Yarn-bombing is thought to have originated in Texas USA, instigated by clothes-shop owner Magda Sayeg and a group known as Knitta Please, who began the "knit graffiti" movement to brighten up public spaces as a form of street art #Womensart

If judges can refuse to officiate gay weddings, gay defendants should be able to refuse to be heard by those judges. If they can’t be compelled to perform the most heteronormative of functions, why would anyone believe they are capable of putting their biases aside for something with higher stakes?

Kyiv today.

Most of us have far more than we need or will use.

Yes. I have a helper who comes on Saturday morning. Otherwise, any time. I live in the Museum District. I will DM you my contact information.

What a wonderful offer! Thank you. It is all up in the air right now. My SNAP only is $28 a month. My sister is in the worse situation. She used to get Meals on Wheels but found them inedible.
What about simply getting together to visit and knit?

Thanks for the suggestion. I might ask on my local NextDoor. There are some very kind folks on there.

My sister (71) and I (80) both will miss our upcoming SNAP benefits. She is uses a wheelchair and oxygen, goes to dialysis 3 times a week. I am in better health but can only walk short distances with the help of a cane. I do not have the stamina to get to a food bank and wait in line.

Lots of work and imagination.

Painting of a bird perched on a bare branch against a pink sky

This 1841 watercolour is a painting by writer of 'Wuthering Heights' Emily Brontë. It depicts her pet merlin The bird of prey was rescued from the moors near her home and Brontë named the bird 'Nero'. The Brontë siblings all had good skills in art.

I mostly knit top down and in the round.

I use tea towels, never paper towels.

Grateful to #Yaroslava for sharing how life can go on in this unjustly war torn country.

With thanks from the eldest of four with a physically disabled and extremely stubborn younger sister who lives across the street. She is close to eviction because we have run out of rent money.

Second sleeves are my downfall. By the time I get to that point I cannot resist the lure of a new project.
