#caturday kickn, lickn n lovn

First post in my feed. 😍 I am turning off the phone now to keep this pleasant vibe going for a while longer.

Climate change may be outpacing our ability to deal with it using engineering. The third episode of @bipisci.bsky.social, tied to the 20th anniversary of the devastating hurricane, “Katrina and the River,” looks at efforts to tame the mighty Mississippi. Listen here: bit.ly/4lzfJmh #podcast 🧪

After much headache my knit Dragon Scale blanket is done today! Off pins. Tails sewn. I need to give it a misting to re-round some scales. I blocked too hard, a lot got pointier than I like. I finished 1 quadrant in lower right, am too tired to do the others. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #justknitting 🐲🐉

#showmeyourknits 🧶 #knitting #knitsky #craftsky Some non typical cables. But yes, these are cables. Swerving movement dimension and little peekaboo pockets tucked under.

#caturday #knitsky #craftsky 🧶 #knitting New design approval from the boss.

Whoo hoo, just sold my first copy of this pattern! Help me get the word out to more holiday crafters! Could really use the sales after a slow sales year. https://windloftworkshop.etsy.com/listing/4355706020 #patterns #crafting #feltapplique #handmadegifts

I got through the fourth chart and the fourth decrease row, so now I'm down to 331 stitches per row from the original cast on of 547. Five more charts to go. #knitters #knitting #knit #knitlife #yarnlove #yarn #🧶 #handknitting #handknitters #nevernotknitting #RavenwoodDragonCloak #TourdeFleece2025

#showmeyourknits is horror/lost This is 1024 sts cast on in the round for my lg dragon blanket. I got 3 hanks (630 yards) in and found a twist! 😱💀Scary af!!The smaller red with 928 CO came out fine. I named my Rav project The Knit is Long/Dark and Full of Terrors. 😜🧶

So I just went to take my afternoon meds and realized I didn’t take my morning meds. No wonder I feel so rage filled and hostile.

If you’ve bitten off more than you can chew with a knitting 🧶 pattern(s) DON’T DO A CHARGEBACK. Talk to me! Certainly don’t say “unauthorized purchases” when you have downloaded them onto 2 separate devices associated with the PayPal email you bought them with. I can see that info on the host site

A fun textured knit worked in the round with worsted weight yarn. Offset tiled triangles of k and p ridges, with stockinette triangles edge by 2 stitch cables that can be done w/o cable needles. Lovely simple texture that has a different effect viewed from different angles

This is fantastic - the details are stunning. Zoom in on the text frills and feathers 💙

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

So Audiology broke my CROS hearing aids yesterday. 🤬 Last week my head MRI was tumor free 🥳 but my sinus CT results mean nasal passage surgery, turbinate reduction, septoplasty, and bone spurs ground down in June.🤬 I still need “revision” on the 4 level cervical fusion I’ve put off for 2 years 🤬🤬

EU shipping is back! After trawling through all the regulations I have found that my fine art pots fall under the art & antiques exception of the gpsr

I’ve made all the mistakes and figured out my best tension for these holes with the cheap rainbow striping single ply at the bottom. Now I’m on to the actual project in a gorgeous gradient of burgundy red to bright green. Pattern is Trypophobia by @xandypeters.bsky.social Knit 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky

I’m learning these holes. Made without need of BO CO. Pattern is Trypophobia by Xandy Peters holes technique from Lucy Neatby #knitting #knitsky #craftsky @xandypeters.bsky.social They always have fun designs. These could (and will) have endless iterations of size and placement in my yarn-play 🧶

#WIPWednesday #knitsky #craftsky 🧶 A knit and purl thingy with a base of 5 by 5 ribbing with a four round offset then shift of placements that causes little curled bends and the ribbing to tilt to the right. This is a loop on circular needles arranged so you see both sides.

Heavy sigh. All the therapy coping skills and mood stabilizers on earth could not make a dent some days. Today is one of those days. To self. No phone! No doomscroll. Stop trying to get your medical shit organized. It’s not going to happen today, and being pissy will not help. Go expend energy.

More complaining into the void. Wtf do you wear scent to your job in a Pulmonologist office? Where people with severe breathing issues need to go? Same with the Allergist. Why are they allowed to? At the hospital they would send employees home, scent was not allowed.

I was visited by the pretzel 🥨 tree fairy

Ordered in HC

I wanna squeeze it! And I want some more detail focus that tattoo

If I had all the money I would have a room or hallway with a 'forest' of her orchids covering the walls.

This is just wow! Dear self: Ahem. No, you cannot take up a new craft! Just be happy it exists in the world and simply admire.

More in the series of knit and purl iterations. #knitting 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #textile

Again. More. Ditto of previous post. Knit and purl iterations are all my brain can maintain of late... thank goodness simple stitching can also yield visually interesting results. I just keep making these with different gauge and intervals. It's fun that the inner side is pretty cool too 🧶#knitting

Complaining into the void. Looking over meds coverage listings 🤬 So my epipen, a potentially life saving drug, is 0% covered (because it is a combo device and medication 🤨) but the ever complained about, vilified and super controlled, oxycontin (should I need it) would be a $4 copay. Neat.

These are so cool

I really enjoyed designing this. Gives the *appearance* of folded 'swagged' pleats winding around, but it is not actually a pleated, folded, or tucked (lifted from rows below) stitch. Nor is it short rows, cabled, or entrelac style picked up along and edge! It is just k, p, p3tog and k-yo-k.

Some WIP progress on the möbius short row pleats. This I can do with stuff going on. The brioche, no. Not yet.

Learning Fresh Brioche with Nancy Marchant. Bart & Francis - with 1 extra repeat. I made it through the Italian CO and set up rows without letting go of the project and getting twisty. Through both passes LS LC and LS DC of Row 1. Claps for self for not dropping any sts or grabbing extra loops ➰

#ShowMeYourKnits another for this week’s Green prompt. Hand knit 🧶 Chippy Scarf, pattern and yarn in alt. #knitsky #knitting #craftsky #fiberart #craft I love the way the directional yo closures hide the lace holes & make a nice dimensional pop up effect like it’s actually a spilled stack.
