I crochet and do other crafts. I have countless unfinished and forgotten projects... I never said I was a good crafter.

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.

I am thinking of getting a steamer for blocking.
Are there any you recommend?
Or any you would avoid?

A knitted scarf with stripes of blue, teal, purple, and lavender. The scarf is folded over in an upside down V shape in order to show both ends of the scarf. The scarf is laid on a dark red satin pillow.

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.

I love when schools do that. I wish more schools did that. I think it's important to know about the books under attack. Hopefully the first book of flowers in the attic was before the brother started csa-ing his sister 😱 I would save that for a little older age.

Or death of a salesman or flowers for Algernon. Did you actually read flowers in the attic for school? Cuz dang. That said, I don't believe in censoring or banning books. I think people are idiots if they think reading a book will change their kids into entirely other people.

If we keep up the act maybe we can gaslight them into thinking that they are the clueless one.
(Also I understand how serious gaslighting is and apologize if using it in this context offends anyone, that is not my intent.)

And they should also talk with at least 5 different licensed child therapy experts to see if reading that material will actually have an affect on children and what that might be

I couldn't figure out knitting for my life. Eventually I found a "local" yarn shop several hours away that did lessons and it made all the difference. No idea if that's a possibility for you. Tunisian crochet is gorgeous and will definitely be warmer for the winter.

That's the best bet. I try really hard not to bend any of my tools because I've had a pair of knitting needles break once and I've been paranoid ever since. Wishing you the best of luck.

Not a ton. I've definitely pulled on it while accidentally sitting on it πŸ˜… but I crochet, Tunisian crochet, knit, and sew, as a result I don't have one particular set of tools getting "over used"

Hear ye, hear ye! The rumors are true! This is all there was of Big Twist and K+C, but still. It's here!
Purchased K+C 100% cotton yarn for $4.49 to finish a project. I'm stocked on Big Twist, but needed more of the K+C to do something with it!

Shades of blue, white, and black speckled yarn knitting into a scarf, it is curling in on itself.

Knitting my first scarf!

It keeps curling, I plan on giving it a border and block it.
