I gave away my 2nd baby blanket, Aimee Alexander's "Whispering Wolf", and this was the FIFTH blanket given to her recently! Fortunately, there's no such thing as too many baby blankies. Now I can start on my Flowing River hat and learn what fission knitting is. #KnitSky #Knitting 🧶

I spent the last 2 weeks in Australia road-tripping up the coast of Western Australia, which seems to be fairly unknown to outsiders, but wow. SO much beauty, and zero partisan bickering or suspicion. Here's a naturally pink lake that was stunning:

I suppose it depends on what you want to make, but I was struck by something I saw in a Stephen West thing I got the other day where he showed the fuzzy yarn + sleek yarn brioche shawl he was knitting, and it just looked so cool.

I may be face blind, but there seems to be a fairly strong resemblance between Stephen Miller and Nosferatu. In both face and character.

How funny. That looks exactly like the way my pedicure socks started out, with a 6 stitch I-cord forming the part that goes between the first toes. One end forms the top of the sock, the other end forms the sole, eventually joined in the round. I had no idea I could have turned it into a snail!

Sea of Dreams knitted baby blanket pre-blocking. 🧶 Draped over the cat shredded chair. Took me long enough to finish the dang thing.

Herb butter with a lemon rind and juice and Worcestershire sauce bit of tang. So that's what I'm doing. And will be for for nearly the rest of the week.

I've never had pecan pralines before, so I made them for the Big Day, and they are fabulous.

Knitting Pima cotton baby blanket, which looks oddly pinkish here, but isn’t. Baby will be born in Australia, when it’s really hot, hence cotton, not wool.
