Uplifting essay! "Gratitude does not gloss over the darkness. It shines inside it. It honors everyone who refuses to bow. It reminds us that resilience is a choice we make together." ⬇️

Was inspired by a TikTok video to make a giant granny square. Used a size X crochet hook. It was a little bit of a workout. 😂 Just need to block it. #crochet #grannysquare #fiberarts

Note to self: you cannot complete a six day star blanket in six days if you’re trying to make multiple blankets at the same time. 🤦♀️😂🧶 #crochet #handmade #fiberarts #blanket

It’s not just the wrong side, it’s downright evil to be ok with children going hungry.

Been a while since I’ve posted. Here one of the projects I finished recently. A simple lap blanket using the gentle waves stitch. Yarn is KC premium yarn in “ocean sunset”. Sushi the cat approved. 😹 🧶 #crochet #handmade #catsofbluesky #blackcat

Found this neat border pattern that I added to a blanket I made for my uncle. Took some time to do but I liked how it turned out! 🧶

Studies show it only takes 3.5% of the population actively participating to spark political change.
Researchers studying political movements came up with the ‘3.5% rule’ — citing examples, like peaceful protests ending dictatorial regimes in the Philippines, Georgia, Sudan, and Algeria.
