I voted today! Yay me! Early voting began today in Connecticut. I know we're a pretty reliably blue state (tho I live in a red section) but never have I felt more urgently the need to vote. Praying for the blue wave

Fall knitting! It’s the beautiful season in the northeast and my local fiber group had a fall challenge: make any thing that includes colors orange, yellow, brown green and red. I knit the Pressed Flowers Kerchief by Amy Christophers. #knitting #bskyknits #knitsky #handknitting

#showmeyourknits what’s on your needles! Because I can never work on just one project at a time, I have five on the needles: a summer Tee (yeah, I know), a colorwork wooly hubby sweater, the start of a blanket and two pairs of socks. #knitsky #bskyknits #knitting

Who else is knitting Nancy Wheeler’s Lake Ontario Socks pattern? This American wants to honor the legitimate name of the beautiful great lake we share with Canada so I cast them on yesterday to join the KAL. Lake Ontario forever and love to Canada and all your amazing people!

Finally a finish! I’ve been struggling with back pain this summer so the knitting has slowed way down. But a new pair of socks for the gift box is a win I say! #knitting #knitsky #bskyknits #handknits

Connecticomix!

Outrageous. Rand Paul should be removed as head of that committee. He has abused his position for a personal grievance.

I stand with Dr. Anthony Fauci …because I value EVIDENCE over conspiracy, DATA over rumors, and SCIENCE over politics. No public official is beyond criticism, but there’s a difference between honest scientific guidance and misinformation. I’ll choose evidence EVERY time. #medsky #publichealth

Shawls on #showmeyourknits this week! This is the Woodlark shawl that I knit a few years ago. It was knit in the round and steeked, very warm and folkloric. Pattern by Danish designer @Fibertales #knitting #bskyknits #knitsky

Working on some textured socks for my husband this week #showmeyourknits

Shorty sock use up leftover yarn and are fun to knit and to wear! I love heel tabs but do wish mine came out neater. The pattern here is Simply Sporty Shorties by This Handmade Life #knitting #knitsky #bskyknits

Getting back into my knitting groove after a stressful few months. Finished Edgar Slipover by Kolibri by Johanna using a multicolor mohair paired with a burgundy colored sport weight wool. Came out pretty nice! #knitting #knit #knitsky #knitter #handknit #bskyknits #loveknitting

More socks! Birthday present for a good friend. #bskyknits #knitting #knitsky

Cables on #showmeyourknits! I am working on the Ebbs and Flows Scarf by Jennifer Shiels Toland with these undulating 16 stitch cables. Loads of fun to knit, not boring at all! #bskyknits #knitsky #knitting #handknit #loveknitting

Finished my Field Sweater by Camilla Vad at long last! Just in time for warm weather 😁 I do love it and look forward to wearing it when it’s cold again. #knitting #handknit #bskyknits #knitsky #loveknitting

No Kings Rally in New Haven CT. Picture does not reflect the thousands who were there! It was awesome and quite a diverse crowd, lots of younger people this time. #nokings

Heading off soon to join my son and his wife at No Kings protest in New Haven CT where I will debut my Melt the Ice hat! Meanwhile here’s a WIP turned FO yesterday 😁 #knitsky #bskyknits #sockknitting #loveknitting #handknit

The number one rule for No Kings 3 tomorrow is DO NOT INTERACT WITH COUNTER PROTESTERS! Do not talk, do not argue, do not react to their words, their single-finger salute, or their rolling coal. DO NOT ENGAGE!!!! You safety team is ready to deal with any negative people.

#wipwednesday today! Active on my needles clockwise from top left: Field Sweater, Ebbs and Flows Scarf, Hazel Shorty Socks and Oslo Hat. The joy of knitting is keeping me sane! #bskyknits #knitsky #knitting

It’s Show Me Your Greens on #showmeyourknits this week! I’m working on this nice olivey green Field Sweater by Camilla Vad right now. #knitting #bskyknits

My attention span has kept me mostly knitting socks so far this year. Here are two pairs of Hazel Shorties just finished, the green knit incorrectly by knitters error but still nice, the pink the way they are intended to look! #knitting #knitsky #bskyknits #handknit #loveknitting

Wow.

