I mostly knit and crochet. I have countless unfinished and forgotten projects... I never said I was a good crafter.

I'm sure this is TMI, but I don't wanna see an email with the subject line "Solids have entered the chat" after getting sick 🀣 but thank you Lion Brand. Looking at yarn I can't afford does make me feel better 🀣

Gray and teal knitted cardigan laid on a bed. Peaking out from the bottom right is a great fluffy tail and a little bit of white fur from the kitten sleeping all cozied up under the cardigan.

Cardigan’s almost done, but my kitten’s using it as a bed. New project it is!

Another angle of the same gray hand‑knit piece, laid out more flat to highlight the vertical columns of eyelet lace stitches in the textured fabric.

Progress on the cardigan. I'm scared to lay it fully out in case one of my strings slip out and I lose over a 100 stitches.

Sunlight spills across the fake wood flooring of a small apartment, catching on dust motes and the bright fabric of a kid-sized circus tent knocked onto its side. A gray and white fluffy cat rises onto her hind legs beside it, soft paws stretching up toward a single red dot that flickers and skates across the slumped canvas. Her long, fluffy tail angles out to the side like a feathery counterweight, swaying as she balances. For a moment she looks like she’s frozen mid-twirl in some private dance, when really she’s lunging with fierce concentration at that tiny glowing dot on the tent.

Fun fact: I was adopted from Chile as a baby and just found out I still have my Chilean citizenship. Hello lower cost of living and higher quality of life and most importantly I'll be able to afford an echo for my little chaos princess Toquí 🐈

Every crafter’s dream: finishing winter makes and getting a new, instant winter to wear them in. Hemisphere swap for the win XD 🧢πŸͺ‘

It's the little things.

Wanted a quicker project than my cardigan. I'll get some more work on this then go back to the cardigan. And yes my tension is soooo loose. I was struggling with the tension with this yarn. But I think I have the hang of it now.

My first go at lace knitting. It is bunched up because I paused mid row (and forgot where I was...). It's a nice distraction from the health inspector forcing me to evacuate because the landlord's property is uninhabitable.

Rx Inspector: ProPublica’s New Tool Provides Drug Info the FDA Won’t We’ve launched a first-of-its-kind app to help you find out where your generic drugs come from and see the track records of the factories that made them.

Consumers don’t know if their medications came from factories that used dirty water, were infested by insects or birds, or were outright banned from shipping drugs to the U.S.

Our new app provides answers that the FDA won’t.

Well if people can't afford to buy anything then obviously it's going to hurt the economy. I never understood why give tax breaks to people who don't need it and take money from people who don't have it. Never made sense to me.

Are there any you recommend?
Or any you would avoid?

Finished my first knitted scarf! I love the colors, but I really wish the yarn was softer. It's so rough 😭 might make more with the other bitty stripes colors I have, seam them together and give it to the kitties. They seem to love the rougher towel feel.

Knitting my first scarf. Using Red Heart bitty stripes. I'm still new to knitting. But I'm happy with how it's coming out. I'm getting better at seeing where my tension changes. Not fixing it yet, but identifying it.
