I hate how weak willed I am. I went to this weaving shop to pick up my goodie bag for this workshop I had to miss because I was sick. Why did I leave with a skein because it caught my eye 🙈 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #knit

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs less to house people.

Back from my trip that I did not want to leave. But means I can order yarn for my next project! 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

Flu derailed all my plans of the last week 🙂. -15/10, do not recommend to anyone.

I have a few days to pick yarn for an airport project. Ooof the pressure is on. And I'm already shopping around for my next sweater. Thinking of doing a sequined lace sweater by James N Watts for pride. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #knit www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Did an Icelandic bind off for the neck. Ignore the fact that I still didn't close the underarm. The body is a little long... Even with a tighter gauge. Idk if I should attempt surgery given it seems that's how the style is supposed to sit. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #knit

I got to leave work early so I finished the yoke! I have to do my neck short rows, a neck band depending how I feel, underarm stitch cast off and remove the provisional yarn on my cast on. I feel like I'll look like a grade school teacher (and not mad). 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #knit

Already in the middle of the audiobook Sociopath: A Memoir by Patric Gagne, PhD. I'm so fascinated by psychology and it's even more interesting to get a firsthand account of someone sharing their thought process and experience. #booksky 📚

First time having to manage 3 yarns in one row. I think I'm getting the hang of it. I cannot imagine 4 or 5 or 6! 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #knit

Add to the list of spineless, opportunistic businesses to stop supporting. We called it a very long time ago about their conditional support. They want your dollars but could not care less if your rights and livelihood are at stake. #pride 🏳️‍🌈 #SanFrancisco #SF www.them.us/story/san-fr...

Here's a progress pic of my #TerraSweater (Annika Konttaniemi) from Icelandic Knits. Currently 5 rows into the yoke. And I still have to do a three needle bind off for the underarm stitches. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #knit

I finally got to the yoke colorwork of my sweater. Do y'all ever do a jogless technique for a circular yoke sweater or do you just go round to round? 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #knit

I had to share; I won the most intense game of yarn chicken and won! 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #knit

I know that oftentimes we really are at the whims of income coming in to sustain ourselves. But I'd love these administrators in writing or on camera explaining what the problem is. I'd want them to come into my classroom and take it down because I'd refuse unless they provide reasoning.

I'm finding it so delightful to run into hay that likely fed the sheep in my léttlopi yarn. It makes me feel like I have a closer connection than I do to the sheep. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #knit
