First time cross stitching in 20+ years. Probably not the smartest idea to use black Aida in a smaller gauge, but there’s no turning back now.

I worked in a 1-screen theater when this came out. Veterans (or their wives) either walked out after the first 10 minutes or stayed an extra 10 minutes after the end to finish crying.

That is absolutely gorgeous! And I wish we could trade places - it’s mid-90s in PA this week 🫠

💐 <— this is displayed when you return a book early. But the real fun happens when you tap the flowers

Same! And I just learned about the flowers last week so now it’s even more exciting!

Done! Your book was already on my TBR. The added chance to support science makes this a no-brainer.

Percy wants to know if he can play frisbee on the beach with you

Black cockapoo faces the camera as he jumps with a green frisbee in his mouth. His ears, not to be confused with wings, flap outward

What?? Fetterman??? I’m so shocked

Completely agree! My family’s favorite are ghost tours - a little history, a little entertainment, and usually VIP access to spots restricted to the general public.

What pattern are you using? I think I want to try socks next too!

I missed the green theme for #showmeyourknits so here’s my transitional offering of green #colourwork - the Kermit sweater. Thanks @septhermitknits.bsky.social for directing me to this pattern - Edinburgh Seamless Dog Sweater.

Small black cockapoo stands outside in the sunshine wearing a green knit sweater. His mouth is open just enough to see his bottom teefers and his tail is mid-wag.

“I’m here” is my standard. Like, I’m alive and I pulled myself together enough to get out of the house and arrive at this social interaction.

Sometimes the mathing is more fun than the knitting

I’d rather be in Ireland. ☘️ Happy St Patrick’s Day

A view through the ruins of Dunamase Castle reveals a cloudy sky, green rolling hills, and a stone church in the distance.

Same. I got a Harris biography for Christmas 2024 and haven’t been able to crack it open for that very reason.

A bit later than usual but these little pops of sunshine are most welcome in my yard #bloomsky #bloomscrolling #crocus #microdosehope

I’m in a similar mess with a sweater I’m working on. It sucks but the end result will be worth it - at least that’s what I keep telling myself.
