Completely a personal note but - my love beat cancer today. 🔔🙌🏻

When may we be done with this annual insanity of pretending we’re in different time zones for a portion of the year? If I sign up for jet lag, it should at least come with the fun of travel. 😵‍💫

😣 oof

What a cutie!

Those are just amazing, how pretty! And yeah, I have plenty I never wrote up into a pattern so I completely understand that.

Those are all just so pretty 💛

AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! 😍

Omg where is that pattern from?!

Pretty daffodils blooming outside The Old School House Arts Centre in Qualicum Beach, on Vancouver Island this morning. The school house in the background is a soft yellow with white trim. There are green shrubs behind the daffodils. The morning sun is low and warm.

“Daffodils, like whispered promises, bring the fragrance of new opportunities on the breeze.” – Anne Frank

Daffodils are my favorites. Thanks for this beautiful quote.

Same.

That sums it up.

🙁

Ouch! Sending you healing vibes, hope you mend quickly!

For those who don’t know me personally (most of you), I worked in independent bookstores for more than a decade. If I’m not knitting or stitching, I’m reading.

I adore books. 📚

Book Ban Data The American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) has released new data documenting book challenges throughout the United States, finding that challenges were nearly double that...

Spent time doing preliminary research on banned books today, for work. Already want to share what I’ve been finding, so here’s some info from the first 8 months of 2024:

414 censorship attempts
1128 unique titles challenged

(These are only what are reported to the ALA)

Wow, I guess those of us in apartments can starve. I’m so tired of the ‘grow your own’ rhetoric. Victory gardens are great, for an era when people had land. The land is all corporate owned now.

Sigh. Thank you for sharing that.

This is adorable!

Skylight, Bluesky's promising version of TikTok, is available to beta test. Remember to download TestFlight from the App Store first. Looks pretty good so far.

Perfect use of a starter pack

You’re right, books will be written on it.

It really is. I’m gonna go stitch more today.

Thanks! The next design in the works is book themed 🙃

4 Yarn Ball embroidered disks laying on a half completed Clapotis shawl.

I’m past the halfway point on my sock yarn Clapotis, first I’ve ever made even though I was knitting when it came out.

Also, embroidering up a ton of Yarn Ball disks to make sure my recommendations are in point.

😳 whoa. That’s a horrible thought.

Thank you!! ☺️

Right now seems like an excellent time to be reading a book. 📖 On a ban list or a good fantasy, both are great options.

Thank you! ☺️ It’s been so much fun.

Thank you!! 😆 I’ve had so much fun stitching them while getting them ready for market.

Available directly on our website or as part of our wholesale program!

That’s perfect
