A black & white photo filter suggested the color values would be different enough that this white snowflake motif would stand out… but it didn’t.

This 50-sec short explains how I fixed it. 🙂 #knitsky #knitting

#showmeyourknits this week is hats: last Christmas, I got hooked on using sock yarn scraps to make Seaglass hats for friends… and eventually for myself too!

On the blog, my take on the SciShow apology. I know my thoughts & feelings will differ from others in the knitting community, and I think that's okay.

Apologies are always personal things: one size definitely does not fit all. #knitsky

I’ve been calling my Ooey Gooey “Autumn Evening” because that’s what the colors remind me of (using a skein of my handspun for the yoke) 🧶 #knitsky #showmeyourknits

Count me in on the whole revulsion thing.
George Packer responds to @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social’s inquiry about how to fix our current political climate: “It’ll have to come from the revulsion of large numbers of ordinary people who just don’t want to live this way.”

#showmeyourknits I foolishly forgot that I sill have a stripey sock WIP (or two) 🧶

Yarn is Woolens & Nosh in the colorway “Stained Glass”
August 20, 2025 at 5:02 PM
#showmeyourknits this week is stripes…this year, Andrea Mowry’s “Ooey Gooey” Rhinebeck sweater pattern has a sorta stripey vibe—using my own #handspun is adding to it a bit! #knitsky 🧶

#knitsky it’s been a month since I did a video podcast on my YouTube channel. I’m always making & musing, but life has been crazy, and the thought of creating content felt overwhelming.

But I’m back! And happy about it: it’s nice to get back to recording. 🙂🧶

#showmeyourknits I foolishly forgot to take a finished photo of this Relax Tee by Aimee Sher (2 of my 3 kitties have been very sick lately so, you know, priorities), but it’s very clearly a beautiful blue! 😄 #knitsky 🧶

Yarn is Holst Garn Coast in the color “Cobalt.”

Another WIP (cheerfully non-monogamous crafter here!): Beagle by Norah Gaughan (men’s sweater)

The pattern knits up quickly—yarn is Berroco Vintage in Spruce. (Photos aren’t showing the color well—it’s more like a dark army green.)

A funny coincidence, because I rarely work with yellow. 🧶 #knitsky
