The CEO of #Starbucks could take a substantial paycut and use some of that money to pay the Baristas fairly…and *still* be a gahtdamn BILLIONAIRE. #starbucksstrike

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Found some balls of yarn in my stash. No label, but they were in a bag of leftover Colinette “Jitterbug”. It was bought maybe 15 years ago for a project I knitted, hated, and frogged. It wanted to be a camisole, and so it is. Secret Summer Crop. Designer: Jessie Maed #knitsky #craftsky #ravelry

Handknit camisole in colorway containing burgundy, blues, lavender, purples.Knitted fabric with colors of burgundy, lavender, blues

I used to make myself little talisman bags. I’d put shells, wee sachets of dried rose petals, tiny milagros in them. Seeing SINNERS, and the general state of fuckery that is the world these days, has made me want to wear one again. This waxed linen pouch is 25+ yrs old. #craftsky #makersgonnamake

Anyone else wrapped their devices back in The Day? The company was called i-A-Peel. Peel and stick paper w/a side to print on iPod/Nook/Kindle/iPad/laptops. On the unprinted side there were guidelines and tabs so placement was always perfect. I used a Shepard Fairey #OBEY wallpaper on this iPod.

I don’t know what other people do with their #TraderJoes reusable cloth shopping bags, but I use them as project bags for knitting, quilting, and embroidery projects. Fancy-schmancy knitting bags are cute, but no. These bags are fun, hilarious, and what, 5 bucks a pop? Gimme all o’them. #knitsy
