Fascism is expensive.

Swatching for gauge (Trump method). 1. Knit swatch 4 inches square. 2. Claim swatch is 6 inches square. 3. Do not block swatch. Blocking is woke. 4. Measure gauge. 5. If gauge is off, smash ruler. 6. Claim ruler was made by Biden. 7. Gauge is now correct. 8. Continue to not release Epstein files.

Just an update. Today I made our first donation of $215 to The Sameer Project to help their relief efforts in Southern Gaza.

Did you know you can mend your clothes using felting? It's really fun and can be done with wool roving or even scraps of yarn. #visiblemending #slowfashion #repair #felting #sustainability 🧶🪡🧵

From now through at least October, all profit from every Min Amanne Tatreez kit purchased from my shop will go directly to aid relief efforts in Gaza. #tatreez #embroidery #crossstitch #craftivism #palestine #gaza #stopgenocide 🪡🧵🧶

Announcing more events (open craft nights!), classes, and our next craftivism book club pick. 101 class registration will open Sunday (7/14) at 5pm on the website.

Super excited to host my first Craftivism Book Club on July 2! I've partnered with our neighbor The Little Book to prepare for this and am looking forward to it so much. Our first read will be Crafting A Better World, by Diana Weymar of the amazing @tinypricksproject.bsky.social

BOOKMARK OF THE DAY (Front and back) June 15, 2025 At the U.S. Capitol protest, police took an elderly veteran's walker away, handcuffed him, & made him walk without it. People with disabilities in our communities must be protected from this fascist #TrumpRegime. Use #Craftivism to #StandUp.

Wow.

All about Lucy's Kids Craft Club. 🧶🪡🧵

So excited to celebrate the shop opening on Local Yarn Store Day! Mugs for everyone and a free tote with $75 purchase, while supplies last. I haven't manned a retail counter since college, so my big ask is patience. 🧵🪡🧶

Since the times I'm at the shop doesn't always coincide with delivery windows, almost all products arrive at my home first. It's been fun to see how consistent Thor (full name Thorbjorn, AKA Thorby, Thorbs, Roy Thorbison...) is inspecting them! Curlworks pouches + Rebel Stitchers spindles! 🧶🪡🧵🐱

Ok....this needs to happen.

www.blacksheepcraftshop.com is now live and selling gift cards! Other products won't be available for purchase until after our in-store opening, but you can preview them. I'm adding new products every day! 🧶🪡🧵 #knitting #embroidery #crossstitch #desmoines #fabricarts #lys #slowfashion
