I've been MIA because life and unfortunately death has had me in a choke hold. I've posted a couple of videos about life, knitting and coping. Care to join me? youtu.be/G72_PUn2Gco

I FINALLY got my yarn in to make @sannipauliina.bsky.social Path of The Night pattern. I've been waiting so patiently. Letlopi definitely doesnt have a piece of soft found but the sturdy and long wearing warmth is gonna be 🤌🏾 I shared the yarn colors in my latest video. Come knit with me.

Come on over, let's knit a bit. Don't forget the coffee. In this video, a Big Wip is finished, and a pocket snafu on the Besties Hoodie.

Need some help to figure out should I cut these? The internet says cut the head before they separate, but these look like individual florets, not a full head? Also, is this pale greening, a sign of it turning yellow? I'm in #zone7b #gardening

Omg...it's only 8:11 pm and I want to go to sleep. Why am I fighting it lol. I sat and knit on my shawl for an hour, so so slow. To be fair...it IS raining...and this is definitely sleeping weather.

#gardening #newgardener I planted broccoli from a local nursery last year in June. Didn't have anything happen until December when I started getting small crowns fast forward to today. How do I know when these are ready to cut off the stalk? i'm ready to eat them lol Btw they're in my greenstalk

Found this audio and it accurately describes most of our feelings while making.

New Week, new updates. This week is also asked for you all to dig in your old knit book and magazine library, to find some old but new inspiration. Many of our old publications have gems that pioneered today's knitting. Do you have a favorite knitting publication?

THIS Sunday is GORGEOUS And not just because all my yarn brings the most joy. .but the sun is out, bright and warm. A delicate yet forecful at times breeze lol. I'm having the most peaceful end/start to the week. #BiscottiSweater #PlusSizeKnits #Knitting #BeginnerKnitting #BlackGirlKnits #Yarn

Making progress on my Biscotti Sweater. I'm surprised at: 1. How easy it is to memorize the increases 2. How fast it's growing Since I'm partially confident in the size I chose, I'm gonna do a try on at the stitch count for the size smaller and see how it feels.
