A knitted scarf in garter stitch laid flat on carpet. The fabric changes between shades of blue and purple. Below the scarf is Susheen the sushi eating Pusheen plush lying on his back for size comparison.

The Susheen cat plush has the scarf wrapped around him like nori seaweed wraps around sushi.

I never posted my finished garter stitch scarf on Bluesky, but here it is! I finished it last November in time for this past winter.

Not as cold but still cold-ish where I'm at but definitely a dreary kind of cloudy day. My day at work wasn't dreary though.

Congratulations! Negative splits are always good.

Trump now says he didn’t personally post the racist video and that it was done by a staffer. That raises serious questions. If a staffer handled this post, it’s fair to ask which other public statements or posts are actually coming directly from him versus someone on his team.

Congratulations!

A little encouragement spotted in the Severna Park Library today. Thank you to whoever left it to brighten our day!

Name brand recognition or some bull. Though maybe the sauce is good, but I still think it’s something nebulous like reputation.

Very. I need to do it though. Not all of my stuff brings joy and I could do with less clutter. Multiple small efforts DO add up to big results.

Effective immediately: Heard Island will be canceling our contract with Spacex for ALL future space travel. Dr. Amelia Sealhart and CPT Charles Icebergh will be leading our charge to adapt all flightless birds to flight capability. This will supplement our already extensive Albatross Space Force

Breaking: Cory Booker has officially delivered the longest Senate floor speech in US history, surpassing Strom Thurmond’s filibuster against the Civil Rights Act.

And there it is. Senator Cory Booker makes history-- the longest standing filibuster in US history at 24 hours 19 minutes and counting.

Good trouble.

This is the best use of 2 minutes and 15 seconds of your time today! Please watch it yourself and then share it. 💗

A swatch of stockinette stitch knitting on a mattress cover. The yarn used is a mix of blue, red, and yellow. The tails are not tucked into the swatch and the bind-off squeezes the top of the swatch.

Here’s my recent distraction from the garter stitch scarf. A small sample of stockinette stitches. I’m not happy with how the bind-off is not the same length as the rest of the swatch.

Metro will always help you get to the finish line! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️Congrats to all the Rock’n’Roll Half Marathon runners! Thank you for riding with us.

I saw one of my high school friends post on her knitting instagram a finished blouse recently. I was impressed by her effort.

I should be focusing on knitting my first scarf but I’m distracting myself by practicing stockinette stitch on a different pair of needles and a different ball of yarn.

Trump is using the White House to make a commercial for the richest man in the world while Americans’ 401ks are plummeting.

Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning an “aggressive” reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs from the sprawling agency.

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong.

Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

Trump claims he “brought free speech back” after removing a man from exercising his free speech.

#StateOfTheUnion

"The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over," Trump says, as Elon looks on from the gallery.

Throwing an elderly black man out of the SOTU is a great look guys.

Well done.

Oh, now we're dragging people out of the SOTU.

Democrats, your job is not to be quieter because Al Green got dragged out. It's your job to get LOUDER.

Trump is right now railing against inflation... while his own policies and tariffs send the costs of everyday goods skyrocketing even *without* the global phenomenon of inflation.

Little Jimmy seems to have forgotten how to be quiet when the grownup (President Zelenskyy) is speaking. Little Donny and Little Mikey could also do better with how they speak to President Zelenskyy.
