I should do an intro? Howdy! I’m Erin. I’m a fiber artist that lives in Kansas. I do it all, crochet, knit, weave, spin and dye yarn. I currently teach at Yarn Barn of Kansas, at the moment I’m just teaching Tunisian Crochet, but hoping to expand in 2025! #fiberarts #crochet #knitting

I was going to pop in my AirPods and listen to some music or a podcast, but listening to rain is doing way more for my nervous system and soul atm.

How about another hot take to kick off the Monday? I’m so sick of the AI character doll thing going around social media. Seeing creators play along is pretty maddening. We are trying to fight the AI system, not feed it 😞 Keep it out of the fiber arts 👏🏼👏🏼

No sympathy here about the US beef trade with China falling apart. But then again, I’m not a big meat eater and I think the industry is disgusting.

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Did some more spinning last night before I broke a foot peddle off my Fantasia 🫣😩 I’m pretty sure it’s fixable. Question though, why does the yarn stop feeding onto the bobbin at times? Am I treadling too fast? Lots of over spinning. #spinning #fiberarts

Good lord…here we go…
1984-esque propaganda spewing out of America's airwaves now.
This is America as long as we allow it to be. Please remember these folks are in the minority. The People have the power. Which is why they are working overtime to intimidate us into silence and submission.

Got my quick rigid heddle weave off the loom tonight. Still needs fringe, a soak, and a proper photoshoot 😉🥰 I am rather fond of it, and would love to make a second one, but different. #weaving #fiberarts #weavewithknittingyarn #indiedyers #yarnbarnofkansas #SqueezeMeScarf

Imagine thinking a guy who charges around $100K for a vehicle with glued on metal panels that just fall off is the one to be trusted anywhere near our government.

Be kind, give to others. Get into your community. I can’t give a lot financially, that’s why I teach fiber arts ❤️
The world may feel cold, scary and cruel, but if you are open to seeing it, there is a lot of kindness, according to a new report.
Kindness will make you happier than a higher salary, report shows | CNN
It is easy to get bogged down in bad news and mean interactions, but a new report finds that people tend to be kinder than you might expect.
