That is beautiful!

Good question! Spinning; both wheel and spindles. Does collecting yarn and fiber count as a hobby?

For f’s sake. Don’t you people have any real news to write about?

They have to have someone to hate for them to exist. Also, blue states support the rest.

I got both the flu and Covid vax this week also. My covid shot arm feels like someone hit me with a baseball bat, but my husband is immunocompromised, and I believe in science too. A sore arm beats watching a loved one die on a vent.

Making Let’s start with the knitting today. I have eleventy billion projects in the works, but am mostly working on just a few. One is the usual pair of socks. The yarn is West Yorkshire Spinners, c…

The first rat jumps off the sinking ship. I didn’t expect it to be MTG

🤣

Blood-red, perhaps?

Knitters snagged by tariffs, as yarn brands pause shipments to U.S. At least a half dozen European brands suspended deliveries after the de minimis exemption ended, leaving crafters to contend with higher prices and supply issues.

That is so adorable that I had to go buy the pattern.

Inquisitive corgi checking out the camera. “Mom” in the background

What’s up, indeed. #corgi

A couple of finished things I’ve been on a spinning obsession lately, so that’s what you get today. As they say, buying yarn, making yarn, and actually using yarn in projects are all completely separate hobbies. First up is a…

Oh go away. 🙄

These drugs are approved for medical weight loss, and have some rather spectacular health benefits. Body shaming is not necessary, there is plenty of other stuff to criticize the trumpers for.

Timeline cleanse. Miss Ripley

We know Trump is evil. His supporters know he’s evil. They just don’t care. I’m not saying this isn’t important, and I definitely don’t know what to do about it, but you could show these two raping 12year olds on live tv and his supporters would still follow him.

Get Grandma off Medicaid and out of that nursing home bed and make her pick lettuce. She’s a slacker.

I think it’s worse than that. You could publish a verified Epstein list with trump’s name, and they wouldn’t care. You could show them a verified video of trump doing unspeakable acts with a 12 year old, and they just wouldn’t care. I think there’s nothing he could do that would change that.

Let’s call it what it really is.

My Senator. Epic.

Ooh. Is that the Visconti Mythos? I’m about to hit “buy” on the purple one.

One of my all time top five books. Just finished a reread of Pet Sematary, which always scares the bejesus out of me, but it’s not even close to The Stand.

Dumb corgi tricks I got back from my trip safe and sound, but missing my earbuds. They could be in this house somewhere, but I suspect they are in the seat back pocket of an airplane. They were just cheap, barely us…

Get a dog, she said. It will be fun!

Pretty sock yarn to start my morning. West Yorkshire Soinners, color name Wildflower. #knitting

Say it again

My dog just walked up to me, stopped, FARTED loudly, and then walked away
