Pick a selfie from your gallery and turn it b&w!
So did I!
You should have seen my face when I realized I didn’t have to MIX colors, I could just swirl them. You could practically hear “A Whole New World” playing behind my eyes
A closeup of a yellow envelope with a hot pink, turquoise and purple wax seal on the flap. The colors are swirled and the seal is a golden pressing of a cat surrounded by stars.
I have discovered the joys of sealing wax: delivering a handwritten letter to my younger sibling with an affected, “Yourrrrr letter, my liege,” which, when painstakingly opened to save the seal, read only “youse a bitch”
Mike Richards: terrible producer, even worse Jeopardy host, even even worse human being. Thank goodness for @clairemcnear.bsky.social helping him to show his ass to the world, because can you imagine if we were stuck with him for longer than the .2 seconds he was around?
Going no contact with people is actually kinda fun, I should find more assholes to block and never talk to again
An elderly man in jeans, a t-shirt and a bucket hat sits on a sturdy tree branch. He is jovial and laughing.
Yesterday while on a mental health walk, I met a man in a tree. Literally. He was fascinating. He graciously agreed to let me take his portrait while he was chilling in this tree, and told me all about how in 1985 he turned into this very tree. He is one of the best people I've ever met.
My chronic pain and subluxations have caused me to get Baby's First Walker, which means I am now officially An Old Lady. No spoons, just knives today.
I also soft launched my new venture, The Knitter's Apothecary, where I will make magical potions for fiber artists that will do things like weave your ends in for you (and you get a nice set of stitch markers along with it!) I am CRUSHING this productivity thing!
oh my goddddd my crotchety 18 year old cat is named Peanut Butter Jelly With a Baseball Bat because I am a product of my time
Every time someone notices the play on words in "I knit u knot" I get a pair of wings please stop noticing my 626 pairs of wings are so heavy on my back
Thank you so much! <3
I got my website back up and running! www.iknituknot.com if you wanna go look at my portfolio and buy some patterns!
It's because we assume you're stressed and busy recording all of... *gestures vaguely at everything*
I sent follow-up thank you emails the Monday after an event, in a timely fashion, to all the people I needed to. WHO'S GOT ADHD NOW--
shit my tea has been steeping for three hours hold on brb
If you're like me (a crafter riddled with ADHD disorganization) you'll appreciate the knitting and crochet printable planners I created for download! payhip.com/CorinPurifoy
deep dish pope is close enough to pizza pope
I'm leaving for Chicago in a little more than 24 hours for H+H Americas, and if I don't get some Portillo's this week I WILL scream and never stop screaming
I have approximately 24 hours to finish the shawl sample I'm designing if I want to bring it with me to H+H Americas next week, and about 20 rows left to knit, which is why I am currently doing literally everything else in the world
And they have a whole yard of them! I don't understand how people can have yards of beauty and NOT be outside 24/7!

my neighbor: why is this girl taking close-up pictures of our plants from the sidewalk?
me: WELL MAYBE YOUR PLANTS SHOULDN'T BE SO PRETTY, DID YOU EVER THINK OF THAT?
my neighbor: Greg, call the police, she's getting belligerent
A screenshot of a promotional email from Lion Brand Yarn. The headline reads, "Discover a New Designer: The LBY Pattern Marketplace." Next to that is an illustration of a ball of yarn. Under that reads, "Have you browsed the Pattern Marketplace yet?! Support your favorite designers, discover new ones, and choose whether to buy just the pattern or grab everything you need for your next knit or crochet project in one easy step!" Three pictures are visible under the paragraph: a crochet tote bag, two crochet crossbody bags, and the one important to this post, Corin modeling her Oakland Avenue Shawl, a white, lacy crocheted shawl with a lot of fringe.
This morning, if you subscribe to Lion Brand Yarn's emails, you may have seen ME and my Oakland Avenue Shawl listed under "Discover a New Designer" which I'm pretty sure means I'm famous no paparazzi please
I missed #Jeopardy Masters tonight and hulu has the AUDACITY, the unmitigated GALL, to not put it up for streaming until 4AM so I don't know if my queen, THE Queen Victoria Groce is going to advance??? My life is so hard
Corin, a black femme-presenting nonbinary person with dreadlocks in a black a-line dress, stands in a downtown intersection holding a textured and lacy golden-colored shawl.
Today is the fourth anniversary of the release of my crochet Skylines Shawl, and today it (and my Oakland Avenue Shawl) was approved to be added to the pattern marketplace on Lion Brand's website DO YOU BELIEVE IN SERENDIPITY BECAUSE I DO
On an evening such as this, the best thing to do is simply listen to Barenaked Ladies on repeat so you can hear them say "I just made you say underwear" and giggle but each time you giggle less and less until you're just staring into the middle distance and that, children, is what adulthood is like
Every time you giggle at "fingering weight yarn", a twelve-year-old angel gets its wings

I'm haunted by the ghosts of all the crochet patterns I downloaded with the intentions of making that I never, ever, ever will
(the ones I paid for are poltergeists)
I took a nature walk today and saw a willow tree next to a river, so I'm proud to announce that my depression is now 100% cured and I will be stopping my medications and therapy expeditiously.
