Hello everyone! It’s been a dang minute since I was on here!

This should simply be the most basic level of human compassion! How on earth is it a debatable who gets to eat and who doesn't! 💚

Bright light green yarn tied in a hank and nestled into a bucket, floats on water getting ready to soak.

Frogged, rehanked, and ready to soak. I probably didn't need to soak the whole thing, just the yarn ramen, but that seemed weird. Yarn is a lovely speckled colorway from @sisterananseyarn.bsky.social. #knitsky
