Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

#Beanie knits, I got ‘em! All free patterns; some still in the works. Most feature corrugated rib brim; purled decrease line. Web site link reflects my Ravelry. Contact sheet made using free software from XnView MP. #ShowMeYourKnits #Knitting #Knitsky 🧶 PROJECTS: www.elawarart.org/fiber/projec...

Abolish ICE beanie finished. Suggested yarn for this beanie is fingering or sport weight; free pattern link below. I used some stash Camper 100% Highlands wool from Kelbourne Woolens. Will work up a version in cotton as well. #AbolishICE #knitting #knitsky 🧶 LINK: www.elawarart.org/fiber/projec...

It’s black and purple (and green) but not meant to be spooky! My sister saw this shawl on a contestant on Jeopardy and asked me to knit it up; definitely a labor of love. The Willow Shawl by Natalia Moreva. Yarn: Fiber Optic Yarns Unified Kashmir Gradient. #knitting #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶

Possible beanie, cowl, scarf… pattern in progress. The motif is non-repeating, which makes for an attention-consuming knit. Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok Worsted. Want to try a wool-alpaca blend. Pattern at some point soon. 🙏🏽 www.elawarart.org/fiber/projec... #knitting #knitsky #wipwednesday #beanie 🧶

A request from @annekosseffjones.bsky.social for a beanie pattern led me to modify a “stock” beanie pattern of mine to fit the bill. It is designed for fingering/sport-weight yarn; cotton and wool have both been tested. Interested in test knitting? DM me an email! #knitsky #knitting #abolishICE 🧶

In my reworked Fjall (Istex, in Lettlopi) I used a motif traditional to the Palestinian kufiyyeh and tatreez (embroidery). Chart now added to the Ravelry project & web site. The chart starts 8 rounds before separating for the sleeves. #knitting #knitsky #Palestine 🧶 www.elawarart.org/fiber/projec...

I agree! So much has happened since @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social stopped filming. NJ Freedom to Read Act signed. That Librarian by @librarianjones.com became a best-seller and is now out in paperback. Suzette Baker won her suit for wrongful dismissal. And more!

Must-see movie. Needs an epilogue about the success of the mobilizing around libraries and librarians!

Currently revising my Nakba 75 Beanie for different sizes as well as wool. Letterforms are in square-kufic Arabic. Here using domestically grown and plied organic cotton in fingering from Stony Hill Fiber Arts. Illustrated table (artist unknown) in Tompkins Square Park, NYC. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

I have revised as well for size options and cotton my #MalcolmX Beanie, here in Scheepjes unmercerized Cotton 8 yarn. The letterforms are in square-kufic Arabic and spell out Malcolm X. I was dogsitting in Hoboken, NJ with my partner and the skyline made a perfect backdrop. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Starting fresh with a new fiber arts/knitting account. If you followed me before, give me a follow back! Pictured: My Al-Remal Beanie in Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok Light and a broken rib scarf in Germantown from Kelbourne Woolens. #knitsky #knitting #fiberarts 🧶

All the socks. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting 🧶 Einrum, Lettlopi, Mondim.
