A lacy blue shawl, with a yellow knit cap, piled onto a chair.

I learned basic triangle shawl construction from Cheryl Oberle's "Folk Shawls" & Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's "Knitting Rules." This rumpled old shawl was me seeing what I could do w/ that knowledge & a stitch dictionary.

A 1,500-bed detention facility is coming to rural Maryland. We’re calling on ICE to account for what that means — and asking you to do the same. An Open Letter to DHS's Sustainability Team from Project Salt Box

Tell ICE what you think — we've made it easy.

You're very kind. It's just that I've made a lot of hats. I'm a piker compared to so many truly clever knitters.
