I love starting a new project! 💙💚 This will be an Anisah shawl (by Dee O’Keefe) when it grows up! #showmeyourknits

Annie, a white person, holds the start of a white, blue, green knitting project on size eight needles. The skein of Juniper Moon Cumulus Matisse in the Frosted Bloom colorway sits on a red blankets behind Annie’s hand. A sheet of knitting instructions sits next to the skein. Part of a holiday dinosaurs print project bag is under Annie’s hand.

Happy #caturday from the best kind of orange floof! 🧡

Bowie, an orange tabby, lies with his front legs stretched in front of him. His nose and mouth are tucked adorably between his outstretched front legs. The rest of his body is curled around and up toward his head. He’s sleeping on a yellow and green chair with a brown pillow behind him.

Happy #caturday to this black fluffy void. He may swallow us all with his cuteness! 🖤

My Pressed Flowers shawl is done! Here it is in all its unblocked glory! #showmeyourknits

An up close picture of a finished, green to blue variegated and navy blue yarn shawl. The stitch repeat is mosaic knitting made up of dots and crosses that look like flowers. The dots and crosses are in the variegated green to blue yarn and the in between color is navy blue.

Happy #caturday! (He’s asleep and I’m never getting my hand back… 😑)

An orange tabby named Bowie is curled up on a pink blanket. He’s asleep and snuggling with Annie’s hand.

My Travelers Shawl (by Andrea Mowry/Drea Renee Knits) in the Storyteller Stitchery Narnia advent calendar yarn is almost done! Right now it looks like a pile of color in my lap. Very soon it’ll be a complete shawl! ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜

A colorful pile of knitted and purled yarn sits on top of a burgundy blanket. Yarn end pop out from what will very soon be a complete Travelers Shawl.

And at the end this most auspicious #caterday Ryker wishes you dreams of large tabbies… er… women.

Ryker, a black kitten, is stretched out on his back on a gray heating and burgundy blanket. He sleeps the sleep of a rescued kitten that doesn’t have to worry about his next meal, a warm place to sleep, or love from his humans and furry siblings.

That’s cool Copenhagen will make spaces available! How do they know when a disabled person is coming to the city? Is there a number to call? A person or group to organize moving spots around? I’m genuinely curious how this will work in the plan. I’ve already read this book. This book’s pretty rad:

The yellow cover of a book titled What Can a Body Do? How We Meet the Built World by Sara Hendren.

This year I read 53 books, completed 51 knitting and crochet projects, and took an incredibly silly amount of cat photos. Here’s my final book, project, and ridiculous Bowie sleeping pose of 2025. May 2026 bring more books, yarn, and cats. #dungeoncrawlercarl #closetoyoushawl #bowiecat

A hardcover copy of Dungeon Crawler Carl sits on a burgundy blanket. The cover is black with large yellow letter and a small pink cutout with a man and cat running.

The cover of the album Becoming X by Sneaker Pimps. A white background with green electronic-esc lines and shapes serves as the album’s cover art.

The cover of War for the Oaks by Emma Bull features a dark alley way and a snarling dog. It has a stylized design of leaves along the spine’s edge. The colors are dark, almost sepia tones.

Happy #caturday from the super snuggly Bowie!

An orange tabby cat is curled up on his side on a white blanket with black skeletons. My hand, pale skin in a white sweater shirt sleeve, rests at the base of Bowie’s tail.

I’ve got bingo for the @positivelyyarnie.bsky.social WIP Bingo card! I finished the Stephen West musiKAL shawl last night and I’m so pleased with how weirdly wonderful it turned out!

Annie’s finished MusiKAL shawl! It’s a strange mix of neon green, neon pink, white speckled, and navy blue yarns. Waves, harlequin squares, scallops, stripes, and basket weave complete this lovely and strange shawl.

It’s week two for the @positivelyyarnie.bsky.social WIP Bingo Card and I’ve almost got a bingo! I may try for a black out. 🤨🧐 #wipbingocard #positivelyyarnie

Happy #caturday to all the cats who like to vex their owners by sitting on currently-being-read books.

Bowie, an orange tabby cat, lays on a book with sprayed yellow edges. His backside is to the camera. Cat and book are on top of a dark blue blanket. Books are on shelves in the background.

This wild looking yarn will soon be the Tulips pattern from Dan Doh Designs! I can’t wait to wear it!! 🤩🤩🤩

A pile of lavender knitting sits on a lap with brown needles and a green cable connecting the needle heads. The knitting itself is partially lace partially stockinette stitch.

Quite soon this will be Tulips by DanDoh. 🌷 I’m pretty excited to wear it!

#caturday is also #laundryday in this house. 😂

Bowie, an orange tabby cat, is playing with a pair of white and black plaid boxer shorts on a partially made bed. Other folded laundry is in the forescreen. His ears are to the side and his eyes are huge and freaked out looking at the camera.

New sweater project sprouting from my needles! I can’t wait to see how it turns out! 🖤 #newsweaterproject #pressedflowerspullover #funcolors

The start of a new sweater is held by Annie’s fingers. It is a black mosaic knitted yoke with a yellow, purple, red, green, and white yarn forming the dots and flowers portion of the pattern.

I’ll be on Anne Gudger’s Coffee Talk on Thursday at 7 PST! 🥰 I’m very excited to share two essays about grief, one I wrote recently and one from 11 years ago. DM me for the zoom link!

This is Bowie. His favorite hobby is napping on my book to ensure I’m giving him optimal skritches.

Happy crafty #caturday!

Bowie, an orange tabby cat, is snuggled up on a soft red blanket with mini hanks of yarn in variety of colors. A bright blue fabric craft bag with dinosaurs lays next to the pile of yarn.

Currently reading The Shadow Glass by @joshwinning.bsky.social and now I need a deep rewatch of all things Jim Henson.
