More shitty knitting, less bad news in my ears

I listen to NPR's Morning Edition each morning while I knit. I'm an early riser, and I like to knit in front of my happy light while I listen to the radio and sip my tea between rows.

This morning I woke to the news that Charlie Rose stands accused by at least 8 women of sexual misconduct. I hope what people are getting is that for every famous person accused, there are a bazillion un-famous people who have committed these same crimes. Yes, you heard me right, crimes.

Fucking insanity - literally.

As I process the bullshit I've endured as a woman in this world, and the more stories I hear from women who are doing the same, I frequently find myself needing to take a step back.

Today, I had to turn the radio off. Knit in silence. Breathe. Un-clench.

Here's the latest completed project alongside my new one. I'm using a new stitch called Moss Stitch. It's a variation of Seed Stitch. I think it's swell.
