Working on three WIPs right now just to keep my hands busy and my brain distracted. Knitting is my meditation. 🧶

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. — Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

A lovely night at Zoo Lights and a rare opportunity to wear a knit scarf.

who vilified community college? bc here in Oakland you can take classes on anything for cheap or even free and it's an unmitigated good and even though I took those classes in high school and benefited from them I left feeling like adults who take them are losers and that SUCKS

Knitting away on this Bojagi Shawl. Great travel knitting. Just enough to keep my attention but not so much I need the pattern open constantly.

This is what the barrel cactus looks like when it’s going into bloom. This is right down the street from me. They are pretty ugly the rest of the year, but I appreciate them for this. 🌱 🪶 🌵 🌺

Went into see lights in St Augustine last night and then walked across Lion Bridge before calling Uber because traffic was absolutely mad.

I knit #04 Cable Scarf by Hannah Wallace (on Ravelry and in Knit Simple Magazine, Holiday 2012) in Kid Silk. It's lightweight & frothy in reality. I gifted it to my bestie & have another in a bronze on the needles for me.
