I read somewhere that unfinished and abandoned projects describe the life of an artist more than the finished projects. In my case,I have two stunning garments-one cardigan and one vest which is just needs a couple of hours of work after the 100+ hyperfocus hours i have poured into them. #pwd #pwme

I have been trying to be a Panda for the last few years and it is still a wip. But finally made a cute reminder for that. 🥰 #crochet #amigurumi 🧶 #bsnm

Everyone deserves housing. Everyone deserves healthcare. Everyone deserves food, water and clean air. These are not things you should have to “earn”. Your ability to survive should not be based on economic output. Help people meet their basic needs & watch the world change.

You have to let things Occupy their own space. This room is small, But the green settee Likes to be here. .... You have to let things Be as they are. Who knows which of us Deserves the world more? - Robert Bly #Poetry 💙📚👀

Chronic illness is unfair & unrelenting. I’m facing a threat to my housing which has wrecked my baseline. I haven’t written in weeks. I don’t have a working washing machine so I’m covered in hives. Today multiple things broke on me. Then I broke. Sorry for the lack of writing. My brain is done.

🧶🧦 Socks 3 of 2026 - Baudelaire by Cookie A I fell in love with the red in the pattern photo, but couldn't get similar red. My second toe up socks and it is a struggle to get it over my heel. But once it is done,the fit is so damn good. I should have used a bigger needle for the lace though #knitsky

I was sad one day and went for a walk; I sat in a field. A rabbit noticed my condition and came near. It often does not take more than that to help at times- to just be close to creatures who are so full of knowing, so full of love that they don't -chat, -St. John of the Cross #Poetry 💙📚👀

A very huggable and colourful Caterpillar filled with lots of texture. I cannot stop touching it. 🥰 I haven't made a sale this year. So if you are in India and looking something adorable for your loved ones, please do check out my store! ♥️ youtube.com/shorts/G0HAS...

You never do know who you touch. Remember that. Remember that there's someone out there who is better for having you in their life. And be excellent.

Life leans towards living And, while death claims all things at the end, There were such precious times between, In which everything was radiant And we loved, again, this world. - Tom Hirons #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

Steadily coming back to myself, including creatively, after surgery last month and a recovery period which has been tougher than expected in every possible way. Read this line of a Rumi poem and this piece buzzed around in my head incessantly until I made it. This counts as #SciArt right?

When loss rips off the doors of the heart, or sadness veils your vision with despair, practice becomes simply bearing the truth. In the choice to let go of your known way of being, the whole world is revealed to your new eyes. - Dana Faulds #Poetry 💙📚👀

When there was air, when you could breathe any day if you liked, and if you wanted to you could run, I used to climb those hills back of town and follow a gully so my eyes were at ground level and could look out through grass as the stems bent in their tensile way - William Stafford #Poetry 💙📚👀

🧶 Sock 1 of 2026 - Fintastic Fish from the Joyful Colourwork Socks book by @stoneknits.bsky.social This is my third from the book so far and joy is boundless everytime. #knitsky 🧦

a day is only lost if you forgot to say something kind to yourself or another if you forgot to pause to search for a tiny spark of beauty amongst the drudgery glimmering like gold in the mud - #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

Meet Ammini, latest addition to my bedside army! All my other babies need a good bath and I am so sad that I didnt have that energy to spare for them in all these months. I miss being active here. Will try to peep in every couple of days until I can handle it without worsening symptoms :( #pwme 🧶

a billion stars go spinning through the night, blazing high above your head. But in you is the presence that will be, when all the stars are dead. - Rainer Maria Rilke #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

My seventh year of sharing Bibliofiles - my favourite reads from last year. The reading itch only continues to grow. :) I read fewer books (58 vs 63 in 2024) but this year’s list has more variety, including fiction. Short reviews and the long list is on the blog. manuscrypts.com/2025/12/28/b...

from the beginning of time, in childhood, I thought that pain meant I was not loved. It meant I loved. - Louise Gluck #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

New year, new week, and a new reminder, looking for 3 commissions this month to pay my utilities. (Share if you see this, my next client might be one of your followers) #BSNM #AmWriting #OpenForCommissions

On the days my sickness talks to me, I remember small magic. I remember the way the pretty ivy outside my window entwines with white wood. I remember the way the rain softly taps against my window to help me fall asleep. - @nikitagill.bsky.social #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

Craft isn’t apolitical. It builds care, skills, and material survival outside capitalist extraction. That is resistance. Don't get me wrong. Go out and protest. Do it. Be brave & loud. And equally, no need to choose between making things AND organizing. We do both. One sustains the other. 🧶

That we can make a house called tomorrow. What we bring, finally, into the new day, every day, Is ourselves. And that's all we need To start. That's everything we require to keep going. Look back only for as long as you must, Then go forward into the history you will make. -Alberto Rios #Poetry 💙📚👀

My latest YouTube video - an introductory talk about different Hat styles, sizing, construction methods and more. Because there is so much more to the humble woolly Hat! Too much for a 25min video, I have a lot more talks planned ;) 🧶 #KnitSky youtu.be/t_qf7-Y93cY?...

