If you haven’t taken an ICE watch training yet, ICIRR is offering weekly trainings. Join a community defense group in your neighborhood, cover the city in signs and symbols that show them we resist, use your privilege to waste their time, throw shade and shame, get creative.

What a great idea to create options based on shoulder width!

One more week. Forty Love releases Wednesday, August 27th

This pattern features my gender inclusive sizing. Each chest size is graded twice based on shoulder width. Im wearing a Broad Shoulder size and Alexis is wearing a Narrow Shoulder size.

A man and woman stand in front of a iron gate and a black door. Both of them wear a knitting pattern called Forty Love. The man wears a vest knitted without intarsia and the woman wears a full sleeved sweater with intarsia that is knitted to a cropped length.

I will probably always think of this as my Chicago sweater since I knit so much of it there this week.

I knew that Operation game would come in handy one day. I decided the silvery color was too light and pulled it out.

I think about that day all the time. In Pittsburgh folding chairs are used to hold parking spots on the street so they are everywhere.

Started adding some highlights to the hair. Not much yet but it'll make a huge difference. Also a close up of an arm for no reason.

Finalized the skirt and more progress on the hair. Alittle more work on the hair. After that, just need to finish the outline, add stars, and add a few feathers.

A white silk skirt stained with dirt and blood blows in the wind. A woman's foot is just visible underneath.

A painting of a woman in a white dress that's covered in blood from wounds on her back where wings have been shorn off. Her dark brown hair blows in the wind against a night sky.
