#SustainabilityIsHard example 7. Even if I have the skillset to repair an item, it is built in a way that makes repairs so difficult it's not worth my effort. Such as the pictured vacuum that needs a new battery, but there is not a single screw driver in this house that can reach all the screws.

At Library 39 I learned why libraries are dangerous:

“The library is dangerous, full
Of answers. If you go inside,
You may not come out
The same person who went in.”

Double #knitting

…and since I mentioned double knitting yesterday, here’s a video showing how to do it 🎥🧶

Knit a stitch on the front layer with one colour and purl a stitch on the back layer with the other. For colourwork, switch colours. Make sure the strands stay between the two layers.

🧶 Knitting is radical—it defies haste, values skill, and honors tradition in a world that craves the disposable. Every stitch is an act of care, every row a quiet defiance against the rush. Craft with purpose, create with intention. ✨ #UplandFiberCo #LGBTQCrafters #MenKnitToo #MindfulMaking

February reading wrapup! Significantly less books than last month because I fell down a knitting youtube hyperfixation which cut into my audiobook time. But I found a new favorite with the novella The Past Is Red.

#SustainabilityIsHard Ex 6: Our best intentions can be exploited by someone else in a way that is counterproductive to our goals. I'm thinking of a post on this platform that was curating a list of books in response to the current US political climate, and then had an Amazon link for each book.