Bring me all of your dreams, You dreamer, Bring me all your Heart melodies That I may wrap them In a blue cloud-cloth Away from the too-rough fingers Of the world. - Langston Hughes #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

Erm, I dunno, pursue my personal and professional goals, nurture loving relationships, contribute to my communities, explore the world, read, learn, create? Yep, so sad and confusing, my childless 40s!

Need money for creatine to treat my covid brain damage and other medical necessities! #MutualAid #DisabilityCrowdfund #HelpSky #MAV 💕💸

🧶 Started the year with a crash on top of the "yet to recover from the last outing" thing. But luckily these two are done. Now praying that nephews won't outgrow their FAVOURITE footballers. All the discrepencies football fans notice here are because of my ignorance only, not disrespect #amigurumi

Hi there Blue Sky folks! I'm new here, Here's some Bach Cello Suits in the west of Ireland winter sun. Is what you're into? Would you like to hear more? I'm finding it too upsetting to open up Twitter these days...

'Two years of displacement, fear, hunger, loss, oppression, and suffering 😔🙏💔😭 I am grateful to everyone who has donated. I am confident that things will get better someday. Please donate to help my children through this ordeal.'

All day, I replay these words: Is this the path of love? ... I notice what the question is not. Not, "Is this right?" Not, "Is this wrong?" It just longs to know how the action of existence links us to the path to love. And is it this? Is it this? - Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer #Poetry 💙📚👀

I think it's so funny when people who are used to Playing An Algorithm go to new social media sites that haven't really implemented much Algorithm, and find themselves flailing because they're posting Correctly but they're not getting anywhere near the numbers they do on solidified Algoritm sites.

🧶 Took five months to do the four rows!! When one row has close to 1k stitches, cant complain. 🤭 Now, I can start with the edge charts. This needs a lot of focus and hence makes me more sick after the knitting session. It is the kind of sick I am choosing once in a while for my happiness #knitsky

I finally made good use of the holidays, and wrote a bunch and redid my website. Please take look, read and send me some love :) purisubzi.in. Oh, and happy new year!

we like our old scarves, we like to have our own way, we like to pet dogs. Poetry- but what is poetry. More than one flimsy answer has been given to that question. And I don't know, and don't know, and I cling to it as to a life line. - Wislawa Szymborska #Poetry 💙📚👀 #LiteratureSky

Socks 21 of 2025 - Ending with the the Purr-fect socks which are in no way perfect, but makes me so happy with all the vibrant colours. 🥰 #knitsky 🧦🧶 Had to use 3mm needles for the colourwork part because otherwise it won't go over my heel. High instep :(

Sometimes our best efforts do not go amiss; sometimes we do as we meant to. The sun will sometimes melt a field of sorrow that seemed hard frozen: may it happen for you. - Sheenagh Pugh #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

🧶 My final order of 2025 is ready. Another little Snowhite for somebody's niece. I used a smaller hook this time. This month I made three dolls and I am starting to like the process a bit more than usual. 😬 #crochetsky #amigurumi

I regret not buying a noise cancelling headphone when I had money. Stupid neighbours and their constant house renovation sucks!!!

Ex Machina Book One feels less like a superhero story and more like a political drama with a cape on standby. Smart, grounded, and a bit cynical, it pulls you in by asking what happens after the hero decides to run a city instead. 💙📚 #BookSky #GraphicNovels

Lost Dogs by Jeff Lemire is a tough, quiet read. It feels like a dark fable where things go wrong fast and never really recover. Very little dialogue, lots of heavy silence, and an ending that just sits with you in an uncomfortable way. 💙📚 #BookSky #GraphicNovels

Linda Gregg is a treasure

People who live by the sea understand eternity. They copy the curves of the waves, their hearts beat with the tides, & the saltiness of their blood corresponds with the sea. They know that the house of flesh is only a sandcastle built on the shore, -Erica Jong #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

The main predictors of adult (financial) success are nepotism, wealth, and sheer dumb luck. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

🧶 some glamour shots of the almost-complete #temperatureblanket 2025 ✨ the last four days will each be one side of the border row; 19x19+4=365 pattern is feltedbutton’s Painted Pixels, yarn is a variety of sock / sport weight from local dyers #crochetaway

It is in the silence that my hope is, and my aim. A song whose lines I cannot make or sing sounds men's silence like a root. Let me say and not mourn: the world lives in the death of speech and sings there. - Wendell Berry #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

Before I post the Z knit for my #knittingthealphabet challenge, I wanted to share some of my category favourites for #showmeyourknits Knitters choice. Shawl: A - Anemones scarf Hat: D - Dancing Dragonfly Beanie Cowl: H - Heronic chart Socks: J - Journey socks Mitts: U - Underwing mitts #knit 🧶

I don't think I will have the energy to tolerate watching Stranger Things anytime soon. :( But I am glad that I found my way back to 30 Rock. So much fun I am having.
