Abolish ICE beanie finished. Suggested yarn for this beanie is fingering or sport weight; free pattern link below. I used some stash Camper 100% Highlands wool from Kelbourne Woolens. Will work up a version in cotton as well. #AbolishICE #knitting #knitsky 🧢

Thank you to everyone who attended the KYOA summit! I had a great time, but I'm glad to rest, relax, and knit now. Knitting helps keep me grounded when things get chaotic, does it do the same for you?
My presentation is live today! Let me know what you think! I'll also be on the panel for the Q&A session at 11 am PDT!

I got a galaxy tattoo yesterday from Ash at Laughing Fox Tattoo!
It's joy and care week for #ShowMeYourKnits and it brings me joy to knit for knit worthy people, so I wanted to share a couple projects I made for others. The hats I made for my choir carpool friends last season, the shawl I made for my grandma, and the double knit scarf was for my aunt.
Perfection isn't the goal with knitting, we knit to bring us joy! Join me at the Knit Your Own Adventure Summit Oct 7-10 to gain knitting confidence! Here's my affiliate link:

Absolutely! I'll be covering that in my presentation too, there is no wrong way to knit if you get the results you want.
Did you know that I unknowingly twisted my stitches for years? I'll be talking about it along with other mistakes I've learned from during my knitting journey! Learn how to knit like a scientist with me at the free KYOA Summit!

The event hasn't officially been announced yet, but keep your eye out, I'll be promoting it in a few weeks!
Book #16 of 2025: Secrets of Spinning, Weaving, and Knitting in the Peruvian Highlands by Nilda CallaΓ±aupa Alvarez

This seemed like an appropriate read since I'll be demonstrating Portuguese knitting at an event coming up. This really makes me want to try spinning and weaving again!
I love autumn, so it's surprising I don't have many autumnal projects for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. These are the closest I could find, clearly I need more autumn-themed knits!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
It's time for scarves for #ShowMeYourKnits this week! Here are some of my favorites. The first one is a gigantic arm knit scarf, third one was my first brioche project, the other two are double knit. Tap the last one to see the whole thing!
Book #15 of 2025: Pronoun Trouble by John McWhorter.

This book was really interesting! My only complaint is that I wish the author were more on board with neopronouns and using "it" for people who want to be referred to that way.
