Just off the needles, the free Sherbert Bandana scarf. I didn't like the edge, so I did a little crochet around the whole thing. I used 2 skeins from my stash of Plymouth Suri Merino (55% Suri alpaca, 45% extra fine Merino wool.) Here's the pattern link: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knitsky

It's raining outside so a disappointed George is cat-napping on the Bergere chair by the fireplace. Sweet boy. 🧡🐈💤 #cat #kitty #kittycat #orangecat #georgethecat #boycat #catnap #sweet #adorable #catsofbluesky #catsky

TRAIN DREAMS is a beautiful, quiet, poetic film that will both break your heart & uplift you all at once. One man's life journey during the early 20th century in the stunning Pacific Northwest. Enchanting, and as lovely as any painted masterpiece. ❤️ #movie #netflix #traindreams #5star #poetic #heart

Easy peasy: C/o 6 stitches, US size 13 double points, knit i-cord to the size you like. Don't bind off, cut the end to 8", sew through the live stitches one at a time to the c/o edge. Use remainder of the yarn end to stitch a running stitch on the inside of the ring to tighten it up to your liking.

TA DA! Finished in no time. Six little wreaths with velvet ribbons. I used a handspun, hand dyed wool from La Lana Wools that I carefully stored for decades. Directions in the first comment. 🧶🪡🎄 #knitting #christmas #knitsky #wreath #diy #handwork #needlework #ornament #winter #green #handdyed

I'm so excited! I just purchased this Glorafilia Swans needlepoint kit on Ebay, adapted from a wallpaper by Walter Crane. It's unopened & perfect. I'm thrilled. My early Christmas present to myself! 😀 #needlepoint #glorafilia #swans #art #artistic #needlework #williammorris #waltercrane #arts&crafts

Darling George nestling into the tops of the sofa cushions just over my shoulder. He can make almost any place look like the coziest, most comfortable kitty cat bed. This is his new favorite place, next to my head. 🧡🐱 #cat #catsofbluesky #catsky #kitty #georgethecat #orangecat #orangetabby #love

I saw this vintage Christmas wreath and am using it for inspiration to make one of my own. I have TONS of MCM vintage ornaments and just ordered 50' of vintage Italian made silver tinsel garland for the base from Ebay. Photos when it's finished! #christmas #christmaswreath #vintage #mcm #diy #craft

I hope if this monstrosity is ever finished it's henceforth called THE FELON'S BALLROOM.

We know because it's Trump. Not fair, no bid process, and definitely quid pro quo.

Here they are: The Trump administration said it selected Clark Construction to head the project, with McCrery Architects designing it. WE NEED TO PUBLICLY PROTEST THEM AND PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS.

Find out who the contractors are. Punish them publicly. Sue them. Put them out of business. If the orange slop can't be stopped, punish those who are enabling and facilitating this destruction. Stop any further work. Make that miserable sop live in this falling down monstrosity of his own making.

It's rainy day in Portland today, so I started another Cloudberry Scarf Bandana. This time, Tahki Homespun Donegal Tweed 100% wool worsted yarn from my stash, & size 9 (not 5) needles. It will be substantially larger than the last one. The free pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knit #knitsky

Cloudberry Bandana Scarf is a super easy knit. 1x1 rib staggered every 2 rows with decreases at each edge row. Knit on size 5 needles with Berocco Ultra Alpaca from my stash. 1-1/3 skeins. The pattern is free here: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knit #knitsky #cloudberry #knitscarf #knitbandana

ALSO, read through the comments of people who have knit this pattern on Ravelry. There is a problem with the written pattern, there are too many motifs to get the correct width says this person: www.ravelry.com/projects/Dur...

So sorry, but I've not seen this pattern, or knit it before. What's the issue for the sadness? Anything that could be viewed on a YouTube tutorial? Maybe do a search on YouTube and see if someone else has successfully knit it?

The Scandinavians pin the garment to the blocking boards and then spray it with a mist of water. I find that's a much better method than dunking in water, squeezing, then pinning.

Blocking really is the final finish to hand knitwear. :)

Sorry, Sidney, it's Pollack. I also worked for Universal CEO Tom Pollock, so I get the spellings mixed up sometimes. Sidney was another great talent and very nice man. Tom, not so much.

I worked for Sidney Pollock during the post production of Out of Africa. He invited me to join a dinner with he & Bob Redford. It was an interesting conversation about projects, writing, development & scripts. A talented man, but mostly, you were nice & that's what I'll remember most. #robertredford
