this beautiful never ending scarf looks… familiar. lol maybe 2025 will be the year. for the scarf, not humanity.

if i have to pick, i was a watcher of “nick rocks” as a youth (it was the same as “120 minutes” & i stand on that) so the eponymous album is so important to me, BUT! “john henry” is so special. they never miss. “flood”? a prophecy.

the other reasons i started this account (i wanted to follow something like this w/my main & couldn’t find one):
• obviously stuff listed in bio
• i love fawning over other crafters’ work
• important part: feeds & lists are great, but i’ve watched folks flap in the wind asking for help/opinions (1)

i self malnourished so everyone was flapping that parachute around or double dutching while i was put in front of a donut or a PB&J.

this account blocking a TERF

part of the reason i started this account: good GOD(ESS) i hate TERFs. oh you made a sweater? so you TRANSITIONED yarn into a different thing? it was a skein, it will always be a skein. it was born a skein, how dare you. 🧶

knitting: yep. 2 points make a stitch. keep goin.
latch hooking: yep. take that hook, loop, eventual rug.
crotchet: you have a bent stick & by stabbing the air you have made a 3-D donkey kong cat toy & a skirt. my brain does not… how did..? never mind. all the respect, crocheters that’s cool.

recently cleared out my storage unit & found a ton of perfectly preserved yarn from the turn of the century. a skein of this, a couple pound of that. everybody’s getting hats.
