I love how the texture pushes the edges of the matte! Lovely work

That perspective was confirmed when I read Loretta Napoleoni's, The Power of Knitting: Stitching Together Our Lives in Fractured World

BTW Its part of a larger group of work called, Fuck Off, Pay Me: Returning credit, and payment, where it's due

Join me in paying homage to those ancestors and the many hours of their work! Most of these items are torn and thread-bare I can't possibly hide them, I want to live with them.

I love it when that happens! Enjoy the scones while they're around and happy knitting, even through the difficult parts

The curtain changes as the light changes. The piece gives off a gentle and calming light and feels like a joy when I walk through the room. Which happens to be several times a day.

🎉 You are doing great! Keep going. Knitting is a part of humanity's heritage. We've been making fabric from loops for a very long time. And, your instinct to try something new is bang on.

After a long thought, I've decided to knit the pieces and sew them in. I chronically pick up and knit and I want to try something different... You know, for science 😉

I know a sewn in sleeve is stable. And, a dropped sleeve is a basic shape.
But, picking up stitches to knit is so easy!

I'm almost finished knitting up the pieces for the body... Dropped shoulder, I've been contemplating how to construct the sleeves. I'm happy to knit up one and sew it in or do I pick up the stitches to knit? One is easier to write and knit. But, is one better than the other?

Of course I read, Tariff Impacts, then wondered what the green lights were all about 😆

Still, i don't think it's cool to share the image. It's sick. And, it is staggering that you can't see why. Despite the adult child having given permission (who would assume that). I won't assume.
Now, I'm going to step away. I'm not ignoring you or the conversation, just getting on with my life

I didn't know that and I still think it isn't cool. The image condones sick attitudes towards children and Trump's actions.

I think this photo is very not cool. The image of a child, a minor, having been raped is a violation of their privacy. Even if they are no longer a child, they were when it happened.
Tasteless.

I was #402 at 6 PM. Disappointing. But I dragged my kid to show him how easy it was. Sssuper anti-climactic. I hope I instill in him the importance to vote and make the effort to keep up-to-date

You feel alone and scared. If you look around you might feel less lonely. Count your blessings. Move your body. Help someone. Talk to people. Do something safe you wouldn't normally do. Tonight before you close your eyes, count the lovely things you saw. When you get home, be well rested.
