Yesterday's wind tousled my hair! I haven't been out much, but your challenge reminded me to take a selfie. (I was at urgent care, alas, but doing better now.)
My shirt graphic is Circe, drawn by artist Pomegranate Doyle.
I meant to ply today but couldn't get it together. Here is a photo from my Day 1 (June 29); I've got it all spun as singles now. I spin as I watch the TdF stages but take breaks so my hands don't hurt. :)
I don't have a blanket, but here are 2 tempestry panels I made a few years ago, representing the Ft. Pierre National Grasslands, with temperature data 50 years apart.
Oh hi @darthbluesky.bsky.social
This rotund delight and all their p-dog friends and family live next door to the red panda (who was too sleepy today for a photo). 😊😊
Ooh! Susanna Rowson ran a school for young ladies in the 1790s. She used embroidery, in part, to teach geography! Here is a photo of a work by student Sally Dodge in the year 1800 (from the amazing book Girlhood Embroidery, by Betty Ring).
Nice! I have 2 baby sweaters on the needles, 1 finished & waiting for blocking, and 3 in the queue. All of a sudden, so many babies! (I make them for my former students who are expecting/have recently had a baby.) I was using a similar color!
Worst birb photo ever, but a GIANT HAWK (I think Cooper's) sat in our backyard tree for a while this afternoon, in the falling snow. Just beautiful.
Happy afternoon/evening, everyone.
Oops, my bad, it was the Vuelta a Espana; Jesus Herrada after winning Stage 11. Will see if I can attach a screenshot.

Ships! One of my favorite memories: when my Dad took me & my sister to see the tall ships in Baltimore Harbor in July 1976, in celebration of the bicentennial. I remember when all the sailors went out onto the yards to open the sails; what a sight!

Apparently late night bluesky was ship posting. This is The Elissa. It's docked in Galveston when it's not sailing. My husband and I got married on it.
Not a pet, but one of the horses I like to say hello to (they live at the county fairgrounds near my house). They liked my wee drum. Also, it helps me to know you're taking care of sheep; I'm a knitter who is thankful for shepherds, regardless of wool production.
