A compound raglan starting to compound. One of my favorite parts 🥰 🧶

That I met you one ordinary Thursday 25 years ago and we went on to create this ridiculously full life is magical. You make me brave, you make me feel safe, you made me believe I am lovable. I am the luckiest for having walked into that ice cream shop that February day. 💙 @hammerpants99.bsky.social

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

It's like every hazy amazing dream 💜

I *love* it! And your Suri silk is divine 😍

Just testing a yarn combo for a #doppiosweater 🧶

This sweater is a stash busting opportunity at it's finest 💙🧶

"Nothing says I'm a pro-life Christian quite like taking WIC formula away from infants."

I can't rave about this pattern and this yarn enough. This lace yoke??It's just the most perfect combination. 🥰🧶

We told you.
We told you.
We told you.

all you people who told us to calm down can go fuck yourselves

Except that doomscrolling makes wish I were still drinking even more! So far, I'm distracting my brain with romance/romantasies, yarn, and fantasizing about home decor.

Yeah. And it's looking like 18-24 months before book 4.

Be forewarned (because I was not 🤣) that it's a 5 book series and only 3 have been released. It could be a few years before we have the whole series!

Ravelry

That's why I just finished a re-read of the first two! I couldn't remember Iron Flame *at all*. It's the Hide and Peak pattern from Maxim Cyr for my husband 💙

I love a great pattern and will buy great patterns all day every day for... Everything because I'm not interested in self-drafting. But it is why I tend to stick to limited designers. I'm challenging myself to branch out this year.

Yes! Sure,*I* know how to manipulate a pattern to do what it should/what I need, but I'm not a new knitter. I know several test knitters who can and will do both - read and provide feedback from a new knitter perspective AND provide feedback on how they changed it to work.

Listening to Onyx Storm and starting my first stranded colorwork sweater!

But really. I'm uninterested in paying good money for shitty patterns, which definitely stops me from supporting new-to-me designers unless there are a good number of projects with commentary on the pattern.

And sometimes the designers are prolific and extremely popular and their patterns are still poorly written 😬

Rom-coms/romantasies and yarn are saving me. And searching for thrifted/used, reasonably priced Lego sets for Matty.

Huge HRT proponent over here! Life altering. But man, alcohol will bring back the night sweats and hot flashes so fast.

If I'm not drinking because it fucks with *every* menopause symptoms, I'm not interested in an increased cancer risk, and I already worry enough about dementia... How are we surviving this time period? Please and thank you.

This is stunning!

The firehose of bad news is doing it's job.

We're still talking about the J6 Pardons and he's moved on to withdrawing fro WHO, gagging the CDC & halting NIH research.

The KKK is distributing fliers in Cincinnati. ICE is getting ready to raid blue cities in red states. And the Media can't keep up.

Thank you!! Your yarn is *scrumptious*!!

Thank you!!

Thank you!

I doubt it will be my last!

There are ends to weave and more aesthetic photos to take but this newly finished sweater is definitely one of my favorite things! 🧶
