Needed a way to see how all my yarns knitted up so I’m calling these my swatch socks!

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Cleaning out my closet and found my college portfolio. This live sketch stuck out to me. Why was I so hard on myself? I was/am a decent drawer. I think I’d like to revisit live drawing again.

Absolutely stunning!

A hand knit purple beanie with white and green stripes in a ribbed texture.

On this day of economic black out, I finished knitting this beanie for a friend.

This friend is a federal worker who was illegally fired, got their job back and may still be a risk of losing their role.

Make things, be creative, support one another, that is how we will navigate this chaos.

Signed up for an intro woodworking workshop! And an upholstery class! Hoping I can get to the point of making furniture of my own.

Snowed at least 3 inches yesterday, great opportunity to break out my scrappy Sophie hood. Fun colors to break up all the white snow.

happy presidents day

In my swatched filled weekend, I finally got around to this lovely pastel tweed yarn that I picked up my local scrap exchange.
Compliments the dark red and black quite well!

A rainbow swatch to brighten your day! What should I make with this combo? I’m thinking another beanie.

Aww thank you!!

a knit raglan top in dark purple, orange and white stripes stopping at the nipples as it’s in progress.

Making progress on the Rumble Raglan by WhatLydiaMade, really loving how these colors work together.
Admittedly it’s super cropped, so the rest of the knit fit check pics are a bit thirsty~😉

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Finished my lil red beanie last night and had to wear it out immediately. Peak hipster honestly lol #guyswhoknit #knitsky #knitting #gayknitter

My troubles will totally be solved by knitting a little red beanie #popofcolor #queerknitter #knitting #guyswhoknit #gayknitter #knitsky

i like being an artist because i have a lot of stupid ideas. then i can turn them into reality and inflict them on everyone else

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

Thank you!

Knit everywhere, including at BJJ tournament #knitsky #knitting #kniteverywhere #guyswhoknit #gayswhomnit #bjj #mma

i hate when you’re reading a book and you can tell it was written by someone with a tiktok addiction

An oil painting. Accompanied by the young satyrs and nymphs with whom he grew up, the young god Bacchus rides in on a goat, probably alluding to his origins as a fertility god worshipped as a bull or a goat. Bacchus's plump, old teacher Silenos looks on from the hill while mature nymphs and a satyr dance in the background. Despite Bacchus's identity as the god of wine, no one drinks wine in this picture.

On a different note: the Sophie hood is being finished today

To remain informed is both education and terrifying. Trying to pace myself like it’s a marathon and I suck at running.

I just want to shit post weird stuff from antique malls

I’ve been knitting the Sophie hood. Decided to do the large. I didn’t realize how LARGE it was going to be. It’s nearly 5 feet long.

A pattern for troubled times:
Row 1: put your phone down
Row 2: pick up your hobby supplies
Row 3: make something for at least an hour
Row 4: take a photo of your make
Row 5: share that photo to your timeline (with alt text)
Row 6: like others' makes.

Rep rows 1-6 until time for tea.
