I love Halloween in NYC! These UWS pumpkins with faces are real—apparently an Amish farmer with molds and much patience made this happen during the growing process.

It's intentionally vague. The provision below appears to be arbitrarily applicable to those unable to prove to DHS's satisfaction that they are not inadmissible on criminal or health grounds.
Sec. 3. Suspension of and Restriction on Entry for Aliens Posing Public Health, Safety, or National Security Risks. I hereby proclaim, pursuant to sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), that the entry into the United States, on or after the date of this order, of any alien who fails, before entering the United States, to provide Federal officials with sufficient medical information and reliable criminal history and background information as to enable fulfillment of the requirements of sections 212(a)(1)-(3) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(1)-(3), is detrimental to the interests of the United States. I therefore direct that entry into the United States of such aliens be suspended and restrict their access to provisions of the INA that would permit their continued presence in the United States, including, but not limited to, section 208 of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1158.

This week's #showmeyourknits theme is apparently shawls . . . items I don't use or knit often. I'm awed by all of the beautiful lacy wraps I've seen in my feed. I only have a garter stitch shawlette to offer, but it makes up in tassels what it lacks in originality. 🧶

I set crafty goals for each new year, and in 2025 I will address my fabric stash. For me, hand sewing has similar meditative vibe as knitting, and nothing beats English paper piecing. I see a hexie quilt top and (hopefully) improved sewing skills in my future . . . 🪡🧵

My first baby knits! I didn't have time to knit much of anything when my kids were this young, so it was a pleasure to make these for my cousin's baby.
