Life-long Midwesterner who's a knitting, fiber arts, science, and sci-fi geek.
Time for my annual review of my yarn and fiber stash. It’s a good time to take stock of what I have, make sure I don’t see any signs of pests, make plans for the coming year, and set aside anything I no longer want to trade, sell, or donate. #Knitsky

#FOFriday : I finally finished my Biscuit Slipover (by Bridget Zhou), which I started for a makealong with a 31 Oct deadline. Yarn is from a brown Cormo named Hershey who I met a few months ago. #Knitting #KnitSky🧶

#WIPWednesday : I finished the stockinette body of the sweater (still need to do ribbing), started a DK weight sock that was supposed to be a gift for my husband last year (I gave him the yarn), and after calculations started a project for me. Details in the alt text. #Knitting #Knitsky 🧶

#SundaysAreForSpinning : yesterday I washed all the plied skeins from the @mellyknits.bsky.social Delightful fiber advent, and I’ve been spinning a project dyeing #DashelThroughTheSnow . #Handspinning 🧶

The dog has learned I’m the clumsy cook. I used leftover Christmas ham to make šunkofleky. It’s a baked Czech dish with noodles, egg, and ham that my grandmother made. I grew up just calling it fleky (and pronouncing it “fleech-kee”), but I’ve learned that’s just the name of the noodles.

#FOFriday : i finished the knitting a while ago but dragged my feet on weaving in ends, washing, and blocking. I didn’t feel like doing a photoshoot, being firmly in goblin mode on Boxing Day. Yarn and pattern details in the alt text. #Knitting #Knitsky 🧶

I took the photo yesterday, but didn’t get around to posting it g for #WIPWednesday . The dark brown slipover was drying after being washed, so I brought the other projects to it. The stocking was finished in time to be used last night (though I intend to add a lining). #Knitting #Knitsky 🧶

#SundaysAreForSpinning . I have days 7/8 and 9/10 of the @mellyknits.bsky.social Delightful Advent plied, and yesterday I combed and blended the @fossilfibers.bsky.social Quiet Sip blending club from October. #Handspinng #FiberPrep 🧶

#FOFriday : I bound this off in August, wove in ends in September, blocked in October, and dragged my feet on taking photos, so these crappy ones are what you get. Pattern is The Crown Wools by Casapinka. Yarn is Tanis Fiber Arts Purewash Sock from last year’s 12 days of minis. #Knitting #Knitsky 🧶

Today’s advents. I think the yarn is continuing to love into green, while the fiber is an 80/20 blend of merino and muga silk.

Getting caught up on posting my Advent calendars. Days 12-14 from Artemis yarns, days 6 and 7 from Haunui Wools, and day 7 of the Melly Knits Delightful advent.

#SundaysAreForSpinning : I have the first 6 days of the Melly Knits Delightful Advent spun and plied (each skein is 2 days). I spun day 7, which may be my favorite so far (a merino from Apple Creek Merinos).

I haven’t had an #FOFriday post in a while. A hat for my son, using leftover @blueskyfibers.bsky.social Woolstok Worsted along with some minis from a Woolstok Worsted bundle. Base stitch counts and crown shaping from those in the DK version of the Barley Hat by Tin Can Knits. #KnitSky #Knitting 🧶

The Artemis Yarns advent calendar is still in the Orange family. Delightful day 6 from Melly Knits was the same dark Haunui from day 5 blended with 20% kid nubora, which I’m guessing is a cross between Nubian goats (a milk breed) with angora (the source of mohair) I haven’t watched today’s Lore yet.
December 12, 2025 at 4:05 AM
The contents of today’s advent calendars, plus I plied days 3 and 4 of the Melly Knits Delightful advent.

#WIPWednesday : I made more progress in the sweater and stocking, but then got derailed when I ready son didn’t have a hat that fully covers his ears. Details in the alt text. #Knitsky #Knitting 🧶

Getting caught up on my advent calendars, and I spun the fiber I opened today (day 5 of the Melly Knits Delightful advent).

All I can think about is the @ellecordova.bsky.social video about Times New Roman no longer being the default in Microsoft products

I’ve been using “Regards” on all work emails for nearly 20 years, since somebody chastised me for not using salutations (I now default to “Hi” or “Hello if I need to be more formal) or sign offs on emails. Have people been thinking I’ve been pissed off this whole time? Best seems too casual to me.
To review:

Sincerely : formal

Best : neutral

All the best : positive

All the very best : can we be friends???

Regards : from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee

#SundaysAreForSpinnung overlaps with another day of Advent Calendars. Day 4 of the Melly Knits Delughtdul was 80% Corriedale/20% angora. I spun it up and transferred days 3 and 4 to storage bobbins for plying. I also skeined up the yarn from plying Days 1 and 2. #Handspinning

I opened day 6 of the Artemis Yarns Nereids Advent Calendar, Day 3 of the Haunui 100% wool, and spun up Day 3 of Delightful from Melly Knits.
December 7, 2025 at 3:02 AM
Today I opened Day 5 of the Artemis Yarns Nereids Advent Calendar and Day 3 of the Melly Knits Delightful. But I wasn’t really in a spinning mood tonight.

That’s a dinosaur. I mean, I know all birds are, but this really emphasizes it.
