I block MAGAts for the same reason I scrape a turd off my shoe. JFC no porn. And don't bother with your "justification" blocks. You're just going to get blocked.
Binding off has commenced. No you aren't imagining it. The bind off runs in a different direction than the blanket. #ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky
I looked for the picture but all I could find was the waffle. Yes, I have a Marvel waffle iron.
This week in #ShowMeYourKnits is twice knit patterns. For me, I don't usually knit anything twice because "there's only one" HOWEVER (explained in alt):
It's #WIPWednesday and I found this swatch after more than a decade in hibernation. I believe I dyed the yarn which explains it's awful inconsistency but for this scarf it works. I'm knitting five repeats in between working on Alistair's Rose.
It's knitting-adjacent items this week for #ShowMeYourKnits. Having some paralysis in my hands I'm all about making my knitting easier. The 9" needles and specially caked/dyed yarns are for mittens (because I still hate knitting socks) and a cat shawl pin because if it sparkles I will wear it.
He was 71! If he fell down his steps it would deserve another look.
This week in #ShowMeYourKnits is texture. The palms of these cabled mittens are knit in a textured two stitch left and right cross stitch which also runs down the left and right side of the cable. Info in alt.
Texture. I've got texture for you. This week in #ShowMeYourKnits is texture. Info in alt.
My grandsons love summer vacation because Yaya makes ramen with eggs, chili crisp and bok choy.
Marty Feldman having a twenty minute conversation with Mitch McConnell:
This week in #ShowMeYourKnits it's what's on the needles. I've been knitting Alistair's Rose Pi Shawl for six weeks and I'm at the point where 576 stitches per round make the project much too large to spread out.
But how is that possible? I just got an email from Social Security saying he enacted an historic tax cut for working seniors? So did they lie to this working senior. Say it ain't so...
Even the employees didn't know. They advertised a 50% off sale and just closed their doors. There's no indication that they are selling/reorganizing/reopening. It's sad. They just showed some cute baby things and now there's no way to get them.
Thank you, the baby version looks like vultures but the adult version looks like birds on a wire. This is the designers photo:
This week in #ShowMeYourKnits is BLUES and now I am blue. I just found out that after 50 years in business La Droguerie in France has closed. I used their Douce Highland to knit this child's sweater. After I knit this I realized that the birds looked like vultures.
Did you know that you could put shredded fresh bok choy in a package of dollar store ramen? I do now.
This week in #ShowMeYourKnits is BLUES and I have a lot of them. The gem of my collection is this shawl. Info in alt.
This week in #ShowMeYourKnits is BLUES. It's a great color for me and I love knitting blue baby clothes. Info in alt.
And oops, there it is. A WIP no more. This is spread out over my queen sized bed. Info in alt. #KnitSky
This week's #ShowMeYourKnits theme is LIGHT and DARK. Although I wear a lot of black I don't like knitting with it. I've decided to show off and present two Jennifer Steingass sweaters for your viewing pleasure. Info in alt.
I was at a hilltop restaurant where we had fondue (out of season) and that dessert. We were there much of the evening and although the restaurant was closing they refused to rush us. They also had cats and dogs who had the run of the place (forbidden here) and gave the end of day food to a farmer.
I know this is right. I have daughters that live in France. They took me to McDonald's and I said "Hell no". When the food came it was fresh, tasted great and cost was comparable to us even though fast food workers are paid a decent wage. Street food is magnificent and a restaurant is an experience.
Almost there. One quarter of a circular baby blanket. The color has cycled into a medium pink. #WIPWednesday #KnitSky
Much too large to spread out but the color has cycled from a pale shell to a light pink and is moving to a medium rose. Info in alt. #KnitSky #ShowMeYourKnits
