Nothing cheerful to say. It’s just a heel flap kind of day.

All of the 2SLGBTQIA+ letters, the colors, the genders, the love, the ages. All of the yarn.

Be scrappy.

Working on my Dignity Cap design size L in sport weight yarn, also known as knitting in the afternoon sun on the porch, giving intention to each stitch.

Okay TikTok, I see what you’re doing. In my December 30 post and every post since, the tag #GayKnitter has been deactivated. Now, at 63, I’m no stranger to heterosexual attempts to erase me. I’m not impressed by your pandering.

Stressed? Me? Why do you ask? 😬

It’s true. In times of stress, I knit more socks. 🤪

I find odd satisfaction in knitting small versions of things. 😬 Sat in the afternoon sun today and carefully blocked the brim for my skeleton’s tricorn hat.

Oh my YES! These colors look amazing together, and my finials look wonderful in the bright aqua. Not quite ready to show that part yet. 😋

Middle finger mood, because of course this new tiny sock ornament is best displayed on my longest finger. 😀

Pirate sock ankles are finished, so I’m ready to walk the plank (knit heel flaps). I’m privately pleased that all 10 ankle stripes are different yarn - no repeats. Can I keep that up? We’ll see.

I completed a 6 ft long piece of knitted lace and have an urge to roll it into a pillow or loaf. This will be part of a larger design. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Knitting friend @cubmikie (IG) bought a copy of Snooker the Balloon Dog (thanks, Mikie!) and brought another knitted balloon dog into the world. Enjoy a moment of bright blue whimsey with Mikie and me. ☺️

I started this glitten (mitten with a forefinger) last January, but I thought I was farther along when I set it aside. 🙄 Time to hop to. Waste yarn holds stitches for the thumb and finger.
