Honestly, knitting is one of the ways I can keep myself grounded despite the torment nexus.

There is something wonderful in putting in the work & seeing progress, stitch by stitch. When it becomes a finished item I can wear or gift or donate to someone else? That's a beautiful thing.

I have almost finished a #Knitting a thing and to encourage myself to finish it I've bought some ~PINS OF DOOM~.

Seriously, there were about ten:

"THESE PINS ARE INCREDIBLY SHARP.
DO NOT STAB YOURSELF OR ALLOW CHILDREN OR PETS TO STAB THEMSELVES" -

Warnings on the packaging and the box AND the instructions sheet.

I'm at knit camp. This is a knitting retreat I organize, intended to be inexpensive ($200 for the weekend including all meals, vs like $1200 you'd pay at other retreats). So we're inhabiting a dorm at a former college turned event venue/restaurant/retreat venue. The food was really good, and served in the former dining hall as a buffet. It was, hands down, the best buffet food I've ever had. Right now I'm in my room, which is a former dorm room. Two twin beds, but at least I don't have a roommate (I could do, I just didn't want one). The bathroom a bit down the hall. The other folks at the knitting retreat are hanging out in the lounge in the center of the dorm and their talking is echoing down the hall (it's not even 10 yet, I'm just tired).

This is just a delight. It's like the good bits of dorm life but none or few of the bad bits. Though I do have to schlep outside to get to the dining hall, at least it's a short walk away.

This is a good place to forget about the world for a little while. And I'mma work so hard on the hat I'm making tomorrow.

Right this moment, life is good.

Knit and crochet along to melt the ICE!

"A community-focused make along centered on solidarity, collective action, and craft as we knit the Melt the ICE Hat pattern by YarnCultMN, a Minnesota-based designer.

In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute. As purveyors of traditional craft, let's revisit this design together in a supportive, community-oriented space.

The pattern is sold directly through the website of Needle and Skein, a Minnesota-based yarn store, and all proceeds from the pattern go to immigrant aid agencies.

KAL Schedule:
Starts: Monday, February 9
Ends: Sunday, February 22
Cost:
There is a knit version and a crochet version of this pattern. Both are $5 and all proceeds go to immigrant aid agencies."

Finally finished the body which took absolutely ages.

Since the pressure is off, I'll embellish the sleeves more than I originally intended
