See more of what's up in Calgary with less of the doom. Some days, looking at everything related to Calgary is a complete doomscroll. I'll update it when I see too many posts that mess with my zen-like serenity. bsky.app/profile/did:... To discuss the feed: #morecalgarylessdoom #yyc #calgary

I don't understand why we call the funniest and most clever form of humour "dad jokes."

Gah. Made this mess trying to find the inside thread of the ball. How could I go so far off track? I pulled the innards out of the ball and spent so long unraveling the massive knot. There are still entrails spilling out of the ball. Need a machine to spool yarn onto bobbins. #yycknitting #knitting

This is the best patio in southern Alberta today! And the worst sandal tan. #Calgary #yyc #patio #guitar

My first pottery project since making an ashtray in grade five. I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's very hand-made, and I love the docent degrees of transparency in the white and blue glazes. Did this at 4Cats Inglewood Art Studio on their Hygge night. #Calgary #YYC #pottery #crafts

That was fun. I'm so tired of seeing this colour pattern. Mistakes were made. But I'm happy with the results! Yarn from @stashlounge.bsky.social #yycknitting #Calgary #knitting #knitsky

These half finger gloves were a COVID project. Each finger was knitted on dpns. I wasn't paying attention when I bought the yarn. I just liked the colours. One long colour gradient, oops. They've lasted well, and cleaned up nicely with some woolwash. #yycknitting #knitting #YYC #Calgary

Nerd Fibre Calgary, I'm looking for an inclusive group for fibre fans, for social knitting, crochet, etc., especially if it is a group of awesome nerds and geeks. If I can't find one, I'll make one. lmk if you're interested. #Calgary #YYC #YYCknitting #knitting

Is there any face I can make that will force you to give me some chicken? #entlebucher #sennenhund #mountaindog

Because nobody asked for this, and I was interested in Bluesky feeds, here is a feed for Calgary knitting: bsky.app/profile/did:... It can only start with posts from the last week, but will keep old posts starting now. Lmk if there is something missing. #calgary #yyc #knitting #yyckniitters

Second Sock Syndrome is real. I'm knitting these toe-up, two at a time on two 100cm circular needles. I use both ends of the skein, resulting in the pattern of one being the reverse of the other, which I quite like. Lang yarn from @stashlounge.bsky.social #knitting #knitsky #Calgary

In 2019, the last time Alberta was awash in separatist nonsense, CBC Calgary commissioned me to write this essay. I re-read it today - and it seems to me as true as ever. And I thought this weekend might be a good time to share it with you, my new Bluesky friends. #Alberta #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg

For some reason the BBC has just sent a push notification out about an article that says 50 people in Alberta want to join the US. I’ve never seen a push notification about, for example, people in Wales wanting to secede from the Union.
