Me: "I finally decided on the perfect project for my Anne of Green Gables mini skeins!" Family members: "Mm hm. That's nice." Me: "It's okay, I'll post a picture on Instagram and share it with people who will appreciate it." Basically, I've had these minis from @sixandsevenfiber for a while and was saving them for the perfect project. As soon as I saw the new Seeworthy wrap from @remadebyhand I knew it was the match I had been waiting for. Erin includes information about how much yarn each section of the wrap requires, so I could plan out how to best use the minis.
I've drafted this post in my head dozens of times, and I have waited too long to post it. For anyone who follows me who is not part of the Instagram fiber/knitting community, this may not make sense, but it's still important. I don't get to tell someone how the words and actions of myself and others hurt them, whether it's an accidental step on their toe or a racist attitude. After @ggmadeit wrote that months ago, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Racism is wrong. White supremacy is dangerous. Just because I don't realize that a statement is racist doesn't make it okay. But once I realize it, I need to avoid making similar remarks. I've been listening to the people of color affected by the racism in this community, but I got stuck in listening mode. That was necessary for a time, but it is past time for me to speak. It cannot wait until the words are perfect. We all have different values and opinions, but treating all people, no matter what they look like, with dignity and respect is important and should be a value we all share. I'm not perfect, and I know I'll make mistakes. But I want to work on being anti-racist myself and support people who are as well.
No immediate plans to use my brand new magic knot ball, but putting it together has been a fun way to use yarn without knitting during our crazy Maine heat wave this week. This was my first time making one of these, and it's addicting! Plus it makes me feel good using up every last bit of yarn, even those tiny bits left over from my current scrappy blanket. @abritsknits seeing you hold up yours on youratest episode inspired me to finally make my own. šŸ˜ƒ
Getting ready to cast on a new project with this beautiful yarn from @angoramoose. This colorway is "Peter's Coat", inspired by the jacket Peter Rabbit wears. The yarn is even better because Kayla handprints each label. Everything she does is beautiful. I'll be casting on for @aliciaplums summer shawl mystery knitalong. Today is the first day, so you have lots of time to join if it sounds like fun! #spoondriftmkal
Comfortable and perfect for cool summer days? Yes, please! I test knit the Acacia sweater for @zellieknits (the pattern is now available on Ravelry!) and I absolutely love it! This is my first cropped sweater (and cropped top in general), so I'm looking forward to experimenting with styling options. I never thought of myself as someone who could wear high waisted skirts or cropped sweaters, but seeing so many beautiful women rocking theirs and knitting a pattern like this that is size inclusive and includes modifications for length and short rows to add room in the bust gave me the courage to try. Go check out Lizelle's feed to see some of the other test knits and how others modified their sweaters! #testknit #zellieknits #acaciacrop
I had a lot on my to-do list today, but a headache called for a nap followed by knitting and reading. This test knit for the Peaceful Shawl by @the.little.home.designs was exactly the knit I needed today! #testknit #lhdpeacefulshawl
