How I am surviving the fall of democracy. #knitsky #knittersoftheworld

I can’t believe how fast this country is coming undone. Why is vaccinating children and protecting the public a political issue? Why is protecting the environment controversial? Why are we letting children be shot and killed in school? I don’t see a way back from this. #makeitmakesense #bluesky

Absolutely!

Absolutely not. It’s fine. I’ll just have to wear a tank top underneath since I’m not that adventurous.

I am really questioning my ability to read. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

It might help if your cat did some of the work for you since they are sitting on your computer. 😉 I feel the same way. My kids are grown and still can’t keep up.

Somehow, I actually did this correctly. One day it will turn into a cardigan. #knitsky #knitting

That’s a good reset. We just need to feel the feelings. Then release them. Easier said than done when the world we know is changing.

Yay! Welcome to the Knitting Tribe.

Yes, anxiety can make you puke. Your stress hormones increase nausea. What do you do when it happens?

The v is lovely. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

Did you purl rows that were supposed to be knit? My first sweater pattern was a lesson in mistakes. The sweater I’m knitting at the moment has mistakes. It’s part of the process. Great job! The white is beautiful.

There’s lots of crying in knitting. 😆

This almost broke me last night. I spent hours trying to figure out why the pattern wasn’t working. I attached the ends together the wrong way. It was 1 am when I figured it out. I just went to bed. I think I’m on the right track now. Hopefully , i can attach the body tomorrow. #wip #showmeyourknits

Today, my husband put this cabinet together. There’s a bin for the mail and a place to throw the keys. I also organized the entry way and our coat closet. My goal is to purge the things we don’t use. These are the next 3 spots I need to purge and organize. #adhd #adhdorganization

My idea of a fun Saturday night. #vegetarian #homecook

Maybe it’s undyed wool.

Dinner. #homecook #vegan (I’m not vegan.)

Switched projects. This is the Frame Your Face Cowl by Andrea Mowry. It’s going pretty quickly. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

*Steak* dinner. Lion’s mane mushroom steaks. It was good, but I think I could do better. #homecook

I failed accounting. The only reason my professor passed me is because he got sick of me retaking the class. 😂 Thank you.

I have to be able to correctly identify cardiac arrhythmias in patients. This is a normal rhythm.

I finished one section. I started the second. It was my success for the day. I failed the dysrhythmia test I need to pass for the job I want. I can’t seem to get it. 😔 I feel defeated. #knitting #nurselife

Making progress. 🧶 #knitting #knitter #knitsky

I switched projects. This Urchin by Truly Myrtle. It’s not making me want to return my college degree. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

Agreed. It’s in my bag.

I’ve knit with black yarn before. This is more likely the ADD tax. It’s more frustrating that I have to work so hard to focus and still mess things up.

Ripped back to the beginning of the raglan increases. This is going into my knitting bag for a while. I’m going to work on something else. We are not friends right now. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

What hobby can I do that doesn’t involve counting? #knitsky #knitting #rippit

I counted the stitches. I had 61 stitches on one side of the body. 58 on the other side. I had 60 stitches for the sleeves. I was supposed to have 74 stitches on both sides of the body and 64 for the sleeves. I ripped back to the last increase row. I’m trying to put the stitches back on the needles.
