2nd #knitting project done! I upgraded from dpn's to circular and ho boy what a game changer! I learned a LOT of new things making this hat, including how to do the daisy stitch which I love the texture of. So happy with how this hat turned out, made with wool and v comfy. 🧶 #fiberarts #hat

This project was sitting in my WIP corner of shame for a good 2 years but it's now FINISHED! Just in time for spooky season 👻 I modified my piece by adding sleeves and of course had to use a classic Freddy Krueger coloration. This thing is reversible too! 🧶 #crochet #spooky #fiberart

Finally got around to teaching myself #knitting this year. Been on the books for a while. Used the C.C. Beanie Redux pattern by Lea Stern as my first official project! It's full of mistakes but it turned out well and I love it. It was also a great lil' stash buster... 🧶 #beanie #fiberarts #beginner

Spending a relaxing Sunday tunisian crocheting a pair of Slipper Socks by Hayley Joanne Robinson and catching up on #CriticalRole S4. First time tunisian crocheting in the round and so far I'm loving it! 🧶 #crochet #tunisiancrochet #fiberarts #socks
On the left a skein of white yarn sits next to a cake of blue yarn on the right. Below them lays the beginning of a tunisian crocheted sock using said colours.

A tad late for #WIPWednesday but as a #crochet palate cleanser I'm making the Boreal Shawl by the Unraveled Mitten. It made me think of dragon wings so of course I had to make the project infinitely more complicated with colourwork 🧶 #shawl #colorwork #fiberarts
A small black, orange, and blue crocheted triangle lays on the floor. Bobbin clamps loaded with yarn are clamped to the edges.

#WIPWednesday Finally back to working on my own #tunisian #crochet version of the #MelttheIce hat! I tried an alternate version of tks that made it stretchier but didn't like how it turned out as it was far too wide. So back to regular tks with just some extra stitches added to the body. 🧶

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

My current #WIP, the Dainty Bones Pullover by Restless Hooks. For Xmas I got a gift card to a local yarn shop and used it to get all the yarn for this project, which will be my first 'nice' sweater (intricate w/ fingering weight). Very excited! 🧶 #crochet #fiberarts #colorwork #sweater

On this day in 1942 in Nazi-occupied Norway, wearing knitted red hats as a sign of resistance had became so popular they were officially banned. Guess what? They’re needed again! So get yourself one of “the other” red hats and wear it proudly 🧶 open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Just finished up my #MeltTheICE hat! I don't knit and wasn't a fan of the crochet version so I made my own #TunsianCrochet version. Turned out pretty good, but I'll definitely be making some changes on the next go-around. 🧶 #FuckICE #hat #crochet #red

I don't know how to knit, but it's one of the things I plan on teaching myself this year. However, I would love to see a crochet version of this hat. Might take the time to figure one out myself. #FuckICE #FuckNazis #FuckFascists #resist

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Enjoying a beautiful day at the beach as I wait for night to fall. I'm not patriotic, but I'm a sucker for fireworks. Joining the #NoKings protest in my own way, with my lil sign posted up on my blanket and #crocheting to pass the time. Anyone else use their piercings to hold their stitch markers? 😂

i want you to practice saying it. “i am invoking my right to remain silent and will not answer questions without an attorney present.” say it out loud. it sounds so simple but when the moment comes, you forget. you’ll be stressed, scared, confused, & want to explain yourself. don’t. it won’t help.
