My sister recently lost her beloved dog, Sprout. And having seen @lindadiakquilts.bsky.social latest work, I was inspired to try to memorialize Sprout for my sister. It's not perfect but I am happy with how it came out so far. The quilting will be a challenge for me for sure.

Finished these lovely “Will o the Wisp” socks yesterday by Olivia | knitting patterns & project bags. An easy pattern to remember with #colossalsockyarn from Simply Socks Yarn Co in colorway Peridot. I adore this yarn. I have enough left to make another pair of socks!

The “president” has posted 31 times this morning -old videos, and many many lies. I guess he’s not a happy camper today. (Not that he would have ever camped ever in his life). I hope his day only gets worse.

The photo labeled A is an ssk experiment. I’ve never been a fan of how the (ssk = slip, slip, knit) as a left leaning decrease looks when compared to knit 2 together, the right leaning decrease, so I experimented with various versions of the ssk, which all looked awful.

Nope, he’s not worried about the mid-terms, not worried about what’s coming. Nope, he’s just trying to stifle free speech, feed the masses bullshit from the actual fake news sites. This shows his weakness, his desperation, his fear.

Typical screed from the whiner in chief about new book “Regime Change”. He misspelled his nickname “Maggot” for Maggie twice. Magot and Margot. Also misspelled her last name. A tell that he was furious when he typed it and pretty much confirms what he protests so much.
