ROAR

#MeltTheICE hat complete. Pointy red hats were a sign of Norwegian resistance in the 1940s and were outlawed by the Nazis. I think this is Pussyhat 2.0. Knitters and crocheters…you know what to do.

I logged in Insta for the first time in a while. So much anti ICE sentiment! My favorite was from a local yarn shop. She is out of fucks 🧶💪 (This is @woolnwhippets.bsky.social though she doesn’t seem active here on Bluesky. Great little yarn shop here in WA)

Seed catalogs are my favorite. They are full of hope and possibility #gardening

This!

Y’all, the top 3 patterns on Ravelry right now are the red resistance #MeltIce hats! Go knitters and crocheters! Yesterday at this time there were 760 projects of the main Melt the Ice hat….today there are 1238. Yeah, this is Pussyhat 2.0 #craftivism

💪

Progress on my Melt Ice hat. Malabrigo was my first yarn crush, and it still makes me swoon after all these years

I haven’t seen one of these protest hats out in the wild yet, but it’s the top pattern on Ravelry again. There’s already 760 projects, so I suspect I will be seeing one soon (I’m a trailblazing bitch, so it will probably be on me)

How does our government manage to be so horrific and so cringy at the same time?

My kind of forecast! Hmm, someone should make one of these for knitting projects as well as books

This thread is beautiful. (I’d also like to add that “Brothers in Arms” by the Dire Straits came on my streaming station while I was reading this…)

Great sign!

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence. “You’ve finished another long and rewarding day as a freelance zeppelin pilot, and as the sun dips downward there is one last task at-hand.”

Went to a protest today in Kingston with about 200 people. Here’s my sign

#knit OK knitters. You know what to do. Great backstory!

As you know, I've been a lifelong fan of the LSU dance team since earlier today. This is why. www.instagram.com/reel/DN3c0zS...

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

How is this a thing in America? HOW?!? I have read a lot of things that are upsetting recently, but somehow practical tips on what to do if YOUR CHILD IS TEAR GASSED hit me hardest

Tonight’s outfit. Handknit sweater, thrifted wool skirt, Fluevogs that I got on sale eons ago. The vibe is funky librarian

Old ladies are awesome, so I’m starting a Grandmother Appreciation Thread. Repost with something awesome about your granny or another older woman in your life. My grandma was a talented sewist, but her pine needle and raffia baskets were next level

WTF is wrong with people? How could anyone think this was an acceptable way to treat anyone?

What a photo!

“Organized gangs of wine moms using Antifa tactics” Ladies, what is your favorite wine mom Antifa tactic? Mine is knitting protest hats. Oooo, scary!

Typical January day in western Washington: dripping evergreens, gray skies, more rain on the way. Not shown: mud. So much mud.

Thread discussing…goon math? Yeah, let’s call it goon math. Anyway, it’s interesting and gives me hope

“Democracy enthusiast and fucking bitch” reporting for duty 🫡

This story is fucking outrageous and breaks my heart

Guys! Read this short thread about stingless bees 🐝

Dude! This looks so much easier than the provisional cast on/knit together method that I’ve used in the past. Side note: this account is a good follow for knitters

I’ve been saving a project to cast on as a reward for finishing up some of my WIPs. Welp, today was a BAD day. Fuck it, I’m casting on tonight. (Non knitters: this is the knitting equivalent of falling off the wagon) If anyone else needs permission to do the same: cast on, my friend! 🪄🧶

Finish these sentences with how it’s said in YOUR family: “It’s colder than….” “It’s darker than….” It’s colder than a witch’s tit! It’s darker than the inside of a cat! (Both of these are courtesy of my dad. Thanks Dad.) Please tell me we’re not the only weirdos out there

I would have a spacious, airy craft room with a giant cutting table in the middle so that I could host friends for sewing. Hermetically sealed glass shelving would line the room to display my beautiful yarn and fabric. No moths allowed! Plus cozy window seat on one end for knitting 🧶

I did some chores and called my representative. I need a cookie.

Me, last week: “Self, maybe it’s time to cut back on swearing.” Today me: “Fuck that shit. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck!”

Same news, starkly different framing. I’m so grossed out by WaPo

Guys, I think the lemon pigs might be horseshit I made one for 2025, which turned out….not great I thought I’d try one more time, and now we’ve kidnapped a world leader? WTF Anyway, here’s my 3 day old lemon pig looking innocent and carefree while the world crumbles

Heard about a spontaneous protest in my small town. Whipped up a sign in a hurry. There’s about 30 of us. Not bad for no notice #NoWar #ThisIsBullshit

Pardon me while I puke

Relatable

2025 lemon pig (haunted and scabrous) next to spritely 2026 lemon pig. Serious question: what does one do with the old lemon pig? Burn it in effigy? 2025 kinda sucked

Do you have any knitting or crochet resolutions this year? Last year, mine was “Use the Good Yarn”. Highly recommend! It’s so much better to use it than hoard it. This year I would like to try more crochet. I have 465 projects on Ravelry; only 4 are crochet. Time to expand my skills!

Did anybody else make a lemon pig last year? Mine looks like something out of The Picture of Dorian Gray, scabrous and nasty

A rainy Christmas afternoon is the perfect time to break out my beloved copy of Jane Eyre. The inscription says that my mom gave me this book 41 years ago today! #booksky

KitchenAid selfie! This copper beauty has graced our kitchen for over 25 years

Apparently #ShowMeYourKnits theme is whites and brights. So here are my whitest and brightest knits of the last year. Mostly brights, tbh #knitsky

NOPE. Nope nope nope.

Suffragists didn't just march. They baked, held bake sales and sold cookbooks to raise money for the cause of equality.

Starting to feel the Christmas spirit

Delightful holiday thread🎄 ⬇️
