#KnitSky another beginner question (sorry if I'm spamming too many of these lately!) - I find the very last stitch per row ends up very loose despite my best efforts to maintain tension, and pulling on the working yarn doesn't help (the looseness is in the other thread). How should I fix/avoid this?

#KnitSky looking for inspiration for my next project: what are your favourite patterns that use one skein or less of yarn? Bonus points if they're free! (money is a little tight rn, ergo not wanting to buy a ton of yarn either)

Learning to knit, day 5: 13/20 sections done, but now I'm almost out of yarn! Oops. Should have thought about that sooner. For my spouse's birthday on Friday, I'm planning to give them a card explaining the situation and include photos of our cat modelling the WIP :) #KnitSky #WIPWednesdays

#KnitSky learning to knit, day 4: is this the perfect way to spend a morning or what? 😄 Started the Close To You shawl yesterday, and made a ton of progress after a VERY full day of knitting... it's a long shot, but it'd be awesome if I could finish it in time for my spouse's birthday on Friday 🤞

Learning to knit, day 3: just bound off my practice/test knit (though it keeps curling in at the top; was that something I did during bind off, or is there a way to avoid that in general?) -- starting my first real project soon! 🎉 #KnitSky

#KnitSky looking for recommendations on projects to show off this yarn, that I can make as a beginner knitter who only owns a pair of straight knitting needles. Any suggestions? 🙏 (other than the default "scarf" lol, unless you have an especially cool scarf pattern I guess)

Learning to knit, day 2. It's gratifying to see the rows get neater and neater closer to the needles. #KnitSky

#KnitSky finally got some supplies, day one of teaching myself how to knit :) very glad my cat is chill with it haha

#KnitSky I keep seeing (and loving!) so many of your gorgeous creations on here that I think I want to give knitting a try myself :) Does anyone have good resources to recommend for an absolute beginner?

#KnitSky - those of you with cats, how hard is it to knit with your cat nearby? I have to cross stitch in a separate room or she goes crazy batting at the threads... wondering if I'd be able to knit on the couch in peace if I took up knitting, or if that'd have the same problem lol

Genuinely so hype for this, Inkle don't let me down 🙏🙏🙏

Merry Christmas everyone! #Cats #CatsOfBluesky

this poem got a lot of flak when it was written because people have no reading comprehension but i've been thinking about it a lot again (by @vinayrk.bsky.social unless i'm mistaken)

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Jazz singing is great as an autistic woman because scatting is literally just "vocal stims but make it music" lol

10/10 take. No notes.

All I want in life is to persuade everyone, when encountering politics & culture, to ask, "why are we talking about this?" I mean that very literally: anything you encounter on your screens reflects a choice. Someone covered that, talked about that, rather than the many other things out there. Why?

-cease and desist -null and void -aid and abet -free and clear -ways and means Why is law stuff like this always two words? These are called ‘legal doublets’ and we can once again blame the Normans. 🧵⬇️
