Long time no post. Hard to see through the constant blinding rage.
But here is a cheerful pair of socks. Hopscotch Socks pattern by Heather Hill. Written for this lovely Zesty Sock yarn by Universal Yarn.

Knitting has been an act of resistance against oppression for centuries. Thanks @aoc.bsky.social for reminding folks of what a powerful symbol of liberation women's handwork is in this dark time.

Dear Modern Humans,

You thought you were so much smarter than people from the Middle Ages. But you're not.

Why do you think the dark ages lasted so long? It was because of greedy, insane despots who crushed progress and dangerous thoughts.

It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.

Finished the Mountain Mist Hat by Tin Can Knits in Wool of the Andes Worsted from Knit Picks.
It's really a gauge swatch masquerading as a cozy hat, because I am planning to knit the matching sweater.

Here's some more shackles you can break if you use Goodreads.
people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. 💙

First FO for the new place. I knit this guy and his 2 colorwork sweaters for my niece for Christmas this year. I can share them early because I don't have any relatives here yet.
