When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Spent the time between the bus stop and work attaching the next row of squares to A’s crochet blanket. On row 19 of 21. In the home stretch!! Can I finish by the end of the Pigskin Party on Monday?!? 🧶 #Crochet #ScrappyBlanket #ScrappyBlanketDiaries #DCSPigskinParty24

4 more squares toward this week’s goal of 50. 20 left to go by Sunday night. Can totally do this! 🧶 #Crochet #GrannySquare #ScrappyBlanket #DCSPigskinParty24

Nothing like a “yarn meeting” (as my kiddo called tonight’s knitting zoom) to get a bunch of ends woven in! 🧶

It’s almost as if one party cares about the lives of everyday people and the other doesn’t. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes I have approximately 1716381 ends to weave in. For now, this blanket is keeping me warm as I crochet the border for row 14 of 21. 🧶 I can totally finish this by the end of @bostonjen1.bsky.social ‘s Pigskin Party in two weeks, right?! #Crochet #ScrappyBlanket

This week I did a vlog-style video over on the channel as I worked my way through A’s granny square blanket. 🧶 #Crochet #ScrappyBlanket #ScrappyBlanketDiaries

Four more squares and I’ll hit 200 for A’s scrappy crochet blanket!! 🎉 🧶 Now if I just stop scrolling and pick up the crochet hook…. #Crochet #Yarn #ScrappyBlanket #ScrappyBlanketDiaries

This has been a LONG week. Wound up these mini skeins to crochet into squares throughout the day to help balance another long day of meetings, reports, and overall chaos. 🧶 #Crochet #Yarn

For those still over on IG and you followed the official POTUS (46) and VP accounts for the prior administration, go unfollow them! They switched the official accounts over to 47 and JD, keeping all the followers. 😡🤢

Many of us are still figuring out this new-to-us platform and honestly, having different feeds is one of my favorite features so far. This is a marathon. Not a sprint. We are only on day TWO. Yes, we need to take action. But we also need to take care of ourselves for the long haul.

You all said he’d lower our grocery bill. Let’s buy eggs. My grocery receipts from August, October, January. Plus a screenshot from my grocery store’s app today. Store brand. White large dozen eggs. I’m waiting… 8/24/24 - $3.99 10/20/24 - $4.29 1/12/25 - $5.99 1/21/25 - $6.99

This scrappy crochet blanket is going to be ginormous! A wants it to be 14x21 squares. We’re just over 1/2 way at 14x11 🧶 #Crochet #ScrappyBlanket #ScrappyBlanketDiaries

My feet will be warm and happy now that my most-worn hand knit socks are fresh and in their boxes ready to go. 🧶 #Knitting #HandKnitSocks

Long overdue hand knit sock washing day! 🧶🧦 #HandKnitSocks #Knitting #Yarn

Starting the day with a New Kids dance party. As you do! #NKOTB #Blockhead

When you are crocheting a blanket and can snuggle under it while making more squares 😃🧶

One of my favorite parts of making these scrappy blankets is revisiting leftover yarns from past projects. Like this one that I purchased just a few days after we found out I was pregnant after 5+ years of infertility. It eventually became stripes in Z’s first Rhinebeck sweater 🧶 #Knitting #Crochet

Wound up the next mini skeins to crochet squares for A’s blanket while she works on her new Lego set. 🧶

For more about my scrappy 🧶 blanket antics - I started a Scrappy Blanket Diaries series over on YouTube. You can find the playlist here: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Let’s use this super long meeting to weave in some ends! Ready…set…go (4:28 pm ET)

For those of us yarn people who have found our way here and want to connect 🧶
