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

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 β€œQuit your job!”.

To our neighbors who are being kidnapped and terrorized by ICE I say, No estΓ‘s solo, you are not alone.πŸ’ͺ🏽 🧢

Such a fun weekend at Seattle’s Flock Fiber Festival. The botanical dyed bandana and double knitting classes were super informative and fun. Double knitting was/is a challenge but excited to have a new knit skill. 🧢

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!

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 β€œBreezy Tee” using local hand dyed wool from the Acorn Street Shop in Seattle. 🧢
