With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

63 years ago today, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led the first historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. They understood that equal economic and voting rights were the path to ending racial inequality in America.

My kids are on the older side (17 and 18) - they don't require as much "hands-on," so I knit to distract myself from the dumpster fire around us.

WOW! I'm so flattered, but I don't sell my work. I have such a hard time keeping up with my kids' requests that I just don't have the time! You could try a local knitting store and see if they can connect you with someone locally. You can get the pattern here www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

I'm knitting my rage 🧶
Hand-knit beanie shown from the back, featuring bold blue-and-cream stranded colorwork. The word “ABOLISH ICE” is knit in large block letters across the center, framed by horizontal bands. Vertical blue-and-cream striping fills the crown and lower edge, with a neatly finished ribbed brim. The hat is photographed indoors, resting on someone’s knees, highlighting the texture of the stitches and the clarity of the colorwork lettering. Protest knitting, knit pattern, stranded knitting, political knitting, handmade hat, #knitsky #craftiverse #ravelryA pair of hand-knit mittens laid flat side by side on a light wood floor. The mittens feature blue-green and cream stranded colorwork, with a large hand giving the middle finger in a cool ice looking color across the backs of the hands. The palms are knit in a dense, textured pattern, and the cuffs have vertical striped ribbing for a snug fit. The crisp colorwork and even stitches highlight careful craftsmanship and intentional protest knitting.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Working on something simple as I wait to start PT to resolve my tendon issues. This cloud-like confection is the Louvre Sweater by Petite Knits, featuring Marianthi Sock yarn in Flicker with two strands of Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Rainy Day. It is slow going, but progress is progress.🧶
A partially completed grey sweater lies on a warm wooden floor, glowing softly in natural sunlight. The piece is the Louvre Sweater by Petite Knit, worked in a haloed, cloud-like fabric that shimmers faintly. The yarn—a combination of Marianthi Sock in Flicker and two strands of Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Rainy Day—creates a silvery grey base with delicate flecks of pink, blue, yellow, and green. The high ribbed collar and raglan shaping are visible, with stitches resting on circular needles. Two soft, airy mohair balls and a speckled yarn cake sit nearby, hinting at the luxurious texture and lightness of the knit in progress. #knitknitknit #strikstrikstrik #strik #tricopathe #knittingismyyoga #handknit #knittinginspiration #slowfashion #ravelrypattern #craftiverse #yarn #wool #yarnaddict #knitwear #knit #knittting #thacktastic #pullover #sweater #handknitsweater #handknits #jumper #bex_knits2025 #knitsky #craftsky A person models a partially completed Louvre Sweater by Petite Knit, showing progress on the soft, silvery-grey fabric. The sweater, knit in Marianthi Sock in Flicker held with two strands of Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Rainy Day, has a plush, airy texture with subtle rainbow flecks scattered throughout the stockinette body. The high ribbed turtleneck frames the neckline, and the raglan shaping is clearly visible across the shoulders. The hem remains unfinished, with stitches resting on circular needles. The wearer’s white long-sleeve shirt and dark jeans provide contrast, highlighting the sweater’s luminous halo and gentle drape. #knitknitknit #strikstrikstrik #strik #tricopathe #knittingismyyoga #handknit #knittinginspiration #slowfashion #ravelrypattern #craftiverse #yarn #wool #yarnaddict #knitwear #knit #knittting #thacktastic #pullover #sweater #handknitsweater #handknits #jumper #bex_knits2025 #knitsky #craftsky

A close-up of progress on the Whale Sweater by Linka Neumann, showing stranded colorwork knit in worsted weight yarn. The design features a pale blue whale motif emerging from a deep green background. The ribbed hem in hazy skies blue transitions smoothly into the patterned section. The project is knit with East Coast Yarn Company’s colorways Blue Spruce and Hazy Skies. The sweater is stretched across circular needles, resting on the knitter’s lap.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?

omg - the tariffs are miserable here, and they haven't even really hit yet. My husband and I made a number of purchases this summer in preparation: he spent $ on solar panels and an electric car, and I stocked up on yarn from Europe.

I'm using Spincycle Fiber's Dyed in the Wool in the color Pandemonium. It does all the heavy lifting of color changing itself! I've seen some projects where people flip the pattern and put it on the bottom before the ribbing of the body, which I think I might do. I just love the colors in this skein

For the record: Boston is a safe and clean city. My teenager and his friends often take the train in and bum around the city without adult supervision. We don't need the National Guard. We need the EPA, DOE, CDC, FDA, National Parks, and affordable healthcare (to name a few) more.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Ooey Gooey on the needles; Outrageous on the tele. My goal is to get the body done over the weekend. 🧶 #rhinebeckooeygooeykal www.ravelry.com/projects/Reb...
A partially completed Ooey Gooey sweater by Drea Renee Knits hangs on a wooden hanger against a white paneled door. The sweater yoke features colorful stranded colorwork knit in Spincycle Yarn, with a ribbed neckline in marled yellow and gray. Below the collar, bands of turquoise, pink, and red create a wavy motif, followed by bright yellow and lime green accents that pop against the dark gray body. The sweater is still in progress, with stitches held on turquoise and pink cords secured by purple stoppers at the underarms. This piece is being knit as part of the Rhinebeck Ooey Gooey Knit Along. #rhinebeckooeygooeykal #rhinebecksweater #ooeygooey #rhinebeck2025KAL #dreareneeknits
