My crafting bestie and I are making a cardigan together. She crocheted the granny square body, and I knit these sleeves on my machine. Another reminder of how much I love the colors of Malabrigo Rios ♥️ #knitsky #lk150

After watching the ST:TNG episode "Inner Light," one of the greatest, most memorable episodes of Trek ever, my uncle announced to the room that he preferred episodes with more space battles. I remember this, 30+ years later, because even as a young teenager, I thought this was a pretty dumb take.

Seen on today's stupid daily walk for my stupid mental health: tiny little harbingers of spring! 🌸🌼

I've had this pattern (Fairy Dust, by Dani Sunshine) in my queue forever, and I finally decided this purple Rowan Felted Tweed was the perfect yarn for it. I'm trying to get one more shipment of warm baby things out to Pine Ridge before spring! #knitsky #knitting

Now that I'm done with my Basic Decency piece, I'm back on my bullshit* *working on this giant polar bear playing cards #crossstitch

When I first saw this pattern a few weeks ago, it immediately spoke to me. Yesterday I finished stitching it! Pattern by SonovaStitch on Etsy

No, it's fine, we didn't want to go that way anyway

My stash of worsted weight scraps was calling to be, so... One pair of itty bitty baby mittens done!

Today's goal is to get a bit more done on my "radicalized by basic decency" cross stitch piece. I'm just past halfway done now!

I finally got my crafting mojo back today, and finished up these baby pants. I picked this heathered blue yarn because I think it makes them feel like blue jeans. Shout out to my knitting belt, which makes knitting possible for me again! #knitting

Cool. Cool cool cool.

This was the extent of our Christmas decorating, but I think it was enough. 😊

I'm not saying that I procrastinate sewing on buttons, but... According to Ravelry, I knit this sweater 13 years ago, and just sewed on the buttons today 😆🤦🏻‍♀️ #knitsky

I came across this bootie pattern because I wanted something I could knit on two needles (so I could use my knitting belt) and in a DK weight yarn. I am absolutely in love with how cute these are. Pictures do not do them justice. #knitsky

This baby sweater is striped the way it is because I didn't have enough of any of the colors to do more. But it turned out to be one of my favorites this year! #knitsky

And done! My brother and his wife are going to cackle at this, which is my goal. 😁 Pattern: MaxStitchesArt on Etsy I did this on lighter fabric than called for, so I changed the lettering to black. I also added a couple of half stitches to the "G" to make my brain happy.

A small detail that I appreciate in this Cthulhu cross stitch pattern is that his pentagram is stitched in DMC color 666. It's the little things.

I'm getting ready to send some boxes to Pine Ridge, and apparently I've knit 7 Helix Hats this year.

I'm a little over 50% done with this adorable Cthulhu for my brother and his wife. I haven't gotten to his horns yet, and it's giving me Hellboy vibes #crossstitch #stitchsky

I've been working my way through "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die." Today's album was John Prine, a country record from 1971. My favorite song was "Your Flag Decal Won’t Get You Into Heaven Anymore." Still relevant, 55 years later.

I'm going to visit my stitching bestie tomorrow, so I had to finally iron and frame this hungry little ghost I made for her (free pattern from @lolacrow.bsky.social ). #stitchsky #crossstitch

Moving the q-snap on my bear. I'm thinking I might try Royal rows for my next pass 🤔 #stitchsky #crossstitch

Stitching finished!! Started July 8, finished November 1. 17,936 stitches, 8.4"x10.9" Pattern from QuillandThreadLLC on Etsy #stitchsky #crossstitch

One of the fun things about cross stitch is that I'll be working away, focused on the stitches I'm currently working on, when suddenly I step back and realize, "oh! That weird little ovary shape I just did is a sheep's head!" #crossstitch #stitchsky

Moving the q-snap one last time! 83% done, 3033 stitches to go. #crossstitch #stitchsky

In today's episode of "I'm flight af so I can't concentrate on one project for now than 5 seconds at a time": I walked past my spinning wheel and said (John Mulaney voice) "Okay!" Fiber is from Knit Picks, the wheel is a Majacraft Suzie Pro. #spinning

This morning's project was making this jelly roll race quilt. It was a small roll (only 20 strips) so now it's off to my mom (and her fabric stash) for enbiggening and then quilting. #quilting

I have reached the bottom of the pattern. Now all I need to stitch is the rest of the column and everything to the right of it. Easy peasy. #stitchsky

I've been using iHerb for years to get my (non-autism curing 🙄) supplements. I just cancelled my subscription. Once again: this is why we can't have nice things.

I had a craving to hand knit something, so I've been working on this baby sweater. Unfortunately, the yarn is driving me crazy because it keeps breaking. I'm persevering, but it's dangerously close to going into a timeout. Pattern: POP! baby cardigan by Rachel Atkinson

I'm just over 50% on this cross stitch piece, I should be ready to move the q-snap in the next day or two. I'm excited, because the bottom portion has sheep! Pattern from QuillandThreadLLC on Etsy

The thing about being an artist is that sometimes you’ll have a really silly/cursed image enter your head and spend hours of your life drawing it. Hours you’ll never get back.

The world continues to be terrible, but I made some flannel baby pants for donation, and they make me smile. Pattern is from Made By Rae.

this poem got a lot of flak when it was written because people have no reading comprehension but i've been thinking about it a lot again (by @vinayrk.bsky.social unless i'm mistaken)

Cross stitching on black 16ct aida seemed like a good idea at the time.... Pattern is Space Possum by TwistyThreadsDesigns on Etsy

Husband: So what are you working on now? Me: I'm knitting an emotional support chicken. Husband: I don't know why I even ask anymore.

My deaf dog doesn't hear the doorbell anymore, so I will wake her up to answer the door with me. Sales people are less pushy when my 40lb dog is barking at them.

The Very Cross Stitchers. Our symbol would be a skull and crossbones, where the eyes are X's that are clearly cross stitches, and the crossbones would be two threaded needles. Or maybe one needle is unthreaded, and that's why we're cross? 🤔

I finished my paint by number! My family will be thrilled to have our dining room table back 😄 #paintbynumber #craftsky #fox

One of my current projects is this paint by number from Schipper. My painting technique is fairly terrible (wavy edges, willy-nilly brush strokes) but I'm enjoying the process.

I think the secret to making bread in a bread machine is to make sure to put the freaking paddle in the pan. But that's just been my experience, ymmv.

I just finished cross stitching this little guy, and his expression still cracks me up every time I look at it. Pattern by HappySlothPatterns on Etsy, stitched on 16 count yellow Aida.

Moving the qsnap means I get a full view of this guy, whose expression always makes me smile. Pattern is "Poker Face" mini. Art by Alison Friend, pattern by Contemporary Cross. #crossstitch

This is Fern. She's 13, and The Very Best Wigglebutt.

This afternoon I was woken up from nap so I could go downstairs and eat cake. Living my best life, blessed, etc.

Possibly controversial opinion: I prefer to see the movie/TV series before reading the book. The book's always better, and I already have a picture of what the characters look like when I start reading.
