Looking Glass Falls in Pisgah National Forest near Asheville, NC. Knitting + moving water brings me such joy as an Autistic person and helps regulate my nervous system. We must protect our National Parks & National Forests. This was free (minus the cost of yarn & needles lol) 🧶 #knit #autistic

Nothing like a move to get an Adhd person to transform into Marie Kondo. I'm destashing in my Etsy Shop with free shipping. I have a lot of colors of Big Twist Posh from Joann. There is a 2-skein order minimum for the Big Twist Posh skeins. #crochet #knit 🧶 neurostitches.etsy.com/listing/4335...
2 purple bulky #5 skeins of yarn called Big Twist Posh purchased from Joann with the heading: each skein is $6 each.

I'm AuDHD & we're in the process of moving. I'm struggling: dealing with change (even if it's change I want), strangers coming in & out of my home, & disruptions to my routine. But I took to the Blue Ridge Parkway this weekend & I'm feeling better for now. We must protect our public lands. 🧶 #knit

Spinners of BlueSky! What would you recommend for a first-time, beginner spinner to use when spinning fiber? I already have the fiber! I really like the idea of the spinning wheels where you use your feet but is that too much for a beginner? #knit #crochet #yarn 🧶

Working on my Geddy Tee and my tension is so different once I joined in the round 😩 I didn't change how I held the yarn or needles. Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid this in the future? Will this block out? For context: This will be my first knit sweater that I finish. 🧶 #knit #crochet
Hand knit and crochet sweater work in progress with pink and purple hand dyed yarn. Yarn is from La Bien Aimee in Millennial Pink and High Key Purple.

The Adhd paralysis of "I have so much to do idk where to start so I can't even do my morning routine because then I'll have to start." The good news is caffeine withdrawal will kick in soon so I'll have no choice but to start my routine. Luna, my unhinged cat, gets it #adhd #neurodivergent #audhd

Ghost blessing my granny squares for the Geddy Tee. I don't like blocking because im impatient. But I think it is so necessary for granny squares because it just really makes them look next level and makes joining them easier. How do others feel about blocking?
