My family had a relaxing and rejuvenating time on our trip with @sailbeyondcancervt This summer was full of hospital visits and trips untaken. We're so fortunate to get this time to enjoy each other's company. Our crew (and our weather) were the absolute best! #sailBeyondCancer #cancerSucks

Working on a new top for myself combining crochet and hand sewing. It's creativity and function and a little something different.

A wrinkly pile of fabric that's almost the shape of a garment. The yoke is crochet, the body is colorful swirls on black jersey and there is a fabric trim pinned to the neck edge of the crochet.

My favorite local cider place has two non-alcoholic options and they're both SO good. This new one is balanced, peppery without being hot, and just a hint of smokey. #shacksburyCider #cider #vermontByVermonters

We spent 40min on the level 2 charger, that's how long it took to get a burger at Al's Pizza Place. Then we drove 15min to a different fast charger. This isn't perfect if you've got to keep a schedule. But it's getting less frequent with more charging locations. #EVcar #driveElectric #electricCar

First charging stop is 2hrs and 94miles in to our trip. There are a lot of mountains between home and this rest stop so my battery was down to 7% but I've done this route many times. One car plugged in but the other charger open. #electricCar #EVcar #driveElectric

When it's springtime, but the entire valley was covered in snow three days ago - I pick the most obnoxiously bright sock yarn in my stash! (yarn from knit.spin.farm of course) 🧶 #knitsky #sockKnitting

A twisted rib sock cuff on DPNs and its ball of yarn sit in the foreground. Yarn is flamingo pink, daffodil yellow, rosey orange, sky blue, an even brighter pink, and kelly green. The background is out of focus in the tan, browns, and olive greens of an overwintered field.

First socks of the year! The wedges in the cuffs are all worked with short rows. Then I left the self stripping yarn alone for the feet. It's a twist on a very old pattern.

We have a "no tech in the bedrooms" rule. I've wanted a cool wood bread box, jewelry box, cigar box, something to hide them in. But today I decided a cheap cardboard box is better than looking at that mess any longer. #thisIsKindaLikeCrafting

A lidded white box with gold speckles rests on a wood table. There's a hole cut in the lid for two watch chargers and two more holes cut in the side with 2 USB chargers sticking out of each.

A white box with the lid lifted so you can see inside containers a plug bar, 4 USB converter plugs and a whole bunch of charging cords. The last several inches of each cord pokes through a hole to make it accessible from the outside.

Windsor's shirt got ripped while playing. She attempted to stitch it up herself first, then asked for help. I'd like to note that I have no idea where she got the needle or thread. My children are becoming people who just know how to fix things! #embroidery #visibleMending

Embroidered orange, yellow, and pink flowers connected by vines and decorated with leaves on a pink fabric. The lower part of the embroidery is still on the hoop. The embroidery is just lazy daisies, french knots, and fishbone leaves.

I put a scrap of red jersey fabric behind the shirt to give me something to embroider on and you can still see the red peaking through in places.

"In progress" photo shows the big hole Windsor stitched up herself. I left her work in place and just ran a vine stem along it.

I've added a new flag to my collection. The resistance hermit thrush is by @twinkletaters.bsky.social #resist #vermontByVermonters

Five yard flags hang in the eves of a purple porch. The two in the back read Black Lives Matter and Peace. Two in the front read End Gun Violence and Protect Trans Kids. The newest one has no text but depicts a hermit thrush in the shape of the resistance symbol from Star Wars.

If you knit a red hat and wear it to a protest, a food distribution event, or while being a public observer then great! If you knit red hats and think that's all you need to do then it's performative. Actions matter. #resist #fuckIce #fightFascism #knitsky 🧶

WWII nurses wore red lipstick on the battlefield. In 2021 citizens protested in the streets wearing pink hats. It's not lipstick or the hat that makes a protest. It's the ACTION. Wearing a pink suit does nothing unless you're physically between Al Green and security. #resist #resistFascism #protest

There'll be blue lights

One gnome finished and the second is already underway! This pattern is Oh Gnome, You Didn't from Imagined Landscapes on ravelry. I put bits of pipe cleaner in their hat so the points can go in any direction! #gnomeAlong #imaginedLandscapes #knitsky 🧶

A knitted gnome on a background of sticks. They have an ocean blue hat with three curly points (a bit like a jester's hat) a white scarf with red tips, and a green sweater with red pockets.

It's that time of year when I knit lots of things and take zero photos. Not because they're gifts and I'm trying to keep things a surprise. Just because we only have 8hrs 54min of daylight and I spend all of them at work and in the car. Here's a cute gnome hat in the waning blue light. #knitting 🧶

I needed to charge on my way to work. It took me 6min to work the high tech coffee maker while my car charged 8-21% I can finish at work. It's key to have fast chargers everywhere. Drivers don't need to charge to full if we know it's not the only option in the county. #nissanLEAF #evCharging
