🧶 TdF stage 9: 4oz of this purple heathered shetland spun, 4oz to go. I hope everyone is having a wildly enjoyable #tourdefleece I am very grateful for these fibers and my crafts (and a Gilmore Girls marathon) for keeping me grounded (and not doomscrolling!)

Bruh

🧶 One of my #tourdefleece main spins, one pound of merino/alpaca blend in a lovely purple. I only spun about 3oz today. I’m looking forward to getting a lot done this weekend. #handspunyarn #fiberarts #handcrafted #tourdefleece2025

It’s been a really challenging day in these parts. 😿 I’m glad I have #tourdefleece and my craft to get me through. 🧶 #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberarts

Just got home from work, and I can work on this blend of merino, camel, silk top. For my #tourdefleece ‘spin from stash’ portion of this challenge. 🧶 #fiberarts #handspunyarn #handspinning #handspun

Such a great article about the community power of knitting, sewing and other fiber arts. Grateful that Teen Vogue is doing a great job of educating teenagers about civilization, not just fashion. www.teenvogue.com/story/how-kn...

🧶 Some of the plying I am trying to get through while I witness the death of democracy. 🙀Creating something useful, in order to keep from feeling hopeless. #fiberarts #handspunyarn #handspinning #handdyed

🧶 Finishing up the second bobbin of this hand dyed merino top. I called this colorway Terrapin Station. 🌹 I’m considering this my training for #tourdefleece2025 I’m not sure what my goals are yet, but I do know I need to get some bobbins empty. #fiberarts #handspinning #handdyed #handspun

Rounding out the last day(s) of Pride by spinning this trans flag coded combed top. I’m on the second bobbin, when I’m done I’ll have about 10oz of a 2ply sport weight yarn. 🧶 Open to knitting pattern suggestions. #fiberarts #spinning #handspun #handspunyarn

$25 covers the purchase and shipment of a pair of femme tucking garments to 1 trans youth. $50 covers the purchase and shipment of brand-new chest binders to 3 trans youths. $100 covers the processing and postage to mail garments to 35 trans youths. DONATE: secure.givelively.org/donate/point...

Going into this year, I knew it was going to be stressful/chaotic. To keep myself from doomscrolling too much of this 🙀dystopian nightmare I decided to keep my hands busy with knitting a pair of socks each month (127 days into the year, I have 8 pairs done. Jan[2] & April[3] have yielded most)🧶

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Things are dark. It’s more important than ever to refuse to allow them to dim your light. Shine so bright you burn their fucking eyes out.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on. Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

💔💔💔 This feels like an ominous sign.

Not sure how much longer just 🧶and 🌸 posts are gonna cut it. Gonna need that guillotine emoji, that flaming rag in a bottle.

😽

I see some Morse code Fuck Trump handknits on my horizon 🧶 #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #blueskyknits #resistance #craftivism

Welcome to #knitsky @aoc.bsky.social This place is overflowing with amazing fiber artists! #knittersofbluesky 🧶

Dear #knittersofbluesky in an effort to find more joy in this dystopian hellscape I am asking you to link me to your favorite fiber arts vlogs/youtube channels so I can expand my YT feed. My current top 3 are Finnish Knitting Stories, Stockinettebitch, and Emtothethird #knitsky #fiberarts #knitting

😻😽

Even the 200lbs+ of various fleeces, combed tops, braids I’ve dyed, and other miscellaneous yarns and fibers I have in my garage aren’t enough for the next 4 years. Even if I spun it on a drop spindle, in a 3 ply and knit it with 1mm needles. Not enough.

I saw that it’s sweater week for #showmeyourknits I knit 🧶 this cardigan back in 2020 with my hand dyed hand spun yarn #knitsky #handmade #knit #knitting #handspun #knittersofbluesky #blueskyknits #fiberarts Project page ravel.me/Symeon/1431ib

This is definitely a reason that I keep knitting 🧶

I won’t be going back to TikTok when the dumpster “saves” it.
