Two women take a selfie in front of a museum display, a large model of a ichthyosaur, a dolphin-like ancient marine reptile with a long teethed mouth and fins.
Learned all about Ichthyosaurs at the @denvermuseumns.bsky.social
Did you know these mesozoic marine reptiles had the largest eyes ever recorded? 10 inches!

Photo of a trans comedian on stage and the crowd watching, laughing and filming. The venue has murals on the walls and a junkyard art vibe.
Laughed myself silly at an amazing show put on by @renqcomedy.bsky.social and local trans comedians at the #heretopee tour.
They're taking the show to all 50 states, and it's a can't miss π€£π€£π€£

Just got back from an amazing Disney vacation with my mom!
We were living in the moment without social media, so now y'all get my photo slideshow over the next few days π
A work-in-progress knit sweater. It has been knit from the bottom up in a sky blue with a set of purple, blue and teal stripes most recently near the needles.
Finally got to the fun stripey part of my Stripetastic Sweater π
Pattern by @andreagaughanknits.bsky.social
And since it's mostly blue, I'll go ahead and call this my #SkyKAL project πππ¦
Learned how to use one of those neat triple-latch-hook tools to apply an I-cord directly to knitting!
(Tool is from Twice Sheared Sheep and they have video tutorials on their shop website)
Four yarn projects laid out next to a bingo board. In the background is a storage tub with more yarn projects.

Finally comfortable enough with my drop spindle to handle walking AND spinning!!!

Intro post!
Hey all, I'm Amanda (she/her) from the Colorado π
I read (horror & queer romance), and I'm a hiker, a gamer, a cat mom and love all fiber arts!
I've used IG to document my stitching for years now. But I'm excited to treat bluesky as a place to be a little more casual with my posts.
