What’s your act of #resistance? Share below for inspiration! I’ll start: I keep a pile of postcards on my desk and I jot one off to NJ elected officials when something in the news makes my blood boil.

"After the extraordinary pushback on President Donald J. Trump’s bizarre demand for Greenland, he has responded with what economist Paul Krugman called “a howl of frustration on the part of a mad dictator who has just realized that he can’t send in the Marines.

Knitting, crochet, fiber arts—art has always been political. If you want to learn more about what goes into the wool we work with, we’re starting a book club on Discord next month: discord.gg/VCyg7ejqj

Making progress on the #ghostintheorchardvest by @theacolman. I’m using local Romney wool (available on our website!) with a strand of silk lace weight yarn from Hedgehog Fibers from my stash for a subtle hint of color.

An orange sweater with “local” written on it is surrounded by text stating “Rhinebeck Sweaters for Good.” Bold text surrounding the graphic states Local Yarn Sold Here.
I started Two River Fiber with the aim of offering yarns from smaller, local farms. Initial offerings were all natural colored wools and we’ll be expanding with more colors and some good kits for crafters for the holidays. Stay tuned, support small farms, and knit local—including for Rhinebeck!

Never thought I would get such glee from finding those little bits of hay in farm yarn and roving. It’s like a little window into life of the animal behind the fiber.
If the Dude were a sheep, he might be this guy.
New Jersey Sheep and Wool was fantastic! Definitely in my happy place hanging with these guys and gals and all the amazing fiber artists and producers.

Oops it’s been a minute!
Here’s the #pressedflowerskerchief I knit on vacation with yarn from last year’s trip to Edinburgh
Truly one of the grosser quotes to come out of this administration, and he has a lot of competition.
I think my girls would be so spooked by whoever was wearing the sweater, but they do look adorable!🐓
#knittersofbluesky I am headed to #tokyo and #kyoto! Please share your favorite yarn stores #lys so I can pick up some lovely yarn souvenirs.
Getting closer! Comparing size to one of my favorite fits. #showmeyourknits #knitting #handmade #handspun

Making progress on the #handsounyarn #everydaysweater. Definitely going to be playing yarn chicken 🧶 🐔 with the sleeves. It may end up a short sleeved piece out of necessity!
More polite than I would have been if they showed up at my door.
Casting on an #everydaysweater from @dreareneeknits.bsky.social with my #handspunyarn. It was so fun spinning the Nest Fibers Valentine’s kit fibers together into 3-ply skeins.
Oh thanks! It’s a second hand top from Ace&Jig.
#Omhu scarf progress: moved on to the garter stitch section. The end is in sight! Love when you finally cross the threshold to the decrease sections.
