It’s like when people go to Portland and realize it’s not a post-apocalyptic hellscape.

Once I got done with the ribbing, the rest of the hat went really quickly. Those decreases work fast!

I did eight inches. Using fingering weight wool on size 4 needles, that part took *forever.* 😜 I like my ears to be covered.

A completed Melt the ICE knit hat, knit in cranberry colored wool and based on a classic Norwegian pattern. The money paid to buy the pattern is donated to immigrant support organizations in the Twin Cities.

And it’s finished! #Knitsky

Photo depicts the Melt the Ice hat still in the process of being knit. The yarn is a red fingering weight wool.

Already well on my way! Cast on last weekend, then participated in a knit-along at my local yarn store last night.

It’s a tragedy this building is home to a Target.

I *hate* both teams, but I guess I’d rather see Ohio State lose.

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

Yes, yes, yes. I know that Jimmy Stewart is in one of the most beloved - rightfully so - Christmas movies of all time, but don’t sleep on Ernst Lubitsch’s glittery holiday rom-com “The Shop Around the Corner.”

I’m convinced that scene is why he won the Oscar! (That and making up for the previous year’s “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” mistake.)

This movie is the best! His improvised hiccup that nearly broke Cary Grant is perfection!

And it’s still the only Bond theme to ever reach No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100!

Giancarlo Esposito appears on an episode of Sesame Street alongside big Bird.

Even Sesame Street.

Timothy Egan’s “A Fever in the Heartland” reads like a crime
novel. That it’s about a racist, right-wing ideologue who climbs to the height of power feels eerily relevant.

YouTube video by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - Topic Let's Do It (O.S.T.)

Joan Jett and Paul Westerberg of the Replacements teamed up for a cover of “Let’s Do It” for “Tank Girl” in 1995. I always thought it spiritually belonged on Red, Hot + Blue. youtu.be/xi8i08ve4hE?...

It’s the only correct answer.

This is artful.

Bravo, Mariners! Have fun tonight, Seattle!

Ooh. Or Neil Finn? youtu.be/Y4rbl3pVs_c?...

King of Birds.

🤣

At least I can’t complain about a well-used Jean Arthur gif.

Absolutely!

I’ve not visited Knitted Wit’s shop in Gresham, but I love knitting with her yarn. Sad news.

I quite like it here. I loved the old Twitter, and was happy find someplace that was like old Twitter, but with fewer Nazis.
