I hear you, I’m in the same boat- but have given myself a little leeway with knitting and its accouterments since I swear that is the only thing that has been helping me hold onto my sanity.

3 Knitting needle topper sets, one with Doc Martin type boots that say “Smash the Patriarchy”, another set that is the shape of butterflies but with a skull pattern on the butterfly wings, and a set that says “The horrors persist but so do I”

Knitting project in progress. Knitting is a burgundy and grey cowl, with a pattern of bird skulls. Yarn holder for burgundy yarn is a plastic human skull, knitting round marker is a wood circle with a bird skull engraved, stitch markers are white human skull beads, and needle holders are a white and black human skull. Rainbow bubble popper row counter visible in background. Ceramic yarn holder for grey yarn has part of space scene visible.

I love when a project‘s theme can be carried through the bits and bobs.

Thank you!! I’m so pleased with it, and so excited that color work is so much fun to knit. I held off trying for a bit because it looked so complicated, but once I got the hang of it was a ton of fun!

Yarn | Republic of Yarnia PoC owned yarn dyeing business inspired by Black and brown figures in premodern history. Each collection contains skeins based on images from historical manuscripts & paintings. Luxury skeins inspire...

The two color ways I used are “King Kaleb Burgendey” and “Smokey Grey Magus.” Both in the Merino/Silk base.

Knitted cowl, in burgundy and variegated greys, bird skull pattern. Laid out on a dark tile. Inside out before attaching two sides, so shows the floats of the color work. Also pre-blocked, so curling at the edges.

So appropriate that I finished this Oct 1st 🎃 This is my first colorwork and it is my new favorite (although I say that about every new thing I’ve tried with knitting😆) Shoutout to @isasaxonists.bsky.social for helping keep me sane with her special & meaningful yarn 💖

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say.

If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court.

I do not say this lightly.

I love how we're going to see 500 articles on this and the answers are just:

- More people are getting accurate diagnoses
- We finally have a significant number of women in medicine and they're diagnosing women and girls

If you’re too afraid to do your job, you should quit your job. If you’re too afraid to report on what’s going on because you’re afraid of MAGA death threats, you should stop being a reporter.

if you’re too afraid to vote against honoring a white nationalist due to death threats, you should resign.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t scale up, the pattern does have 3 sizes, I made the large which is the widest- which makes me think starting with the smaller width and then just going till you like the length it should work very well.
