Everyone has their favorite #janeausten illustrations, and mine are those by Philip Gough, done for a British edition of her novels by Macdonald and Company in the 1940s and 50s. #booksky 📚

When I took a class on #janeausten from Juliette Wells, I didn't realize that I was embarking on a basic rethinking of both myself as a reader & fan & of the entire body of responses to & reworkings of Austen. Her book Everybody's Jane: Austen in the Popular Imagination, is a turning point #booksky

Finished my #pridemonth Fields of Brioche Shawl by Jonatan Tollow. I used @uplandfiberco.bsky.social Cor Fingering. It's a relaxing brioche project that creates a subtle yet striking effect. 🧶 #justknitting #showmeyourknits

A year ago today we asked volunteers to help transcribe Jane Austen’s older brother Frank's Memoir. The transcription is now complete and available to read online! Thank you to all the volunteers who helped us to share Frank’s story.

My #wip for #pridemonth is the Fields of Brioche Shawl by Jonatan Tollow, using @uplandfiberco.bsky.social Cor Fingering. A friend calls this my "gray scale rainbow" but the point to me is to support lgbtq makers #knitting #showmeyourknits 🧶

If you want to start to understand Stonewall and the larger struggle for lgbtq rights you can't do better than listen to the @makinggayhistory.bsky.social podcast. #pridemonth
#Pride2025 is underway! Throughout #Pride Month, we’ll be sharing the stories of history-making trailblazers featured on the podcast.

Finally blocked my 2 color version of Coastal Highway by Lisa Ross. Tried a lot of colors with the Magpie Fibers Swanky Sock Castaway but figured out it has a bluish undertone, so I ended up using Emma's Yarn Practically Perfect Sock in Orbit. 🧶 #justknitting #showmeyourknits

I definitely need one of these
Do you need a dear little green knitted Mr. Darcy frog?

Been awhile since I left my book comfort zone, but Indian Burial Ground by Nick Medina got my English major juices bubbling again. It's a fascinating genre-buster. Listening to it for the second time and looking forward to checking out his first novel. #booksky #books #reading

Profoundly disgusted and ashamed of the U.S. government's treatment of Ukrainian President Zelensky. Ukraines's security is our security. We must relentlessly oppose Russian aggression against Europe.