Jackpot at the thrift store! Four quality knitting books for three dollars! Dozens of great patterns and tons of inspiration. #knitting #bskyknits #knitsky

First of three Melt the ICE resistance hats finished! The pattern by Paul Neary @Yarn_Cult is modeled on resistance hats worn by Norwegians during Nazi occupation until they were outlawed by the nazis. #knitsky #bskyknits

The news is so depressing and knitting helps keep my spirits up. Just finished another cosy pair of socks and started the first of three Melt the ICE hats to wear to cold weather protests and support the people of Minneapolis and the immigrant community. Pattern by Paul Neary #knitsky

Love shorty socks as a way to get a second pair of socks from one 100 gram skein of sock yarn. Just finished this pair from @thishandmadelife ‘s pattern Simply Sporty Shorties #knitsky #bskyknits #knitting #handknit #loveknitting

My God, what has this country become??

Last cast-on of 2025 and first finish of 2026! A pretty basic beanie from Knots of Love the Lazy Traveler Beanie. This meant to be a charity pattern so it will be given away. Knit in Lion Brand Wool-Ease. #knit #knitsky #bskyknits #knitting

Last of the Christmas knitting! These are a pair of Christmas socks I made for my husband. Its a great free pattern from Cygnet Yarns Ltd. I chose to only do the colorwork on the legs and skip it on the feet. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Bluesky! #knitting #knitsky #handknit #bskyknits

Christmas socks knit up from a pattern by Grey Owl Knits called vintage Christmas Bauble Socks. I loved knitting them and will be wearing them on Christmas Eve! #knitting #knitsky #knitter #handknit #bskyknits #loveknitting

My final gnome for the Year of Gnomes kal 2025 is Gnectar from Sarah Schira’s book The Gnomes of Grimblewood. #knit #knitting #knitsky #knitter #handknit #bskyknits #loveknitting

More Christmas sock knitting. These are knit with West Yorkshire Spinners Yuletide and Evergreen using the pattern Collection of Columns by Nancy Wheeler

Pete Hegseth is a murderer. Full stop.

It’s close to the end of the Year of Gnomes kal 2025. Gnoel is my November gnome and the cutest yet! Ready for the holidays! #knitting #knitsky #bskyknits #handknit #loveknitting #knitter

Recreated my childhood Christmas stocking for my grand-niece per my brother’s request. This was a vintage Bernat pattern that I found online years ago when I wanted to knit one for my grandson and his sister. My old stocking on the right, the new one on the left #knitting #knitsky #bskyknits

Well now I can post my October gnome! This is Gnettle the pumpkin witch gnome which was a mystery kal by Sarah Schira. I modified her to add arms because she needed them to mix her cauldron and hold her broomstick lol! #knitting #knit #knitsky #bskyknits #loveknitting #knitter

I finished a hat! This is the Oslo Hat by Petite Knit. Three layers of knitting over the ears to stay warm on the coldest days. And fits right in with the Show Me Your Knits prompt of hats this week.

Practicing our constitutional right to peaceful assembly and free speech in Killingly Connecticut. Over 40 No Kings protests taking place in this state today! Twice the turnout of No Kings 1 at this one! We were a real quiet bunch of terrorists 🤣

A newly finished pair of socks is whats new. Collection of Columns pattern by Nancy Wheeler. I do love knitting socks! #knitting #knitsky #knit #bskyknits #loveknitting

I finished a thing. The Gingko Shoulderette Shawl by Maggie Magali, a free pattern on Ravelry. If you’re comfortable with lace charts its a great pattern, quick and easy! #knitsky #bskyknits #knitting #knitter #loveknitting #justknitting #handknit

August Gnome, finished yesterday once again in the nick of time. This is Gnoddy, from Sarah Schira’s book The Gnomes of Grimblewood, in his natural green habitat. #knitsky #loveknitting #knit #bskyknits #knitting

Martha Raditz is really disgusting me with her interview with Governor Moore. She is clearly pushing against him in a way I’ve never seen her with any Repub or Trump minion! This is how the MSM is failing our country!

Still knitting Gnomes for Sarah Schira’s Year of Gnomes 2025 KAL. My August edition is Gnome de Plume! Ready for autumn! #knit #knitting #knitsky #bskyknits #loveknitting

Finished a pair of socks, the Elven Woods Socks by Olivia Villarreal using leftover Berroco Vintage Sock yarn. #knitting #knitsky #bskyknits #knitter #handknit #loveknitting

I will be satisfied when they vote her out and don’t replace her with someone equally devoid of ethics and a soul.
