It’s Superb Owl Sunday! My favorite owls are burrowing owls. Photo is from the Audubon Society #superbowl #owls

I feel like the song, “Hungry Eyes” might be about a cat who loves yarn. We’ve simply been mistaken. #knitsky #catsky #snacktime

Rest in peace, Gladys. You did so much for our country and the women making careers in STEM. #womeninstem

Hey #minnesota, it time to caucus. Let’s go out and show our support for Jake Johnson. #byebyebrad

As a Minnesotan, I am so grateful for the outpouring of love and support from people all over the globe. What’s happening here goes far beyond politics. This is now about defending democracy and upholding basic human rights. Many people want to help and are asking what to do. I have suggestions.🧵

I was not worried about running out of yarn until I dealt with a cake that had completely dissolved. Now I’m playing 🧶🐓. Fortunately, I found a stashed mini skein that is close enough in color and weight. Here’s hoping! #knitsky #whatswatch #almostthere #yarnchicken

#minnesota #noice #demandbetter Remember, we choose our government.

It doesn’t matter what the White House says. We all know that Alex Pretti and Renee Good died on the right side of history. 🕯️🕯️ #minnesota #iceout

I guess I’m talking a break. #catsky #knitsky

#knitting is resistance and Minnesota is resisting. Needle and Skein is a LYS in St. Louis Park, MN. #knitsky

I don’t typically wish ill upon others, but I hope people who spit gum on the ground have their favorite stories turned into horrible adaptations for tv streaming. #gross #cleaning #gumshoe

I’ve had this Zaurball in my yarn stash for a while. I bought some black yarn and chose a pattern, undeterred by the color work knit flat. I am liking the overall look of the piece but I have had to give my dominant had a big pep talk about what it means to actually dominate. #knitsky #newskills

Knitting is not a fast craft but it is so much faster than unknitting. #knittingproblems #knitsky

Is anyone else slightly obsessed with The Repair Shop? I could watch artisans work all day. The process is often just as beautiful as the finished product. #therepairshop #britishtelevision #fixit

We’re under a winter weather advisory so I’m taking advantage of the day. I’m making cup cozies for my team as holiday gifts. They’ll be placed in packages with cocoa mix, teas, and k-cups. I have six more to make. #knitsky #holidaygifts #homemade

🎼🎶Because I’m gonna make a super sonic hat out of you🎶🎵 #knitsky #freddy #queen

Jaimie Lomax is helping me with Christmas gifts for my staff this year. A cup cozy with assorted coffees and teas sounds nice. #knitting #doodles #holidaymaking

Inside me lives two knitters…🤣🤣🤣 #scrappyknitting #knitting #knitsky

This is why I hesitate to take commissions. 😆 #knitsky #socks

We’re traveling next weekend so of course the most important question is, “What should I bring to knit”? #knitsky

#SEMinnesota go check out Jake Johnson. We deserve better representation in congress.

“I am not so naïve as to believe that this slim volume will change the course of history or shake the conscience of the world. Books no longer have the power they once did. Those who kept silent yesterday will remain silent tomorrow.” Elie Wiesel, Night people.com/ice-agents-o...

Fall is in the air and on my needles. #blueskyfiberarts #leaves #knitsky

I just wanted to steal a second of your time to mention that October 14th is Ada Lovelace Day. Martin Luther King Jr. was announced as the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and 300 Jewish hostages escaped a Nazi concentration camp after a prison uprising. Good night! #historyworthcelebrating

Washed, blocked, and ready for crisp, autumn weather. #knitsky #stripes #finishedobject

I have soooo many ends to weave in and the collar to finish, but I love my striped sweater. #cocoknits #knitsky #stripes

That moment when you took tomorrow off because your mental health is more important than your to do list.

Jake Johnson’s campaign is gaining momentum in #SEMinnesota #minnesota #redwing

Take care of yourselves, you beautiful beings!

Today’s project for tomorrow’s garden. #gardening #yardwork

Because I’m a WIP dragon I cast on another project. This time it’s the Delectable Collectables #SSAL2025. Stephen West patterns are always fun and colorful and these didn’t disappoint. ⚠️ Spoiler in the comments. #knitsky #spoileralert

“How many WIPs is too many?”, she asked herself. Her lip curled up in a sarcastic, half smile. She knew she didn’t care and wouldn’t be inclined to change her ways even if someone were bold enough to give an answer. #wip #knitsky #knitting

Happy National Knit in Public Day. It’s not in public but I am knitting. Minnesota is reeling from this morning’s news. Many, myself included, across the state took to the streets despite our sadness and shock. Love, not hate, makes America great. #nokings #knitsky #socks

I’ve received so many spam calls and scam texts lately. I’ve been on a rinse and repeat cycle of “send to voicemail” and “block number”. #modernproblems #nope #pleasedontcallme

While I have made progress on my Aurora Cabin shawl (finally to section 6), I did not finish it before vacation. Maybe by the end of June? #knitsky #wip

M is for #mitosis. #stem #cellbiology #m&ms

It’s all fun and games until every row has 500+ stitches. #shawlknitting #wipwednesday #knitsky #auroracabinshawl

Nothing says “weekend” like No-jitos on the deck with a book. #longweekend #beverage #noalcohol

Sometimes #memade also requires a “me made” laundry solution. #knitsky #washyoursocks

Everybody makes such beautiful stuff! #knitsky

#showmeyourknits purple: the Montana Mountain Cowl by Andrea Mowry. The yarn is a single skein of Life in the Long Grass in a deep purple paired with a color shifting ball from Queensland Collection. #knitsky

When your friend knows what kind of gardener you are AND what kind of person you are you get a pot like this. #gardensky #knitsky #flowerpot

I laughed harder at this than I should have. #darkhumor #funny

Well, I waded back into the news after 14 days of radio silence. Let me tell you about the power of a long break.

Hubby and I just got back from a wonderful anniversary adventure. We sailed to St. Maarten and Puerto Rico then spent some time in Miami. I feel relaxed and wonderfully tan. #vacation

My faded shortie socks are finished. I will need to wait until I’m home to weave in the ends on the second sock and block them. I love traveling with a good sock project. They knit up so quickly and are incredibly portable. #socks #shortiesocks #knitsky

My child had their first commissioned art show. This piece is called “Don’t Forget”and was inspired by the nightly reminder to take their anti anxiety medication. The show’s theme was mental health in marginalized communities. I couldn’t be more proud. #mombrag #mentalhealth #artsky #dontforget

#Dogma plus Q&A with Kevin Smith. The kid is getting a religious education tonight.
