My feelings EXACTLY

Variegated skeins of wool yarn that are a mix of periwinkle purples, bright teals, and deep ocean blues

If anyone is listening to EPIC: The Musical on repeat so much that it’s become like turning on a comfort tv show in the background… then do I have great news for u

STORYGRAPH IS EVERYTHING TO ME

Oh I love seeing them all together like this😭😭 beautiful work!!

Officially at the stage where I could cry at any moment, even if nothing is happening

Thank YOU for being here 🩵🩵

You: *runs an account bringing awareness of fatphobic disparities in the fiber community*

Them: “dOeS iT hAvE tO bE pOliTiCaL”

One thing I’m weirdly, hella grateful for is that not a single person that has unfollowed me this past week has felt the need to announce their departure. Honestly? Thank you so much for that💀😌

Yes! Diapers are a great thing to be able to offer

You’re by no means expected to do everything on the list; start with one. Or if you’re already doing one, add just one more (hell yeah!). We can do this. I’m hugging you all so hard. 🩵

Feel free to add more ideas to the replies!!

- get first aid certified
- use your local libraries!!! Libby and Hoopla are great for audiobooks
- your libraries are also most likely organizing a lot of events to attend
- join a buy nothing group
- advocate for community gardens
- purchase from small, local businesses when you can

- bake for your elderly neighbor (or just check on them!)
- donate needed food/provisions to your local food pantry
- hell, sign up for a shift to volunteer!
- organize craft night or attend an already organized craft night in your area
- follow your local mutual aid on social media

Some things we can do to help people directly in our communities:
- call your local school and pay off some lunch debt for kids
- make sure your friends and neighbors know your home is open and safe
- donate your gently used clothing to anywhere but a store selling it for profit

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

TRAGIC: local girl has the wrong sized Cordsmith, now she has to knit 3 feet of icord on her own

Here to second Sticker Giant !!

VERY MUCH feels like it!!

Corriedale Spinning Fiber Corriedale, 28 micron, 85mm staple length  Weight of fiber is approx 4oz

We have braids of this fiber (and one other) online now!

I feel like I am capable of dark magic when I spin and knit with handspun yarn ???

It is!! I’ve been loving using them in colorwork or as a contrast color in any project

SAME THO ?!?!

Ah thank you!!

AHHH THANK U I AM OBSESSED

Two skeins of yarn, one on the left is a light gray non-superwash and the one on the left is a handspun skein of light blues and purples and greens

SCREAMING INTO THE VOID TODAY BECAUSE MY BODY CANNOT CONTAIN THE FEELINGS ANY LONGER

Like I need y’all to realize that they do not even HAVE ENOUGH DESKS for everyone. They do not even have the space available for someone to be able to do their job properly. So when you hear them complain about “how no one wants to work” or “wasting resources” you know exactly what’s happening.

When policies like this are meant for the sole purpose of getting people to quit so that it destabilizes our government entities so that it makes way for privatization???? What seems like a small, inconsequential thing is actually a really big bad thing. Like REALLY bad

Not to mention being able to work from home when you’re sick so you do not have to take sick leave for something trivial, but get to keep your coworkers safe.

My heart goes out to all of the federal workers who are about to lose any work from home benefits they had on Day 1. The flexibility has been paramount for our family and I cannot imagine how especially devastating this will be for new parents.
