Personally, I'd just launch straight in to them and learn on the job. If you're going to practice you might as well practice on a sock.

๐ŸŽ‰ COVER REVEAL! ๐ŸŽ‰

THE TRUE COST OF WOOL, by @longwayhomestead.bsky.social, is ready to show its face! This groundbreaking investigation into Canada's wool supply chain reveals how 90% of our wool is shipped overseas while ~95% of craft yarn is imported, according to the most recent available data.

In a different lifetime they'd be asking Michelangelo why he covered up the magnolia woodchip.

Hopefully he'll update you soon.

Are you monitoring his mail and phonelines....or did you just want a performative social media response?

I think also maybe plantationers (13)

I'm sure a great many of them have voiced their concern about women's safety in public washrooms...but apparently public meetings are absolutely fair game. I find the MAGA rules baffling.

Yes, the fact that one of them had packed his zip ties before heading out to work is alarming. She was being kidnapped in a hall full of idiots cheering. Chilling.

Or maybe a cowl if you have any concerns over decreasing and cabling at the same time. I don't think you'll have issues - but just adding it here as an option.

Trauma aside...it looks like lovely yarn. Socks need to be negative ease so don't panic about the fit. It looks great.

It's a difficult choice when looking at heirloom pieces - undyed (of any shade) seems the safest option, as it's something that wouldn't be associated with a period of time.... but not always the most exciting to spend so much time working with.

Yes once I'd seen how much I had to work through the frogging of some of it became an even easier decision. Some projects serve their purpose without needing to be finished. :)

Thank you- it was a lockdown present for a dear friend who made me a rainbow lap quilt. I did find it hard to let go of though :)

Yep :) from memory I have a hand sanitiser and a virus one somewhere too!

This week's prompt is lace - my favourite type of knitting. (aside from the bits that make me swear) #ShowMeYourKnits #skyKnits ๐Ÿงถ
