I just finished reading a nice little book about Maurice Sendak, written by Gregory Maguire (who I also just learned is gay), which is partially why this is on my mind.

I also just love picture books and have the distinct pleasure of reading a lot of them with my kids. We read a ton tonight.

Edward Gorey, Tomie dePaola, Maurice Sendak, Arnold Lobel...I bet there are more that I'm just not thinking of/not aware of being gay.

What incredible artists, though, seriously.

Also, my kid never cares about what I make her, but she actually enthusiastically wears this cardigan, so...it's all about the rainbow for her, I guess. 😂

Crocheted top is made with secondhand yarn from a Knitcrate, rainbow cardigan made with Hobbii Rainbow cotton (can't remember the size...), and the big granny cardigan is made with Cascade Whirligig, which is still super discounted at my local yarn store, and I am tempted to buy more...

Thank you! I will keep that in mind. I did order some metal ones (I have a bunch of needles that I somehow inherited, but they're all enormous), but I can probably pick up some bamboo ones easily.

seriously, my office is a crime scene. How do I get any work done?

James is going away with his mom and I'm about to be alone with the kids for a long while. I'm taking time off work, so hoping to do a lot more making...and organizing my damn house.

I've been crocheting a lot. I'm going to try to learn how to knit (I don't know why I'm so intimidated by it, but here we are).
