Here's my test project, coincidentally in a similar color to the originals. These are so cozy in KnitPicks Upcycle Alpaca Sport. The simple textured pattern is very satisfying and makes it easy to count rows if you go on autopilot and lose track. #knitsky #knitting 🧶
A pair of handknit green fingerless mitts in a textured pattern have a rustic halo from the recycled alpaca yarn used. They're on an abstract blue/grey background.

The Kitchen Table Cardigan from @hookmountainknits.bsky.social is done! Here's mine, complete with the mismatched buttons you helped me pick. I'm short, so my pockets (& everything else) is shorter than the original. Get it by 9/29 for a discount! www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knitting #knitsky🧶

I'm excited to have the body of my test of this year's @tellybeanknits.bsky.social Halloween sweater nearly done! It's still Wednesday until I've slept! #WIPWednesday #knitting #knitsky 🧶
A handknit sweater with just the yoke and body knit, ribbing and sleeves still to go. It's got an orange neck followed by stranded sections of a celestial scene in black and cream, flaming cauldrons in black and orange on cream, poison bottles in white on purple, cats and bats in black on cream, crystal balls in white on purple, and witch hats in back on cream, with green vertical stripes between each section. It's on a denim mannequin with a black and blue graveyard scene in the background.

That seems to be the consensus, including from the designer!
A collage of 2 photos framed in red, pink, yellow, and blue with bubbly hearts. The main photo shows a chunky greige sweater with mismatched plastic buttons in purple, pink, red, orange, and yellow. The inset shows the pocket ribbing pulled down to reveal the secret pink pocket interior with the matching pink button placed just above it.

My #KitchenTableCardigan test for @hookmountainknits.bsky.social has been done for almost a month...except for buttons. I'm terrible at choosing buttons. I'm currently leaning towards the bright mismatched plastic ones to coordinate with my secret pink pocket. #WIPWednesday #knitting #knitsky 🧶
A collage of 9 images of the same bulky greige sweater cropped close to just the body, each with a different set of 5 buttons laid out on the button band. In a close-up of a pocket of a bulky greige handknit sweater, a hand folds down the ribbing to reveal that the interior of the pocket is hot pink. A hot pink button sits just above the pocket.

I'm really proud of the shoulder graft on my #KitchenTableCardigan test for

And excited for that secret pop of pink in my pocket! #WIPWednesday #knitting #knitsky 🧶

This is what inspirobot.me gave me to head into 2024 with. Really not helpful, thanks.
A greyscale image of a woman in a bathing suit or leotard kneeling, leaning forward, with her hands behind her, and her short hair blending into a wispy image of... smoke maybe? It's on a black background with white text "Good thinkers explode easily"

2/3 of these fully grown chickens still use their baby voices and I'm such a sucker for it.
3 chickens, one black, one black and white laced, and one ombre grey, stand on a large tree stump drinking from a blue water bottle.

What's a random quote from the Simpsons that pops into your head all the time?
Homer is standing in the living room holding a waffle in both hands chewing his first bite of it "mmmm... sacrilicious"

A common mnemonic for knitting is "Stab it, strangle it, scoop out its guts, throw it off a cliff". I repeated that action 2,835 times to knit this dishcloth.
A handknit blue cotton dishcloth reads FUCK TRUMP in textured letters with a textured border. It's sitting on a light blue background with white clouds.

I also have a fluffy black foster fail who liked to stand on my head and shoulders! (She has settled for a lap in her old age.)
A young black chicken with brown chest feathers is standing on her person's upper back. You can just see the person's shoulder, ear, and hat brim.

Back at ya!

I hope I hit all the important notes today #September21 #NationalPecanCookieDay

I also don't get what's complicated about this, though I do recognize it's not a fancy letter on letterhead like Redimask has. (Adding this for the benefit of others reading the convo, not to drag you into further details.)
A screenshot of a box labeled "Attention" in EnvoMask instructions which shows that there is a metal spring in a pinch lock that holds the cords tight and reads "both Holo and QuickFit Headgear cord locks have an internal metal spring. Remove cord lock in places where metal is a hazard such as MRI and X-ray machines."

#WFH works! Stop forcing people back to the office to soothe management egos.

Screenshot from Morning Joe on MSNBC shows a quote from USA Today: LABOR DAY RETURN TO OFFICE MANDATES YEARN FOR 'NORMAL.' BUT THE PRE-COVID WORKPLACE IS GONE. Research has found employees are more productive at home, that eliminating the commute adds hours to their days, and that back-to-office mandates seem arbitrary, suggesting employers don't trust them. -Joanne Lipman

We get backyard bunnies a lot, but it's a rare treat when they don't bolt on sight. After the chickens were locked up for the night, this one was collecting twigs for her(?) nest while her partner stood guard. After a while he(?) trusted me enough to sprawl out comfortably.
Video screencap of a brown bunny so close that my knee is in the lower left of the frame A brown bunny with twigs in her(?) mouth stands on all four legs in front of Oregon grape plants A brown bunny sits upright, ears alert, watching guard over his(?) partner (not in frame). There are backyard fences on 2 sides of him and a tree stump and Oregon grape behind him. The shot is taken from behind the edge of a shed on the left of the frame. The same brown bunny has relaxed and sprawled out in the dirt, laying on his belly in the same spot where he was standing guard
