Me: no more knitting patterns. I have plenty to keep me busy. Sedna: think again! #knitsky

My main WIP this week, and probably the rest of this summer, is Seth Richardson’s Turnout Shawl for a friend who’s getting married this year. Yarn is KFO Pure Silk in mandarin. #showmeyourknits

A black swallowtail for anyone who wishes they could walk into the woods today (and maybe not walk back out) #butterflies

Reposting doomer bs helps no one. Please exercise your gray cells and fact check. 👇

Started this hat 3 months ago and it’s finally (almost) done. Needs to get blocked and then off to its recipient—just in time for the 4th of July… Yarns are Wooldreamers Cautiva (white) and BT Imbue sport (RIP) in Boro. Pattern link in alt. #knitsky 🧶

Here is literally a painted turtle I saw last weekend. It was in a (fake) cemetery at a historical site and he did not appreciate the company. Turtles can book it!

#showmeyourknits yellow! This is the start of a single color Maritime tee (CocoAmour) with Kelbourne Woolens Mojave. Turns out cotton/linen are very hard on my hands so I’ll be working on this in little bits and hopefully finish for next summer 🙄🧶🌞 #knitsky

My favorite joke in the show Kevin Can F*** Himself (set in Worcester) is when Annie Murphy’s character says, “Kevin thinks I’m a bad driver. He says I don’t honk enough.”

Ohio and longbract spiderworts looking lovely, flax starting to wind down, and yarrow kicking off. We’re waiting on the delphinium and mock orange — any day now! #bloomscrolling

Took a vintage vet to his first ever protest in Madison, WI. Forward Marching Band, lots of old hippies, and a good Free Palestine contingent #NoKings #fiftyfiftyone

everyone needs this right now. you have no idea how much you, personally, need this youtu.be/fAXO7SXK0Pc?...

Didn’t like how the modified drop shoulder fit me (too tight, drags neckline, bunches underarm, annoying to PU) so I learned a traditional set in sleeve. 12 fewer stitches around but fits perfectly. Mod 👏 your 👏 knits 👏 for 👏 you 👏 That color change across the chest is a single skein 🙃 #knitsky 🧶

Don’t ever, ever let these 215 reps forget they are murderers and fascists.

Brilliant from the genius artist/cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social about the idea that tweaking images with #AI is art ~ substack.com/@anntelnaes/... Us photographers often face the same nonsense argument, while us news editors get AI written article pitches passed off as fresh ideas Just stop

Trying to decide what mindless thing to cast on during a 9 hour work retreat tomorrow. The golden larch hat is a strong contender but will my day be improved by doing ribbing? Suggestions welcome! (except socks) #knitsky 🧶

All time favorite

I know Great Barrington well and it is extremely hard to imagine any scenario on this earth in this small town that would require cops to roll out like they're going to war.

#showmeyourknits 2 cardigan wips: red is the Marseille cardigan by Cocoamour. Loved my first one so I’m making a second w/ bishop sleeve mod & painted wood buttons @blogginghuman.bsky.social gave me. Blue is the Primaveral cardigan by Hundred Acre Wool, fiiiinally about to split fronts/back #knitsky

The men in these replies…

We could have had Mandela Barnes.

Trees are social beings that learn & remember, nurse their sick, warn each other of danger via a sophisticated fungal network that also keeps stumps of felled trees alive by feeding them. They also feel something analogous to pain, so when hugged, I like to think they know

I know someone who’s one of these business majors and they’re either boycotting their own ceremony or hating every minute. These poor kids

Flowering peach blossoms HELLO. #bloomscrolling

Crucial read #knitsky

This is the third article people on here have shared *today* that makes me want to block everyone who calls this newspaper serious.

Was just lamenting my stash (largely inherited) is a lot of 400-500 yards’ worth of something, and here’s this lovely pattern. Bonus for learning a new skill along the way. #knitsky

Happy happy mail day! Books from @tianconnaughton.bsky.social arrived beautifully packaged and autographed. Looking forward to page 1 🥰 #knitsky #cozymysteries

This whole thread is worth your attention.

Here's proof from the private equity firm that now owns Jimmy Beans and Knitpicks. www.bluepointcapital.com/portfolio/lo... (via Reddit)

Widespread traffic calming measures. Lower speed limits. Close the revoked/no license loophole. Mandatory insurance. Literally the most basic shit. Drivers in MKE are wildly reckless and selfish. And this is coming from a former Masshole.

It's not gray, but it looks a little gray and that's as close as I'm getting to the #showmeyourknits theme this week. Pattern is the Primaveral cardigan by Hundred Acre Wool. Yarn is Lore by Fibre Co in the colorway Heaven.

Instead of the ongoing horror news I'm waiting for the Local Crafts (parent co of Knitpicks and Berroco) buys Jimmy Beans and MaddyTosh drama to drop 🧶 #knitsky

I’m sharing posts from Palestinians here if they reach out. These accounts are real, and the people behind them are struggling to survive. If you can help or share, please do! A small action is better than none 🍉❤️

None of this happens if Donald Trump doesn't make his name in Republican politics arguing Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This is one of the first dominoes in the collapse of the global economic system.

Wow this @ewetopiayarn.bsky.social Sustainawool in “summertime.” Just wow. #knitsky 🧶

Just a cute red squirrel.

Ron Johnson on NPR just now: "There's not much I can really do about it." Fuck you, dude #wiunion

I do some fiber retail and think about this a lot. It's no longer about making everyone feel welcome if some of those people don't want others to exist or be free.

A huge number of people in Gaza are being displaced and losing all they have or spending a fortune to transport it. No aid is getting in and food prices are exorbitant. If you see more people and they seem more desperate, please treat them the way you’d hope someone would treat your family.
