I saw a Sophie hood out in the world yesterday, just as I was contemplating giving up and frogging this project.

Walked up to a random stranger to compliment their work, and their reply: "I have never met a crafter in the wild before, you made my day."

Thank you Universe, for this sign! ๐Ÿงถ

This is a hilarious discussion on grammatical gender, and the challenges of equating it with gender.

Sophie hood ๐Ÿงถ๐Ÿงฃ attempt number 3 with a different gauge. I don't know why I do this to myself.

My yarn is thicker. It knits beautifully, so I decided to stick with it. I wans't able to achieve the pattern gauge.

Hopefully I will find the right adaptation soon ๐Ÿ™‚

No matter how progressive a linguist is, our field has a long, dark history of being a weapon of colonial and racist powers. It is a shame that this history is not a part of our training, and we repeat the same mistakes.

Every language science association MUST condemn this.
