#WIP for #ShowMeYourKnits socks! quelle surprise 😂 using Eye of the Partridge on the sole, slipping the first stitch in the round had a not good effect,frogged that and try to figure out why…maybe slipping the first stitch purl-wise wyb and not wrapping the stitch? I’ll put in a lifeline first!

#showmeyourknits #knittingWIP #WIP #inspiration My current projects: low key, not requiring too much thought, while going through my stash to try and match a pattern. One is the WWII watch cap for volunteers to knit for the navy; the other is a hand towel to use up a small amt of really nice linen

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.
