Here's what's up today. I've sent away for my cards, which I will leave around in places like the library, and give to friends.
At home, the Sock 'n Glove Ministry continues, probably needed all the more now
This yarn is interesting. It's braided rather than plied, and creates a lovely warm springy fabric, good for socks. After this pair, I have enough yarn to double the threads and knit gloves.
It's friendly to knit, a contrast to that brilliantly colored yarn I've been using, which fights every step. It looks lovely when done but I don't look forward to knitting it.
However it's what I was issued with, so I feel I need to use it. The socks have certainly been well received, so there's that.
This yarn is much more restful. Right now there's enough fighting without having your yarn joining in.
Happy day everyone, looking forward to tomorrow's Misfits, because there's an interesting tofu idea I plan on after the halibut is gone, along with the Spanish Fork potato croquettes.
Meanwhile Hamish Macbeth is still going.
We can keep going too, and thank you everyone who is doing their bit of resisting the current evil administration, even though it's uncomfortable to do it.
We need to be able to look back in future years, no matter how it goes, proud of what we did to fight back.
Your very quick knitting socks. And gloves.
ReplyDeleteI’m very sure they will be gratefully accepted
Gloves are quick, but I've been slower with socks after being detoured onto the granny square lapghan. They seem to be well received.
DeleteI love the idea of that springy yarn.
ReplyDeleteIt's got a nice hand, i.e. feel to it.
DeleteI love the idea of fighting your yarn!
ReplyDeleteIt's annoying in practice, a little jolt at every stitch!
DeleteMultiliingual "Know Your Rights" cards -- great idea and action!
ReplyDeleteVital to use many languages. And it's an easy action.
DeleteSnoopy has the idea! Embrace it!
ReplyDeleteYes to that, even the hard parts.
DeleteIf any of us are wondering who the best organizations to donate to are, ACLU and Planned Parenthood come immediately to my mind.
ReplyDeleteYes to both. They do vital work.
DeleteThank you for more useful info. I also saw more on the Feb. 28th economic boycott on Joanne's blog, https://cuponthebus.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on joining that.
Joanne's a follower and participant here. Everyone can do something!
DeleteI like the look of the yarn. Another interesting meal is coming our way. I do enjoy your cooking excursions.
ReplyDeleteI like to do interesting food so as to maintain my interest. It's too easy, old and solo, to slip into tea and toast. I'm determined to do better.
DeleteEvery day. Worse and worse. Ukraine -- breaking my heart.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping NATO comes through for Ukraine. They have a lot at stake.
DeleteThey count on people not knowing their rights so those cards are a good thing.
ReplyDeleteNice socks that will keep someone warm - and I think you're right that the need is greater now than ever before and bound to get worse unless something changes.
I think you can always count on hardship for the poorest.
