Finally laying out for the cardigan! I think there’s a real chance to get this done by the 26th. I’m so excited to finish the blocking to start putting them together.

Had to add in another color, but I think the copper color worked out! All 27 done! Tomorrow’s stream I’ll be working on the cardigan construction and planning that all out.

Dearest new crocheters: I am again seeing a spate of convoluted tutorials on how to get straight edges. The ONLY thing you have to do is pass your yarn from left to right under your hook when you turn, or turn your work in a manner that would accomplish the same thing. That's it. Easy peasy. 🧶

Honestly, they are! I was super sick for like 4 yrs, I fell super behind because it was all just to much to handle while I was so intensely ill.

A request from @annekosseffjones.bsky.social for a beanie pattern led me to modify a “stock” beanie pattern of mine to fit the bill. It is designed for fingering/sport-weight yarn; cotton and wool have both been tested. Interested in test knitting? DM me an email! #knitsky #knitting #abolishICE 🧶

First page of a knitting pattern that reads: “Abolish ICE”.

Took me a moment, and then I realized I was next to Fiber Space. Kudos on getting that approved.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

#WIPWednesday

4 more skulls need pedals and then I can start the background blues 🧶 on all of them. I don't want to jinx it, but I might be able to finish this before the last week of Oct. Maybe, possibly.
