Hello #Knitterati ~ FINALLY coming out of a months-long funk involving COVID, RSV, long hospital stays, and ginormous sleep, eg 15 hours a night... Yikes!
Back at this #MinglingDaisies shawl, #StephenWest #WestKnits.
So far, easy-ish with 3 pattern bands - mingling daisies, open lattice, broken rib. Will probably add extra band of all 3, for more length in back.
In Anzula Lana, a dreamy merino-silk-yak blend.

@npub1alg…nz6y Interesting thanks! And yes, this looks just like the warm gray base peeking out from underneath that pink dye. Next up, I try camel! Have you ever given that a try?

2024-02-13 04:45:46

Ooh-la-la Fiber Folks, this yarn is a revelation! Anzula's hand-dyed Lana - merino, silk and yak. Yak!
It's like butter. And the strength! I cannot break the yarn with my bare hands, even though it's just fingering weight.
Re color - it looks to be dyed on a distinctly gray base. Don't know about other shades in Lana line.

4 am in the ER, still awake but now at least put in a *slightly* more comfortable bed. Awaiting transfer to room as I've been admitted, but that won't happen until tomorrow (later today) sometime.Awaiting CPAP so I have a shot at falling asleep for a few hours. Still struggling to breath but not as bad. Lordy.

This is the tragic bullshit they are serving in this "long term care facility" aka nursing home... SLOP.
I mean seriously, people. Come on. I guarantee that yogurt is frozen on bottom half, which actually gives me comfort because I know it's not rotten. Watermelon "flavored" juice.
The fruit cup? Is actually applesauce. Again a weird relief because not rotten. That roll ad nauseum every tray? Inedible.

@npub1hs4…k8w2 I'm still dealing with COVID brain and I'm not sure I properly thanked you for the 'tume capsule" of 1970s yarns, which I found to be a quite exciting palette, actually! I think I'm going to make a baby set with it, a hat and tiny baby mittens and a onesie for the very first great grandchild in our family, little Hudson. Thank you so very much, I'm enjoying eyeballing it and missing on what exactly to create with it. Thank you thank you thank you!!!🥰🙏💞

@npub1ecp…59pq Hi Shannon your profile page banner is brilliant, I love it! And thank you so much for posting Alt text for it on your profile page. I wish we could do "Alt" descri0tors on profile art, bc people are really going town there in Mastodon.

🧶🧶 HELP NEEDED! 🧶🧶
Hi Knitterati! Requesting your help in selecting a yarn for sweater for my Mom...
She just turned 90, still very active. She picked out this great pattern. Wants a deep, warm red, which she wears well.
Calls for ~2,000 yards, fingering weight. Probably non-superwash? (But not critical.) Shown in 100% merino, worsted ply.
Daily, she wears turtleneck + pullover. Pix of Kara and my Mom follow!

@npub12ez…uyf6 No, I don't think so... I think we are looking at the combined arrogance and stupidity of thinking you're always right, all the time, no exceptions. That aaabsolutism is actually a human defect - the inability to perceive nuuance, and the inability to put oneself in the shoes of another. This is a very, very damaged man. IMHO.

@npub18mp…jsql I know, right? But I searched West shawl patterns (6 pages) and it's not there.

PS: At least I don't think it is a WestKnits pattern, looked through his shawls on Ravelry and could not find it there. ☹️

🧶 ID HELP! 🧶
Good evening, Knitterati friends... Does anyone recognize this shawl pattern?
I saved it in my pix, but neglected to notate source. It's not Stephen West, and I didn't get anything from Google Image search.
Saved it last May, if that helps anything ping. Hoping one of you all will recognize it. Thank you! 🙏🧶💞

@npub1peq…gmel Yup. I live out west now, and have found that us folks from the NY-NJ area plus Boston are considered pushy, rude, overly blunt.

2023-10-24 03:12:40

Maybe it's bc I'm from NY-NJ area, or bc my dad was South Bronx, but I so understand and relate to Chris Cuomo's hand-talking skills.
The hands where I come from are the punctuators, clarifiers, emphasizers, highlighters, comparers, and providers of secondary dialog, captions, and footnotes.
No mid-west, nuanced WASPS for us hand-talking blunt speakers of Jewish- and Italian-American heritage!

🔥 SCORE! 🔥 Well well well, look who got the exclusive! #NewsNation.
It's very first interview with husband/father of two women in #Gaza. Judith and Natalie, American citizens, were visiting a kibbutz in #Israel.
I might check in on Cuomo over here, it's where he went after @npub1fee…94u9 fired him.

Here we go, completed the first section of mosaic on Stephen West's Mosaic Musings shawl. Finally!
Spent most of the week knitting, tearing out, knitting again, switching needles, switching projects, more knitting and unknitting. So POW! Finally hitting on all cylinders.
Not sure about proceeding with the #Geogradient shawl MKAL, I'm having a hard time getting back in the swing of things. We'll see!

Hello Knitterati... Have any of you tried "double knitting" anything? This pattern seems like THE place to learn! 🧶🧶
Check out Genesis, a pretty darn magnificent double-knit shawl from Nathan Taylor. He provides 40+ pages of instructions plus videos. Kind of like taking a class.
I wondered how heavy Genesis is. I did the maths and it's about 6 pounds... which is not nothin'. Fingering weight yarn, many yards.
