Year two of Pantone giving us the color we deserve. This year's was like if meh was a color; next year's is literally nothing (white, aka Cloud Dancer). It's OK, Pantone, we gave up, too.

Do your thing, Tennessee 7! We're rooting for you and our apology for Omar Little's death.

Overheard at the library: “my husband doesn’t have a family tree, he has a whole forest.” Love that.

Have been seeing a lot of posts lately in knitting groups about not being able to understand patterns. I get not knowing what abbreviations mean but I feel like they mean something else. Do you have problems with patterns and what are they? No judgement here, just curious. #craftsky 🧶

Have a bunch of granny squares lying around you don't know what to do with? Turn them into Christmas tree ornaments. So cute and easy! #craftsky 🧶 www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/12/01/g...

You know how Amazon gets us? It's the free shipping. Twice this weekend I didn't place orders on things I wanted that were on sale but the shipping cost almost as much as the item (like $17 to ship a small $19 thing). Probably good I didn't buy but I'd like to support those businesses, too.

Want to make some of your gifts this year? I've got a collection of more than 50 ideas you can make, whether you knit, crochet, use a knitting machine, sew, embroider, or none of the above! #craftsky www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/11/30/h...

This is a pretty niche statement, but if you're a craft blogger (or food, or probably other things) and you want to feel like you've done some things, write a post with 50+ items that are all your posts. Super gratifying (and coming tomorrow).

Tried to transfer 10 photos from my phone to my PC and it says I don't have enough space. Guess I maybe finally need a new computer. (Yes I could just get a bigger hard drive but the machine is like 10 years old so let me dream.)

A big part of crafting for me is amusing myself, and the fact that this Santa hat pillow turned out just how I wanted with a rather strange component definitely amused me. #crochet #craftsky 🧶 www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/11/20/c...

The teen likes it when I read her English reading aloud to her, and I like the time with her so I do it when she asks. We’re currently reading “In Cold Blood,” which is not big on laughs but boy did I get one last night.

Still thinking about the guy at the Neighborhood Market this morning who was buying a bath pouf, a box of borax and a bag of tortillas. And nothing else. There's definitely a story there.

Whirlwind weekend with the teen's school play on Thursday, a school dance on Friday, Girl Scout camp out Saturday and Sunday. So of course I came home and stitched kitchen implements on a piece of muslin. Look how cute! #craftsky

Do I *need* tiny turkey trinket cups for my Thanksgiving table? Absolutely not. Am I thinking about treats to put in them so I have an excuse to make them? Of course. Who's with me? www.repeatcrafterme.com/2025/11/croc... #craftsky 🧶

New rule: you can't call it Black Friday unless it's the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday sales do not start Nov. 1. That's not how a day works.

Ready for Christmas knitting? I've rounded up more than 25 fun and easy knit Christmas ornaments you can make (also great for using odd balls, probably my favorite thing about making ornaments!). www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/11/13/k... #craftsky 🧶

I spent my weekend ripping the sleeves off a cold shoulder dress for my daughter to wear to a school dance. So of course I had to write a post about it. In case you ever need to do the same. #craftsky www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/11/10/h...

Had so much fun at the NWA Fiber Fest this morning, bought *a few* little treats and made a video about it/why we need to support indie yarn makers now if we can. Check it out here: youtu.be/7KXrI8v2a8A #craftsky 🧶

All the good vibes for anyone who has to fly tomorrow, including my man, whose flight was already cancelled and automatically rebooked from Atlanta to Detroit, where, if everything is by some miracle on time, he has 32 minutes to change terminals to get home to me. Thanks, Republicans.

Just cut enough hair out of my vacuum roller to make a wig for a small human. Kind of gross, but most of it used to be mine. Also, super satisfying. And it doesn't smell like it's trying to catch fire now. Bonus.

Fall cleaning is my thing, and we're deep into it at ODC HQ. One simple chore the teen left for me recently: cleaning a paint brush covered in dried paint. This is actually super easy but it does take time. Check out my method: www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/11/05/h... #craftsky

My car knew the anthem I needed this morning. Semi-related: huge congrats to Mississippi on breaking the GOP supermajority in the state senate. Wish we could do Arkansas next. youtu.be/_DgWQG-zlAY?...

