All things knitting! 🧶 I create patterns, knit & dye yarn. My day job is scientist and professor - hence the DNA mittens I designed and knit. I advise my college knit/crochet club. Find my designs on Ravelry: https://ravel.me/escher-checker-blocks-scarf

Neck warmer knit in progress. And yes, knitting is absolutely political because you can’t knit if ICE murders you. Knit for democracy. A reminder that while I often post about knitting, knitting is absolutely political because you can’t knit if ICE murders you.

Less than 1% of Epstein files have been released. Where are the remaining 99%? The regime trying so hard to distract us while unlawfully withholding files that were ordered to be released weeks ago. Americans can focus on more than one issue at a time. Release #EpsteinFiles & here’s my latest knit 🧶

Knitting and holding signs Im knitting in front of a quote by Elie Wiesel, “Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must—at that moment—become the center of the universe”

Knit-in at the peaceful Portland protest. There’s mutual aid hotdog stand & lots of folks holding placards on each corner. As ICE vehicles enter & exit the crowd would holler “Quit your job!”.

To our neighbors who are being kidnapped and terrorized by ICE I say, No estás solo, you are not alone.💪🏽 🧶

Knitting t shirt in progress with crochet hook to restitch the neckline

#WIPWednesday Breaking out the crochet hook to fix my neckline. Only 20 more rows to redo! It probably would have been quicker to unravel from the top, but I didn’t want to risk messing up my short rows or lace 🧶 #knitsky #knit #crochet

Love your climate stripes scarf! I’ve been wanting to knit a garment in climate stripes and am intimidated by figuring out how much of each color yarn is required. Your work is inspiring!

Work in progress T shirt knit with local yarns also shown in the image

Woohoo for #WIPwednesday What’s your vote? I can’t decide between the plum vs sea foam for the i-cord neck, sleeves, and waist edging. This will eventually be a “Breezy Tee” using local hand dyed wool from the Acorn Street Shop in Seattle. 🧶
