I wrote about some of my dissertation research on the Red Cross knitting program for the Center for Knit and Crochet's blog! Go read it and come back and tweet me about it! #knittingresearch

CKC member Jennifer Lindsay talks about Digital Strategies for Preserving and Sharing Our Knitting/Crochet Histories, March 15, 2 pm, at Textiles from Home, a free, week-long, online celebration hosted by The Center for Design and Material Culture at UWisconsin-Madison, @uw_cdmc

@KilravockRose It sounds like he's related to @M_Cederstrom

I keep reading that babies naturally stop eating when they are full. Mine eats until he is literally sick, usually all over the least convenient thing to wash. I conclude that either the Internet cannot be trusted, or he is not actually a baby.

@chase_prairie No! Home for the duration! I didn't see this until just now, but the one person from our office who was going to go in for a bit in the afternoon stayed home.

@KilravockRose Cats

In at least some variants of Sleeping Beauty, fairies show up at the baptism to bestow one trait or quality each on the child. If you were a fairy, what single thing would you wish for a new baby?

120 tribal leaders to send Biden letter urging him to appoint a Native person to his cabinet—in what would be the first in history. Many are looking at @Deb4CongressNM to be the Secretary of the Interior. huffpost.com/entry/deb-haal…

We searched "mums" in CKC's digital archive, bc chrysanthemum is November's birth flower. Mother Annie knits & daughter Abby reads, in this parlor photo from c. 1890. Where's "mums" in that? Read this whole thread to find it, and enjoy the quirks of searching digital archives.

We did it, @JoeBiden.

@kerrabecca @KilravockRose Me too actually. I might have to just... get one. I would also crush a garbage plate

@KilravockRose @echoknits I would crush a butter burger right now

I feel like you have to know what Rocky Mountain oysters are to know why they’re weird. Conversely, “butter burger” sounds grosser than it is. @echoknits: garbage plate #Foodways

@KilravockRose @M_Cederstrom You were the alibi. Somehow? It got a little vague and then suddenly we were walking in the rain to get my glasses fixed

@echoknits @M_Cederstrom Well at least it’s not on me. (Or IS it...?!? *ominous music*)

@KilravockRose @M_Cederstrom To be clear, it was @M_Cederstrom’s fault that the bride ran away, but my subconscious wasn’t clear on what he’d done.

@KilravockRose @M_Cederstrom It was more of a runaway bride situation, which made it extra confusing

It's Cousins Day, and here's Florence Nightingale's cousin teaching children to knit, presumably for the Red Cross, in Madison Square Park, NY, c. 1917-18. The archive doesn't say what her name was. Dear Reader, can you find her name for us? Do you have a story about...

Black Lives Matter. We, the American Folklore Society and our undersigned partners listed below, unequivocally condemn racism in our communities and institutions, and we call for deep listening and action against race-based injustice. afsnet.org/news/511344/Th…

@M_Cederstrom Please know that my vote (magical) counts for two, since I asked Nick and he concurred.

@M_Cederstrom It was going to be a podcast where he explained the news.

@M_Cederstrom Early on Nick was really thinking of starting a podcast. I was concerned.

@M_Cederstrom Thank you!! (Have a cat in thanks also)

@M_Cederstrom Ugh, I'm not keeping up with things. Do you know if there are minutes from this anywhere?
