Knit-stuff-making side-quest-taking rule-breaking power house. With extra cheese. I’m probably in a cemetery right now.

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits prompt is lace. I haven’t done a ton of lace; feel like I’m just starting to get the hang of it. Last year I made the Travelling Woman Shawl in @exlibrisfibers.com Anais. The shawl has already become a cherished travel companion. #knitsky

A crescent shawl with a lacy border, knit in deep blue and purple yarn, draped over the back of a chair.

For this week’s #showmeyourknits I’ll give my current smaller WIP some love… a sample of a cowl pattern I’m designing. Yarn is Dirty Water DyeWorks Lucia DK in Sea Glass. I’m also still cranking on the Calamity Shawl and some Vireo Mitts are in a pile of neglect in my office. 🧶

A few inches of a green knit cowl on circular needles sitting on a bright blue sketchbook, next to a cake of yarn on a mini-minder.

It’s #wipwednesday and I’ve been making steady progress on the Calamity Shawl. Hoping to finish this weekend so I can wrap up in it. #knitting Pattern by @iknituknot.bsky.social

I'm convinced there are a bunch of MIT students who could shut down Musk and his minions right now with my iPhone 5c, a potato clock, and some duct tape. If you're one of them and you're reading this, please get after it. Your beverage of choice is on me for life.

So much squish! Looking forward to finding the perfect projects for these beauties. #knitting

Dear @nefarmandfiber.bsky.social — thanks for an absolutely lovely event. I’m nerding out over the awesomeness I got from @wingandaprayerfarm.bsky.social, @katrinkles.bsky.social, @brooklyngeneral.bsky.social and Dirty Water Dyeworks. The Cyclorama is gorgeous. Knitters are the best. 😘 🧶

This week's #showmeyourknits is all about stripes. I love stripes, yet somehow this Fleur Shawl is the only striped thing I've ever knit. I do have plans for a black and white striped sweater with a funky neckline eventually.

My publisher's lawyer has asked me to remind everyone that buying my postcard book and mailing those postcards to elected officials could be considered harassment. (Check eatf.art for some places that sell my postcard book)

Ooohhhh, cables! I love cables. This is the Willow Path Shawl and it’s one of my favorite knits. Pattern by Valerie Hobbs. #showmeyourknits #cableknitting

I’ve been swatching away, working on my first knitting pattern design. It’s fun to sketch things out, grab some yarn, needles and books and see where the process takes me. Eventually this will be a cowl with cables, bobbles and all kinds of crossed stitches. #knitting 🧶

Just started the Calamity Shawl using some gorgeous hand dyed yarn from Toil & Trouble and I'm in love. #handknit #calamityshawl 🧶

My stepmom took this photo of me with my dad last night… apparently, as she put it, the cat is fully charged 😝

It's a good day to wear the sweater I finished over the holidays... the cozy cowl neck is perfect for today's windy weather.
