My family had a relaxing and rejuvenating time on our trip with @sailbeyondcancervt This summer was full of hospital visits and trips untaken. We're so fortunate to get this time to enjoy each other's company. Our crew (and our weather) were the absolute best! #sailBeyondCancer #cancerSucks

Working on a new top for myself combining crochet and hand sewing. It's creativity and function and a little something different.

My favorite local cider place has two non-alcoholic options and they're both SO good. This new one is balanced, peppery without being hot, and just a hint of smokey. #shacksburyCider #cider #vermontByVermonters

It's May 1st! Billionaires shouldn't exist. #MayDay #mayDayStrong

Socks. Coffee. Moss. #sockKnitting #knitsky 🧶

We spent 40min on the level 2 charger, that's how long it took to get a burger at Al's Pizza Place. Then we drove 15min to a different fast charger. This isn't perfect if you've got to keep a schedule. But it's getting less frequent with more charging locations. #EVcar #driveElectric #electricCar

Just 1.5miles down the road, we're charging at the town library while we walk to a pizza place. The mid level charger is slow so we'll only stop long enough to get the range to reach the next fast charger. #EVcar #driveElectric #electricCar

I use a user-updated app to track chargers from lots of different brands. Which is great until something isn't updated. I need a charge but all 4 towers are the wrong plug type. #EVcar #driveElectric #electricCar

Fast charging is by far the most expensive option for an EV. But how much does it cost to go 91miles in your car? #EVcar #electricCar #driveElectric

First charging stop is 2hrs and 94miles in to our trip. There are a lot of mountains between home and this rest stop so my battery was down to 7% but I've done this route many times. One car plugged in but the other charger open. #electricCar #EVcar #driveElectric

We're driving my old #electricCar from North VT to South MA because - have you seen the price of gas?! Come along for the ride! My car has a small battery at 40kWh, degradation, and studded snow tires. So we're playing this game on the hard setting. #EVcar #roadTrip #driveElectric

When it's springtime, but the entire valley was covered in snow three days ago - I pick the most obnoxiously bright sock yarn in my stash! (yarn from knit.spin.farm of course) 🧶 #knitsky #sockKnitting

First socks of the year! The wedges in the cuffs are all worked with short rows. Then I left the self stripping yarn alone for the feet. It's a twist on a very old pattern.

We have a "no tech in the bedrooms" rule. I've wanted a cool wood bread box, jewelry box, cigar box, something to hide them in. But today I decided a cheap cardboard box is better than looking at that mess any longer. #thisIsKindaLikeCrafting

Windsor's shirt got ripped while playing. She attempted to stitch it up herself first, then asked for help. I'd like to note that I have no idea where she got the needle or thread. My children are becoming people who just know how to fix things! #embroidery #visibleMending

I've added a new flag to my collection. The resistance hermit thrush is by @twinkletaters.bsky.social #resist #vermontByVermonters

See this beautiful crochet? It's not mine, Owen made me a lap blanket for when I'm cold in the car. I highly recommend a thoughtful, crafty guy. #crochet 🧶 #notMyWork

If you knit a red hat and wear it to a protest, a food distribution event, or while being a public observer then great! If you knit red hats and think that's all you need to do then it's performative. Actions matter. #resist #fuckIce #fightFascism #knitsky 🧶

WWII nurses wore red lipstick on the battlefield. In 2021 citizens protested in the streets wearing pink hats. It's not lipstick or the hat that makes a protest. It's the ACTION. Wearing a pink suit does nothing unless you're physically between Al Green and security. #resist #resistFascism #protest

I think it should be obvious, but in case you haven't picked up on my position. #fuckIce #vermontByVermonters #resist

Guys! GuysGUYSguysGuysGuys! Plastic free, 100% recyclable coffee cup. I demand everyone switch immediately. Until they do I will buy all my coffees from Skinny Pancake. #plasticFree #vermontByVermonters #coffeeToGo #skinnyPancake

In a year that already has too much bad news, my partner Owen has been diagnosed with Leukemia. Putting this here because not-sharing wouldn't be telling my whole story. But please don't feel the need to donate. We're lucky to be well supported. www.giveinkind.com/inkinds/B3R9...

I broke out the pressure canner and made some shelf stable meat juice! #homeCanning #foodInJars #chickenStock

The song is "Shame on You" by the Indigo Girls in 1997. Everything old is new again. #resist #indigogirls #immigrants

I made gingerbread sweaters! #cookies #baking #knitsky

Buying the whole jar is reasonable. Right? RIGHT? #knitsky 🧶 #secondHand

One gnome finished and the second is already underway! This pattern is Oh Gnome, You Didn't from Imagined Landscapes on ravelry. I put bits of pipe cleaner in their hat so the points can go in any direction! #gnomeAlong #imaginedLandscapes #knitsky 🧶

It's that time of year when I knit lots of things and take zero photos. Not because they're gifts and I'm trying to keep things a surprise. Just because we only have 8hrs 54min of daylight and I spend all of them at work and in the car. Here's a cute gnome hat in the waning blue light. #knitting 🧶

Adding to #weAintBuyingIt I never shop on a weekend meant for thanks AND I do not shop at box stores. I've switched from Amazon to local stores today and every day!

A+ to my past self for scheduling the winter tire change over for today! #vermontByVermonters #btv #winterDriving
