Shh I’m counting… She/her, AuDHD*, trans rights enthusiast, socialist, feminist, eco-worrier. Yarn and thread glutton. Careful spoons manager. GNU T Pratchett and I M Banks. *I consider my kid’s diagnosis a BOGOF but call it self diagnosis if you want.
@annehealthcare.bsky.social have produced a very useful guide about what to do if your GP stops your hormones prescription or refuses care. Remember you have rights and options, and they have legal, ethical and professional obligations.
This is lovely yarn but it’s scary to block. I knit it up and tried it on and it was perfect. Then when I got the stuff wet to block them they instantly turned into bedsheets. So I’m waiting for them to dry to see if they turn back into socks…

This is Summit. He is a friend to pretty much everyone he meets. But has a special soft spot for the little critters who stop long enough for him to say hello. 13/10 (IG: bakerbarnes)
Love the stripes, very cool socks
This week’s episode is the tariffs case. The Court struck down Trump’s tariffs, resulting in all the things we love: bizarre dissents, conservative infighting, and embarrassing mainstream media coverage.
Absolutely excellent article here from @erininthemorning.com summarising, in plain terms, the terrible methodological failures of this evidence review.

We didn't ruin the economy.
We didn't get you laid off.
We didn't replace you with AI.
We didn't raise gas prices.
We didn't foreclose your home.
We didn't cause your divorce.
We didn't get your kid snatched by ICE.
We aren't in the Epstein files.
Leave us the fuck alone.
I did!
The two great forces of the natural world…
I have just turned the heel on sock II and looking at it have realised that I have five birds instead of four. At this stage that’s just going to have to be part of the charm..!
I don’t know how I managed that… it’s my own vaguely sketched design but still…
Blue striped sock laid flat on a towel. The leg is all blues in a bobbly knot and purl pattern, the foot has some blue bit more greys and blacks.
First sock: blocking. Feat. late pattern re-planning when I realised that the second part-ball wasn’t the colour I thought it was… I like. The stitch pattern is totally lost in the stripe but I like the texture. 🧶
Width of adjustable blockers is crap for huge socks. #scraps #knittingSocks #knitting
Looks great, and the exciting armpits remind me of a bird of paradise or something similar… you know how they can look quite subdued and then they raise their wings to display their beautiful colours… 😀
Pink, white and pastels sock with little pink birds marching round the cuff and pink heel and toe. The main part of the sock is in broken seed stitch with the which as the mean colour so it sort of looks like mermaid scales
Very pink birbs for impending kid in law who likes things very pink.

The alternating of rows is a rather fiendish idea for stretching out scraps…
There must be something in the air. I had an accidental collision with eBay (a bundle of sock yarn!!!)
They’re really brave to be out there at all, we should be encouraging them and not judging them against the real team.
Lottie Fitzgerald, 35, from Southsea, has developed a strong attachment to a blue studio pottery mug she was given last Christmas. She reports that she is beginning to feel intensely anxious about the effect on other mugs that she owns.
Little handmade things photographed badly are my favourite
It looks like a geode!
Looks great and suits you. I hope you feel good in it

Two striped socks with a slip stitch rib. The top sock is small and crumpled, the bottom is neat and well finished
The wonder of blocking
It really is magic

Because the last thing a ‘spectrum’ is supposed to do is encompass a variety of experiences and challenges? Spectrums being famously used to designate narrow and strictly limited concepts…?

Finished pair of green striped socks with frogs round the cuffs and a frog face on one toe, a stack of frogs on the other toe.

Thank you to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for your clear support for the trans community. In a political climate where too many are stepping back, visible allyship from political leaders matters.
We were proud to meet Zack at launch of the Trans Lives Report by @transactualuk.bsky.social
Generic adjustable one. These purple ones seem to be pretty much the only adjustable option that doesn’t cost a fortune to ship to the UK. This sort of thing: ebay.us/m/tbH6Gy
I was worried it would be crappy but it’s nice and solid and well made.
