I hate that Lumos is so sneaky about it too. Too many people aren't aware until the product arrives :(

I did! It was a light fingering weight yarn I remember. And that is great to hear! I have not yet come back to her other patterns but maybe I should go back and browse 👀👀

I did! It is called the Ladie's Autumn Whirlpool Sweater by Natalie Pelykh. Just note that it only goes up to 50" - I knit this before I committed to only using size inclusive patterns for my knitting.

This week on #showmeyourknits: The knit I am most proud of is my first sweater quantity purchase of handdyed yarn, my first cabled sweater, and the first time I riffed a pattern and did cabling in the ribbing as well. Still one of my favorite sweaters.

Plz read: on how monied interests have installed academics to defend profit over public health: “Climate and energy research are primary targets because evidence-based climate policy threatens the fossil-fuel interests historically at the center of this capture. Faculty are a critical counterforce.”

What. A. Day. NIH grant-making was paused for several hours today. Not sure who gave the order. But in light of the Friday night Bhattacharya-Vought feud & threatened EO to implement #ScienceDeathPanels, my money is on Russell Vought. I learned of the pause from a colleague around 11:30. 🧵

Speaking of travel knits, would love to hear experiences about traveling with knitting needles through Germany, Greece and Crete :)

Finished my second travel Musselburgh this year, this time I used a skein of @roadtripsockyarn.bsky.social I picked up at Fancy Tiger (rip) 7.5 sts/in on US2 needles, knit the adult medium and used 95 g of yarn :) 🧶

Had to stop being on the computer around 5:30 PM due to a horrible headache, thankfully I had gotten most everything done by then! It is getting better with two ibuprofens but I'm still gonna take it easy and maybe finish my latest Musselburgh using Road Trip Sock Yarn :) 🧶

I had so much fun spinning this Falkland fiber. 2 oz of fiber became a lustrous 2-ply worsted/aran weight. Will definitely look for more Falkland fiber to spin in the future! #handspun 🧶

In retropect I wish I had split it up four ways so I could also compare splitting up and spinning the different fiber types into their own plies, as well as woolen spun. But maybe next time!

The conclusion of a fun #handspun experiment I started during #tourdefleece! Same fiber - half spun from the fold (left), the other half spun with short forward draw (right). Both were chain plied. It is so cool to me how different a fiber can look when spun a different way! 🧶

Felt like - no, I HAVE been running at breakneck speed from one obligation to the next deadline in the last couple of weeks. So it was really good to take an hour today to just spin, and not think or worry about anything. I did forget about and miss a haircut appointment though 😭 🧶 #handspun
