Peonies today

Holy shit @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com is on fire tonight! Showing Musk to be his true hollow, cruel self. And then ripping Rubio a new one.

One round was enough for me in the sun, so sitting in the shade #knitting my Cumulus top, birds chirping and a nice breeze. This is my happy place #knitsky #showmeyourknits 🧶

Doing a swatch for a new sweater in moss stitch. New yarn for me, Harrisville Designs Highland in Cobalt blue. Very intriguing #knitsky #showmeyourknits 🧶

Peonies are starting to bloom #flowers

Repurposed knitted 🧶 kitty blanket, put elastic around the edges, made a pad with some stashed fabric and filled with poly batting. Satisfied customer 🐈😻 #catsofbluesky #knitsky

Sometimes no matter how clearly you speak, some will only hear the version that they have created It’s not your burden to correct their story Their opinion is nothing next to your truth. Be you, always 🧡 (Author unknown)

I took another couple pics in daylight since this previous one was at night. Color is more accurate. This is KFO Pure Silk. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 #knitsky

#ShowMeYourKnits for this week is WIPs, so here's my Cumulus by Petite Knits in Knitting For Olive Plum Rose. It's the thinnest yarn yet that I've used, takes some getting used to. Catching a split yarn in a stitch is now easy to remedy (uh just don't split in the first place) 😛 #knitsky 🧶

Ohhh, just landed on a new tip for stitch stoppers, apparently through Norman of Nimble Needles: put a lightbulb stitch marker through the hole where you tighten your interchangeable needles @yellowandblackmail.com #knitsky 🧶

I'm new to Knitting for Olive Pure Silk. I've read that it drapes, and it's not stretchy, can be hard on the hands. What else should I know? I did 2 swatches, using US 2.5, one wood, one metal, blocking now...wood got me close to gauge for Cumulus #knitsky 🧶

Maisie is a shameless begger #catsofbluesky #caturday #trickswithcats

I'm proudly wearing my recently finished knitted top. It's so soft and the color is so vibrant that it's a joy to wear 🥰 Yume by Isabell Kraemer, in Malabrigo Silky Merino Teal Feather #knitsky #showmeyourknits 🧶
