I was a Peace Corps Volunteer years ago, proudly serving my country. It wasn’t perfect, but I believe in the ideals upon it was built. Now- now I’m mortified, embarrassed, horrified, disgusted, depressed, and furious. #Slava_Ukraini

Hello Knitting friends. I’ve only been knitting a year and am still learning.I REALLY want to make my first sweater. Any recs for a first sweater? Is it easier in pieces or the top-down method? No colorwork yet. My instructors gave me a few ideas but I’m looking for more. Thanks! 🧶

First block done, 11 to go! This is Block 1 of the Building Blocks book from Michele Hunter (Knit Purl Hunter) it’s supposed to be 12”x12”, but is somewhere around 10.5-11. We’ll see how it looks after I finish blocking it. #knitsky #knitting #showmeyourknits

I usually relocate spiders however this girl was too close to my face and a little too big for me to feel comfortable moving her to my plants. Needles to say, she did not get relocated. Female Black Widow Spider.

Behold the Bewind Hat. This was a fun and easy knit. It took me longer than anticipated only because I didn’t have the time to devote. I’m still a slow knitter. #knitting 🧶

Hello fellow Knitters 🧶 I’m starting to accumulate different sizes of interchangeable and dpn needles. I’ve been keeping all my equipment in an old unused makeup bag, but I’m outgrowing that and need more organization. What do you recommend that will hold my needles? I have a cord bag.

Learned a new stitch today. The Twisted Stitch. This is the start of the Bewind Hat. The yarn is worsted and definitely has alpaca in it, but I’m not sure whose yarn it is and what else may be in it is; it was donated to me by a friend. I love the way this is shaping up. #knitting 🧶
