I just love this...
Simple knit and purl stitches are used in this cute scarf called "A scarf for all seasons". Looks good, right? Yeah and as the name says you can wear it all year~

Photo of a shipping box from Of Aspen, a paper goods shop. The box has a sticker on it with a skull and bats. The sticker reads, “ Of Aspen’s Halloween Harvest Drop 2025.” Next to the sticker is a crocheted piece of fabric that includes Halloween and fall colors such as orange, gold, dark red, purple, black, navy blue, forest green, rosy pink, peach, and moss green.

crochet with delicious new Halloween yarn from @yarnbaby. Amber got up on the couch to keep me company. I just got some happy mail from a paper craft company. I’m still sad and angry, but I no longer feel like pulling the covers over my head.

Find joy where you can. Don’t give up. Hold on.

I have chronic depression that’s pretty well controlled by medication about 80%of the time. Today was one of those days that fell into the dreaded 20%, and I planned to just go back to bed. Instead, I crocheted the cloak and witch’s hat for my Wooble and started a little freeform (1/2)

Cuuuuute! 🧶💙

A pattern I recently test knit has been released and it’s really cute and it means a lot to knit something cute in your life. 🧶
Cute Lil Acorn Hat by Nicole Larkin-York

Project details in alt
#knitting

A colorwork, handknit hat with a motif of acorns in two shades of green being worn on Deidre’s head.

Yarn used: Ula+Lia DK, 100% camel in moss and 85/15 sheep/cashmere in olive
Needles: 3.00mm and 2.75mm

My gauge runs really, really loose and this yarn plays more like a worsted weight rather than the labeled DK. Regardless, the hat is still nice and soft~

Look at this gorgeous piece of art! 🧶💙

I have a job interview tomorrow and am panic-knitting instead of unpacking. 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 🧶 (also I really missed this project. Love it!)

A very colorful wavy shawl is shown- each wave a different variegated colorway. The pattern is The Resplendence Shawl by Stephen West and it is so much fun.

Beautiful hats!! 🧶💙

Math for Knitters, official pub date October 28th, 2025: you can buy it directly from shop.ninetenpublications.ca/products/mat.... Right now it's Canada/US shipping only, but as of launch date there will be an e-book, and we are lining up international sales.

Math for Knitters, by Kate Atherley

NOTE: Pre-orders placed on or after September, 18, 2025, may ship a bit later than earlier orders due to higher-than-expected demand for the book. A great challenge to face, and we appreciate your pat...

Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction.

If we were a republic, I mean.

“The president demolished the White House.”

“The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.”

“The president is why life is more expensive today.”

“The president was besties with Epstein.”

Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

The irony of the White House's East Wing, in which First Ladies have worked ever since Rosalynn Carter became the first First Lady to make her office there, being razed by a serial rapist and Epstein co-sex trafficker, is not lost on me.

Cats will ignore you for hours, then collapse dramatically in your lap like you're their last hope. It’s a game. It’s a love story. And it’s the best kind of emotional chaos.
