Congrats to Canada for voting for sanity and empathy.

I don't believe the WWE realizes what it's done. By ending Wrestlemania like a fart in the wind, they just reminded people like me who came back as fans after years of not watching why we left in the first place. How much did Travis Scott pay the company to make himself seem relevant? Just terrible.

I know I'm supposed to "market" my businesses, but uh, I have a brain, and I'm not going to tell you to buy things right now. If you need yarn, you know where to find me, but I'm going to save my pennies like everybody with half a brain has been doing lately. Mercy.

I really wish people would understand that true accessibility and inclusion is disabled people being able to do everything you can do, including move fast.
"You sure walk fast with that cane!"

Well yeah pal see my hip was rotated so bad my femur was halfway out of its socket and I was rather motivated to get to my office where I could deal with that on a sofa instead of trying to lie down and fix it on a dirty sidewalk, thanks for the feedback

Just finished the first section of the first book in the Dune series. HOLY COW WHY HAVE I NOT READ THIS SOONER. It's so good!

@nutmegsadventures.bsky.social maybe Jess should reclaim the yarn from the swords sweater that no longer fits?
🧶 Some days turn out to be for un-knitting, and that's satisfying too. This was a sweater that I loved making, loved the final results, won an award(!), but ... I never wore it? I'm excited to have the gorgeous yarn back for something new.

I believe as long as you are not hurting other people or yourself, you should have 100% control over your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

If you were planning to head to Joann, at least in CT, for their liquidation, everything is pretty much gone at most stores. Don't bother lol #Joann #knitting #yarn #crochet #yarnsky #knitsky

If you are lucky enough to have smaller sewing stores near you check them out but be kind! They can't carry everything and their prices are gonna be higher cause they are small and can't buy this stuff at the same cheap price points.
BUT! if there is something you'd like let them know, they're cool

Day 14: Love

I didn't expect anything this year, but my husband surprised me with my girls and these cute gifts. They thanked me for all I do and told me they loved me. Very grateful. #knitsky #fiberuarychallenge #valentinesday

Day 13: Favorite

I'll pick my favorite project I ever made so far - the Orchard House Shawl! It was intense but so worth the time. The end product is beautiful ❤️ #knitsky #knitting #knitter #fiberuarychallenge #knittedshawl #knitshawl #finishedproject

Day 12: Unfinished Business

This whole bookshelf really needs me to look through it and figure out what's going on with it, but I keep putting it off because I have no idea what to do with most of it. #knitsky #fiberuarychallenge #knitting #yarn #wips #projects
