Got a little knitting done during the Superb Owl 🦉 🏈 🧶

I read a quote somewhere that “Artists are our emotions first responders.” Lindsay Rush is such a one—she writes poems based on News Headlines people send her. This is her take on Rebecca Shaw’s headline in The Guardian:

Today’s pairing features the same cheese+crackers as yesterday but with a much more knitting-friendly New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that still tastes good even after being opened a few days ago. Unfortunately I didn’t get to go to NZ myself to pick it out but rather down the highway to Costco again🧶🍷

Yesterday’s wine pairing: A lovely Malbec with English Country Cheddar and crackers from Costco as well as gorgeous teal yarn that is not from Costco. Yeah I normally pair white wine with knitting but we’re living dangerously here… 🧶🍷

Eating yogurt the day after it expires. What can I say? I must like livin’ on the edge 🙃

“Bunny had a secret elevator?? Where does it go, Hell??” 🤣 Wanna get away? I mean, not in Bunny’s elevator but on a fibrous knitting journey with a mystery knitalong:

Ready for my daily walk. Do I have enough hand knits on? 🧶

Hand knits and crochet on the tree 🎄 The tiny mitten and little tree were knit by my grandmother, and the crochet heart was a gift from a member of my first knit group back in Maine (circa 1990?). Got any special ornaments made of yarn on your tree? #Knitting

It’s cold out, so time for a warmer sweater. I loved knitting this one since you only have to cable every tenth round—plus, it’s a nice fit. Not too oversized for a drop shoulder. #knitting

Trigger Warning: Taking scissors to your #knitting is not recommended unless you’re a little wackypants (like me) and EXTREMELY sure that you’ve properly secured the sts above the cut. I was but it was still stressful! Yes, I could’ve made 1 tiny snip below the secured sts, but I had enough yarn

It’s finally cooling off in western mass, so I dug through my sweater boxes and pulled out my Groot cardigan (of the galaxy 🙃) this morning. The yarn I used has been dc’d, so I’m curious what your favorite heavy worsted/light Aran weight yarns are for cables like these? #knitting

I knit up a shawl recently in Rowan Felted Tweed Colours—long color changes: It knits up as a lofty DK.

I haven’t quite got the hang of Bluesky yet, but here’s my latest, greatest: the pattern is out on Ravelry now #knitting

Getting ready to publish this beauty this coming week. For the record, it’s for a knitting *pattern* not the handknit item itself (hey, that’s why I don’t sell on Etsy 🙃).
