Did some paint your own pottery this weekend. Went back to the classics, Snoopy and Woodstock. I'll get them back in 2 weeks. I'll post a follow up then. #paintyourownpottery #pottery #snoopy #art

Went to the NH Sheep and Wool Festival during a brief vacation to Massachusetts last weekend. Had to cut it short due to back problems. Doing better after starting PT. But back problems suck. This is not the first time my back has interfered with a vacation. #knitsky #knitting #crochet

43 items donated to a local hospital. The crafters group there told me how impactful the squids are for the pediatric patients. So there are a lot of squids in this donation set. This brings my lifetime total of donated handmade items to 793. #knitsky #knitting #crochet

GLENARDEN is live on #Ravelry! It features yarn from @thefiberists.bsky.social (Collins Worsted [grey hat] and Newton Worsted [blue hat in previous post]). I've been working on this pattern for the better part of two years. So glad it is finally released! #knitsky #knitting #knittingpattern

Garden update. My dad and I started our vegetable garden seeds using the seed snail method. It isn't common in the US yet. It is much more popular in Europe. This is what the seedlings look like just 2 weeks after sowing. #garden #seedsnail #gardensky

Glenarden is still coming out on Sunday. But I realized I never posted about a #freepattern I released about 2 weeks ago. "Simple Scrap Ribbed Beanie" is a free simple ribbed hat pattern that uses scrap worsted weight yarn. Find it on #Ravelry! #knitting #knitsky

New pattern release! This Sunday! This is GLENARDEN. It features yarn from The Fiberists. I've been working on some form of this pattern for the better part of two years. I'm finally satisfied with it. Can't wait for it to finally be out! #knitsky #knitting #knittingpattern

It's only been 6 hours since the second dose of the shingles vaccine and already starting to not feel well. Completely expected given how dose 1 went. But annoying nonetheless.

Just realized I misspelled "knitting" in my last post. Too late to fix it. Oh well.

Surprise pattern drop! This is TUSCARORA Hat. The hat features wide, 2-cable-needles cables with a running single small honeycomb down the center. Find the pattern on Ravelry, LoveCrafts, Ko-fi, and Etsy! #knitsky #kitting

One of my patterns was featured at the #VogueKnittingLive #crochet fashion show this weekend. Ottellea, my crocheted asymmetrical scarf. I'm so honored to have been chosen! Pattern available on Ravelry. #knitsky

Just posted this #freepattern on #Ravelry! "Granny Linen Blanket" is now live as a free #crochet pattern on my website. It crochets up very fast with its repeating pattern.

True animation. No AI. A Christmas commercial. I want a movie like this.

Got my first Shingrex vaccine yesterday. My arm hurts worse than a Covid vaccine. Feeling slightly feverish. Good thing I’m not cooking, just reheating, today. #thanksgiving

I'm really going to need Abed to catch the die he threw. I'm so done with this darkest timeline.

Went to the Shenandoah Valley Fiber Fest today. I’m not comfortable filming vendor booths, so animals instead 🐰🦙🐐 And my haul at the end. #knitsky #yarn

Latest harvest from my garden. This is a gallon-size ziploc's worth. They will be going to my dad who is attempting to figure out my grandmother's old canning catsup recipe (she was my mom's mom and we can't find her recipe but my dad remembers really liking it decades ago when he last had it).

Been quiet lately. Lots of stress over the last few months led to a severe case of facial shingles (and I’m in my 30s). Been at Hopkins for a bit and have more time to go. At least my room has a view. And I’ve started doodling.

Crocheted these last night. Pattern is called “Lavender” by Yui Sun on Ravelry.

Palate cleanser. A little bit of little-known Baltimore history.

New FREE knitting pattern! One of my most popular knitted hat patterns is Spiralis, a simple bulky weight hat. I wanted to make it in worsted weight, and this time, with several different sizes. So here it is! Spiralis Worsted! Link in my bio. #knitsky #freeknittingpattern

Sometimes we need a happy distraction.

This is ROSE HAVEN. A ribbed cable hat and cowl set featuring a quail cable and a twisted cable rib. Both patterns are included in a single download. Find the pattern on Ravelry and LoveCrafts. See the link in my bio for links to both. #knitlovewool #knitsky #knitting #newpattern #knittingpattern

Next pattern release! Coming this Tuesday 11 February. A simple ribbed cross/cable design. Stay tuned! #knitsky

Sad I will miss the Fiber Witch Festival in Salem, MA this year. I have never been. I will be in Boston, but two weeks after. :(

Spent the day moving free patterns from my old blog to my new blog. Got 9 moved over. Have about 6 to go.

Since I don't have a pattern coming out yet (although likely within the next few weeks), I'll post my most recent pattern. This is HENRYTON. A cabled hat and cowl using super bulky yarn. #knitting #ravelry #knittingpattern #knitsky www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Hello! I'm Sweet Vireo! This is my bluesky account for my knitting and crochet designs! I have a few patterns coming out in the next few months so stay tuned!

This account is different from my main (SweetVireo). That is where I will put more political discourse. This account will not have political content.
