A tired progressive knitter.
When working on a cable for the #UnfreeMAL, and you’re too lazy to find a knitting needle. Toothpick for the win! 🧶

Jackson was kind enough to model the chonky knit cowl I recently finished.

He is also available for hugs for anyone who wants one.

When you can’t decide between 2 yarns, going with a third option is always a choice! Started my #UnfreeMAL in Sun Valley Fibers 80/10/10, with some cashmere.

Decision paralysis … which to knit with.

Soft and snuggly Fino or what I think will be good stitch definition in blue.

Finished the first pair of socks in over 10 years. I learned that of course I can still knit socks, but I do need cheaters and good light with dark yarn.

Pattern: nothing special, plain vanilla tops down sock

Yarn: Meine Wolle Moench

Over 10 years since I’ve knitted a sock, so why not start with dark yarn for a Men’s size 14 🤷‍♀️

There may have been some swearing at the heel.

I thought I’d show the only professionally photographed knit I own.

For my wedding I knit the Sweet Dreams Shawl by BooKnits in Good for Ewe Mirrorball

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.
I’m in Oversight Committee right now. Ranking Member Connolly just called for a vote to subpoena Elon Musk. Republicans out-number us on this committee, but many aren’t in the room. We’ll see who wins this vote. We deserve transparency and answers.

If it feels like Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to destroy our country from within, that’s because it is exactly what they are fucking doing.

Trump announces massive tariffs at 1:00 today.

Ok, now we can blame the president for higher gas prices.

Canada accounts for about 60% of U.S. crude oil imports. If Trump's tariffs end up applying to that oil, that would likely cause gas prices to rise in the U.S., Canada's ambassador warns.
