#knitting ISSUES. a series of misjudgments in knitting a bottom-up sweater despite counting and measuring. I seamed one shoulder and it’s obvious the head hole is too small. Considering adding a lifeline and ripping it back to before the short rows. 🫩

I'm proud of how many Americans haven't taken the bait the republicans keep dangling in front of us trying to incite all out political violence against the people.

The chuds are like "bloodshed is coming, we are in danger" while wine moms are knitting "Truck Fump" into a child's cardigan.

I made a crochet/knitting workshop @ work and a very nice guy came and said "I wanted to make something new, I'm currently making origami fractals so I wanted to change a bit".
Only in labs can you hear the concept of "origami fractals", I love it here

At least 2 historians agree: this is it. We’re in the coup.

Trump wants us to revolt, so that he can do the insurrection act. Stay nonviolent. Reach out to yer congress people. Get involved Community

screenshot of a tweet from the snarky (but real!) Gov. Newsom Press Office account showing a photo of a windowed White House entrance over which Donald Trump has plastered one of his tacky gold-painted Home Depot ornamental friezes and beside which, as if that wasn't horrible enough, someone had *taped up* LOL a label in large, gold, Edwardian script--printed on office paper + reminiscent of a post-it for an <ahem> dementia sufferer--reading "The Oval Office." Except in the Newsom photo, the gilded script, in true Home Goods remainder-table style, reads, "Live Laugh LOSE" LOLOL.

You know you're in a small city in a very rural area when there's a store advertising they specialize in yarns and specialty beers. Guess those knitters like to knock one back.

3 mental shifts happy knitters make:

β€’ From product to process: letting go of perfection and embracing the rhythm of stitches

β€’ From pressure to pleasure: seeing knitting as self-care, not another task on the to-do list

β€’ From mistakes are failures to mistakes are teachers

Throwback Thursday for me. Started Quant headband from Knitty (not sure what year, but designer is Star Athena). I am using Mochi Plus by Crystal Palace from my stash. I haven't made this in years! I am thinking the pattern is from 2007 or 08??

Knitting shouldn’t induce anxiety. If you’re knitting to impress, you’re doing it wrong.
Relax and enjoy your craft
