Thank you!

Percy Shawl pattern by Sanne Kalkman Some of the comments said that it is unclear that you should work the charts in the other direction after the center stitch.

Not only is this one on Ravelry, it's a free download!

Thank you! This is one of the best things I've ever knit (if I do say so myself). And the yarn is my all-time favorite for lace.

And one last shawl to round out my #laceposting for #showmeyourknits this week.

My real love is Estonian lace; I'll always go for anything with nupps.

I don’t think he’s getting that Nobel Peace Prize

Look where so many people falling for the excuse that “it was only locker room talk” has gotten us.

Another Trump Goon Mansplains Religion to the Pope A Trump loyalist thinks he can teach the pope a thing or two about God.

I haven't identified as Catholic for many, many years, but this made my head explode even more violently than most headlines lately.

(I wonder what Sister Anacleta would have had to say.)

BREAKING: Democrats just called for Trump to Testify under oath:

Robert Garcia:

“Republicans have now set a new precedent.  To bring in presidents and former presidents to testify… We are now asking and demanding that President Trump officially come in and testify before the Oversight committee.“

If Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, who were NOT mentioned over a million times in the Epstein files, can testify before Congress about Jeffrey Epstein, then so can Donald J. Trump, who was.

“I’m not here to talk about my feelings” is the most Hillary Clinton statement of all time. 😂

Who the fuck did they think they were talking to?

A snowshoe siamese cat supervises the knitting of a red hat.

#knittinghelp

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

If you have read about the hats, but aren't up on the backstory.

People acting like CBS in 2026 bending a knee to Trump is new forget that CBS in the ‘60s canceled “The Smothers Brothers” because Nixon didn’t like their criticism of the Vietnam War.

I read about this yesterday and can't stop thinking about what this man's last days looked like. But the story doesn't seem to be catching the way it should. Make this viral!

Thanks, Beth!

In a nutshell.

A+ State of the Union counterprogramming by TCM.

The real winners from the State of the Union address will be everyone who doesn’t watch it.

From one caregiver to another, knitting/spinning/crochet/weaving/cross stitch/whatever goes a long way towards helping with sanity. If you can find a few fiber friends (virtual or otherwise) who are in similar circumstances, even more so. Take care of yourself.

BREAKING: The State of the Union has been changed to The Airing of Grievances.

I know it would just make my head explode; I avoid listening to him speak at all these days. Gonna keep an eye on the alternatives. 👋👋👋

Things to do tomorrow night while not watching the State of the Union address:

- Alphabetize your spice rack
- Teach your dog to filibuster.
- Try explaining crypto to a houseplant.
- Text an ex “we need to talk”
- Watch paint dry.

I’d rather shove a hot poker in my eye than watch Trump’s State of the Union address tonight. How about you?
#SOTU

On a backyard deck, two snow-covered dark blue Adirondack chairs with a small table, all buried in about a foot of snow.

... and just about 24 hours later. Probably close to a foot, but it blew around quite a bit, so hard to measure.

May be of interest for those #knitters who are bi-stitchual ( #knit / #crochet )
