Just your average part-time library worker who bikes, knits, weaves, reads genre books and plays games in their spare time. Two awesome kids and an even better spouse. Western NY.

Listening to the backlog of the @friends-table.bsky.social podcast, and once again, @notquitereal.bsky.social 's music takes my focus so I need to rewind and listen to what people are actually saying. Makes me want to take up the clarinet again. Find his Bandcamp if you aren't into AP podcasts.

Did you know that you should drive better when the weather is bad?

Gap in sock, with two stitches circled.

Gap in sock, with two stitches circled.

Pick up one stitch beyond the place you put the the afterthought heel (on each side), when you attach the heel yarn. It will make the heel slightly bigger, but it should still fit about the same.

You can also sew the hole closed with the tail of the yarn when you are weaving in the ends.

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. What fiber did you use for the reeds at the water's edge?

For a wee bit of levity, please picture the "truck-hauling monkeys' that I did when I first read the headline.

That would be a lot easier than the random assortment of S-Hooks and paper clips I used on the loose threads of my last weave. I'll have to grab some binder clips...

Can you share a link to the pattern and yarn colors you've selected. Those are delightful.

How about we fund hospitals well enough that a "normal day" in the ER doesn't involve people sitting in the hallway for 12 hours?

What yarn (weight) are you using? Diamond twill is on my list of things to try, and I'm wondering what will work best with the heddles I have. (I have two 30/10 heddles like what you're showing.)

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!

It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.

It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Warping for the next project. First time for an indirect warp, but why make it easy? 350 ends, 12', with stripes. #weaving

'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off."

'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.'

We hope neither carries you off today.

It is once again the season to get angry at people who put DISGUSTING SQUASH into things labeled pumpkin spice. All I want is the warm spices, you morons.
