This week's #ShowMeYourKnits theme is BABY!!! These were my first two EZ's Baby Surprise Jackets, knit for a dear friend's twins. Yarn is Knit Picks Dishie. I might make them another set sometime but I will definitely make the sleeves longer! #knitsky #knitting

#Knitsky #Knitting #KnittingHelp Does anyone have a good source for undyed wool in non-white/cream colors (grays, blacks, browns)? I would really like to do an undyed/mostly undyed colorwork sweater but I'm having trouble sourcing colors that aren't just dyed to LOOK like natural sheep colors.

I'm terrible at photographing my knits, but I have some good photos of this High Desert shawl by Romi Hill for #ShowMeYourKnits green week. Yarn is Blue Moon Laci in Pistachio. #Knitting #knitsky

Everything is tied back to disability. When people are dehumanized, many do what they can to tie it to disability somehow and make it so that they don't get treated with decency. "That person is mentally ill." "They are lazy." "They're stupid." By fighting ableism, you're fighting dehumanization.

February #ReadingWrapUp! More #cosmere, because I'm deep in the rabbit hole and won't be free until I finish. #booksky

#knitsky where does one find out about #MKAL s before they start? I've always wanted to do one in real time but I only seem to find the patterns when they're done.

Can anyone actually ever get through to their senators? I call #Fetterman and #McCormick multiple times a week and have never once gotten an option other than voicemail. I feel like my emails are going into the void. #Pennsylvania

I am all for reducing plastic waste, but as someone who lives in a wet climate & has no covered porch, I very much appreciate when companies have the little checkbox to pack my order in plastic.

@fetterman.senate.gov 's contact form only has room for 1200 characters, and I have SO MUCH MORE TO SAY. #USPol #Fetterman #Pennsylvania

#knitsky #knitting #KnittingHelp Are there any good resources for adjusting the fit of raglans specifically? I'm a wheelchair user and my shoulders/upper back/upper arms are pretty muscular and they're always too tight in that area. I don't just want to size up and have things bigger in the chest.

the two wolves inside me are "knit a super traditional fair isle sweater next" and "knit a sweater with guillotines all over it"

I wish it would become a convention in #audiobooks to use some kind of audio cue to indicate a section break. A pause of some unspecified length really doesn't help, especially listening at faster speeds, and it can be confusing when the narrative suddenly shifts. #booksky #a11y

January reading wrap-up! 13 books, which is absolutely wild. Also this is my first bluesky post and I have no idea what I'm doing. #ReadingWrapUp #TheStorygraph
