Sorry for screaming but I’m REALLY EXCITED to have some joy in my life today ☀️

Is anyone else still on Instagram and if so, are you seeing an increasing number of right-wing political ads? I still scroll through there occasionally because I follow 1000+ knitting and fiber arts accounts there and it used to be a wonderful distraction from the dystopian hellscape :(

Airport knitting and Survivor!

I felt the need to cast on something immediately with my new handspun. I started a Musselburgh hat, and picked up a coordinating skein of Malabrigo Arroyo from my LYS since I won’t have enough yardage for the whole thing. This will be my travel knitting for my business trip next week 🧶

Plied and washed yarn! This is about 300 yards of sport weight in Target/bamboo/silk from Hello Yarn. Tried to split the 3 plies evenly to maintain the color changes and failed 😂. Not too muddy though.

Just bought this new design - it will be so good with handspun yarn!

I just finished my third bobbin and I am so excited to ply it! How important is it really to let the third bobbin rest first?

In light of Trump II’s first 18 days of mayhem — including his and Musk’s coup against our system of government — many are asking: “What can I do now?”

Here’s a revised and expanded list, in rough order of importance.

Hi Bluesky! I knit some mittens using some #handspunyarn. They are different sizes because the yarn 🧶 was inconsistent. It was my first attempt #handspinning on my EEW and I had no idea what I was doing. It started as a beautiful batt but I don’t remember who it was from 😭 #knitting #knitsky
