Birthdays & celebrations can feel a bit heavy. But it’s important to focus on joy, creation, absurdity, beauty &kindness.
I saw a poster that said “the role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.”
So happy bday to me and here’s to another year of creating irresistible things.

Drag the toy through the mud. Tear its arms off, shred its feet, drag it through the mud, toss it aside and come back for another bite. Wearing a rainbow bandana and a big ass grin.
Mingus gets it.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this sweater. The standing collar, the violent red, the skeletal re-enforcement, the spinal motif.
It feels like it provides extra strength.
Maybe I need to actually write this one up. Maybe it’s time to try my hand at publishing again…. maybe

I feel like my country just betrayed freedom. I also have this feeling that I had when Roe got overturned.
Stupid, dangerous people just made the entire world more dangerous….and stupid.
My heart hurts. 🌻❤️
Holy fuck, it’s only been 1 month.
My Mom doing her best and sporting a pretty cute hat that she got from my stash of hats!

I seriously thought it was a joke at first…. But no, he is that petty… it’s going to be “Cats” and Lee Greenwood from here on out … ffs 🤦♀️
I hope he is pissed.

Some of my favorite people wearing some of my favorite knits! #knitting
A horrific image of a someone who seems to have his hands tied behind his back. A big cat (the predator kind, not the overfed pet kind) has jumped up at him and is devouring his face. Blood splashes on the floor.
For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard.

Calliope is amped.
New challenge accepted. I can’t even turn it on yet but it’s time for new challenges!
A murderous freckle face! Mingus is an adorable menace.
Ohh this is my own creation. I don’t have a purchased pattern! The yarn is Shelter by Brooklyn Tweed in Klimt.
Yeah, I think I just have to spend time getting to know the platform and I feel like a dinosaur on new technology.
I don’t know about this platform. I’m trying but I just don’t feel connected to it.
But I miss my twitter friends and threads is good but …. It’s just not the same

Sweater no. 18. I love this one. It’s a companion to my Mom’s sweater. This was my own design and I love the collar.

Sweater 17 (I miss labeled the last one) was a test knit for Brooklyn Tweed. Really cool construction and beautiful cables!

Sweater No. 15. It took me 17 days to finished. My Mom loves it and wears it all the time. Few weeks ago she spilled 1/2 a bottle of red wine on it but…… it survived!
