Your hat is lovely! I ordered yarn for this right after the pattern was published and still haven't gotten to it.

It’s astounding that Zelensky survived a full-scale war without ever having a ballroom.

I read this as adopting most of the features of #Ravelry, broadened to encompass some additional crafts and further dilute the fiber arts community - am I missing something? How are you planning to monetize with no ads or fees? Will your code be GPL? #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

1/ I don't knit much for babies. So when called upon to do so, I had to make it harder than it should have been and the yarn had to be purple. These were based on an 1880 pattern published in The Girls' Own Paper (G.O.P.), a British weekly story paper. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

It was certainly that! After the first couple of feet, I had to start carrying it around in a pillowcase to make sure it stayed clean and didn't felt.

How do you like that Yamaha amp? I dithered and ended up with a Fender (which is fine as I am far more acoustic than electric), but I still have my eye on one of the THR models.

Cowl week! This cowl was a pandemic project. I decided to take on something stranded that would force me to master 2-handed colorwork. It took the better part of a a year and the difference in gauge between the beginning and ending inches is laughable. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

This GOP war with the Pope might be the new dumbest thing they’ve done, and as usual, it’s completely self-inflicted.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

#showmeyourknits this week is cables: So here is a ridiculous top-down patternless cabled poncho. By the time I got to a point that resembled an end, I had strung together at least 4 of the longest circular needles that I owned at the time. It took me days to bind off. #knitsky #knittersofbluesky
