You might see the below image going around being circulated regarding the Union St fire in Glasgow.
It's AI slop. pure AI slop. Relatively convincing if you don't know the place, but 100% Fake.
Don't share it - debunk it.
Lets go into more depth....
Renationalise the water industry.

It was so warm today I'm going to put my squishy cardigan WIP on hold to focus on a cotton blend summer sweater 🧶#Knitsky
Two swatches of knitting with lots of different stitches in a sampler
Multicoloured Swatch using slipped stitches.
I've been knitting some practice swatches for the two sweaters I'm going to knit soon.🧶 Looking forward to getting started but have a few WIPs to finish first #Knitsky
I used that yarn (maybe even that colour) for a cowl. This was how the stripes knitted up in a basically moss stitch over 144sts if that helps.
Dog groomers, pet owners, anyone who puts fur out for bird nesting... STOP

But forgot the #Knitsky hashtag 🧶

Lovely texture. Can you remember what pattern it was?
William Blake’s illustration for “The Tyger” has what appears to be a dippy grin for some reason.
The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night
What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!
Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick
It depends what you use it for. Maybe Flipboard would work?

Lovely to see signs of spring, and smell the Daphne at Nymans Gardens @nationaltrust.org.uk today.
Nothing new to share for garter stitch week on #ShowMeYourKnits but here are a few examples of my favourite garter stitch projects. I've knitted this peacock feather shawl and diagonal blankets many times to use up leftover yarn. 🧶
I have 8 WIPs, so of course I've cast on a 9th today! It's not just me is it #Knitsky ? On the up side it is mostly from my 🧶 stash 🙃

Thanks for sharing. I think I will try that 😊
Thanks Sue 😊
I do enjoy knitting with some wool (though others are hard and scratchy) but most of my knitting is for charity and has to be machine washable. I think it's only fair to new parents to apply that to baby/child knits too.
Thanks Maren. It's lovely to see you here.
Diagonal garter stitch blanket in many colours
I've started early for #ScrapAlong2026 as I try to reduce my stash of oddments 🧶 with a diagonal blanket. #Knitsky
I've not done much myself but it will depend how different the skeins are. This was my first project in Malabrigo Arroyo and 1 skein was much more pink than the rest so I used that at each end and the rest in the middle.

A Swedish mitten museum sounds fabulous. Who knew?
I would alternate every 2 rows to avoid long loops at row ends. If using more than 2 skeins you might want to overlap the changes (1 and 2 for a while, then 2 and 3, then 3 and 1 etc.)
