I can't share my main super secret summer projects yet, but I have still been dabbling in other things in between #yarn #art

We need CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM because this basic two party system is just trash. It's hard to vote in the best candidates when they often have the least money

I'll admit I like the spools as well. I don't do a ton of embroidery so I don't have to worry about how they take up more space.

#showmeyourknits ๐Ÿงถall handspun by me, this sweater weighs in at about 2 lbs. I find it itchy even with a turtleneck, but if it gets any colder I might try it with a corduroy shirt underneath.

I decided to spin one continuous length of yarn so that I wouldn't have to add a new skein when I knit. Now I've realized that it's too gigantic (21 oz) to put it on my yarn swift, my niddy noddy or my ball winder without breaking it up anyway๐Ÿคฃ #knit #knitting #crochet #yarn #fiberarts ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿงถ

Right?! Time and time again the Dems play the moderate card and wonder why progressive voters don't come running

Ah I've done it with mitt sections before. See I knew the answer was to get all the dpns ๐Ÿ˜…

I've broken down and used a modified magic loop because I don't have a complete assortment of dpns, but in general I find dpns way more pleasant to use! Rearranging the cable isn't a big deal but it's an interruption to the rhythm of the thing. That and dpns make people think I'm a wizard ๐Ÿช„

I've never tried two at a time and after having knit one pair of socks in my whole life I don't think I could do it again without the technique. 2nd sock syndrome is the worst
