Protest. Knit. Impede ICE... All at once.

Portland rocks.

#knitsky #FreeDC

Knit-in at the peaceful Portland protest. There’s mutual aid hotdog stand & lots of folks holding placards on each corner. As ICE vehicles enter & exit the crowd would holler “Quit your job!”.

To our neighbors who are being kidnapped and terrorized by ICE I say, No estás solo, you are not alone.💪🏽 🧶

Im knitting in front of a quote by Elie Wiesel, “Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must—at that moment—become the center of the universe”

I’m planning travel to war torn Portland to see my partner’s stupendous ska band Mister Blank. I struggle to decide on provisions & anti-fascist uniform. So far, my #knit #WIP, books from Powell’s & sustenance in local org yogurt & gluten free granola

What costume to wear from which I can knit?🦄 🐸🧶

Baby sweater knitting is underway for a dear friend. This is the Gerbera pattern, free on Ravelry. Yarn is CamaRose Økologist Summeruld, an organic cotton and merino wool blend. 🧶 #WIP I made lots of changes/improvements to the pattern in my Ravelry notes. #knitting ravel.me/huprice/3bdequ

#WIPWednesday ready to sew in the ends and block but she couldn’t wait to wear it. Here’s the off the shoulder cable sweater with fingerless mitten sleeves I designed with/for my daughter’s birthday. Happy Birthday! 🎉 🧶

It’s #WIP week! Working on a cable sweater design with and for my daughter. Been fun to design this with her input. Will be long sleeved with the cable detail continued down the arms when done. 🧶 #knit #ShowMeYourKnits

Such a fun weekend at Seattle’s Flock Fiber Festival. The botanical dyed bandana and double knitting classes were super informative and fun. Double knitting was/is a challenge but excited to have a new knit skill. 🧶

#WIPWednesday Breaking out the crochet hook to fix my neckline. Only 20 more rows to redo! It probably would have been quicker to unravel from the top, but I didn’t want to risk messing up my short rows or lace 🧶 #knitsky #knit #crochet

Not a lot of yellow in my knits. Gold in my Dreyma sweater and yellow stripes in Arlo’s pride month rainbow pup jumper. #ShowMeYourKnits #knitsky 🧶 🏳️‍🌈

Beautiful day for knitting and white water rafting. #ShowMeYourKnits WIP week this Memorial Day weekend. Working on the Breezy Tee using lovely locally dyed yarn. Shortly after these pics were the first rapids and my work went safely into my dry bag. 🧶 🌊

Love your climate stripes scarf! I’ve been wanting to knit a garment in climate stripes and am intimidated by figuring out how much of each color yarn is required. Your work is inspiring!

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing the pattern source - you’ve inspired me to order the book.

Woohoo for #WIPwednesday What’s your vote? I can’t decide between the plum vs sea foam for the i-cord neck, sleeves, and waist edging. This will eventually be a “Breezy Tee” using local hand dyed wool from the Acorn Street Shop in Seattle. 🧶
