What is Reverse Decluttering and How Can It Help You? - Minimalist Crafter Reverse decluttering is a mindset shift for decluttering that focuses on what you want to keep instead of what you want to get rid of.

I know it's not spring but I'm already doing some pre-spring cleaning. If you're ready to start, reverse decluttering might be a good approach. minimalistcrafter.com/reverse-decl...

Air Dry Clay Magnets - Our Daily Craft Air dry clay magnets are an easy and fun craft to make with kids, teens or adults. They can be decorated in tons of different ways!

I may be regressing a little bit in my crafting lately, but why not? Air dry clay is like playing with playdough, and I recently made these adorable magnets, which were so much fun to make and decorate. #craftsky www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/02/02/a...

My eye doctor is the greatest hype woman. Always happy and excited. Calls me young and beautiful. (OK, she was talking about the state of my optic nerve, but I'll take it.)

I’ve got to say the last-minute Whole Foods shoppers were a lot less fun than the β€œlast-minute” (two days ago) Walmart shoppers. #stormprep

I don’t know why this is true, but it is: tuna salad goes on saltine crackers, egg salad on Ritz crackers.

After watching the Lilith Fair documentary I'm listening to Lilith Fair music and got reminded of my favorite Lisa Loeb song ("Do You Sleep?"). Haven't heard it in years; still know every word. (Fun fact: Lisa Loeb remains the only celebrity anyone has ever told me I look like. And we both knit!)

Agreed! I want to say Knitting from the Top but they are all so great. And I can't imagine my knitting life without the treasuries of knitting patterns. So yes, all of them.

So anyway, go pick up a knitting book. Learn from the ancestors. And share what you find out! If you already knew Walker I'd love to know what your favorite book of hers is. 6/6

Zimmermann, Walker, Maggie Righetti, Deborah Newton, Mary Thomas, and on and on, those are my knitting grandmothers, too. And I don't know if people who learn on the Internet have access to that wisdom. I feel sorry for them if they don't. 5/6

Knitting Icon Barbara G. Walker Dead at 95 – Knitting

I wrote a sort of newsy post about her here: knitting.craftgossip.com/knitting-ico... but what I didn't touch on is how I wonder if knitters coming up today even know who she is. I learned the basics from my grandma and mom but what I know of techniques I learned from books. 4/6

28.12.2025 21:10 β€” πŸ‘ 6    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 1

I use her stitch dictionaries all the time, and all of this in not even to mention her work in feminism, goddess mythology, tarot and I-ching. What a life. What a legacy. 3/6

First it's really hard to imagine that something like that hasn't always existed, but it's still pretty new in the history of knitting. She also helped popularize knitting garments from the top down and mosaic/charted knitting. 2/6

So sad to hear today of Barbara G. Walker's passing. The first book I read when I started writing about knitting professionally was Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitting without Tears, which sent me quickly to Barbara Walker when I learned she (Walker) invented the slip slip knit. 1/6 #craftsky 🧢

Must be the end of the year because I normally write two pages of morning pages and today I wrote six. Concepts of a plan? Maybe.

Did my volunteer session at the library this morning, grabbed lunch for the fam, went on a walk, to the grocery store and made fudge and candied pecans. Now (2:45 pm) finally have time to work. Want to nap. Happy busy days.

Feeling a little superstitious as I bought planner pages today. The last time I did that was for 2020. Didn't really need them much, as it turned out.

Year two of Pantone giving us the color we deserve. This year's was like if meh was a color; next year's is literally nothing (white, aka Cloud Dancer). It's OK, Pantone, we gave up, too.

Do your thing, Tennessee 7! We're rooting for you and our apology for Omar Little's death.

Overheard at the library: β€œmy husband doesn’t have a family tree, he has a whole forest.” Love that.

Have been seeing a lot of posts lately in knitting groups about not being able to understand patterns. I get not knowing what abbreviations mean but I feel like they mean something else. Do you have problems with patterns and what are they? No judgement here, just curious. #craftsky 🧢

You know how Amazon gets us? It's the free shipping. Twice this weekend I didn't place orders on things I wanted that were on sale but the shipping cost almost as much as the item (like $17 to ship a small $19 thing). Probably good I didn't buy but I'd like to support those businesses, too.

This is a pretty niche statement, but if you're a craft blogger (or food, or probably other things) and you want to feel like you've done some things, write a post with 50+ items that are all your posts. Super gratifying (and coming tomorrow).
