I test knit the #RibbonCandyHat for @hookmountainknits.bsky.social What a nice little scrappy project! The stripes only took a gram of yarn each. I added an 11th stripe to get the whole #ProgressPride flag in. Pattern releases on Sept 17. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

For some reason "AI is just like watching Netflix" is back in my feeds so I took that as a sign to update my data tracking for Netflix. The company's energy use rose 1% from 2021 to 2024. Compare that to: Google: 71% Nvidia: 88% Meta: 96% Microsoft: 119%

My #berlinhoodedshawl by #mabulidesigns is HOTN. Design release Jan 31. #WIPWednesday as it needs to be blocked a tad larger. For my personal style, the original Berlin Hood (rainbow) wins, but this new open front version (red/grey) is great for neater hair or a more feminine style. #knitsky 🧶

My Berlin Hooded Shawl test hot off the needles. A red and grey striped hand knit hood with attached scarf is displayed on a denim mannequin. The hood and scarf are edged in squishy i-cord. The generous scarf wraps multiple times around the neck.

My Berlin Hood is hand knit in a rainbow striped yarn held with a thinner black yarn for a toned down marled look. The generous hood continues down into shoulders with front and back flaps, like a hooded dickie, all edged in squishy i-cord. It's displayed on a denim mannequin.

Ms Rachel just called Andrew Cuomo a raggedy old racist bitch

Ms Rachel via Instagram:

I've eaten rice the way Zohran Mamdani does. A friend made me a meal years ago & showed me that way of eating rice. I thought it was cool.
Teachers in NYC teach students to be kind & respectful toward other students' cultures. It's one of our learning standards to help children feel proud of who they are.
It's disappointing that some adults can't model the same decency & kindness that students in NYC show every day.
They would rather model something none of our religions teach us - racism and attacking our neighbors instead of loving them.

A handknit sweater with just the yoke and body knit, ribbing and sleeves still to go. It's got an orange neck followed by stranded sections of a celestial scene in black and cream, flaming cauldrons in black and orange on cream, poison bottles in white on purple, cats and bats in black on cream, crystal balls in white on purple, and witch hats in back on cream, with green vertical stripes between each section.

A collage of 9 images of the same bulky greige sweater cropped close to just the body, each with a different set of 5 buttons laid out on the button band.

Alabama wants to suffocate a man to death. So far, no court is stopping them from trying.

An appeals court rejected Kennth Smith's challenge to the nitrogen gas execution plans on Wednesday night. SCOTUS has already rejected a different challenge he brought.
