As of February 5th we have reached a total of $650,000 in donations. Funds last week were donated to STEP St. Louis Park emergency assistance for rent and other aid and the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund. We are working on donations to other local organizations. Stay tuned for more info.

We are speechless. We are overwhelmed with the generosity of the fiber community and beyond. This outpouring of love and support is felt around the state. Because of you, we can help so many people who need it.

Thank you thank you thank you.
Keep knitting. Keep resisting. Keep showing up for your neighbors.

For my fellow knitters, our new resistance hat is an old Norwegian Nazi resistance hat. Link in the article to buy the pattern on Ravelry, and all proceeds go to immigrant nonprofits in MN. #knitters #blueskyknitters #knitting: www.npr.org/2026/01/31/n...

Just feeling the cozy vibes of a chilly day combining my own and my Oma's handspun into a scarf/hood situation. The grey is Wensleydale lambswool blended with Merino and the green is my Oma's handspun, unknown fibre. The squish is intense #showmeyourknits #blueskyknitters #handspinners #handcrafter

Well this cardigan for my eldest child took me nearly a year because I lost my knitting mojo about half-way through, but it’s finally done!

Pattern: combo of Douglas Cardi by Andrea Mowry and Unplugged by Hook Mountain Made.

Yarn: Lanas Light from Berroco

New Pattern! I just hit the button to activate my mysterious and important shawl pattern on Ravelry. It's inspired by the Emmy-nominated AppleTV show #Severance.

I give you, The Floor. Alt text has info on yarn colors, etc.
Yarn from @leadingmenfiberart.bsky.social
Pattern at: ravel.me/the-floor

Shawl wrapped around the shoulders of a dress form wearing a blue dress. The shawl has bands of blue, green, and yellow-green, and some small teal squares that overlap where the yellow-green band meets a white band. There are grey lines forming a grid on the white.

Colors are inspired by the Awakening Chamber and Elevator Lobby on the Severed floor.
Blue = Helly's dress in the Awakening chamber (also the color coding for the Macrodata Refinement department
Greens = carpet
Teal = chairs in the lobby
White = hallways
Gray = panel divisions and ceiling grid in hallways

All yarn by Leading Men Fiber Arts
Color 1: It's Cold Outside
Color 2: Lucky Charm
Color 3: Dirty Truce
Color 4: All the Way to the Bank
Color 5: Bare Necessities
Color 6: London Fog

The Severed Floor elevator lobby.
This is a rectangular room with off white walls, divided into panels with silver bands. The ceiling has a grid of black lines on frosted light panels. The floor of the room is carpeted in tan. On top of the carpet is a rectangular rug, with concentric bands of color. From the outside going to the center, they are olive green, yellow-green, and true green. There is a coffee table and 6 teal green upholstered chairs on the rug. A tall plant is in the back left corner of the room.

Image is from severance.wiki.

A jade green wall has a dressmaker form in front of it. The form is covered in a bright orange dress and a colorful shawl. The shawl has concentric bands of color: coral, teal green, apple green and dark blue-green. There are small red squares where the apple green and dark blue-green bands meet. Light yellow-orange lines form a grid over the dark blue-green.

All yarns from Leading Men Fiber Arts
Color 1: Citrus Splash
Color 2: Perfection
Color 3: Bean Stalk
Color 4: Fierce and Fabulous
Color 5: Shadows in the Trees
Color 6: Nacho Cheese

An alternate color for the shawl, for those who don't want to match a TV set.

Okay knittybuddies-how would execute the following instructions (I’m knitting Rift by Jacqueline Cieslak):

“W/o knitting them, sl the 1st st on the LH needle over the 2nd st to bind off…”
