These were a bit on the big size when I first made them for the grandsons but at least they’ve had two plus years wear out of them 🧶

Sing Me A Song of a Knitter
by Doreen DellaPenna Pendleton 
Sing me a song of a lass who is gone, Needles will fly till night.
 Children not fed, husband not bed, 
No walk for dog in sight. 
Projects galore, yarn out the door, What's a poor lass to say? 
Stitches to try, more yarn to buy, Knitting her life away. 
Sing me a bit of a lass who will knit, Red eyed with blissful stare.
 Knitting non stop, stitches may drop, No time to wash her hair! 
Cowls and mitts, warmers that fit, 
Miss Fitz would laugh out loud!
 Kilts in our dreams, matching up seams, 
Face Book Clan, be so proud! 
So, knit me a shrug, give us a hug, 
A lass can't find time to dress. 
Cables and purls, we are the girls, Stitchenachs, Je suis prest!

Outlander season 8 (the final 😢 season) starts today!
We knitters have a special fondness for #Outlander because of the knit pieces in the show.

When I’m knitting buttonholes, I turn the work and then cast on, it makes it smoother. Hope this helps 🤞

My favorite sweater is unraveling! I think it got caught on something in the wash :( Does anyone know of a place that does knit repair in the Salt Lake valley?

Parliament is debating the use of private finance in the NHS today.

PFI has been a disaster for NHS Trust finances - leading to £80 billion repayments for just £13 bn actual investment.

With Keep Our NHS Public @KONP, we say the public should be consulted on all new finance initiatives. #NHS

Erin thank you for asking lmao, I am launching a pint-glass-mediated native plant education project. I just got the glasses yesterday and delivered the first 17 cases today 😅 they’re going to bars all over the city to try to reach people who would not seek at this kind of information online

After freezing I have kept everything in plastic bags. Also use impregnated wood in sweater drawers. Good luck 🤞