Feeling a little better tonight for the first time in a long time. Let’s build on it in the year to come.

Finger knitting may be the fastest, easiest, most fun way to use your yarn leftovers. Today I'm making little wreaths and I might just be using them to decorate every package this holiday season. www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/11/03/f... #craftsky 🧶

Today I learned Aldi doesn’t open until 9. At least where I live. Totally messed up my “I’ll just grab a few things on the way home from dropoff” plan. Oh well. Will have to do it later.

OK, what did y'all think of #gameofwool ? I'm not technical enough to have figured out how to watch it in the states, but it might have been OK? I want to know! knitting.craftgossip.com/game-of-wool... #craftsky

One of my goals every winter is to have as many pockets as many places as I can. To help with that goal, I bring you this excellent and super cozy machine knit pocket scarf (which you could knit by hand, too!). www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/10/31/p... #craftsky 🧶

'Twas the night before Halloween, so it was time to make pumpkin cupcake muffin things. That's their official name. Because something made with cake mix can't *really* be a muffin, right? www.ourdailycraft.com/2012/10/05/t...

This is pretty niche #bloggerproblems, but the ineffectiveness of searching your own photos on Canva is really grinding my gears. Like how can I search the actual file name and it still gives me 100 choices? Just show me the one I asked for!

A friend on another platform asked a question I'd love your answers to: what do you think are the three main values that define Gen X?

Things I say in Gridiron season: I never touched the Trump wig.

Last night I had a dream that every Walmart Supercenter had a food pantry where they gave away all the expired/close to expiring food and damaged items they couldn't sell. I'm sure it would never happen but it's a cool idea!

Posted my first video in, uh, a long time to show how I make air dry clay. Three ingredients, about five minutes of stirring and lots of project possibilities! #craftsky youtu.be/DTlM1pGoDfo?...

I'm real worried about this session, but at least we got this one. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

Ghosts seem to be my preferred motif for spooky season this year, so check out this collection of ghost crafts if you're feeling the same way! There's knitting, crochet, sewing, cross stitch + more! #craftsky 🧶 www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/10/03/g...

I seem to be on a roll of ghost related crafts this year. I made these little crochet ghosts the other day. They're really easy to make and you can change them up a bunch of different ways. #craftsky 🧶 www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/10/01/c...

Are mushrooms a fall thing? I don't really know, but this knitting machine-made mushroom sure looks cute in my mossy and leafy back yard. #craftsky 🧶 www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/09/26/k...

I don't know why embroidering on paper is so satisfying, but it totally is. Probably all the stabbing you have to do to poke the holes. Anyway, I made a little Halloween stitching on paper and I kind of love it. www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/09/25/h... #craftsky

Looking for some pumpkin patterns to craft? Here's a collection of my knit, crochet and knitting machine pumpkins for your perusal. (Also I love this picture.) #craftsky www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/09/24/y... 🧶

Parents these days are thinking ahead way more than I ever did. The Halloween picture book section is completely cleared out already!

The teen: According to Google, this is my fifth Rapture. Also: What do we do when the Christians are gone? Throw a party? I think she may be on to something.

I feel like it might be a good day to play with some clay. This DIY air dry clay recipe uses just three ingredients you probably already have in your house. #craftsky www.ourdailycraft.com/2020/12/15/d...

I don't know why nature has decided we need a minutes long dramatic downpour every afternoon but I'm here for it. #arwx

Am *so close* to being done with my work for other people for the week. You can bet I'm staying far away from the Internet tomorrow/all weekend.

Just head a commercial for some kind of drink (I wasn't really listening) that said it improves "social stamina." Sorry, there is no drink that's going to me want to hang out with people.

I wonder if my old coworkers know I still listen to their playlists and think of them.

The temperature dropped 9 degrees in the less than 10 minutes it took me to drive to school. That feels better.

It was a miserable day to pretend it's cold enough to want to wear a wool and alpaca kerchief. The things I do for you people. #craftsky 🧶 www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/09/17/w...

Word I can't spell today: cornucopia. What am I writing about right now? Cornucopia cross stitch patterns. (Got it right that last time thinking really hard about it.) #writerproblems

Sitting in the pickup line with both the air conditioner and the seat warmer on. When the last of summer combines with a backache.
