Just harvested these elderberries. I am used to very dark berries and this is the first time working with them.

@livrunsfast.bsky.social runs the #showmeyourknits weekly challenge. This week, show off your garter stitch projects. I was looking for a different project in my 50,000 😵‍💫photolibrary. But this socks will do for now. They were part of this year’s #sockmadness #knitsky #knitting #sockknitting #knit

Very colorful socks on a man‘s foot. Colors are neon - green, yellow, orange, pink
The #socks were a #sock madness pattern

The latest design by @minimiknitdesign.bsky.social I had the pleasure to test knit. I used a 100% cotton yarn and have already worn it many times #knitting #knitsky #cotton #handmade #handknitted

Scored this loom for free! It was a bit of an adventure transporting it and will need work. But am looking forward to the adventures in #weaving. #loom #weavingloom #fiberarts #wool

Courage, my friends. Let’s inspire each other

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · May 1

Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

So glad that you are here. I am only still at any of the Meta apps to see what my friends are up to.
But hoping that many will come here…
