I loved turning McConnell’s sentence against him. Made this shirt to preserve it for posterity. You can see how often I wear it.

This is at least the 4th time I’ve purchased this book. The first fell to pieces. The last one is in storage that I can’t access rn. So I thrifted it again. Ms. Henderson is able to give me feels like no other. I’m on pg 20, and I’ve already cried twice. READ THIS BOOK. #booksky #happyplace

Done! I love them so much! My grafting skills have improved immensely.

Pain levels high today but I’m going to try to dye some more wool, as the project I had planned has now morphed into a triptych and I need sooo much more black.

And yes, that is a teensy pot (2qts?) requiring dyeing about an OUNCE of fiber at a time.

Small spaces, y’all.

These socks are a milestone in my knitting journey. Socks have taken weeks to finish with mistakes and generally sloppy work. This pair is so far without mistakes, stripes are placed perfectly and match, and have been knit in less than a week including two days off for other projects. I love them.

Today’s adventure in dyeing.

Woke up in major fibro flare but dammit I will not give up the things I love to do. So I still did the dyeing I planned on.

Pretty pleased. Some will be spun into yarn and some used for a wet felting project. #FiberArts #Dyeing #CraftingInTinySpaces

The socks from the aforementioned yarn. I liked the color so much I plan to make matching fingerless gloves.

Why dye lots matter. The second picture the skeins are switched so it’s not just a lighting issue. It’s fine: bought in different stores at different times and will be used in different projects. I really do love this color scheme.

Never in my life would I have thought I would knit something like this. I hated ribbing: seed stitch was a level of hell I couldn’t imagine.

Then I learned the Norwegian way of knitting and purling. Game changer! No more throwing!

I love this so much💕 #WIP #Knitting #ShowMeYourKnits

I love my Prym needles.

A tragedy has occurred.

Do not use this kind of point protector on Prym needles.

This man’s ego bruises more easily than a two week old avocado. He has more temper tantrums in a day than both of my kids ever had all together. He shouldn’t be running a lemonade stand, much less a country. #SuperCallousFragileEgoFascistRacistPotus

I know they say having a hobby is good for your mental health.

It’s even better when that hobby requires you to repeatedly stab things.

Cathartic.

How is it possible this story needs to be written?

My husband, a native Californian of German heritage, ended up with a Mexican surname and got so much grief because of it that when we married, he chose to change his last name too. And that was way back in the golden age of 2000.

Fewer people in Santa Clarita this week but no dip in enthusiasm! Lots of cars “Honking for Democracy” too. #NoKings #DueProcessIsNotASuggestion
