Yep! I'm shamelessly knitting all the same socks I see on bluesky 😂

A pair of feet wearing purple, pink, and white zigzag socks. The ground beneath them is mossy and there's a frothy latte in the background.

Socks. Coffee. Moss. #sockKnitting #knitsky 🧶

Oh absolutely, a faster charging 40kWh battery would make this trip much easier. And range anxiety isn't a problem with proper infrastructure. (Which we don't have yet, but it's getting better.)

A silver car plugged in to a silver charging tower in front of an empty ice rink parking lot.

We spent 40min on the level 2 charger, that's how long it took to get a burger at Al's Pizza Place. Then we drove 15min to a different fast charger. This isn't perfect if you've got to keep a schedule. But it's getting less frequent with more charging locations. #EVcar #driveElectric #electricCar

A small tower with two mid level charging cables.

Just 1.5miles down the road, we're charging at the town library while we walk to a pizza place. The mid level charger is slow so we'll only stop long enough to get the range to reach the next fast charger. #EVcar #driveElectric #electricCar

A tall white charging tower with just one connector.

I use a user-updated app to track chargers from lots of different brands. Which is great until something isn't updated. I need a charge but all 4 towers are the wrong plug type. #EVcar #driveElectric #electricCar

A graph of electric draw over time. The top indicates 24kWh or about 91miles have been added to my battery. It took 56 minutes and cost $13.76

Fast charging is by far the most expensive option for an EV. But how much does it cost to go 91miles in your car? #EVcar #electricCar #driveElectric

A silver car parked nose first in front of a bright orange charging tower. The heavy cable of a fast charger is plugged in.

First charging stop is 2hrs and 94miles in to our trip. There are a lot of mountains between home and this rest stop so my battery was down to 7% but I've done this route many times. One car plugged in but the other charger open. #electricCar #EVcar #driveElectric

We're driving my old #electricCar from North VT to South MA because - have you seen the price of gas?! Come along for the ride! My car has a small battery at 40kWh, degradation, and studded snow tires. So we're playing this game on the hard setting. #EVcar #roadTrip #driveElectric

I secretly like the April snow. But then summer is my least favorite season so there's no need to rush in.

Seems like you should put up one of those fruit feeders so you get more oriole visits!

It's the most cheerful! And hopefully soon it can be paired with crocuses!

A twisted rib sock cuff on DPNs and its ball of yarn sit in the foreground. Yarn is flamingo pink, daffodil yellow, rosey orange, sky blue, an even brighter pink, and kelly green. The background is out of focus in the tan, browns, and olive greens of an overwintered field.

When it's springtime, but the entire valley was covered in snow three days ago - I pick the most obnoxiously bright sock yarn in my stash! (yarn from knit.spin.farm of course) 🧶 #knitsky #sockKnitting

A pair of multicolored hand knit socks with wedge shaped colors on the legs and self stripping feet. The colors are grape, brown, blue, tan, and orange.

First socks of the year! The wedges in the cuffs are all worked with short rows. Then I left the self stripping yarn alone for the feet. It's a twist on a very old pattern.

Both are so good! And so different!

A lidded white box with gold speckles rests on a wood table. There's a hole cut in the lid for two watch chargers and two more holes cut in the side with 2 USB chargers sticking out of each.

A white box with the lid lifted so you can see inside containers a plug bar, 4 USB converter plugs and a whole bunch of charging cords. The last several inches of each cord pokes through a hole to make it accessible from the outside.

We have a "no tech in the bedrooms" rule. I've wanted a cool wood bread box, jewelry box, cigar box, something to hide them in. But today I decided a cheap cardboard box is better than looking at that mess any longer. #thisIsKindaLikeCrafting

Embroidered orange, yellow, and pink flowers connected by vines and decorated with leaves on a pink fabric. The lower part of the embroidery is still on the hoop. The embroidery is just lazy daisies, french knots, and fishbone leaves.

I put a scrap of red jersey fabric behind the shirt to give me something to embroider on and you can still see the red peaking through in places.

"In progress" photo shows the big hole Windsor stitched up herself. I left her work in place and just ran a vine stem along it.

Windsor's shirt got ripped while playing. She attempted to stitch it up herself first, then asked for help.
I'd like to note that I have no idea where she got the needle or thread. My children are becoming people who just know how to fix things! #embroidery #visibleMending

I love those details that tie the whole idea together and back to the original!

Share away! 💜✊🏼

Thank YOU for the awesome art!

Five yard flags hang in the eves of a purple porch. The two in the back read Black Lives Matter and Peace. Two in the front read End Gun Violence and Protect Trans Kids. The newest one has no text but depicts a hermit thrush in the shape of the resistance symbol from Star Wars.

I've added a new flag to my collection. The resistance hermit thrush is by @twinkletaters.bsky.social #resist #vermontByVermonters

A crochet blanket with wide gray blue stripes and narrow dark purple stripes rests on the dashboard of a car. There are purple tassels draped over the edge.

See this beautiful crochet? It's not mine, Owen made me a lap blanket for when I'm cold in the car. I highly recommend a thoughtful, crafty guy. #crochet 🧶 #notMyWork

I said make sure it's an action. I did not claim the 3 actions listed are the only ones which count. I'm well aware of the nuances but also was making a social media post, not writing an essay. 💜 Everyone's effort counts.

If you knit a red hat and wear it to a protest, a food distribution event, or while being a public observer then great! If you knit red hats and think that's all you need to do then it's performative. Actions matter. #resist #fuckIce #fightFascism #knitsky 🧶

WWII nurses wore red lipstick on the battlefield. In 2021 citizens protested in the streets wearing pink hats.
It's not lipstick or the hat that makes a protest. It's the ACTION. Wearing a pink suit does nothing unless you're physically between Al Green and security. #resist #resistFascism #protest

"you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means."

A photo of green snowblower throwing snow with the bottom half of the frame entirely white snow. Black text over the white snow spells out the obscenity: fuck ice.

I think it should be obvious, but in case you haven't picked up on my position. #fuckIce #vermontByVermonters #resist

It's been so long since I've knit jaywalkers! I should do this again.

A space-age looking paper coffee cup - it's ALL paper and it has a fold over top which forms a swoop into a sippy top.

Guys! GuysGUYSguysGuysGuys!

Plastic free, 100% recyclable coffee cup. I demand everyone switch immediately. Until they do I will buy all my coffees from Skinny Pancake. #plasticFree #vermontByVermonters #coffeeToGo #skinnyPancake

In a year that already has too much bad news, my partner Owen has been diagnosed with Leukemia. Putting this here because not-sharing wouldn't be telling my whole story. But please don't feel the need to donate. We're lucky to be well supported.
