This tactile model of the Gateway Arch is augmented with Braille descriptions. I wouldn't have noticed it were it not for the great explanations from @blindish.bsky.social

The layers of clouds are so beautiful. It looks like a marble pattern over the water.

A United States attorney for the District of Columbia is so sloppy and unprofessional that he releases a written statement with an egregious grammatical error.
Silly, I know, but attention to detail is required by the law.
Also, I don't think US attorneys are "the president's lawyers."

These times call for a cuddly mosaic overlay #crochet pillow. I made it as a test for a larger project but it was too cuddly to toss. 🧶
Knit Picks acrylic (says sport, really worsted/aran)+ Caron Cakes yarn. 5mm hook.
The pattern is Merry Maze by Beba Blanket. Excellent instructions/chart.

This #crochet 🧶 market bag was designed to look like lovely flowers, but I had other ideas.

The weird thing about making 🧶mittens is that you have to make two of them. Who wants to do that?
Fun mosaic crochet pattern with an advancing circular join. I'd never done that join before, so I was a bit obsessed.

Done! 🧶 This is the Islands CAL medium mosaic overlay crochet blanket. Pattern by Tinna Þórudóttir Þorvaldar (www.ravelry.com/designers/ti...). Yarn is mostly K&C Essential Cotton with a bit of Lion Brand 24/7 cotton.
(Tip: Watch all of her intro videos before you begin.)

Looking for some 🧶 help from the experts.
Are there actual, reliable, consistent standards for yarn weights? Is it best to order the precise yarn recommended in each pattern?
For example, the Loops & Threads silky soft claims to be 3 and the Yarnspirations Paton's Kroy Socks says that it's 1.

I've never used lace-weight yarn. So much to learn. I'm doing overlay mosaic crochet now, and want to try embossed and interlocking next.
