#showmeyourknits what’s on your needles! Because I can never work on just one project at a time, I have five on the needles: a summer Tee (yeah, I know), a colorwork wooly hubby sweater, the start of a blanket and two pairs of socks. #knitsky #bskyknits #knitting
A collection of knitting projects on the needles. From top left clockwise a coral summer tee with eyelets, a blue and gray colorwork yoke, blue and red start to a multi-colored blanket, a pale green sock cuff and an olive green sock leg with heel flap and gusset

Who else is knitting Nancy Wheeler’s Lake Ontario Socks pattern? This American wants to honor the legitimate name of the beautiful great lake we share with Canada so I cast them on yesterday to join the KAL. Lake Ontario forever and love to Canada and all your amazing people!

Finally a finish! I’ve been struggling with back pain this summer so the knitting has slowed way down. But a new pair of socks for the gift box is a win I say! #knitting #knitsky #bskyknits #handknits
Pair of hand knit socks displayed on a bed of colored tissue paper. The cuffs, heels and toes of the socks are a solid coral color. The main body of the socks is a self-striping yarn in primarily yellow but with coral peach and cream stripes as well as accents of blue.

Outrageous. Rand Paul should be removed as head of that committee. He has abused his position for a personal grievance.

The number one rule for No Kings 3 tomorrow is DO NOT INTERACT WITH COUNTER PROTESTERS! Do not talk, do not argue, do not react to their words, their single-finger salute, or their rolling coal. DO NOT ENGAGE!!!! You safety team is ready to deal with any negative people.
