#WIP for #ShowMeYourKnits socks! quelle surprise 😂 using Eye of the Partridge on the sole, slipping the first stitch in the round had a not good effect,frogged that and try to figure out why…maybe slipping the first stitch purl-wise wyb and not wrapping the stitch? I’ll put in a lifeline first!
This week’s theme for #ShowMeYourKnits is blue (I now realize that I do reach for blue a lot) 💙
This week's #showMeYourKnits is "light and dark" in honour of the solstice. Here are some combo knits. Gnomes, DK Celestine, & an Outing Shawl.
I don't usually do stripes—well, maybe self-striping yarn. But, here are two with stripes: Finnias blanket and #4thDoctor #DoctorWho scarf, using the BBC pattern #showmeyourknits
#showmeyourknits #yellow is not my colour, but I knit with yellow for people in my world ❤️🙂 frogged her baby blanket and made a #SophieScarf and a @hunterhammersen.bsky.social mushroom (Hunter’s patterns are brilliant!) and a minion

3rd post because soooo many green things 😂 this week’s #showmeyourknits a corkscrew boa, with eyelash yarn … which came to me … somehow? I remember my hands really hurting while making this. Likely never to make another, but it gets comments from the curious
2nd post for this week’s #showmeyourknits green theme … poncho, cabled fingerless mitts, adapted 2 patterns to make WWII trigger/lobster mitts, Purl Soho’s Very Long Socks
this week’s #showmeyourknits green theme … I’ve knit more green items than I realized 😂 here are 4: Einstein Coat, drop stitch scarf, fingerless mitts, St Anthony’s toque for a friend who loses hats
#showmeyourknits #knittingWIP #WIP #inspiration My current projects: low key, not requiring too much thought, while going through my stash to try and match a pattern. One is the WWII watch cap for volunteers to knit for the navy; the other is a hand towel to use up a small amt of really nice linen
#showmeyourknits this week : sweaters (made for my girls when they were much younger.) The one sweater I knit for myself, I finally frogged after years of not wearing, and now that yarn as morphed into socks 😂
Lace❤️ for #showmeyourknits I consider myself hooked & still a beginner🙂🙂 first time I had to #frog a project…so hard 😂 #knitsky #handknitting #knittersofbluesky #laceknitting
Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal...
