Ah, yes, back when cameraphone photos became filter art on Instagram 🥲 kind of miss the vibe.

A cream handknit baby cardigan is laying flat on a brown leather sofa. The cardigan has four brown wooden buttons along the front.

Last piece before the shower complete! This is the Bear Cub Hooded Cardigan by Mon Petit Violon, knit with Premier Yarns Anti-pill Bamboo Chunky.

A painting of a Mexican American couple, a woman and a man in their 30s to 50s, in front of a red Chevy. The woman holds a bucket with cleaning supplies hanging off of it, and the man holds a garden hoe in the same way the pitchfork is held in the original 1930 painting American Gothic. They hold themselves with a sense of dignity.

If you've seen this piece before, "The New American Gothic" by Criselda Vasquez,

Then heartbreakingly, I have to inform you that—according to Vasquez's Instagram as of 4/03/26—Vasquez's father has been taken by ICE.

GoFundMe below to help financially support their family.

A small black cat stands on a softly textured landscape with a gradient sky shifting from deep purple to pink and green near the ground. The cat has wide, round white eyes and holds a small purple flower. Above it, handwritten white text reads: “You’ve already won, because there’s love, and hope, and kindness… and a cat that thinks you’re a very good place to nap.”

Keep Minnesota Housed! Much of the medía has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction. Visit keepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds! #keepMNhoused

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.

Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

People are still being targeted, harassed, and detained, how can you talk like it is over?

Thank you! 🥰

An in progress handknit shawl is shown knitted in yarn with shades of red and beige. It is laying flat on a gray carpet.

Finally finished Clue 3 of the #musiKAL. Excited to move on to Clue 4 and hoping I don't have nearly as many ends to weave in from now on because that was a lot 😅

There's always something 😭

I’m glad that Congresswoman Omar is safe.

Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately.

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.

In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute.

After knitting 4 musselburghs, I find at this point it's too difficult to tell what the fit will be and it seems larger than it will be. I would suggest knitting a couple more inches and measuring again. It's beautiful!

New designs!
