I’m doing this tomorrow for independent bookstore day & breaking my last ties with the evil empire. I don’t really have a local and am looking for one to support through this membership. Any UK favourites? Do I have any #bookstore followers? HMU

Daughter is one of my most knit for; she’s very knitworthy & often pushes me to learn new things with the patterns she chooses. My first ever sweater (green), Zoey sweater in Willow & Lark 🧶. Same one requested again 2 yrs later (blue). Yes, they are supposed to be same size 🙃. #ShowMeYourKnits

Just mooching through ravelry, as you do, and came upon the Fight EB scarflette by casapinka, which looks like a fun knit www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... 🧶🤩

Some folks at work are setting up a crafting nook with yarn, crochet hooks, and knitting needles as a respite for law clinic students working overtime these days. They've asked for beginner videos to point students to when the space is unstaffed. Anyone have favorites they'd recommend? #DHmakes

The penguin is quilted and ready to protest! It’s a bit crooked, but I have had vertigo off and on all week, so I’m okay with crooked.

#FOFriday redux. Here is the bride wearing the shawl I posted last week, my version Snow Angel shawl by Boo Knits with a modified beaded picot edging using Knit Picks’ silk Luminance yarn in the Purity color way and generic crystal clear beads. 🧶 #knitting #knitters #knitsky #showmeyourknits

4-day weekend here & I finally cast on this Bergliebe that I swatched a few weeks ago 🎉! I’ll def have to do some work over the weekend, but time for #knitting, too. Yoke is so interesting, it’s making the start go easily (I’ll prob be crying when I have to knit the rest in 3.5 mm). #ShowMeYourKnits
