It’s so pretty!

I think maybe put it down, and whip up a swatch now. Throw some increases into it, and a little basic colorwork. Block it.

Or block what you’ve got already, but I think you have to see how it’s going to act before continuing or frogging

You can’t convince me DOGE didn’t cancel SSA’s contracts with states to issue cards at birth through the hospitals by having their AI flag “assigned at birth” as a “bad phrase”.

There were some stories saying that it was done in retaliation to Maine, but it hit far too many states.

Omg. I’ve never in my life thought about spending this much on a book before. But look how beautiful!!!

Oh good, I needed an aneurysm today.

That yarn is LOVELY

Never mind! It is a feed now 😆

So just up at the top where you see the feed babes you should be able to swipe left and right to change which feed you are looking at :) put your thumb over “crochet and knitting” and swipe it to the left, should put you on the smyk feed.

They should be up the top, under the butterfly when you’re on your Home Screen. :)

your screen left or right.

The setup is great because if news and current events is stressing me out too much I can just stay in the crafting or gardening feeds.

Which feed did you pin? I’m not sure you can do that with the hashtag, but for knitting, the two I have pinned are “craftiverse” and “crochet and knit”. Once they’re pinned you should see them up at the top of your screen, you can move between “home” “for you” and your custom feeds by swiping…

“Oh if only I had a tool to summarize the three lines my mom sent me about summer picnic food choices my life would be so much easier!!!”

I swear every day the aggressive push to force us into using this shit makes me want to live in a swamp hovel even more.

Because I’m not observant I only just noticed that when I open my emails, there’s an ai thing at the top I can click to “summarize this email”

Who asked for this? Is it really so hard to just… read the email? Were people really out there going “oh my god it’s so hard to read emails!!!”?

Great timing as I’m on the hunt for a good lace pattern and seeing so many! For #showmeyourknits this week I don’t have anything new, but these make me happy :)

Oh those are cute! I’ve been trying to decide on a mitt pattern, too. My new office space is freezing :)

I’ve never met such a friendly cat. I also can’t have a third cat. I keep getting messages from my “found cat” posts to get better pictures but he wants love too much.

I also really do not like cats being outdoors so why are all the outdoors cats coming here?

There’s a cat in this photo but it’s all just a blur.

So I put him in an old dog kennel. Thought I could get a picture through the gate. Instead, he decided he needs to make out with the gate. All the photos look like this.

Cats keep showing up at my house.

Tonight one shows up that is definitely not semi feral like the others. He seems to think he’s home and we’re his people.

I can’t even get good photos to post him because he keeps trying to make out with my phone.

That is looking like a good option right now. Plus their fundraiser food is better.

I have a lot of trust in our local leadership, and am in fact a parent volunteer, but just really grappling with continued financial support of the larger organization.

I had some misgivings about joining at first due to the organization’s history, but it really seemed like they were moving in the right direction and becoming something we could enjoy.

I’d just like one good thing in our lives that doesn’t have these assholes ruining it.

Scouting parent here, and I’m so freaking angry at this. My daughter loves cub scouts. And we have great parent leaders who absolutely won’t care about this policy and will stand up for the kids, but I’m just so freaking exhausted by all the rolling over for this idiocy.

This situation is absolutely disgusting to me. I just pray I’m wrong about it and it doesn’t end in catastrophic injury and agony.

I can’t wrap my head around it at all though.

Gosh I remember when she moved to my area to train. we used to go to that rink for open skate nights.

I remember her getting into a DUI accident nearby when she was still a teenager. I think she ended up having quite a rough road :(

Oh I have fairy bouquet on my list… yours is so pretty!

Incredible! Also I think that would take me years to complete. You’re amazing!

I think it probably gets easier and faster with practice :) I just added one to a cardigan I’m making and it wasn’t much more time than doing a bind off, but it was only one color (and not a contrasting color), that probably makes a huge difference.

Yours is very pretty :)

That’s the way of law enforcement everywhere. Property over people.

That’s ac really nice edge. :)

(Is the every other row twisted part of the pattern here? Gives some pretty texture!!)

A deep, textured green sweater in the process of being knitted. Featured is a sleeve, about 3/4 done, showing the lace panel that runs along the shoulder and length of the sleeve. It is resting on a tan and cream patterned blanket. Yarn- fiber optics Kashmir in “Kelly” Pattern -Gaja cardigan

This sleeve would be done a lot faster if I could do more than one round without stopping to shop for yarn for my next project. 😆

It’s so weird, it’s a really pretty pattern, but I’ve been having trouble engaging with it the whole way through.

Oh that looks so cozy.

Very nice!
