She’d probably make a good president of the organization. She’d have the best interests of the athletes in mind and knows the sport. She may not have the experience of running a vast organization but based on what those who had that experience did while in power, that’s probably for the best.

That is the best description of Vogue Knitting. There’s at least one WTF project in every issue.

I would give my left nut to have that original Nokia brick back. Those fuckers were good phones.

I have to say, since Ravelry took off I haven’t bought a knitting magazine. I always found that you might get one or two decent patterns, and a lot of nonsense. So many shapeless sweaters! So many novelty yarns!

I enjoy both, to be fair, but Vogue tends towards patterns that are heavier on fussy and counterintuitive construction techniques. Interweave is less *fashion* but more focused on good intuitive design, AND they don’t keep trying to make mosaic knitting happen every two years.

Doris Day. Goddam. She’s awesome.

JJ and Luke Cage have been my Netflix Marvel jams. As someone who read both volumes of the comic, she’s a character I’ve always liked and she’s represented really well in this series. Krysten Ritter really nails it and Trish is fantastic.

Heh. It was originally part of the Conde Nast empire way back in the 1930s, but now it’s owned by a company that makes sewing patterns.

She is kind of strange in how all her roles are similar but its the small adjustments she makes that make them so unique to one another.

Like for Chloe in The B in Apt. 23 she was 100% sardonic and genuine to herself, however you could tell it came from a place of confidence.

While with Jessica she acts very much the…

There was some horror/thriller/exorcist-type movie that came out, I dunno, probably 15-20 years ago now, where a calmly knitting grandmother gets possessed or something and stabs a guy in the eyeballs with her metal needles. I was still in my deeply religious phase at the time and took the demon-possession part of the…

Wait?!? Vogue Knitting is a thing?

My mother (bless her) tried to teach me to knit MULTIPLE times throughout my childhood, and it never stuck. Three years ago, I asked her to teach me again and somehow, she agreed. We got some chunky yarn and a pair of bamboo needles, and it finally clicked. I now love to knit, though I am not currently able to knit in…

Oh god this is why I hate trying to teach people how to knit. But Krysten Ritter is my everything so ofc she makes it funny.

She joins generations of actresses (and quite a few actors) who knit on film sets. A few choice examples of the legacy she’s maintaining...

Even her novel is readable. Damn her.

The thing I love most about her is that she plays all these intensely confident, bold characters, then goes on the talk-show circuit wearing all these ridiculous/amazing vintage/avant-garde outfits, then proceeds to just demonstrate how she is an awkward, introverted homebody who likes to stay home, read, and knit.

To be fair, it’s not like Interweave had her on the cover. But as a knitter, I am SO FUCKING PUMPED that she’s a total knitting stan. It IS cool! (Or rather, very warm, because I have this bomb fucking Fair Isle socks).

I had a shittastic week at work thanks to men. I wish they were releasing Season 2 today so I could pour myself some hard liquor and watch her kick ass.

She seems, by all accounts, to be one of those people who has talent, got lucky, and doesn’t take for granted her position. I dig her.

I love everything she has done, including that dog rug.
