This is spectacular! I love the scales and you should absolutely be proud!

This is spectacular! I love a color block and a turtleneck!

Kristen, a Black woman with a swooping Afro poof and purple glasses, a teal t-shirt that says Homes for All with a city skyline printed in white, under a purple, white, and black crochet granny sweater, waves and smiles at the camera!

Kristen holds a Clover 3.5 mm crochet hook over her black, purple, yellow, and white crochet sweater. In the background is a golden yarn back with a purple plush yarn hank as a zipper pull. All of this is on a jungle print bed comforter.

Kristen, a Black woman with a swooping Afro poof and purple glasses, a teal t-shirt that says Homes for All with a city skyline printed in white, under a purple, white, and black crochet granny sweater, stands and holds a ball of the yarn that makes up the sweater and looks directly at the camera. Her sweatpants are pants are grey

Hey y’all! May there be homes for all and a pride sweater that fits for me! #crochetsweater #Yimby #hexagonsweater #nonbinary #housingisahumanright

Ah ok, I wish us more 0 days and less golf days 😞

Whew, this is heavy, but needed. What's your color chart and what are your date parameters.

These are the parable times and I plan on making fibercraft my positive obsession

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

Congrats!

Yes, I did a comparison of them and the Mainstays yarns from Walmart. I would try the Yarnspirations website and watch for any sales. Amazon also carries all these yarns, but if you are avoiding either, just go straight to Yarnspirations

I love finding out there’s a jacket version of this!

Yes, thanks for adding that explainer.

They owe Yarnspirations parent company a lot of money. Also, the house yarns are white label yarnspirations any way. I would feel good ordering some of those online.

The cover of my book Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream, which shows an abandoned Toys R Us under an ominous sky.

I am extremely freaking thrilled to announce that Bad Company is *officially* available for preorder wherever you buy books. (I am linking to Bookshop but buy it wherever!) I worked so, so hard on this book, and it would mean a ton to me if you ordered it. bookshop.org/a/109816/978...

Yep, and this is what we are about over here. But then again, let them think it's a joke...

Checking in on how your sweater is doing and the cardigan. Also, you too.

Agreed. I just missed her at my yarn store the other night, but I'm so glad she's learning what I learned years ago, during one of those first shutdowns and my own personal shutout of being in the federal/DC workforce.

I want both! Actually, I have both in the house so I'm already starting out good.

My partner is getting a similar theme, but I'm holding one of those Big Twist highlighter orange strands together with one of those black and white LionBrand anti-plying yarns. I did a test drive with this pumpkin-colored WoolEase

GG is the best! And I have a skein of her MadTosh I got at a yarn swap at my local (which also happens to be AOC's lys, now, lol).

More JoAnn information that's reputable.

Oh and if you want to know what I really think of the demise of JoAnn, you definitely want to watch my series of videos on it. I'm working on my next one now that we know JoAnn is closing most of their stores. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Hey y'all, of course I had to bring Kristpattern over here! This is my latest project, a crochet hexagon 🧶 sweater in what's left of JoAnn's Big Twist nonbinary colorway.
