People are quick to pooh-pooh things like knitting and crochet and embroidery and quilting, but there's something a little rebellious about deliberately being inefficient when we're constantly bombarded with tips to optimize our personal output.

🧵You can help flood victims in Texas by donating to the organizations I've linked in replies. There may be red, blue, and purple states, but in this moment, these are children and families forever broken. I send my love, my honor and my faith in humanity to help hold these people together.

This feels like the exact sort of sleazy corporate thing Magic Beans would perpetuate. Thx for inspiring me all those years ago with the Unicorn Frappuccino, but for this among many, MANY other reasons I will never go back. So glad their fictional counterpart gets demolished in ALIGNMENT.

HAPPY SOLSTICE AND PRIDE MONTH - MAY I RECCOMEND YOU *THE TAROT SEQUENCE BY K.D. EDWARDS*?

Get your tickets now! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be caught up for the fourth book that releases soon. Perfect for Pride Month and Solstice!

Another great shot of Chai, my sweet, unbothered king. Stress? He doesn’t know her. But if he did, he’d climb into her lap and purr.

A much overdue kitty update: Cider has discovered rain also happens outside the office window; Chai is pursuing a career in cybersecurity, and Pumpkin got arrested for being too cute (aka is recovering from his neuter very well).

Tonight at 8pm ET, LolaBean Yarn Co. is returning to Wakanda. Black by popular demand, one of the most beloved and powerful collections we’ve ever created is making its triumphant return—this time with a little extra vibranium in the dye pots.

This was SO FUN! Thank you both for sharing your time with us - if anyone out there is waiting to pull the trigger on membership for either (or both) of KD’s or Micah’s Patreons, let this be your sign to go for it!

Happy Mass Market Candy Day!

First sock done for my wife’s Valentine’s Day present!! I love the candy-hearts vibes of Beach Bum by Twisted Ambitions Yarn. Pattern is Tadpoles by Jenna Swanson (free on Ravelry, and my go-to sock pattern). I actually have it memorized after nearly 15 years of knitting socks!

I've found things on here that weren't available on my local library's libby, and discovered a lot of books I probably wouldn't have heard of otherwise. Definitely worth grabbing a membership!

And here are some more lovely books with queer rep and the bookish macarons I made for them 🥹🫶 I hope you like them as much as I do! #booksky

The Black Fiber Folks Starter Pack and Feed is an ever-growing list of black crochet, knit, weaving, and yarn 🧶 creatives on bsky. You can easily follow everyone on the list or request to be added by replying to this post. go.bsky.app/MPqN7w5

Honestly as an author, this is THE DREAM (seriously though Sara your work is IMMACULATE)

Snow dye part two: good soup! This is a mix of fiber bases @klmcclan.bsky.social and I dyed up while she was here. Colors used are all Jacquard/Dharma acid dyes: Hot Fuschia, Purple Pop, and Blacklight Blue (so the yarn will be UV reactive)! #yarndyeing #knitting #indiedyer

Update: she did indeed finish ALIGNMENT today and she loved it!!!! 🖤

There’s nothing quite like a reader getting to one of the huge emotional moments in your book and loving it just as much as you hoped they would…except maybe knowing that they have a couple of major moments still ahead 😉

First finished object of 2025! A pair of socks 🧦 for Bean! They’re practically glowing neon in real life, which makes the colorway feel like a sunset.

Iconic. 10000/10 🌟

I’m on a mission to solve this. And that means a relisten to the series + reread of the Omnibus content. Please enjoy my live-blogged findings. #TeamRedString #TheTarotSequence 1/?

I love it when my kid sends me pictures of the kitties - today, it’s Chai, my goofy boy, absolutely blissed out post-cat-fishing.

It’s a drizzly day here in DFW so I thought I would bring a little warmth back to the timeline with an ALIGNMENT snippet - one of my favorite moments I got to write. Enjoy! #urbanfantasy #lgbtqia #books

It’s INCREDIBLY important to tell creators when you appreciate what they do - I’ve been incredibly lucky to have made some incredible friends by virtue of sharing how their work impacted me, and I wouldn’t be the same without these people. Plus, who doesn’t love making someone’s day?

A rare Cider photo - usually he sees me and immediately comes over to flop on the ground for pets. Little dude will literally rollie-pollie around trying to get as many pets as possible, all while aggressively licking your hand (since his meow never returned), so most pics are in motion now 😂

Finally deactivated my Twitter account and I feel so much better for it!! In the coming days I’ll start posting the snippets from ALIGNMENT and the moodboards as well. And of course, a liveblög reread of THE LAST SUN is in order!

I think I might own the world’s silliest cat. Also, I learned that Chai actually enjoys belly rubs, which is unheard of to me - I have never met a cat so absolutely chill. I guess he’s an iced Chai Latte 😎
