If you don't have a library card, you should get a library card. Once you have that library card, you should get the Libby app. Once you get the Libby app, go browse the newsstand. Good chance your library card gives you access to ALL THE MAGAZINES. I'm talking the real good shit. AND BACK ISSUES.

Oh ffs, this is just stupid and lazy. Not a trace of real interest in showing how knitting works.

Everyone's being let down by #Gameofwool, even Tom Daley. I'm very disappointed in the judges not insisting on better. Surprised no-one jumped ship when they realised quite how rubbish it really is.
also, WHAT IS THIS AI SLOP DOING ON THE KNITTING SHOW?

it's becoming so obvious that the producers don't actually care about knitting at all and just wanted a quirky game show format #GameofWool

Treated myself to one of the few non-wool beauties at today’s Hamilton Fibre Market @ Cotton Factory. Black to orange gradient named “I Choose the Bear.” Hell yes I do! Dyer is Stitch Noir 🖤Alpaca/linen(!!)/silk - great for someone who overheats easily (me).

What shawl should I knit?

Storytime. Buckle up.

Yesterday, hub, lovely inlaws and Skypuppy and I were driving to Ajax on the 407 (highway). The rain was coming down hard, and visibility wasn't great. Grey everywhere around, but I could at least see the cars around me in all directions.

I was driving, and not enjoying it.

Antifa, help me! I need an idea for my sign for tomorrow's #NoTyrants protest in Toronto. Would love it to involve being a knitter, but cannot come up with something and will not use AI to help.

Anyone? I've got markers and foam core. Just need the right words.

Because I have seaming to do on a large project, and stitches to pick up on a second sock, I felt compelled to cast on this brilliant @knitty.com design called Conditional Love. 🧶
I'm totally smitten, in the nerdiest, dorky way! 🤓

Let's take a look at the patterns in Knitty's Deep Fall '25 issue!⁠ (Reminder: All Knitty patterns are FREE!)

First we have Sweetie Jar by @harvie.kate. This yummy jacket is designed to fit loosely so that it can be worn over a thinner sweater as an extra layer. The textured stripe pattern...

Two days ago, I had tiny needles shoot goop into the varicose vein on the back of my left leg. The hardest part? The sensory nightmare of a tensor bandage falling off when it's supposed to be snug to make the treatment work.

Vetwrap saved the day for my thigh but didn't have enough for whole leg.

Knitters, have you ever knitted the body of a dropped-shoulder pullover flat (front, back separate), and sleeves in the round? Will sewing up be a nightmare?

I like the idea of making the sleeves in the round but my brain doesn’t parse spatial stuff well so I can’t picture if I can make it work. 🧶

Knitty has it right.

Funny enough, when I was in the planning for my podcast, I kept getting advice to use AI for scripting, for graphics, for subject matter, whathaveyou. No thanks. I’d rather be my authentic weird self, and I’d rather consume real content from real people.
In all my "Knitty doesn't use AI" messaging, I forgot that designers might want to turn to it for a tweak to their intro or a tarting-up of their photos. Whoops.

It's now in the Submission Guidelines, and is the last item to confirm on the Submission Form. We don't do AI. Please you don't either.

I saw something on a major news show yesterday that gave me JOYOUS HOPE for society.

Some parents have rejected cell phones for their kids, installing landlines instead. It's spreading among friend/family groups. It's healthier. SO SMART.

Most use a regular phone. There's also this: tincan.kids
