After hoping for 22 months straight that something would change for the better in US politics, and finally witnessing the blue tsunami, I am absolutely numb. I can't parse it. It doesn't feel real.

knitty.com : the free online knitting + fibercraft mag, est. 2002. Amy, editor (she): est. quite a bit before that. 🧶 FREE, thanks to guild.knitty.com #knitting #crochet #AuDHD #science #compassion #CDN #hamont 🇨🇦 Perpetually covid vaxxed💉 Fuck AI.
Funniest thing. I went to my laptop to book covid + flu shots for me + hub. It forced me to chat with an AI bot that got tied up in knots, even though I answered its questions. I closed the chat window. Called the pharmacy who already had all our info from '25. Booked appts in 3 minutes. #fuckAI
Meanwhile in #hamont, ZERO results in almost 2 hrs after polls closed. In Ward 7, the lines at G. Armstrong did not move at 5 pm for at least a half hour. I'm guessing some people were still in line at poll close time? Also heard about a power outage in one ward. Ah, the joys of living in Hamilton
Hey, Toronto, did you make the right decision after all? Crossing fingers for all my friends there! #TOpoli
Okay, anti-AI enthusiasts, please share your solid personally used recommendations for anti-AI fonts and image shields. I want to encorporate them in Knitty going forward, if they will work for us. #AIsucks #blockAI #AI #whatfuckinghashtagsdoweuseforthis #noAI
Knitty is in the process of leaving Facebook, and Instagram is likely next. Fuck Meta. Those seeking more *stuff* from us, like photos and longer posts, will find it at guild.knitty.com. Free account is free, but has stuff! Tell me. Are you here, yarn folk? Do you want more Knitty presence? 🧶

A new subReddit! I started F1forAll after attending my first grand prix in Montreal last month. So much of what I experienced was super fun, exciting and more than I could have hoped for, but... www.reddit.com/r/F1forAll/ ...more #f1 #accessibility #disability #mobility #formulaone 🏎️ 🏁
Doctor Who fans, help? I vividly remember an episode where everyone in the world is unable to resist getting a free cell phone. Soon everyone has them. And then bad things happen. Am I misremembering? Was it not Doctor Who? Google and DW episode lists are failing me.
Half-assed PT eval diagnosed carpal tunnel (aaaagh) and dequervain’s. Going to a new PT Tuesday for (hopefully!) more than just a cursory set of tests and a 5-minute laser session. Google reviews lie. Take care of your hands and writer, folx. I’m going stir crazy trying to rest mine. 🤦🏻♀️
I’m freaking out. I spent quite a bit of time playing a PS5 game (borderlands 4). For several months. And over the last week, I’ve been crocheting up a storm on a hexagranny cardigan. This morning, my right hand was numb. One of the 2 hands I had fixed with carpal tunnel surgery 10 years ago.
Want to hear me (editor, Amy) on stimulants, talking about Knitty? farmfiberknits.com/long-thread-... I was only on 2nd line meds (Strattera) for ADHD until recently. I added Concerta in a few months ago. I think I can hear the difference in this interview. Talk faster, fewer brain glitches. Crazy.
FYI, if I see you posting or reposting AI media of any kind, instant unfollow. #noAI
While we're talking menopause and HRT, this is very important info that I didn't get until I was 63. Even if you can't take HRT, vaginal estrogen (like Vagifem) is for more than sexual function. It helps keep your urinary tract functioning properly. The importance of this cannot be overstated.
While we're talking, if you're in peri-menopause and haven't talked to your doctor about hormone replacement therapy, PLEASE DO ASAP. Learn your options. New science in the last year shows the risk is much less than previously believed, and you have a short window to start before it's unsafe.
Just back from the Hamilton Fibre Market at the Cotton Factory and it was great! I usually don't buy much as a wool allergic knitter, but I got to buy a batt of local wool for a friend who's a spinner and very far away. Can't share because I don't know if she's on here. www.thefibreforge.ca 🧶

Oh, that the rest of America would follow suit and do the same as @knitty.com. There are plenty other ways to do affiliate linking. Someone surely is compiling a list of alternatives folks can start with. #AffiliateLinks #Amazon #EveryEffortCounts
knitty® | editor, Amy Sadler@knitty.com · 2y agoToday, Knitty removed Amazon links from our Cool Stuff page in the latest issue. Knitty supports small, independent businesses, and for truth in news media. Amazon is an active force in destroying both. We're done. Amazon links from back issues will be removed as soon as possible. 🧶
Where my late-diagnosed neurodivergent peeps at? AuDHD, diagnosed last year. I'm 64. How's that for late? The ADHD diagnosis happened in the early stages of the pandemic. That meant titrating meds when my anxiety level was already off the charts.
Hey, y'all. I'm back. My spoons are regenerating, sort of. Next post will talk about why, for those who have the #audhd
"Capable and straightforward guidance" is the cozy knitting approach we need right now, am I right? Thanks, @knitty.com, for this review of MATH FOR KNITTERS, by @kateatherley.bsky.social! Read the whole thing at knitty.com/ISSUEw25/FEA....
That thing where you unsubscribe to a mailing list and, after a while, they think you forgot you unsubscribed so they start mailing you again? 1. Illegal in Canada. 2. I'm 100% certain it has a name in marketing circles. Anyone know what it is? 3. Cut it out. #advertising #marketing #shady
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.
Catharine McLaren@catharinemc.bsky.social · 12mo agoalso, 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
"And now on Channel 4, a new show in which people who aren't very good at it, knit objectively awful things to ruin the reputation of the craft forever" #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? 🧶 #hamont
Changes are afoot at the Knitty Guild! We're moving to monthly Subscription billing, like the whole rest of the world already uses! Here's the good news for you...
