My cross stitch is coming along with the many hours I was hanging out with others watching football today. But as lighting changed and I got fatigued, I wasn’t so sure my trees were on track. Will know better in the daylight.

Cast on a #knit hat tonight. This one is designed to resemble the ones that will be worn by Team USA for the 2026 Winter Games, specifically during the opening ceremony & some snow sports. Pattern designed by Mercy Crimm. No flaps for me, as I will later plan to wear this to LA #clippers games.

I sign up for challenges, then look at what other people have used to read for a particular prompt on StoryGraph. I don’t pick a number of books to read, nor a goal of how many challenges I will complete. This plan helps me read a variety & not get stuck in one genre. NF as ebook, fic as audio.📚
Book people: How do you pick your reading goal? How do you choose what you’ll read?

I try to keep a nice mix between fiction and non fiction but I’m thinking I want to add in some series I started but didn’t finish.

Not a gift for Christmas but a specific request for a red scarf for an upcoming birthday. I just love cables. Saw Classic Cable Scarf pattern on Ravelry, but didn’t want to go four cables wide, just three as I like the look better. So inspired by the pattern but doing my own knit idea here. 🧶

Cute baby jacket alert - knitters certainly will appreciate this finished project 🧶

And it was inspiration to nudge me towards finishing an ornament I crossed-stitched. It’s a reminder to others to post your “done-done” projects cuz, even across crafts, it might be exactly the needed motivation!

Here is the toddler hat that I completed. 🧶 It’s worsted weight acrylic yarn, but I don’t know the brands. The black yarn is fingering weight though, I think, and likely wool and nylon blend. #knitsky pattern designed by Nicole Krüsi.

Can’t wait to see the creativity!
Let’s get behind this creative effort and scholarship opportunity.

I’m looking for 100% Filipino people who are willing to submit a cheek swab test in hopes for a genetic match to my aunt, who is battling blood cancer. The registry for stem cells doesn’t have many Filipino people in it, and joining it could help many. Please share/reach out to me!

I finished the stocking #knit along. I made a few changes to the Arne and Carlos pattern at the end by making some little yellow and green flowers because I wanted more green in the stocking and overall thought it balanced colors better. #knitting 🧶

My latest stocking progress and I’m only one day behind. Since I really want more green in it as there is only one section so far, I’m waiting to see what the next pattern section looks like as maybe I will #knit it there. 🧶

I was cruising along in a good knitting rhythm when I thought, when is the heel going to be placed? This is an awfully long foot. Then I discovered the pattern has a line that uses an arrow to indicate heel position. There were no instructions written and I had to find video info about placement.
