Today is my birthday!! Enjoying with video games, mending, movies, Chinese take out and more games with the kids when they get home from school. I might clean up my desk… but we’ll see 😅

Some last minute tags I made this morning because we didn’t have enough and our home printer can only handle the simplest designs 🥲 (we needed something for Santa’s gifts) Feel free to use if you’ve found yourself in a similar bind. #christmaswrapping #christmas

I don’t consider myself a hacker, but I’ve developed a lot of computer skills because of my love for gaming. And it comes in handy. Example: I work on a dual pc/Mac for (remote) work, it’s a fast set up. My coworkers are on their 3 yr old laptop that sounds like it’s going to take off any moment.

This post took me down a wild rabbit whole.

Finished this last night! I’ve been sick for like 2 weeks (some weird cold), so I haven’t been able to stream. Honestly, can’t believe I got it done in time. Literal blood, sweat and tears went into this. #crochet #crochetsky #fallsweater #sweaterweather

BOOOO! 👻 #aesthetic #cottagecore #frog #spookyseason #knitting #decor #Whimsical #spooky #cutecore

Second rendition of collar and lapel are done on my damask Tunisian crochet knit stitch cardigan. All that's left are secret pockets, weaving ends and proper photos. I have zero clue what I'm doing next, but my current thought is possibly cables in a second color. Ask me again in five minutes :P 🧶

Ryan Coogler says he’s rebooting ‘The X-Files’ for his mom, a major fan of the show, and she’s already read some pages: ‘She’s fired up.’

Finally laying out for the cardigan! I think there’s a real chance to get this done by the 26th. I’m so excited to finish the blocking to start putting them together. #crochet #scrapyarn #fallcrochet #fallclothes 🧶

Had to add in another color, but I think the copper color worked out! All 27 done! Tomorrow’s stream I’ll be working on the cardigan construction and planning that all out. #crochet #cardigan #halloween #fallcrochet #fiberarts

Making Progress!!!

Dearest new crocheters: I am again seeing a spate of convoluted tutorials on how to get straight edges. The ONLY thing you have to do is pass your yarn from left to right under your hook when you turn, or turn your work in a manner that would accomplish the same thing. That's it. Easy peasy. 🧶

Remember to mark your calendars! October 18, 2025 No Kings II: Down with the King and the Billionaire Regime is happening! Visit nokings.org to find an event near you, and bring a friend. #nokings #nokingsprotest #nokingsinamerica #nokingsday #nokings #50501movement #50501protest #indivisible

Took me a moment, and then I realized I was next to Fiber Space. Kudos on getting that approved.

Day 8 ~ Blanket 🐸 I’m really loving crochet at the moment, I made a lil toad in a blanket for this prompt. Still a bit skrunkly but I’m making progress 💪 #octoadber2025 #crochet

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

#WIPWednesday 4 more skulls need pedals and then I can start the background blues 🧶 on all of them. I don't want to jinx it, but I might be able to finish this before the last week of Oct. Maybe, possibly. #crochet #fiberarts #halloween

Happy Sunday everyone! The world is in a wild state, spend some extra time crafting today. And show me what you’re working on! (P.S. this is Doggie. She’s our old lady who spends most of her time sleeping these days)

Oregon AG Rayfield: Huge win at this moment in our democracy right now. This is the president that is normalizing the use of the United States military in our country. So to get this strong of a ruling out today for the public to see—it’s incredibly important.

I’m live just chilling and weaving in ends 🧶 if you’d like to join me on Twitch! Find me @alienwud

Is it WIP Wednesday? No. But I started yet another project although this one’s got a tight deadline. Any guesses? #crochetsky #fallcrochet #fiberart

Been crocheting more lately, this was my first non snowflake crochet item. Freehand this little purse, yes I’ve been crocheting while my sweater sits unfinished. #crochetsky #fiberarts

Exciting! A documentary about the copyright fight between generative AI and artists called “Copy + Paste + Steal” is out, and it features many faces you’ll recognize. Here’s a little clip. The whole thing is on YouTube free to watch: youtu.be/nwxtEvljUZU

#wipwednesday #knitting Salty Days Sweater by Kutova Kika 2.5 weeks in and my 4th knitting project after a long break. Def needs some blocking, but I’d bet it’ll look nice. Although I’m playing a bit of yarn chicken with the red. I don’t think I’ll have enough for the bands on the sleeves.

Sharing one of my favorite recent embroidery pieces. My kid asked me to do some embroidery on their ripped Jean jacket. 🪡 She loves it! This was my first time creating my own design and I’m still new to embroidery, so I’m happy with the way this turned out!
