Half completed split hem ribbing on a heavy grey sweater.

Not a lot of knitting being done lately, but I’m *this* close to having my Turtle Dove 2 done. Why is it the closer I am to done the longer it takes? #showmeyourknits #knitsky

ALL OF THIS!!! ✊️

It’s been a minute, but I’m back to show some hats for #showmeyourknits #knitsky

#showmeyourknits

Start of some “Watermelon socks” in a pink and green variegated yarn.

Picture of a person looking out of a hand-knitted balaclava in various shades of brown.

One of a pair of green mittens that have separate index and thumbs.

A pair of neatly folded bright neon green socks that have speckles of deeper greens and purples on them.

Gift knits! I don’t gift a lot of my knits, but when I do, they are small things like socks. Here are a few of mine.

I’ve knitted two and I love it. Great sweater that knits up quickly and is so easily modified.

Oh the Naughty Basket…

I always have at least one sock on the needles and one long term project. My long term project is in time out because it keeps frustrating me, so this WIP will shortly be an FO. #knitsky #showmeyourknits

A brightly striped sock knitted in a zigzag pattern.

Just finished my first sock in Woolens and Nosh’s I Read Banned books using the Persevere pattern while reading Suzanne Collins’ Sunrise on the Reaping. #ilovebooksandsockknittingkal25 🧶

Multicolored knit beanie style hat looking like a fall forest near a river.

I have only done 1 colorwork project, but it is a pattern inspired by my local National Park, CVNP. I think I needed to try a less complicated, less “artistic”project, but only being a hat, I’m cool with it. 🧶 #knitsky #showmeyourknits

We all contribute nice smelling soaps to our staff bathrooms. Makes sure we always have nice soap and plenty of it.

The theme for this week’s #showmeyourknits is green. I like the color in general, but haven’t knitted a lot in that color. Here are the trigger mitts I made for my son who does WW2 reenacting. I also made some neon green (glows under blacklight!) socks I made for a coworker. 🧶

“Productive fidgeter”—stealing this!!!

So pretty with the stripes! I have a self striping yarn with this pattern’s name on it!

Look up Earthtones Girl Socksploration on YouTube. She walks you right through the whole process.

They are quick to make and you can never have enough of them. If you do happen to have more than you need, you can make them for others. My family won’t wear sweaters for the most part, but they love the wool socks I make them. They are also an extremely portable knit, unlike a sweater.

Is it any wonder that two of my three most soothing shows currently are Daredevil: Born Again and Invincible?

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Try Tunisian crochet. It is the gateway drug to knitting.

I’m a magic looper. I use flexiflips for thumbs on mittens, but I use magic loop for everything else. Thanks!

I used to be an avid crocheter—knitting scared me—but once I got the hang of knitting, I was determined to learn to knit socks. They are my favorite thing to knit and my whole family wears them. Here is a sampling of the socks I’ve made in the past 4 years. #showmeyourknits

Pass it on.
#StandWithUkraine

What’s worse is that Vance’s home state of Ohio is home to America’s largest population of Ukrainians. This attitude towards their leader makes me sick every time I see my students’ faces. Disrespectful.

Good morning ppl! I’m not saying there is some Nazi signalling here but. Also, has everyone noticed that felon fuck trump admin is making all its announcement post prime time. This is to keep you off balance to dread what happened the night before when you wake. To shorten your organizing time.

This was at a local STEM fair in my area. We should want to encourage ALL of our students to go into STEM. #MAGAmyass
