My dog is my friend.

Green grass all around and the center is a medium short haired brown dog with a smile on his face. He is laying down with his face pointed at the camera and his ears perked up. There is dappled sun across the picture.

It is what keeps me going!!

This is a close up shot of some plain knitting in a ruby red. There is a green cord holding some of the stitches at the top of the screen. A peep of wooden floor in dark brown is showing behind.

Sock #2. Different from #1. 😁

They are so soothing and satisfying.

Okay FINE I will mow the lawn on a warm day. Don’t have to yell haaa

Green lawn freshly mowed. A fence with a green barrier along the back corner about 5 m back. A brown wooden deck fills the bottom right corner in diagonal stripes. Blue sky. A maple tree in the background.

My garden sparks joy. The back has a new row of sour cherry tree seedlings and now a black mulberry. The front has peas.

A white pea flower on a pea vine is center. Behind is the blurry beige siding of a house and a lawn.

Mine are almost as nice. I think yours are spectacular.

A yellow rose is in full blossom with the leaves of the bush out of focus in the background. A hand on the left is supporting the flower.

He looks innocent. He isn’t.

Brown short haired dog with a greying muzzle looks straight into the camera. His ears are folded back.

Rolo would say hi but he was tired from barking at some kids playing in the road.

Someone asked for tea towels. Who am I to deny them given I assume my inner circles will get tired of them soon?!? #weaving #fibrearts cotton 8/2 warp and cotolin weft. I think it is 16/2. Colour is Seaton blue on undyed and bleached white warp as I ran out all the undyed.

I made a thing! First experience weaving with mohair and I could have used an even wider sett. #weaving #handmade

This is a photo of a woven scarf or stole sitting on a drying rack. The colours are variegated blue/bleu green with a purple stripe. The background is a wooden deck.

Switching it up. #weaving #crafting

Light yellow wooden beams cross above and below. In the center medium blue and light grey yarns are laid through metal rods with holes in them called heddles. A lime green wall is behind. A brown wooden floor shows between the yarns.

I made a thing. #blueskyknits.

Knitted cardigan folded on a brown couch. The long sleeves have a lace panel from the elbows down, and a lace panel along the front is showing. The main colour is dark variegated blue and the lace is teal.

anontarioian@anontarioian· Apr 22

They’re baaaack.

anontarioian@anontarioian· Apr 13

This one must be close to done now. This weekend I got to sleeve #2 on a cardigan so maybe I will have it before the weather gets too hot.

anontarioian@anontarioian· Mar 29

Not done but oh so close. Take out basting. Understitch. Press. Hem. Buttons and button holes. Getting so much closer. Oh yeah and fix whatever went wrong with the collar facing. #sewsky

anontarioian@anontarioian· Mar 14

The sewing project that is cursed. After umpteen mistakes and fixes and recutting pattern pieces … the sewing machine plug broke and I need to learn how to fix it before I can carry on. Le grand SIGH!!!

Real and blue patterned fabric with a red stripe is draped in front of the camera. A pocket welt is in the forefront. A bit of white basting thread curls along the pocket welt.

anontarioian@anontarioian· Mar 8

Knitting but also working on sewing a spring jacket and procraftinating with the knitting because the next step is the pockets and they are scary.

Clue fabric is laid out on a table. A pair is snippets is lying across the top and some white thread marks a line across the front where the pocket will go.

A year ago I took my dogs to their annual vet appointments and a few weeks later confirmed the cancer in one and now I have one dog. 🐕 still hurts.

A green lawn and some trees. A black wire fence. Inside the fence a dog sits facing away from the camera watching the road just visible. Her face is looking to the right. She is light brown with thick fur and perky ears. Her face is white. She has a bushy curly tail.

Yarn chicken. I know I don’t have enough to finish the project so … contrast colour in the front or buy something close enough so that the panels in the front blend in?

Dark blue knitting on a brown couch. The knitting is fine and the colour is a mottled blue and dark blue/grey.

anontarioian@anontarioian· Feb 23

Mine used to live in a desert and now we live with hip deep snow so he is not grateful.

The short haired brown dog with a grey muzzle sits staring expectantly waiting for food to fall in his mouth. His ears are up at full alert. He sits in a cluttered living room with a dark brown floor and a beige marble table. The far wall is green.

anontarioian@anontarioian· Feb 18

The green is less yellow in person. The teal is more blue.

anontarioian@anontarioian· Feb 18

Knitters of Bluesky I require advice! I have four 100g skeins of this merino-alpaca lend that is hand dyed and no longer in production with no search results on Ravelry. I can use a teal for the lace panels in the front and sleeves OR the dark green OR spin something new and learn to dye. Thoughts?

Does this mean the blue sweater is done? I am on the collar of a colour blocked sweater in fingering weight that has taken FOREVER.

Rest up bubba.

A brown dog with short fur and a white face stands in a doorway. His face is very concerned. It is dinner time.

anontarioian@anontarioian· Jan 11

Anyone recognize this yarn? I bought it at a destash years ago and decided to make socks out of it but it appears there was only enough to make sock. If I can find another skein somewhere I can order it. #knitting #socks

There is a ball of yarn sitting on a partially knitted sock with double pointed knitting needles jutting out. The yarn is mostly pink but also grey in muted colours. The project is on the arm of a brown leather sofa. The background shows the floor and the edge of a wooden table.

I had food. He was supervising.
