Much needed art therapy these days. My Anemone Cardigan by le knit, the most challenging pattern to date, is now looking like a sweater. Rowan Felted Tweed and Tynn Silk Mohair. #knitting

The Anemone Cardigan by Le Knit is my first sweater bottom up, sleeves cuff up, then added to body to begin yoke, short rows, raglan. This pattern has been a challenge for me, has anyone knitted this kind of construction? Any tips? #knitting #leknit #anemonecardigan

I gravitate to books in translation. Anyone have recommendations? This is my current stack, and I just read and loved Floodlines by Saleem Haddad. Now reading Women Without Men, which is especially appealing!

A young man is living in his van in front of my home. I know van life is an option when cost of living is high. I introduced myself, gave him my name, he responded in kind. He knows my neighbor in the rental duplex next door, uses their facilities. I’m not sure how I feel about this situation.

Knitting Anemone Cardigan by Lene Holme Samsoe for le knit, the most challenging project for me not because of the stitches, but there are 17 sections & understanding pattern required printing each section, being extremely patient, & focusing intently. Not a knit and Netflix sweater. #knitting

Excited to share my first acquisition for Hawthorne as an imprint of The Catapult Group. Working with this team has been a delight! I’m back in the saddle and looking forward to upcoming books.

I need assembly advice: the shoulder caps are two inches taller than top seam. All pieces are to gauge &match pattern. Not a mistake. I know I could ease them in, but afraid of puckering. Would you frog rows to have less to ease in? Any ideas? Once done w/sleeves will sew front zipper. #knitting@

I love seeing people look through the books in my Little Free Library. She spent some time with one, but ultimately put it back. Wonder which book it was? #littlefreelibrary

Having Hawthorne become an imprint alongside esteemed pubs as Catapult, Counterpoint, &Soft Skull & having the opportunity to work w/the remarkable Catapult team—is both a joy & honor for me and for our authors. This new chapter has reaffirmed my deep appreciation for the art & spirit of publishing.

Work in process. Adapting pattern by Nadia Cretin-Lechenne by repeating circle rows down body (instead of just yoke and solid body color) and then picking up end of pattern rows at before ribbed hem. Yarn is Fjallalopi. #knitting

Finished the Visnes Sweater by Siv Kristin Olsen and could not be happier. Perfect fit and drape before blocking, will only steam. I cut 3" from sleeves and glad I did because sleeves come to just below wrist and will stretch some with wear. #knitting

Knitting a simple raglan sweater (no pattern/complete freedom!), and this one is a sensory pleasure because combining Rowan Yarns Moordale (wool) with Kidsilk Haze Trio (mohair/silk) gives the fabric a slight weight, softness, and drape. I hope it stays cool enough for me to wear it.

Finished the back Balfour Jacket by Rowan Yarns & satisfied with challenge met of my first flat color sweater, but disappointed with yarn colors that are not as bright, light, and contrasting as the pattern photos. Now wondering whether to use remaining yarn for a different project? #knitting

Advice? Love this sweater hot off my needles, except neck. Too wide. I’ve never reknitted a neck, and would have to make collar longer in order to decrease without affecting the yoke. How would you do it? # knitting

Happy to have left the land of tweets for Blue Sky. Currently working on Frederick Douglass: A Novel, by Sidney Morrison, which, I know I’m biased, but seems apropos given our current state of affairs. How you all doing?
