🧶🧶🧶 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."

🧶🧶🧶 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!!

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

🐑⚓️🐑 NAVAJO CHURRO SHEEP 🐑⚓️🐑

"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."
