I am a Los Angeles native, as is my mom. My dad and grandparents, however, were from Chicago. I’m not a baseball fan, but I wept when the Cubs won the 2016 World Series because I wished my grandpa could have seen his dream come true. This is a long-winded way of saying I stand with Chicago.

It’s amazing how much knitting you can get done if you ignore housework. 😁

Started these Friday night and now I’m about to turn the heels. 🧶🧦

I think socks are my favorite thing to knit.

The pattern is #barricanesocks by @daisystitches. I love how this Very Berry sock yarn from @jamjaryarns in Papaya is knitting up. The colorway was my mom’s pick for her birthday socks. 🧶🧦

Jumped on the stash bust along bandwagon and cast on a #brioripple wrap by #westknits.

Knitting 100% from stash, just from partially used skeins, and am putting color combinations together as I go. 🧶

Still life with yarn and lemons, or delving into stash to start a #westknits #brioripplewrap.

I was feeling confident until I realized how many choices I have… and I didn’t even pull out my #miniskeins. 🧶

A pair of ombré socks with a lace leaf border alongside moss stitch in the from and stockinette in the back are displayed on a garden wall. Behind the socks is an inverted terra cotta pot in a bed of oxalis, and to the right is a stone frog sculpture. The yarn deepens from a bright lime green at the cuff to a dark teal at the toe.

The author of this piece was an associate WH counsel under Reagan. He has a very polite way of explaining that what Trump is doing with DOGE is a coup. wapo.st/4hSE7Ox

Loved #knitting the yoke on the #TrueNature sweater by #TellyBeanKnits. Good thing, since, despite swatching, I realized it was going to be way too big. Frogged and sized down. 🤞

Using the upcoming debt ceiling fight to cage the Trump Regime's illegal abuse is a BRILLIANT idea. Shut👏it👏down👏! Make sure Elon Musk and Peter Thiel don't get a damned dime.
