All things knitting! ๐Ÿงถ I create patterns, knit & dye yarn. My day job is scientist and professor - hence the DNA mittens I designed and knit. I advise my college knit/crochet club. Find my designs on Ravelry: https://ravel.me/escher-checker-blocks-scarf

Neck warmer knit in progress. And yes, knitting is absolutely political because you canโ€™t knit if ICE murders you.

Knit for democracy. A reminder that while I often post about knitting, knitting is absolutely political because you canโ€™t knit if ICE murders you.

Less than 1% of Epstein files have been released. Where are the remaining 99%? The regime trying so hard to distract us while unlawfully withholding files that were ordered to be released weeks ago. Americans can focus on more than one issue at a time. Release #EpsteinFiles & hereโ€™s my latest knit ๐Ÿงถ

Knit-in at the peaceful Portland protest. Thereโ€™s mutual aid hotdog stand & lots of folks holding placards on each corner. As ICE vehicles enter & exit the crowd would holler โ€œQuit your job!โ€.

To our neighbors who are being kidnapped and terrorized by ICE I say, No estรกs solo, you are not alone.๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ ๐Ÿงถ

#WIPWednesday Breaking out the crochet hook to fix my neckline. Only 20 more rows to redo! It probably would have been quicker to unravel from the top, but I didnโ€™t want to risk messing up my short rows or lace ๐Ÿงถ #knitsky #knit #crochet

Woohoo for #WIPwednesday Whatโ€™s your vote? I canโ€™t decide between the plum vs sea foam for the i-cord neck, sleeves, and waist edging. This will eventually be a โ€œBreezy Teeโ€ using local hand dyed wool from the Acorn Street Shop in Seattle. ๐Ÿงถ
