Chronically creative. Started designing knit and crochet patterns while spending so much time resting due to long covid. Knitting and crocheting keeps me happy and sane.
Yesterday I was too fatigued to post here. So here I am, a day too late for the protest for people with Infection Associated Chronic Conditions organised by @niethersteld.bsky.social We need health care!We need long term policy from our government! @delinkserevolte.bsky.social #craftivism #longcovid

Yay! My sweater at Dutch Design Week. A combination of two designs, Epic Bag and Out of Office sweater. Knit with regional wool, Campine heath sheep for the expo Wool: rediscovered at New Order Of Fashion. #ddw #knitsky #knitepicshit #wool #localwool #fortheloveofyarn #Ravelry

Get off that hamster wheel and make time to knit the Out of Office sweater! Being Out of Office due to long covid inspired me to design this sweater, but it turned out to be a protest against the ratrace. #craftivism #ravelry #knitsky #outofoffice #ratrace #feminist

Get of that hamster wheel! This is a protest against grind culture! It seems like everyone needs to move fast, act quickly and work harder to keep up with AI and other machines. We’re not machines, we...

Period poverty sucks! If you want to raise awareness, I made this pattern for you! You can tag them along on your protest andthey can protest by themselves. They like to hangout at the town hall or be gifted to your alderman. Or what would you do? #craftivism #poverty

Working on my Out of Office pattern with my monkey twin. It's an easy peasy boxy sweater pattern, perfect for mindless knitting a.k.a. knit nights at the café or knitflix and chill. #ravelry #outofoffice #monchhichi #recycledyarn #knitsky #monkeybusiness #knitting #craftivism

Eat the rich! Or just tax them a fair amount. A meaningful conversation? You'll have given your opinion before the food is on the table! Grab your hook and some yarn and gooooo. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #craftivism #eattherich #crochetpattern #ravelry #crochetsky

Yay! These pills raised 362,50 euro's for medical research for long covid. These pills don't cure, but they definitely help!
Money has been raised for #stichtinglongcovid, love has been spread. Keep going, so will I!

Repair, don’t replace! Nice motto, right? It’s better for the world, better for your creativity, better for your wallet and bad for capitalism.

Today is ME Awareness Day. I want to show my support to the activists @meactnet.bsky.social

This Emotional Support Pill became an activist, still to give emotional support to the community of people with post acute infectious diseases.

My bike lock needs a new jacket. Knitting is the answer. As usual 😉 I will write a pattern. Would you knit a bike lock cosy? #upcycle #repair #fixit #knitsky

Channeling my inner Jane Fonda by knitting a pair of legwarmers.

I'm thinking about writing a pattern for these legwarmers even though it's not my most original design.

But the real urgent question is: which buttons will I put on the pockets. Yeah, legwarmers with pockets.

Politics, economy, the climate, society and your personal life. There’s plenty to worry about. To give up. To want to take shelter on the couch with a blanket and a hot cup of tea. Naturally!
