  3. 🧶🧶🧶 Interesting brief article about knitting and political resistance - the red hat.

    "People who opposed the occupation and the Nazis were known as... the Norwegian Nazi equivalent of libtards. Nazis also frequently accused their opposition of being communists."

  5. 🎨🎨🎨 COLOR JAPAN 🎨🎨🎨

    Prepare to have your mind blown! An entirely different way to think about color... Radical shift - IRO Vol.1 : The Japanese Philosophy of Color and Imperfection...

    "Japanese color names are coordinates of time, of place, of emotion." Literally.

  7. 🧶🧶🧶 FINALLY back in the saddle with knitting. Nasty old shoulder injury cropped up about a month ago. Ugh, soooo painful.

    Started this new Stephen West shawl, #Icelandscape, only to realize I don't have enough yardage of colors, so am subbing in some solid sections which should work fine. It's good to have needles back in my hands, and to be back with all y'all!!

  9. Why wool and other natural fibers are superior, plus best techniques to use these textiles on the bed - like forming a heat envelope. Worthwhile!

    "Across high seas in wooden galleons, each introduced a genetically distinct breed with origins in various regions of Old Spain. Together, these four distinct breed lines merged to become the renowned Navajo Churro of the southwest."

  13. 🐾🐕🐾 "Puppy Copper accepted by the sheepdog pack??!!"

    More antics of a shepherding dog in training, in some misty nook of Scotland. Delightful! Loving this channel, it's keeping me sane ATM. Sometimes set to music.

  15. I love watching this working sheep dog. Look at her intention, herding those sheep from field to pen, and then in pen, separating out one. I could watch this all day! "Brave sheepdog vs big angry ram"

  17. Whenever I get to this point in magic circle (end of first round) I feel like I’ve messed up? This is only my third time doing this mind you, but the single pink thread “joining” makes me uneasy & my tail yarn gets woven in weirdly sometimes…

  18. 🧶🧶🧶 Slowing things down a lot on this #WestKnitsMysteryMusiKAL shawl, designed by #StephenWest of #WestKnits.

    Clue #2 - nine curvy bands of color - each held to the next with narrow eyelet strip in pink mohair.

    Teaching myself to enjoy the process. Turns out there is no race against time, just an old habit to rush, that I'm working on eradicating.

  20. 🧶🍾🥂🧶 Clue #2 = soooo much easier!

    Yes there is stitch counting for short rows. Using stitch markers helped a lot with both those things. Looks more orange here than in real life.

    I go back and forth between liking this #MKALand finding it all too busy. I proceed, having faith in #StephenWest and #WestKnits. Onward!

  22. 🧶🧶🧶 Jesus, Mary and Joseph, people! FINALLY finished Clue #1 of #MKAL- the MusiKAL shawl from #StephenWest of #WestKnits. It was a beast.

    All those ends to sew in. Juggling 3 needles for all those welts. The constant color changes. Aiaiaiai.

    Clue #2, with its glorious long bands of garter stitch, here I come!

  24. A lovely short (15 minutes long) documentary about the sheep, wool and knitting of the Faroe Islands. Explores the rich history, island yarn producers and designers in their studios/shops, along with the 100+ motifs associated with the island. A worthy watch!

  30. Slogging forward on the WestKnitsMKAL2025.

    I'm 2/3 of the way through clue #1. The final clue (#4) is about to come out! So, I've had to majorly adjust my self-expectations. It's OK to take longer. I don't know why I put these time pressures on myself.

    Peeked ahead at clues #2 and #3. This design is wild! Based on music.

  32. OMG I finally finished part one of clue one of the #StephenWest #MKAL. Hooray!

    Tried for the brioche stitch for THREE AND A HALF DAYS!!!!! Still couldn't conquor it, although I think I finally understand what went wrong. Epic fail.

    Plus a color change. Plus a color order change. Finally, off to the races. Yay! #WIPWednesday

  36. Hey everybody, check out this gorgeous yarn my sister in NJ just sent me, out of the blue! It's called Peace Fleece, a blend of Navajo and US bred fleeces spun together into one yarn, their website has the whole story. Started as US-Russia. Beautiful rustic yarn, woolen spun. Check out the video I made of it!

  38. Houston, we finally have lift-off!

    Got MusiKAL off the ground, at last. Hit the brioche section, a stitch pattern I've never done before. So a LOT of frogging going on. I keep reminding myself, frogging IS knitting, part of the process. Am one week behind. If I can conquor clue #1, clue #2 looks super easy. This is a fun one!
