Your pattern shows up the variegated colourway beautifully!

This is everything!!! ❀️ I have yet to use any AI knowingly for an writing tasks for the same reason that at 55 I choose to shovel wood chips in the garden myself...use it or lose it! What else would I be saving myself for, shopping?

I am not sure who recommended I watch Inherit the Wind, but WOW! AND THANK YOU! Paying it forward here by forwarding the recommendation...1960 film telling a story from 1925...100 years ago and we are still there. I'll leave it at that.

I'm watching the nettles for when the Lady bug mating begins... currently they're all still singles on stalks, but give it 2 weeks ;)

Ladybugs in nettles always a delight.

A favorite moment last year was asking a musician friend who was knitting in a bar before her gig what she was knitting, her answer was knitting her anxiety...best answer ever I thought... Dishcloths are perfect for that. Knit onwards!

Words are like stitches..they all get strung together to make something greater than the whole, and a slow contemplative task...except when they come like a torrent, the equivalent of what I call 'drunken stitches'?

As things slide from dystopian novel to horror story in the US, this Canadian is keeping sane slowly stitching and gardening.

It's actually an unknown wool, like a targhee fleece, only grey, gifted bag of clean fleece spun and knit up likely 10 years ago?

Revisiting an old favourite, my first hand spun tank top, pattern made up as I went...moths have had their way with this, but as it has slightly felted over years, I cut out sections, and have enough raw stash wool from original to spin and patch up to get this guy back in action.

Wool is antimicrobial, we have gotten used to washing our clothes as if we are wearing polyester and it's so not required with wool!... messy eating aside of courseπŸ˜‰

Very rarely! I live in wool tank tops as my tshirt equivalent, I hang them on the line for a day after wearing, then back in the closet, probably two or three times a year they got washed? Far less then my linen knits.

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.
