✨ Can AI really design a crochet pattern you can actually make?

I'm riding @sandiegomts.bsky.social this week to get to jury duty (SO much easier than parking downtown).
The PA periodically announces key rule reminders: "No smoking, baking, or eating are permitted on the trolley." 🤨 It took me WAY too long to realize it was "vaping," not "baking." 😂

The teenager is sick so I moved one of our air purifiers to his vicinity and cranked it up to turbo. Turns out the air purifier on turbo sounds just like our air fryer, and I've been craving tater tots all day. Pavlov had a point.

On May 2, 2025, the Trump Administration released its FY2026 federal budget proposal.
On page 39 he calls for the complete elimination of the only federal agency dedicated solely to supporting America’s libraries and museums.

My 16-year-old: "LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, right?"
Me: "Uh, maybe?"
16yo: "Pretty sure it is because why else would Shift-Ctrl-田-Alt-L be a built-in shortcut on Windows?"
Me: "…it's weird that you know that."
The (weird) kid is correct, though. Both about the shortcut and the ownership. 🤷🏼♀️

One of today's (many) exciting discoveries: my beloved Bernat Maker yarn dyes beautifully even with my cheapo Rit dye.
So far I've just done one quick test, but I think an ombre octopus amigurumi might be in my near future.

For my tapestry loom project, I need a large "fender washer" with a ¼″ hole. They're not readily available in brass, though.
Fortunately, there's similar hardware used in furniture restoration. Unfortunately, the hole is just shy of ¼″. Fortunately, brass is soft and I have a drill and clamps!

It's taking much longer than expected (which is pretty much the story of my life), but my tapestry loom pieces are all cut and sanded, and I have fasteners. Now we'll see how good my math was...

My criteria for "what constitutes an amazing shopping haul" have changed dramatically over time. Now that I'm into woodworking and CNC, new drill bits and weird little sandpaper gizmos THRILL me.
(And @yokoco.bsky.social helps me lean into my weird with a Personal Development Budget! 😍)

We've been watching Wheel of Time season 3 this week, and it is SUCH a joy to my nerdy heart.
Robert Jordan imagined a vibrant, fascinating world but lacked the writing skills to do it justice.
The show's thoughtful changes are making the series what it ought to be—redeeming it. ❤️

I read that hornets are territorial and can be dissuaded from nesting by the presence of an existing nest—even if it's fake.
I decided to crochet one for my country-living Dad as a birthday gift. I used cotton yarn odds and ends I had on hand with the intent to bleach and dye it.

Trump’s Pentagon is erasing Navajo Code Talkers—Indigenous warriors who helped win WWII—from military websites. This isn’t about “efficiency.” It’s about whitewashing history and erasing those who don’t fit his MAGA narrative.

Working on my first cabled knitting project and learned that a short wooden needle with a thinner center can be used to hold and transfer stitches. So I thought, "Why not make one?!"
Well, maybe because I'm a lathe newb and take AGES to make anything. But I'm so excited to replace the metal DPN.

Due to a couple of flukes and some post-op blood thinner, I'm currently severely anemic. Had to have a blood transfusion last week (also, God bless blood donors ❤️).

My teenager and I discussing, "centaurs have six legs and are therefore insects." He reasons that they don't exoskeletons so I say, "What if they're wearing armor?" He insists they NEVER wear armor, so I try to generate an image.
Midjourney really, REALLY doesn't know what centaurs look like.

Have some free time today, so I think I'll give myself purple highlights, explore crochet colorwork & textured amigurumi, do homework for my MongoDB class, work on my first knitted cabling project, listen to an audiobook, make double chocolate muffins, and play Minecraft.

This marketing for Anchor embroidery floss is beautifully targeted. They have nailed the pain points of using their competitor's product. (Not shown: it's only 10¢ more, which works out to 14% more money for 25% more product—intuitively a bargain.) I'm going for it the next time I'm floss-shopping.
