Now I’m wondering how hard a combo store would be. 🤔

Yes

Ahh that sounds like heaven!

Wouldn’t that be amazing??

Difficult customers leave at the end of their transaction. And often times you can at least learn something in the process of trying to help solve their problem.

Difficult bosses on the other hand…

I’m quitting my toxic yarn shop job today.
I’m going to miss grabbing a coffee down the street and that rom-com movie moment of unlocking the front door and flipping on the lights.

Now the question is, do I open a charming little yarn store? Or a smutty little bookstore?

I made a yarn #tourdefleece

I would knit a swatch with the ribbing and some pattern and see how you like the look.

And now I’m recontextulizing the dream into a nightmare

So yeah, I’ll just be over here continuing to worry about all the federal employees who are trying to prove their jobs hold value each week via a damn email.

I had a dream that every person had a stamina bar, and T*ump tried to ban them, because he thought they were DEI. Someone pointed out that they could prove we were efficient workers so he unbanned them, and then everyone was trying to get extras, or supped up stamina bars. 😞

I think it would be fun to weave similar narrow panels like this then sew them together force blanket

A wee taste of the 8 foot long scarf I wove from micro balls of yarn I’ve been collecting for years.

CDC plans to study autism, vaccines Move comes despite strong evidence finding no link between them. By LENA H. SUN and LAUREN WEBER • The Washington Post

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

Might save a life.

Look at this bit from a Zauberball. It makes me want to weave handspun.

I have a jar of mini yarn bits, and I’m doing my first weave! I’m not sure I’ll ever be a Weaver, but I’m excited to give these scraps a purpose. (My husband weaves, so I have the advantage of his knowledge for warping and finishing off ✌🏻)

I might have to get on this. I did make this hat and keep forgetting to put the chart up

🤣 truly the best way to be identified.

The pattern if you want to try a shadow wrap heel.

Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning an “aggressive” reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs from the sprawling agency.

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong.

Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

@tangledstarlight.bsky.social was right, don’t sleep on The Apothecary Diaries! 🥹☹️😫😍🤣🥲🥰<- all the feelings you will feel. 🫶🏻

More needlepoint. This was a quick little ornament that I’m going to gift to my parents. I’m really considering trying to self finish the ornament, but I’ve never even seen a professionally finished ornament in person, so maybe not the best idea? 🤷🏻‍♀️
