I moved my desk and now I get to look at my tangerine tree.

Silvery grey for #ShowMeYourKnits - I don’t do a lot of grey, not by itself anyway. Pitfalls of working for a dyer - there are too many exciting colors! 🧶

Tiny amounts of knitting are all I can manage right now, but it’s better than zero knitting. 🧶
PT is helping, slowly but surely.
Pattern is Moon in Red by Paola Albergamo.

Happy Birthday! Sending some sunshine in the form of oranges. I loved how they caught the light.

🪲 Figeater beetle, Cotinis mutabilis, for #ArtAdventCalendar today. One of these chunky guys nearly took me out at the knees in San Diego! I love to see big insects like these.

Closeup of my latest knitted scarf design for #ArtAdventCalendar today! I loved choosing the next color, and the next, and the next, and how the whole thing ends up looking almost woven. 🧶

Introducing Revisited, my last pattern release for 2025 - and it’s free on @knitty.com!
Knit lengthwise, this scarf lets you use up even your smallest fingering weight scraps. From a distance, the colors blend; up close, they pop. It’s reversible and self-fringing, too!

My photo of Claude, from 10 years ago or so, from an evening event. I’d want to avoid people, too.

Today in #ArtAdventCalendar, commemorating a local legend. Claude was an albino alligator who lived at the Cal Academy of Sciences. Rest well, Claude.

On day 2 of #ArtAdventCalendar, we open the little door to find… oak leaves. I love their shapes. I love that native oaks support so much life.
