Planning my next project: I promised to make a cowl for my son's partner, and this perfect pattern dropped last weekend. If all goes well, we will go yarn shopping later this week. Local shop, local yarn dyers. #BuyCanadian #SupportLocal #knitting #knitsky 🧶 ravel.me/guardian-cow...

Canada is ready. We will fight. I thank the Prime Minister for his powerful statement in response to the thuggish attacks by Trump. We are unified as a nation. Our American cousins are divided. We will kick at the darkness until it bleeds daylight. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

This morning's grocery shop took a little longer than usual. We checked labels, bought Canadian wherever possible, and did not buy a single American item. We are not alone: the shelves were overflowing with orange juice but the apple juice was sold out. #BuyLocal #SupportCanadian #FuckTrump

A bunch of losers went out and threw Nazi salutes in Alberta, Canada yesterday while holding racist signs. Might be time for the media to stop calling them “hand gestures” and start reporting on this big fucking problem for what it is!

~Our question to the UCP is basically – ‘are they prepared to sacrifice a multi-billion-dollar food industry for a coal mine?’” Acoal mine could create 400 jobs, while nearly 200,000 people downstream rely on agriculture for the economy we have in Alberta. www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/leth...

Current project: Zilver shawl for the women's shelter. I am determined to make a dent in my yarn stash this year. The problem? All my friends keep giving me yarn so I can continue knitting for the women's shelter. This is item 148 (1st was in 2018). #knitting #knitsky 🧶
