#showMeYourKnits this week is baby knits and I finally have something in that category! I made this little beaver for a coworkers newborn. It is my first attempt at a stuffie and his little face is hilarious. A fun and quick knit. #knit #Knitting #beaver 🧶 www.ravelry.com/projects/Pur...

#showmeYourKnits is things you’ve knit more than once. Been a while since I’ve shared been busy with things but I’ll reshare my two Haruni shawls. These got me into lace! The regular and the spiral version. My second one was much better! See my page for more project info

One more colorwork project for #showMeYourKnits, a bit different than my usual animal themes… made these for my music teacher brother. Making all of these mittens this winter helped me level up my colorwork skills, so now I can be confident making a colorwork sweater. #knit #fiberArts #music 🧶

My #wip is the Haruni Spiral with this sockulent yarn from Little Knits. I am making this for my mom and chose this yarn because the pattern reminded me of mermaid or fish scales. My first lace and big project in a while after so many mittens. I love lace the most! #showmeyourknits #knitting 🧶

These are done and on the mats just in time to mark this off my 2025 goals. I had to learn color-work, DPNs, mittens, picking up stitches, and reading charts-none I knew before 2025. Really proud of the tension! Finished post later! #knitting #knitsky #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 #resolutions

#showmeyourknits horror story week, this Haruni shawl had multiple mishaps. the white yarn became a huge tangled mess that left me in tears. At some point near the end, a stitch snapped and started unwinding. I was able to felt and stitch it back together luckily. 🧶#knit

“This one goes out to all the folks in Chicago who are relatively safe, and who want to do something but don’t know where to begin…” Great advice from Gabe of Protect Rogers Park. Time to flood the zone

Text reads

This one goes out to all the folks in Chicago who are relatively safe, and who want to do something but don’t know where to begin.

Start today. It’s a beautiful day. It’s also the day we are likely to see a jump in ice activity.

So get up, get outdoors, and flood the zone.

Walk around. Patronize immigrant run businesses. Visit a neighborhood you’ve always been curious about.

Walk slowly. Look around. Look down side streets. Be curious. Flood the zone.

If you speak a language other than English do it in public, loudly.

Make sure your phone is charged, and the camera on it works. Look people in the eye, especially anyone who seems like a fed. Let them know you see them.

Meander. Sit on a bench. Have a snack. Be present. These cowards prefer anonymity, don’t give it to them.

Carry a whistle. Three short blasts for “ice is here”. One loooong blast for “heeeeere”.

Wear a monarch butterfly! We at ProtectRp and many immmigrant rights groups use the monarch as a symbol of solidarity because those butterflies migrate. And they are beautiful.

Text reads

Flood the zone.

Tomorrow join a group- do rapid response, mutual aid. Meet your neighbors. Host a meeting. Take the next step.

But today take the first. Get out there, become one with our great city.

Flood the zone
