Everyone knows that the first reason for learning another language is to learn how to say bad words. (Sorry, Mom.) The second reason, is, of course, so you can make jokes in multiple languages, as seen in the picture. The third one is to communicate with other people. [If you don’t speak Spanish yet, “No hay” means “There is no”.] #mulitilingual #DadJokes #Polyglot to line break

Now everyone will know when I have a good idea. 🌲 [Pattern: Alaska hat with Sasquatch chart added (I didn’t make it), green yarn: @NeighborhoodFiberCo Studio Sock, Sasquatch: leftovers from a hat I finished over the summer.] 🌲 The wearable LEDs are from @browndoggadgets. It was my first time setting up a circuit, and balancing the technical aspects with the fabric of the hat was challenging, but so worth it because this is SO COOL. (They’re also washable if you take the battery out; the conductive thread won’t hold up to a lot of washing, just fyi.) 🌲 You can hear all about this project, and all the others on The Knitmore Girls Podcast, available on all of your favorite audio platforms. 🌲 #bipocknitters #knitting #knittersofinstagram #handdyedyarn #knitmoregirlspodcast #IndieDyers #IndieDyersofInstagram #Bespoke #knit #FairIsleKnitting #Colorwork #Sasquatch #AlaskaHat #Bigfoot #Cryptozoology #WearableCircuits #BrownDogGadgets to line break

Genevieve Danger, first of her name, Devourer of Books, Style Sophisticate, Devious Dimpler, Fearsome Firebrand. Brilliance embodied. Wrangler of wandering mothers, Evil Idea Generator, Responsible Revolutionary, Mathematical Maven. 🎂 She wants to be a forensic scientist, a writer, and a teacher. She is growing up in a world where nobody has ever said that girls can’t be scientists, mathematics, or anything else they darn well please, and it makes my heart soar. 🎂 She is remarkable and self-aware. She is sharp, funny, observant, and a critical thinker. She is beautiful and fierce. She is articulate and effortlessly code-switches between environments. (Her fourth grade teacher pointed this out to me, and now I see it all the time.) 🎂 Even if she doesn’t like you, she’ll still be polite to you; but you’ll definitely know she doesn’t like you. 🎂 This week, we celebrated her eleventh birthday. There was family, Zachary’s pizza, gifts, and mochi cake. Her plan, our execution, naturally. 🎂 [Image Description: . A stunning little girl with an olive complexion, glasses, and long dark brown hair smiles purses her lips in anticipation of blowing out the candles on the slice of mochi cake in front of her.] to line break

Wait- what’s that in the trees?! 🌲 Mom: You can’t have just one! They need a mate! 🌲 (She just read @VickiLewisThompson’s “Werewolf in the North Woods”, which I recommended. Her romance novels are - HANDS DOWN- my favorites.) 🌲 (The next one will have a mate. This Sasquatch is self-partnered.) 🌲 [Pattern: Alaska hat with Sasquatch chart added (I didn’t make it), green yarn: @NeighborhoodFiberCo Studio Sock, Sasquatch: leftovers from a hat I finished over the summer.] 🌲 You can hear all about this project, and all the others on The Knitmore Girls Podcast, available on all of your favorite audio platforms. 🌲 #bipocknitters #knitting #knittersofinstagram #handdyedyarn #knitmoregirlspodcast #IndieDyers #IndieDyersofInstagram #Bespoke #knit #FairIsleKnitting #Colorwork #Sasquatch #AlaskaHat #Bigfoot #Cryptozoology #VickiLewisThompson 🌲 [Image description: a hat with different sized fir trees photographed at an angle, with what appears to be a Sasquatch in the background.
