As an Indiana University alumna who spent the 4 years of her tenure there ushering at every single home game, I'm delighted for the team today. What an achievement! #IU

The reason I don't use chemicals in my yard. I dug a shallow swale to deal with runoff, and the mallards love it when it stays flooded. #photography #birds

#ShowMeYourKnits These are the only things I've done that fit the category this week. They are the Sleekit Mitts, but I couldn't make gauge and had to modify them. #knitsky 🧶

Pincushion Flower. This picture was taken in March 2020, and the plant gave me flowers in all but the very coldest part of the year. Sadly, it gave way to old age. #photography #flower

Pair of Pelicans. I think the darker one is a juvenile. #photography #birds

Three mallards in a stormwater quality basin. We have these scattered throughout the city to control storm run off and filter it through the ground instead of letting it run directly into the Chesapeake Bay. They're usually good for sighting some birds. #photography #birds

No one has immunity after Trump is out of power. Ask the people involved in Watergate how they felt about the time they served. John N. Mitchell: 19 months. H.R. Haldeman: 18 months. John Ehrlichman: 18 months. John Dean: 4 months. G. Gordon Liddy: over 4 years. 1/2

Probably the closest I've been to a bufflehead with camera at the ready. They are fun to watch. #photography #birds

Still #WIPWednesday. I'm casting on the swatch now. It is Lion Brand Fishermen's Wool and it is destined to become the Loopy Lopi Sweater. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... I'm only doing the colorwork around the yoke, because I can't handle the small circumference work around the sleeve. #knitsky 🧶

#WIPWednesday This hat is nearing completion and is destined to warm my husband's head. Lion Brand Scarfie yarn and I'm winging it on the pattern. #knitsky 🧶

Turtles in the shade at Crystal Lake. I always love the reflections at Crystal Lake. #photography #turtle

Oyster Catcher on Grundland Creek. Not a very common sight for me. #photography #birds

It's been over a month since my second eye was done, and I am loving the results. No more flood lights to see my knitting, and I can read the fine print on ingredients lists. If your eye doctor says you need this, my recommendation is to go for it without delay. Irritation only lasted a day.

Royal Terns on Grundland Creek. There may be a few other types of terns, there are a couple laughing gulls. These birds are why the dune is protected. #photography #birds

#ShowMeYourKnits is knitter's choice of 2025. I pretty much have to choose this shawl - the yarn was a New Year's gift, and I spent the first part of 2025 knitting this while my Mom was in the hospital and rehab. Still needs about 15 ends woven in and its glamour shots. #knitsky 🧶 Mirasol Inka yarn.

Southern Lady Fern #photography I was running out of subjects and concentrating on my yard.

#WIPWednesday As if colorwork wasn't enough to learn, now I'm using 9" circulars for the first time. They're tricky! This is going to be a little basket to hold point protectors and stitch markers and suchlike. #knitsky 🧶repost to include ALT text

Iris and Azalea #photography #flower

For #ShowMeYourKnits white and bright. I made this for myself several years ago, but never documented it. Can't remember the pattern name, but the yarn is KnitPicks Palette. It's about 36" diameter. I have nowhere to display it. #knitsky 🧶

#ShowMeYourKnits White and Bright. This is a shawl I made for my SIL. Diamond Fantasia pattern from a Barbara Walker Treasury, done in Knit Picks Comfy fingering. #knitsky 🧶

For #CrochetAway Julia Hart patterns from Ravelry. These went in family Christmas cards this year. 🧶

Pink Hyacinth. #photography

For #CrochetAway an angel made for my Mom. I got tricked into buying a pirated PDF of a pattern on Etsy, and that turned out to have pictures that didn't match the directions. I winged it and then gave her a scarf to stabilize her head. Mom liked it, and that's what counts. 🧶I'll try again some day.

For #ShowMeYourKnits whites and brights. Lap robe in Knit Picks Brava bulky. The pattern is called Chatelaine, and it is from one of Barbara Walker's treasuries. #knitsky 🧶
