I went out again, two days in a row. I regretted both times. WITAF is this sticker all about? Racists, putting the ‘cunt’ in ‘this country’. Home is my safe space 😖 #fightfascism #fightfordemocracy #fightforequality #fightforeducation #banGBnews #stopthehate #milkshakefarage #domesticterrorists

#OTD 19 September 1991, walkers in the high Ötztal alps on the Italian border, found a body melting out of the ice. It turned out to be the remains of a c.5200 year old man preserved with all his kit. Of course, it was essential to replicate him in Playmobil. 1🧵 #PlaymobilÖtzi #PlaymobilInfestation

Makes me laugh.

bags of unfinished yarn project all over the house for emergency rides to and from other cities in order to stay busy.

Yarn was purchased by husband. I did have to ask though. I cannot understand why the man doesn’t bring me a bunch of yarn (instead of flowers) at the end of every week. Oh wait, he buys all my yarn 😉🧶

Said fingerless glove. I haven’t cut the yarn because I wasn’t sure if I’d have enough for two. I think this design should work with what’s left. 🧶 #crochet

and.... as promised on the original thread, just finished the bathmat with the baby forms of the Stardew birds. The babies take fewer pixels so this bathmat turned out much more reasonably sized. 🧶 #stardewvalley #crochet

This is me with knitting needles. I found crochet hooks hurt when I take them out, so I stopped doing that a long time ago.

I constantly stick my hook in my hair for temporary holding then forget it's in my hair then spend way too long frantically searching all the couch cushions around me before remembering I stuck it in my hair.

Every time my husband does the laundry he scoops half a dozen locking stitch markers out of the dryer and hands them to me.

Tell me you crochet without telling me you crochet. I’ll start… Currently using my shirt pockets to store the working yarns, one fingerless glove and a 4.5mm hook so I can go to the toilet. #crochet 🧶

I think we all need to see silly ol’ Hank Green learn how to knit increasingly difficult items, yes? Also, who the fuck is Hank Green? 😏

WIP Wednesday. I’m working on this Unicorn cowl - winging it - whilst my feet fizz like they’re full of lemonade and everything else aches. Sorry, not feeling as cheerful as this project. 🦄🧶 #crochet #cowl

I didn’t want to do any solictor’s work today. Over three hours, just for Mum’s case - replying to an email! Then, THEN, they send me something for my case to read and sign. Signed it unread. Sick of saying I need help and can’t handle this. Idiots. My foot is vibrating and my toes are tingling 😡

Need to get up to get medication but I’m wiped out from the shower and seeking hibernation. I think I could nap but it’s more likely I’ll snap. And there ain’t no housework fairy despite my suggestion. The Chronic Pain Rap. It’s short because I can’t be arsed to think of any more words #chronicpain

Deconstructed yarn cakes. I call it the circle of shame (when I’ve made a circle but this is all of them together) but they’re gorgeous. The ones where the dye has kinda muddied the colour gives it a unique multi-toned effect that I’m not disliking now but as they were, not so much. 😍🧶

I crochet because murder is frowned upon 🧶☎️🤷🏻‍♀️

Today’s questions, London Locations 1) What is unique about the buildings at 23-24 Leinster Gardens? Pictured 2) Which event happens around Powis Square every August Bank Holiday weekend? 3) What would you find within the grounds of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich? #quiz #generalknowledge

We headed outside of the house yesterday. Wouldn’t recommend. Somebody had caused criminal damage to public and private property by spraying a red cross in several places, presumably to make some sort of political statement. I assumed it meant they were a nasty cunt. #fightfascism #fightforeducation

The #still moments after rain— breathing in the petrichor and listening to the mellifluous sound of raindrops falling from eaves, after the downpour. A quixotic feeling of limerence for earth's catharsis and envy, for it's peace. #vssmagic #vss #BlueSkyPoetry #SkyPoets

I have some doubts about therapy…

I don’t particularly understand my own body, let alone anyone else’s. And that’s why I’m not a fascist.

Just for anyone who doesn’t know, if you include the emoji for yarn 🧶 your post will appear in feeds for knitters, crocheters, weavers, etc. If you would like to appeal to a different audience, I recommend changing your emoji of choice. No judgement but I just want to see textiles & fibres, thnxkbye

I think we all know that Vladonald Trumputin ordered the assassination of one of his closest, to make like he is under attack again. Straight Outta Kremlin

I’m not loving it. I like the pattern, working with a 5.5mm, but I don’t like the colour changes, or how the colours look like together. Sometimes they look better in the cake. I think I’ll frog & split the colours, as someone, much wiser than me, has already suggested. 😉🧶 #crochet #yarn

Saw this. Thought you yarn addicts might like. I’m just going to say it, baubles aren’t just for Christmas, they’re for life. Also, adopt dont shop. 🐾☺️ 🧶 #yarn #fiberartist #fibresrtist #knit #crochet #craft #weave #textiles

In a foul mood? Look at funny stuff. It might make you laugh-cry instead of just crying. Or swear, it’s been proven to reduce stress. #humanrights #notamurderer #fightfordemocracy #fightforrights #fighttyranny #equality #mentalhealth

Stress colouring to give my crochet hands a break. Thought I’d flick through this Stained Glass window colouring book (25p, charity shop) & the first full picture was all I needed… if signs were anything to go by. Using the kids old colouring pencils as well as my own. Most are rubbish. Loads broke🙄

I guess there’s one positive of having an on-going brain melt episode… stress crocheting is producing a shawlette. Can I count my crochet as an assistance thing, like a pet? I most definitely dive into it when I’m spiralling, like snuggling a dog. 🧶 #crochet #stress #chronicpain #crochettherapy

Picture round today on the theme of games. Enjoy! 1) What is this toy called? 2) Who is the artist of “Children’s Games”? 3) What is this game called? Answers tomorrow #quiz #boredombuster #generalknowledge

Ladybird hiding. Wish I could do the same.

Mental health+stress=not fun. Yay me! I was supposed to be returning to work when a car accident ruined me. Even if I only claimed for a part-time job until retirement, that would be a six figure number, “my” solicitors want me to sign a form that limits my claim to a low five figure number 🤢

I feel like I swallowed a washing machine and it’s lodged in my upper intestine. Waiting for a response from the solicitors & trying to distract myself by finding some yarn to match some that a little Brighton birdy chose for a cardigan. One is discontinued, don’t know two, one with label #yarn 🧶 UK

Got an estimate for a therapist (via Solicitors) of £60. Just did a quick search, looks like that figure is more likely £100+. What planet are these people on? It’s 2025, not 2005. Why do I have to argue everything, all the bloody time?
