This is absolutely a common failing of @nytimes.com , @washingtonpost.com , @cnn.com and other media institutions in the USA But I have to say, if anything, the situation is worse across the pond at the BBC.

Just finished knitting this cowl, from the free pattern (www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...) by Susan Ashcroft. Learned two new things (new to me anyway) - how to do a provisional cast-on with waste yarn, and how to graft/join with the Kitchener stitch. Deets in the alt text, as usual. 🧶

Was recently gifted a huge stash of wool skeins, one an unlabeled ball of golden yellow thick & thin. I don't get to play that often, so this was Big Fun. 🧶🦁 #handknit #knitsky #woolyarn #vincent4ever

How it started. Image of a large ball of golden yellow thick & thin yarn of unknown composition or source being knitted on a pair of very large (US 17, or 12 3/4 mm) knitting needles. I had no idea if this would end up as a scarflet or a wall hanging.

How it ended: Scarflet won. Image of an elderly woman being choked by a piece of art to wear, secured with a button from her "Beauty & the Beast" fandom days.

The Granny Sunflower Scarf - I saw something like it on Pinterest and made up my own pattern, combining knit and crochet. Took 3 months. In contrast, I made a slouchy hat to go with it yesterday. Lion Brand "Jeans" yarn in the "Topstitch" colorway. 🧶 #crochet #knitting #fiberarts

The scarf. Started 11/19/2025 and finished 1/25/2026. Still needs blocking, but you get the idea. Image of a knitted and crocheted scarf in a marled golden brown yarn, photographed on a pale blue bedspread. Measures about 6 feet long and a foot wide. Or so.

Image of a tall Barbie doll wearing a silver tank top and a pair of light brown hand knit trousers. I made a few adjustments to the pattern, in order to fit the Tall Babs, give them stovepipe legs, and a back closure. I used Delightfully Fine lace weight yarn in the colorway "Coffee Lover", held double, and knit on 2mm needles.

Recent offerings to The Kitchen Gods: Apple pecan coffee cake, and bun-sized panini. Haven't made a coffee cake in YONKS - turned out pretty great. Also, misjudged the bake time on the buns - could have used another 5 min. Toasting takes care of that. 🍜🍽️🍞🍎 #bakesky #panini #coffeecake #homebaking

My (late to the party) attempt at the #loveyourselfmandala. Deets in the alt text, as per usual. Now, this heart ain't perfect, but it is Just Right. 🧶💗 #freeformcrochet #ravelrypattern #crochet #butisitart

Image of a crocheted heart motif on a black leather surface. The heart is in three colors of yarn; pale pink, rose pink, and steel gray. All respect to freeform fiber artists. There's engineering going on there, to a level I can only aspire to. So I'm working myself up to actual freeform crochet with baby steps - trying things out with a project that utilizes some freeform techniques. The pattern, #loveyourselfmandala, is from Louisa Sheward (available for purchase on Ravelry); the three colors used are all size #1 Rainbow 8/4 100% cotton yarn from Hobbii. Turned out bigger than I thought it would, being about 7.5" across at its widest point.

Younger grandson's 17th birthday gift: a Tunisian crochet necktie. Followed Mode Bespoke's YouTube video for the pattern (www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUpB...) Deets in the alt text. 🧶🎁👔🚗 #tunisiancrochet #crochet #crochetednecktie #manualtransmission

Image of a crocheted mens necktie in blended shades of dark blue, gray, and olive, laid on a pale gold bedspread. The tie is folded in half so it would fit in the photo - it's actually 5 feet long. I wanted the tie to have a distinctive appearance, so Tunisian crochet was the perfect choice. The sock yarn used is from Cascade Yarns, specifically Heritage Paints - a hand painted sock yarn colorway called "Thunder." It had been in my stash for years.

Closeup image of the Tunisian crochet texture, and the tie pin. I made it from the medallion that was on the gear shift knob from the car I liked best to drive - a 1982 red Toyota Corona (I called it The Tomato). I really loved that manual transmission. Anyway. I had this originally made as a lapel pin (sterling silver backing), but I converted it to a tie pin for my grandson, to celebrate his growing skills as a driver.

Instead of tying things up with a bow, I opted for a half-Windsor knot.
