The socks are a delight! I love this color distribution and mirror. Sock 1 sock 2 = the best resource distribution 🧶😉

While listening to council meetings in Montreal, local mayor Sue Montgomery decided to knit in red when men spoke and in green when women spoke, when similar numbers of both attended. Day 1 results.... #WomensArt

Sleeping Buddha, Nanzoin Temple, Fukuoka, Japan.

Gently resting its head upon its hand in peaceful meditation, the colossal bronze Reclining Buddha (Nehanzō) reclines against a backdrop of dense mountain foliage. The statue’s soft verdigris patina glows beneath a diffuse sky, highlighting the calm, serene contours of its closed eyes, sculpted hair curls (nikkei), and golden byakugō mark on its forehead. In the foreground, neat rows of dark stone memorial steles, meticulously engraved with gilded Japanese characters, stand like quiet guardians at the foot of the monumental figure. The scene invokes an ethereal sensory atmosphere: the crisp mountain air of Sasaguri, the fragrant drift of burning incense from nearby altars, the rustle of cedar leaves in the valley breeze, and a profound, enveloping silence that settles over the sacred sanctuary
Located at Nanzo-in Temple in Sasaguri, Fukuoka Prefecture, this grand bronze monument—stretching 41 meters in length, 11 meters in height, and weighing approximately 300 tons—is celebrated as one of the largest bronze statues in the world. Erected in 1995, the Nehanzō was constructed to house sacred Buddhist relics gifted from Myanmar as an expression of gratitude for decades of medical supplies and humanitarian aid provided by the temple. Nanzo-in also serves as the chief location on the historic Sasaguri 88 Temple Pilgrimage route, welcoming pilgrims into the forested hills of Kyushu. The extraordinary bronze casting and structural engineering required to realize the massive monument embody the zenith of Japanese monozukuri (artisanal mastery and technological precision), integrating monumental art harmoniously within the surrounding topography.

Thank you so much! The dragon scales are a favorite, slow to knit but very cool effect. Humble Dragon is good to use as a learning tool. Just a simple tube in the round. No WS inc dec and special stitches to contend with on a first go www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Very cool, a versatile new trick. I love these kind of adaptations on traditional. Will look at this sewingless steek!

Milquetoast Wallflower @liquidknit.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

That will be perfect then! Toe up because otherwise your scales will be upside down 🙃 They only align one way and aren't workable with the same effect top down. Believe me i've tried, it would be much more convenient

Milquetoast Wallflower @liquidknit.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I think the scales would be really nice as a sock texture. But it may have too much depth of texture for sensitive feet, think you would need to find a transitional solution for a smoother foot into the scales. Also keep in mind bottom/toe upward. I would love to see it in a sock though

#ShowMeYourKnits that I'm most proud of? Probably this - first, because it was requested by the bride's mother, and second for how it turned out...

Yes. Taking breaks is something I'm bad at. I get hyper focused, don't notice my back is killing and my elbows are literally creaking from being locked in position, until I go to move again. Is not a good habit but hard to break.

Oh fun! Come show off - tag me if you remember. Work as open as you can, US 17 or bigger. Starting too small was my mistake. Had to reknit and my tiny wires got all kinked in places.

Milquetoast Wallflower @liquidknit.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Years well spent, it's a lovely heirloom piece. It never stuck for me either. Glad crochet has helped allow a yarny creativity with less pain for you

Thank you. It was a trial lol, but fun learning experience on what not to do. Just glad I didn't kill ALL the lights. DebbieT posted a mass produced one like it awhile back... had to try it.
