Behold. The first of our yellow pear tomatoes. I had to capture every side. These are a small heirloom type. We know from last year yellow tomatoes are so sweet & mild. She's awaiting her fate at dinner. #gardening #kcagg #heirloom #yellowpear

I made these three coasters for my mother using cotton yarn. The pattern is called Sunrise coaster by TL Yarn Crafts. I just watch this tutorial over and over while making each one. I'm pleased with how they came out. youtu.be/5OkdVPRWSn0?...

I've been on a roll. They aren't perfect, but they're mine. I'm in love with granny squares. #chrochet #fiberarts

I have successfully learned to granny square. Used a yarn meant for switching so the colors aren't perfect, but I love it anyway! #chrochet #fiberart

I have no idea what to do with this incredibly long chain of crochet. I am I'll probably frog it and practice other stitches.

Today I crocheted for the first time. I made this chain. It's terrible but I get the concept now.

Power went out due to a wind storm about 730. Power co says it might be back at 9. I think I'll be going to bed early tonight. :)

This might be desperation speaking, but I'm gonna try! Anyone in #crochet or #knitting have ONE skein of: Big Twist Vivid (DK/3) Blu/Purp? 🙏 Was nearly done with a throw...3 yrs ago...but I mathed wrong. I had 11 skeins, not 12. 😂 Been in WIP ever since. 💔 If I have to frog it... 😩 #yarnproblems

My child collects clocks. They have no less than 20 in their small bedroom. They pretty much all make noise. It's a symphony of minutes passing as I wake them for school on a Monday before the sun comes up.

I was happily using my 80 peg small gauge loom and a silky acrylic yarn. Was going slow but ok until I did what I believe is called "dropped a stitch." I frogged it and will use this yarn when I'm better on this loom. #loomknitting #knitsky

Been practicing on the new loom. I say 3/8 but it's 5/8 whoops. I like it a lot. youtube.com/shorts/mhjvV... #loomknitting #knitsky #fiberart

This would lead to death of millions. This cannot be allowed to happen. We are not bodies for the rich mens pockets.

finished this hurdle stitch in chunky acrylic yarn today. The color is "primary", which cracks me up because while I love green, it's not a primary color. I forgot to measure but it's my arm span. Played yarn chicken and won. #knitsky #loomknitting
