I have no idea why. At first, I thought it was a soup recipe. We ate it like soup but added some pasta.

My main complaint about the recipe is that I didn't need one to make this. It was fine, just very basic.

I added mushrooms and a little bullion and paired the soup with grilled cheese. It was OK, but wouldn't be an adequate meal without the sandwich. 2 people had almost no leftovers, which means we both ate a lot of butter. In the future, i'd add some sort of greens and beans to make this a meal.

I'm making this and we will see how it goes

Has anyone done a study on how a person's weight affects the wear and tear on their clothes? I have a theory.

Brioche Horn Hat pattern by Xandy Peters This playful brioche stitch hat uses a clever increase and decrease method to create 3D sculptural horns. The design began with curiosity about combining the Stacked Stitch technique with brioche stit...

I'm the celebrating October by publishing a fun #briochestitch hat pattern with 3d horns. There are so many costume possibilities! #knitting #handmade www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

It's a tutorial!

I'm currently blocking a stunning, if I do say so, shawlette I made for a sweet friend's birthday. I made a DK version of @xandypeters.bsky.social's Feather Flame pattern, using @isasaxonists.bsky.social's Republic of Yarnia Wintery Muse yarn from last year's Antiracist Craft Club. 🧶

It's almost as ridiculous as the way physicists at University research facilities treat the knitting machine technicians who are, generally, the ones actually doing the stitch development and engineering, not just the mathematics to explain the fabric.

Obviously physicists, especially those who knit, understand knitting as well as anyone else. They just can't quantify some of these properties using mathematical expressions yet. I don't know why all the knitters are acting like they can do physics better than the physicists.

Anyone with eyes can see straight through a pair of pantyhose, but the only formulas that could explain the properties of knit fabric assumed that the fabric was 100% dense and as the yarn traveled across each row of fabric it had to touch the other yarns.

I often tell my knitting students that physicists are stupid for not discovering that yarn can slide until the year 2015. The example I give is pantyhose. They are made out of a non-stretch filament, yet the fabric stretches because yarn is able to slide between the stitches.

I'm a knitting designer, instructor and stitch innovator with a STEM background. I watched the controversial scishow knitting episode and didn't see a lot wrong with it. @hankgreen.bsky.social

YouTube video by Woolly Wormhead About My Short Row ColourWork Technique

My latest YT video has gone live & it's not a tutorial!

I explain how I developed my technique & why, & how it's different to other methods of creating colourwork with short rows. It's something I discuss in my book/classes/lectures, it was tricky trying to keep it short 🧶

We’re so excited!
LYS welcomes Xandy Peters to the Lancaster Winter Knitter’s Retreat January 9 - 11, 2026! Local fiber artist Sarah Ulrich *and others* round out a cozy weekend of knitting and community. Join us at the William H Montgomery mansion in Lancaster, PA. Details on our website!

I read the whole thread before asking this. There were two firsthand accounts of bugs in yarn. The rest were people saying they found bugs months after stashing the yarn, secondhand accounts, and speculation about the bedbug situation in the city of Columbus.

If I found bug damage in a package of yarn that I had JUST OPENED, I'd take pictures. The one time I had an issue with damaged yarn, the pictures helped prove that UPS damaged the package and it was much easier to resolve. PICS BEFORE AND AFTER OPENING!!!

Idk why they can only use brown. I'm not a cowboy. NYC wants bags with black leather accents.

I saw the one post on reddit, but no other people affected. Bugs can also get in through the mail. Have we confirmed that there are multiple shipments from the knitpicks warehouse with this problem?

Is this real? Please tell me that you got them to make canvas bags with BLACK leather accents.

I did some math: If the big bill goes through, my healthcare cost will go up 2000%

If somebody with dementia is awake all night, can they still be sundowning after the sun comes up?

For worldwide knit in public day, I decided not to stick to my knitting. There were other, important things going on. #knitsky

Tiny yarn library full of yarn.

So cute! #showmeyourknits 🧶

What's one knitting technique that you'll never try?
For me, it's Mosaic knitting. It's very similar to stranded color work, but only one yarn is worked at a time. I think it would feel tedious to me. #knitsky #fiberartist #knitting

Is that Pasadena?
