And just like that, my baby is seven years old. 🎂 My littlest guy with the biggest imagination, the sweetest loving heart, and the most terrifying adventurous spirit. 🎂 You haven’t lived until you’ve experienced a Rex snuggle; he is so earnest and articulate that there’s no question as to where you stand with him. 🎂 Rex came into the world the way that he lives every day: at top speed and volume. I wouldn’t change a single thing about him. 🎂 Someone asked me what I think he’s going to be when he grows up: my prediction this year is a filmmaker/director. 🎂 I love you a million, billion, Rex. Happy birthday. 🎂 [Image Description: The cutest multiracial boy in the world with the sparkliest brown eyes and flowing brown hair, smiles gap-toothily into the camera, with his arms up in the air.

This is Genevieve, and I am here with a message: Swatching is NOT as hard as it seems. I may be only ten, and the youngest Knitmore, but I finished this swatch in two days with very little help. 🐭 This is a swatch for my first sweater. The yarn was a gift from Uncle @gregorychrysler. 🐭 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 #BIPOCMaker #KnittersOfInstagram #KidsWhoKnit #KnitmoregirlsPodcast#ProjectSweaterChest #handknit #couture #Bespoke 🐭 Image description : A small swatch in bright blue and neon yellow, worked in the round, sits on a black background, dime for scale. to line break

I’m feeling owned by my possessions at the moment, which is part of why I’m finishing such well-aged UFOs. 🐙 This project originally hit a wall because there are SO MANY faux cables. After doing the bobbles on my Bobbie Top with a crochet hook, I had a lightbulb moment: I could put a Tunisian crochet hook on one end of a circular needle, and a regular knitting needle on the other. 🐙 (I’m reasonably certain that @SkacelKnitting made something like this, circa 2000.) 🐙 Pattern: Spectral by Debbi Stone, Yarn: Cephalopod Yarns Skinny Bugga! 🐙 #bipocknitters #knitting #BIPOCMaker #KnittersOfInstagram #IndieDyersOfInstagram #KnitmoregirlsPodcast #ProjectSweaterChest #handknit #couture #Bespoke #CacheDash2022 #TeamCuteknitter #BeatBostonJen 🐙 [Image Description: A twisted stitch cowl knit in a purple gradient, looped around an @ErinLaneBags project bag.]

We’re back home from the ̶g̶e̶r̶m̶i̶e̶s̶t̶ happiest place on earth. 🏰 It was the kids’ first time, and they had a blast. We rode the rides, ate the food, and the kids were exposed to Verne, the grumpy old man who lives in my head. He told them all about the evils of merchandising; and that’s why we do ONE special thing each. 🏰 You can see our masks; unfortunately, we only saw about a dozen other folx wearing them. So, we’re quarantining for a few days to make sure we don’t spread any contagious souvenirs that we may have picked up. 🏰 #Disney #Disneyland 🏰 [Image Description: from left to right: The cutest multiracial boy in the world with the sparkly eyes brown eyes and flowing locks; a stunning multiracial little girl with olive skin, long dark hair, glasses, and the most devious dimples you’ve ever seen; a striking, freckled and fair-skinned Iranian American woman with bright turquoise hair; and a tall, bald, white man with a greying Van Dyke beard.
