🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸 A MUST-WATCH 🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸

Damn this is powerful stuff, especially as the #Epstein survivors share about what happened - or hasn't happened - with the #DOJ. This really floored me. Please do take a moment to bear witness.

🤬🔥🤬 Oglala tribe in #Minnesota in #Minniapolis, searching for the four tribal members arrested by #ICE, and supporting the demonstrators there. They are steaming mad. And hugely articulate - Well worth the watch.

This nursing home is part of a large chain, owned by investment bankers who could care less. They have scraped every last quarter, dime and nickel. And the oversight is practically nonexistent. It is truly appalling.

👉👉👉 Another absolutely disgusting dinner here at the nursing home...

*Supposedly* it's lasagne. And that is a heap of very distressed lettuce to the side - old, limp, browning. No salad dressing either. Just UGH.

🐸🧶🐸 Lookity look, the frog is ON!!

Thanks to #FinishOrFrogAlong, I was finally able to let go of this project that just wasn't calling to me anymore.

Nordic roots (Estonian, Germanic) -a culture of no waste and finishing what you start - can be helpful, but not always. This shawl had become a torment. Fun to plan, not fun to knit.

It's OK to frog. It's healthy to frog!

Picked out 2 skeins so far. Ideas explored all playing off this quasi-autumnal cream speckled yarn from HedgeHog. Maybe add this darkish gray, a gold or golden brown, a deep blue, or maybe a deep berry brown? Pop a mohair somewhere? It was hard to see in artificial light, and I'm not sure about the aqua tones on that speckled one.

🧶🧶🧶 This year's #StephenWest shawl #MKAL is a good one:

🧶 4 high contrast colors
🧶 Solid or speckles work, as long as high contrast - great for stash-busting
🧶 Fingering weight, w optional "mohair dare"
🧶 Built-in "early exit" if running low
🧶 Has extender options, if you want a large "shlanket"
🧶 Starts in October, so syncs up perfectly w #FinishOrFrogAlong 😊

For #WIPWednesday I present to you yet another Reyna shawl, a pattern that plays well with gradient yarns.

This skein goes from pink to grey to brown to a deep forest green. It's fun watching the colors unfurl!

🧶🐔🧶🐔🧶 Another Emotional Support Chicken!

Using scrap yarn, this is 1st one I've made of wool (v. acrylic). I must say it's a much more pleasant knitting experience - 2 strands fingering held together on US2 needles, so very tight, but wool gives some spring.

Still, my upper arms and shoulders hurt! It's OK, I'm knitting off anxiety, and it's a workout my muscles need.

🧶🧶🧶 More on the Ivy Scarf, kerchief option, worked in Classic Elite Giselle mohair, color Cloud.

All charted, it's a surprisingly easy pattern to follow. Also offers long narrow version in two sizes.

Trying for one chart done daily. There are six, A through F. This is one of those times when it's helpful to have several WIPs going at once - I can switch back and forth.

🧶🧶🧶 Here is link for Romi Hill's 2025 MKAL, a triangular shawl. Kicks off May 23rd, so plenty of time to prepare.

Romi's MKALs are great! Pattern has a theme, clever new technique, weekly in-depth #YouTube, robust forum. She offers a pay-as-you-can purchase model. Annually, a lot of people participate.

I'm all in, swatched and ready to go. Consider joining me!
