Local friends, now that the Portland weather will be consistently warmer, let me call attention to the big wrap-around covered porch on this house—and the extra chair. If you, like me, are craving some IRL chatting, lemme know. I’m happy to host some BYOE (bring your own everythi

Now that they’ve arrived at their new home, I can share photos of the cute little stuffed hearts I made for a friend. They make such good use of leftover bits of yarn, I can totally see more of these in my future. ❤️ pattern is Love You Forever by tanisfiberarts | yarn by bluem

And now that my dear friend tonijosews has opened her package, I can finally share some finished shots of the #birdsofafeathershawl I made for her! 🤗 It’s maybe the biggest shawl I’ve ever made, but all that silk mohair makes it squish down to practically nothing. Knitting with

I forgot that I never posted the finished baby knits the #sepdxfibresquad made for our own Shannon and her new baby. The #babysurprisejacket was made from all the leftovers from the blanket (picture 3)! 🤗 https://t.co/bpBQmnkFkD #insomniaknitting

There is a not-insignificant part of me that’s tempted to leave all the yarn ends on my #frameworkbralette as a haphazard fringe. 🤔 https://t.co/nErrSZ6pNm #insomniaknitting

When everything you’ve knit for the last, like, six weeks is on tiny needles with tiny yarn and your fingers and hand start to ache, you dig through your old stash for enough yarn to make a chunky, marled #ursasweater to give your hands a wee break... 🙌 https://t.co/vErU1WYoDy

It was family movie night. This film is a must for all Americans, especially white folks. It’s a master class in storytelling and so dense with critical information that I have no doubt we will all benefit from multiple viewings. If you haven’t seen it yet, I cannot stress strong

My friend Geraldine posted this on Twitter and I immediately retweeted it. And then I realized there was more I wanted to add to it.

On the whole, I prefer to be on the "when they go low, we go high" end of the scale, but this is no time for complacency. This is no time to mince

When you buy two skeins of the same colorway from a small indie dyer with more than a year between purchases, you really have no reasonable expectation that the skeins will match up well enough to be used in the same project. You buy that second skein anyway, because of course yo

I do love a reversible garment. ☯️ Here’s the finished Fingering Weight Brioche Bandana Cowl by lavanyapatricella, with a couple shots of each side. The contrast is more evident in person, so I hope to get better pictures from the person who’ll be on the receiving end of this co

My backyard grapes are about to bid adieu to this gift knit; it’ll soon be en route to a place where their fancier cousins make famous wine. 🍇🍷 https://t.co/uIGUTxgopU #insomniaknitting
