Done! Ana Lucia pattern by Wilmade. I’m really happy with this one.

Followed a sale ad for Hobbi and bought this skein. It arrived to the U.S. quickly. I wanted to see how this stitches up, so started a shawl. It makes a beautiful LIGHT fabric. More like working with thread than yarn - a major pain to deal with. In spite of that, I think about buying more. #crochet

Marnie’s Garden (in colors inspired by someone in her Hooked on Sunshine FB group) almost done. Draped on a couch so it’s not lying flat. Working a bit more on my made up border (wanted it straight not scallop-y). Plan to just drape over the guest room bed so I can admire it for a while. #crochet

Gosh I hate blocking. But finally got to it. Ana Lucia Shawl, pattern by Wilmade, for charity. #crochet #rainbow

Making progress on my Marnie’s Garden #crochet. Making slight alterations to the pattern (wanted more white rows, changed some BLO to 3rd loop..). Pattern by #HookedonSunshine. #yarn

Started Marnie by #HookedonSunshine. Lots of yarns sales lately and I *almost* bought more but decided I better tackle the bin with the skeins for this one first. Someone on that other app had done this colorway and it is exactly my living room colors (forest adjacent so fall colors). #Crochet

Finished another Chunky Oversized Blanket by Krista Cagle. This one is a tad over 4’ x 4’. #LionBran Pound of Love and Arcade - yarn doubled. This makes such a squishy and warm blanket. Since it’s all one stitch you can listen to an eBook or let your mind wander.

I created this one awhile back as a gift. Mouse pad she used at work although the size can also be considered a mug rug. Simple #quilting with #pieced sides and a #machineembroidery design from #UrbanThreads in the center. #sewing

The use of sweeping generalizations to denigrate any group, such as describing all undocumented immigrants as ‘criminals’ or ‘invaders,’ to deprive them of protection under the law, is an affront to God, who has created each of us in his own image. www.thesoutherncross.org/immigration/...

If you haven’t scanned their posts and need a smile - do. Time to update your app.

*mumbles to self* OK...SO:

- Ads feedback? ✅
- Ridic but fun Gulf name generator? ☑️
- Fix annoying navigation voice? NEVER

The Hand #Embroidery Pattern is by Badbird Andrea Zuill. Probably going to be a project bag pieced to be larger (still deciding). I think I want it to say something. Ideas? #quilt #sewing #machineembroidery

I need to share more of my crafting posts here. The Dumper team’s deliberate deluge to overwhelm folks has been working too well. I started another rainbow hued shawl to sell for donation. The first just needs to be blocked and I can put it up. Ana Lucia by Wilmade. #crochet #craftivism

@hatchembroidery.bsky.social No posts yet, but I keep hoping to see more of the machine embroidery community migrate here. It’s still primarily a Facebook thing. My own group for mySewnet Digitizing Software users is at 8,600. Hatch is at 16,100 for Hatch Users and 7,700 for Hatchlings.

We apparently missed "Gulf of America Day" yesterday. But at least one person celebrated by sending us an aggressively hand-drawn map revision. Unfortunately, MapQuest does not accept submissions in crayon.

You can search #Protest or #Resistance songs to add to your playlist. Some oldies (like this) sound good. Others haven’t been remastered and sound tinny. Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth

Lost at yarn chicken for my Rainbow hued donation shawl. Cannibalized my other skein for a bit of this color to finish the row. #crochet #craftivism #rainbow #shawl

This is machine embroidery -design by Urban Threads - on the back of a cotton shirt. Love owls and living rurally get to listen to their haunting whoo in the later evening. #sewing #machineembroidery #owl #moon
