Many, many of us want change. Unfortunately, the party in power does not. And that's how it's been for decades, regardless of who's in power. The Second Amendment of the Constitution is, apparently, more important than anything else for a lot of people here. Terrible.

Purple sock on left foot, still on needles, only long enough to cover toes. Green lawn and dirt road in foreground and Green Mountains in background under puffy clouds.

Working on my first socks, 2 at a time on magic loop. Was feeling mighty accomplushed until I noticed the terminal laddering on the sides 😑 🧶

I attended a political protest yesterday for the first time in my life. Smallish (a few hundred), peaceful, friendly, rainy. Inspiring. Empowering. Incredible support from folks driving by.

And I sang the national anthem, into a bullhorn. Twice 😊🇺🇲

Donate? Encourage others to attend?

It is!

I never heard it called an elastic until I moved to Massachusetts. It's a rubber band in New York State.

Don't get me started on the great bubbler vs. drinking fountain debate 🙄

I'm more concerned about the lack of coffee! Thoughts and prayers 🙏☕️

Same shawl, pinned and wired for drying. It's a small shawl and will likely be worn more as a scarf or cowl.

Drying on the mats!

Blue shawl with stockinette body and knitted lace border. Still on the circular needles, which have daisy stitch stoppers on the ends

I'm always so jealous of other knitters' relaxed Sunday morning knitting posts. I work on Sundays so can't ever knit in the morning 😫 but I'm having a lovely time on this Monday holiday morning 🇺🇲 😊

I am in on the sock part...dying to knit my first pair!

Good question! I've never attempted socks before, hence my cluelessness! But I know myself well enough that I'll stand a better chance of making a pair if I do both socks at the same time. So it sounds like the circs I have may be the right size. Thank you!

My bad...47"! But they are in 6 sizes and were quite the bargain so if they prove too unwieldy for socks, I will keep them for the day I attempt a giant lace project 😊 thanks!

Hey #knitsky--

Those of you who knit socks 2 at a time: how long of a circular needle do you use? I just bought some 40" and it seems far too long for magic loop for socks

Also, how would I ever use a size 0 or 1, 40" circular? Thinking about returning them. But maybe they'd be useful someday?

Beautiful! Could you share the pattern name and yarn, please?

Wishing I wore it to work today. It's chilly!

Me, too. It also helped me remain calm during flight delays and scary turbulence last week ✈️

When I started knitting about a year and a half ago, I wanted to spend less time scrolling and to be creative in a tangible way. I am here to report that it's working, and the mental health benefits have been an unexpected bonus. 🧶

What an amazing story 💙

Beautiful!

May they rest in peace.

That is exactly what I read yesterday. Oh well...

Stranded colorwork cowl in shades of pink, burgundy and beige. It is still on the needles with about another inch and a half of colorwork to knit before adding the top ribbing and binding off.

Nearly finished with my first stranded colorwork cowl and just learned that it matters which color yarn is held in which position 😵‍💫

No, I will not be frogging it. I'll block it, wear it proudly, and hold the yarn correctly going forward.

Yes. Yes I did

Insomnia knitting. Doodle Cowl by Pacific Knits. My first project with Malabrigo Rios and I am in love with it. But it's after midnight and I need to try to sleep.

If I can't, well, I'll be back.

Was trying to fall asleep last night and realized I was thinking about yarn for my next project 🤣🧶
