Knitting has been an act of resistance against oppression for centuries. Thanks @aoc.bsky.social for reminding folks of what a powerful symbol of liberation women's handwork is in this dark time.

Madder, Marigold, Indigo. All grown and dyed from my garden. There can be such a strong connection between nature and knitting <3 But for real, I love experimenting with what I can do! (pattern is similar to pilot/copilot on Ravelry) #knitting #dye #naturaldye #cowl #handknit #handspun

It shouldn’t be? I do social science research and the thing is that all the methods and measures we use are published. You can go look at the questions we asked in any survey. Go decide for yourself if any given study is biased in some way.

The first (but not last!) pair of socks I knit this year. There is nothing like working with your hands to create a sense of calm. Also, added coziness ☺️
