Does anybody else have an overwhelming urge to knit or crochet a frog hat real quick for the protest next week? Can't let the Portland Frogs down! #nokings Ravelry has so many options but i love this one. 🧶 ravel.me/frog-hat-27

The same designer has a book on crochet socks (!) these patterns are pretty clever, so maybe she’s cracked the code on them too

So far this has been my favorite way to make a hat (pattern from Crochet Hats and Mittens for Everyone by Sascha van Wagtendonk) 🧶

Starting to crochet the crown of a hat with a pumpkin spice colored yarn

The crown of the hat is bigger now, a square shape with a ribbed texture

I’ve been thinking of that time a lot lately. The city felt under siege- helicopters everywhere, protestors rounded up, etc

i already feel weird for caring so much about an american league game

Eliza Stein @elizastein.bsky.social · 3d

i just gave up and took a shower and the game is still on?!!!

Eliza Stein @elizastein.bsky.social · 3d

Aww :)
Kids around 10-11 are so fun to talk to for that reason, not sure I’d want to relive that time, though

Eliza Stein @elizastein.bsky.social · 3d

That’s a sophisticated choice! I just wanted a lava lamp at that age

when i was 16 i volunteered at the AIDS Walk and another volunteer asked if he could recite a poem he wrote. i said sure, and it was an anti-circumcision song to the tune of "if i only had a brain"

Eliza Stein @elizastein.bsky.social · 5d

I still can’t get over how Tim is wearing a shirt the exact same color as the wall in the ESA. He knows how to dress AND take charge of his health!
